re: fdroid
@lyncia (i do think you have the most recent termux though--just with bad repos that yell at you for reasons that don't exist)
fdroid
@lyncia ohhh
yeaaaah, fdroid is just...weird. big fan of updates not working unless you manually install them in-app too 
hopefully not too splainy
@lyncia yuuuup, it's super-not obvious why too :\
this happens when you don't get a wakelock since android is pretty hardcore about battery usage. you can get one either with termux-wake-lock, or toggling it from the notification termux always has open
(also, a wakelock doesn't mean keeping your phone awake, just stopping termux from sleeping)
@lyncia oh, this kinda sucks, but you need to run termux-change-repo right off the bat right now to pick a better mirror, since the default is pretty bad
@lyncia i mean, saying "i want something better than discord" is like saying "i want something colder than the actual sun"
i don't really know about a lot of lo-fi things that a lot of people could access easily, but imo, gitea is a pretty good self-hosted thing that would be leagues less annoying
@lyncia oof, mailing lists are...actually kinda gnarly since every single message anyone sends to anyone else ends up in your inbox
like, imagine if every single message sent across an entire service was pinging you, and that's what mailing lists are like
you have to filter aggressively to even survive being in more than one at the same time if they are active
usenet is still kinda neat though! it's kinda like a low-fi reddit without voting
@lyncia hee, oh nooo
it's definitely an Entire Thing™
this is like, the 900th surprisingly useful thing i've found out i can "just use ssh for"
i still just can't get over how extraordinarily useful ssh is. it's an absolute miracle that something like this can even exist
this is cool because it means
- all of my mail is offline after i get it
- i can access it on everything still
huh! i just managed to set up cli email on my phone with basically zero effort
turns out you can just shove TRAMP paths into rmail's config to steal the setup of anything you can SSH to
@cinnamon imagine finishing thi
@lyncia oh, nice!
i ended up doing that with cli email with an address that i will never give out to someone i don't want to talk with directly
i think the tildeverse and other comfy pubnix really helped me actually appreciate email as a medium again, because otherwise it just always felt baaaaaad
@codl gosssh, yup. i mean, i think the most important part to realize is that

i also kinda drew this as a bit of an affirmation that it's okay to like things, even when they are weird
i (mostly) don't have problems with this anymore, but i know that it always feels so nice to see the sentiment places, so i hope it can be nice for others as well!
this time i experimented with trying to add detail using an eraser!
it's really cool how selectively removing things really makes things look dynamic--especially since i'm pretty sure i didn't use any lines smaller than 10px, and don't have pressure sensitivity~
@cinnamon yesss
sometimes i even dedicate a screen to it until i need it!
@cinnamon oh wow??
so, babystar and toddlergurl are the same person, and she managed to get on that list twice
