It's me irl berfday today.

Gonna ride to the beach and see what the ocean kicked up after all that. If I can find one shell I'll be happy, usually it's just rocks. My guess is that it'll look awful after last night.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 1y

Happy birthday!! I hope you find your shell and have excellent eats today!

I've been an enthusiastic Android user for nearly 15 years now, this Google change is pretty scary.

Installing apps through FDroid is no more "sideloading" than installing a game through Steam.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 1y (5 replies)

What happened? They're cracking down on non play store apk's?

thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y (4 replies)

My understanding is that the author of an APK will now need to be verified through some Google service, in order to be able to sign the file and be accepted by an Android device regardless of if it came through the Play (or alt) styles, or sideloaded directly by a user.

So itโ€™s not quite as locked down as iOS, but definitely a step in that direction (and in the wrong direction, IMO).

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y

Wow thatโ€™s pretty extreme for android honestly.

I think theyโ€™re trying to make the play store genuine competition to the iOS ecosystem. Itโ€™s laughably easy to pirate APKโ€™s which I would imagine would turn off a lot of developers, especially smaller ones that might just be one or two people.

That said, Iโ€™m sideloading on iOS latest firmware but itโ€™s not as easy as googling the name of the app and putting IPA in the search thread.

I kind of feel like I don't know where to look these days, everything is wrong.

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 10 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I ordered a large cappuccino and was told they don't have "large". They have small, regular and jumbo. I saw small, medium and large.

Don't complicate things please.

thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

At least it wasnโ€™t โ€œLarge, Grande, and Ventiโ€!

Doing little bits of odd cleaning while I dabble at a latch hook rug cushion cover thing. I bought it for Miniest for Christmas but she's not as interested in it as she is in trying to make small bears out of felt ๐Ÿ˜† so it's a crafternoon at the peelers!

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Holy shit. The weather last night was something fierce.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 1y

the wind howls through the lanes, railway station and trees

I think I can hear the major construction of bridges about 1 km away

TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 1y

It's kinda weird - sunshine on one side of the house and hail falling on the other.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 1y

I am tired of being cold.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

today at the beach it was a bit wild, once the sun was out it wasn't too cold

waves were crashing, no one else was there, no cars or fishing boats at the marina, no dog walkers, trees along the shore line were uprooted, a fence along the beach was undercut by waves and falling down

the beaches were strewn with sea lettuce, sponges of every colour and shape, so many different kinds of star fish, lots of sea urchins , blobs that I think were sea hares? Few shells

some finds, I think in a few days when the beach clears a bit I will find much more

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Really love your beach photos, thank you!

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y

Thank you.

It's an interesting beach, it borders on a nature reserve and there are huge reefs just off shore.

I wish the shells had prettier colours but that's not what Melbourne shells are like, they are all very muted.

that starfish in the photo would have been 40cm across with arms outstretched, it's the biggest starfish I have ever seen

Decided not to do museum. Too cozy at home with books.

I just had some very satisfying porridge. All winter, whenever the evening chills hit, I've been having a bowl of porridge.

Pizza is on its way and using my local fb group to try to find a home for the strays.

Omg yes pizza. I made Korean chicken sandos and they were aaaaaamaaazing. What are your pizza toppings of choice?

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 1y

Pretty much a vegetarian with salami and olives. Best of both worlds!

Hell yes!!! Got a fav? I'm a bit too scaredy cat for anything John Carpenter but LOVE what he's done, if that makes sense. Hope you're had a horrifically cozy evening.

Bellarine is copping this hard.

Just saw 2 bright green flashes a few k away then my speakers turned off and on a few times. Whole sky lit up.

Hail on a skylight isn't reassuring when one already has a broken window.

Forgot I have a double PT session in the afternoon. I didn't want to go but I know the trainer has a client after me so he'd be sitting around for 90mins waiting for the next person.

Something woke me up at 4:30am and I can't fall back to sleep :(
