I still get “This site can’t be reached” (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). Not sure why, but maybe their domain is included in some blocklist I use in Adguard Home on my router? I haven’t checked that.

The link is currently dead, but it seems to be the official one.

I couldn’t access their crowdfunding page either, so maybe they’re dead and gone?

When searching for it, multiple sources mention there’s a risk of it being a scam, but it’s hard to tell:

Update from 27 January 2025: Beware of possible fraud As user ElCanch0 writes in the comments of this article, there is a possibility that the Nexx or the upcoming crowdfunding campaign is a scam.

On news.ycombinator.com, several critical voices point out inconsistencies. Raddish2 writes in the thread that the Liberux employees listed may not exist (he was unable to find any information online) and that the company address may be an ordinary residential building. The address given is not listed in the public cadastre, although Spain normally lists not only buildings but also their floor plans. However, user InceptTM points out that the people can at least be found on LinkedIn. Another user says that he asked around and found out that some people from the company were involved in the bank fraud of Rodrigo Rato, who was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in 2017.

Another source (Liliputing.com) mentioning the possibility of it being a scam.

It’s also possible they just didn’t reach their crowdfunding goals, and had to end the project.

If anyone here knows more about this, I’m interested!

Visually, it reminds me of how you put your tongue out between the teeth to make the sound ;þ

For public transit in many different countries, I used to rely on Transportr but since it’s not being properly maintained and some countries stopped working, I’ve been relying on Öffi (Directions, Stations, Plans) instead. It presents the connections in a kind of time-based chart instead of a list, but I actually find it quite good after getting used to it.

Regarding pinning apps, you can add apps to Favorites by holding the app icon and tapping the ★ icon. On the homescreen, the pinned favorites can be shown and either sorted automatically by usage, or sorted manually to lock them in place on the screen. You can also do a mix of auto/manually sorted, so that the apps at the top are static while those below are dynamically changing.

Another option is adding one or multiple tags to each app (hold the icon, tap the three dots, then Customize). After setting some tags, you can then tap the pen icon in the bottom right corner of the Favorites view, tap the first + to add a new tag to favorites. You can then switch between “folders”/“collections” of the pinned tags inside the favorites view.

I’m not that person, but I’m satisfied with my GL.Inet Flint 2. It runs OpenWRT, and if you keep their version of the firmware, setting up a wireguard VPN is made very simple.

I clicked a few buttons, scrolled for a while, and then found the specs on this page, including this chart:

The specs seem generally fine, I think. I notice a built-in minijack, which I like. Though, I also notice only 10W charging which isn’t a lot – about half the charging power of my Pixel 7 Pro – but the battery will probably last for more cycles then. What do you notice? Any numbers that seem too low/high/outdated to you?

This looks cool, and I like your thoughts on it! Are you planning on an Android release too, somewhere down the road?

Thank you. I do have Arcticons Dark installed from F-Droid (it’s just called Arcticons there, it seems, while the other editions have their full names), and it’s the latest F-Droid release of it from 3 weeks ago. I already assumed it would work like you described, but only the “Breezy Weather” and “Pixel” icon packs are showing up there.

I’m unsure what could cause this, but some possibilities I can think of are:

🤏 Differences between F-Droid, Github, Accrescent and Google Play releases?

✋GrapheneOS system security restrictions limiting the scopes of the apps?

If you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know anything that could lead to a solution, I’m all ears!

Cool!

How/where did you get the Arcticons pack for Breezy Weather? I have their app icons installed and use them for my apps, but I’d like to use their weather icons too if that’s an option.

Magic Earth is proprietary, not FOSS.

Is this list currently included as one of your own saved lists on Google Maps? If so, it might be obtainable through Google Takeout. If not, have a look there anyway because I don’t know what else might be obtainable from there.

I just remembered this site which I have previously used to download the latest apk directly from Play Store for sideloading purposes.

https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

I’ll probably keep on using it for quickly obtaining the latest apk from Play Store in situations where the anonymous Aurora accounts are being rate limited or something like that, if the app is urgently needed.

If all you need from the public transport apps is routing and directions, maybe Transportr or Öffi could be the replacement you need.

Not choosing to vote […] is endorsing the establishment.

Where is the logic in that? By voting you’re actively acknowledging the legitimacy of the State. How would not voting be an endorsement of anything, as you see it?

Do you see installing a .dmg file (or installing through homebrew) on macOS as a workaround, or what do you mean? I’m not sure I have ever installed a single app from their store, so maybe it’s just that such a “workaround” feels normal to me, but scary to others?

Why use the App Store for that? https://librewolf.net/installation/macos/

For route finding, what about GraphHopper Maps?

I installed this by adding the github URL to Obtainium. It was very easy to set up, and worked fine in my brief testing. Thanks for the recommendation.

MacOS uses the APFS file system format nowadays, and used HFS+ before that. FAT and ExFAT formats are supported too. However, the NTFS format needs third party software to work.
