Just in case you're still following this thread: I just came across "Rabbit Junk" and they're exactly what I was looking for

Mainly, so that I don't have my games spread out over too many platforms :)

This sounds super interesting, but I'd much rather buy it on GOG than on Steam or itch.io. Any chance on releasing it there?

Thanks for posting this comment. I have the very same itch and now a bunch of music to check out!

I'd say that Threema has better UX than Signal, but both are fine. Neither great, but fine

Orion on iOS is also a Safari skin and supports extensions

That’s also an option. I usually make mine without due to friends with egg allergies and vegan friends

As an emulsifier, allowing the fats and the water to mix better. I _think_ it also might help to trap air bubbles. It helps you turn on the creaminess-knob

Agreed, HEMA is incredibly fun!

the YouTube app does the same. Infuriating. I don't have Chrome installed and it doesn't list the only third party browser I _do_ have installed: Orion

They did end up getting a Macbook. I wouldn't have suggested it, because I don't want to make people switch operating systems if they themselves don't want to. But they threw it into the mix, so I did include it in the list of suggestions

I recently helped a friend picking a new laptop. Just going through the options at the websites of manufacturers was a nightmare. Huge amount of choices, shitty filtering, separated into multiple product lines were I often enough had no idea what separated the lines from each other

Apple Music on i(pad)OS can be used with third party apps. There's plenty of better players out there than the built-in one

I don't think it's fair to call them "strange" personal beliefs

> The losses are concentrated in tropical moist broadleaf forests in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and parts of West Africa, driven by deforestation and forest degradation

If I read this correctly: No, forests are not suddenly emitting carbon. People are just felling enough trees and treating them badly enough, that their forests are now dying faster than they are regrowing

> Call me bad at parties, but a dedicated app for inviting people to the party is too much fanfare for my taste.

I agree. We threw a halloween party. We just discussed who we wanted to invite and threw everybody together in a whatsapp groupchat to announce the thing.

it's still correct and should be at least accepted as such, even if not explicitly taught

I'm very happy with Overcast. It does show ads for other podcasts in the now playing screen if you're using the free version. Premium is a subscription, but it's like 10 bucks a year. That's perfectly okay. And to be honest, I rarely look at the "now playing" screen anyways

Based on my experience and not hard data: Not most, but still quite a few. Some jobs more or less require an apprenticeship (carpenter and other handy jobs). Doing an apprenticeship for a job and afterwards going to university also happens a lot
