it's an android app that lets you automate almost anything on your phone/android system. downsides are it's a pay app, not foss, and fairly complicated to set up at first. upsides are it is almost unlimited with what you can automate. looks like there is a free trial. might be a lemmy-instance for it, (there's a reddit sub) disclaimer; i haven't used it for a while now on older android releases.

Have you tried using Tasker to schedule QRalarm for you?

They were using those trailers back in 1985, but they weren't calling them temporary, it was just the only way they could afford to add classrooms instead of cramming more students in. I was even sitting in one of those watching the space shuttle failed launch on a tv on a cart with a vcr on the lower shelf.

I swear I've seen this before, like pre-YouTube or circa 2001. i even remember the woman only lasting a few minutes on the forum that was scrutinizing it because she didn't seem to be aware of trolls. if this is a recent interview then maybe it was done as some sort of homage. only way i would have come across it back then was if someone threw up a link in general chat on pirat4x4.

I'm not sure I understand - what would you call Banjo-Kazooie? Or even Super Mario 64? What do you mean by "3d platformer"? Like "open world" kinda game?

After reading the "issues" discussion from w weeks ago, this is just an idea at this point. The simplemobiletools fork was a mock up for something that sounds like its very much in the planning/ideas stage. you can also go to fossify.org to see another mock up that does nothing right now. You could message one of them, but I think maybe its some MIT software team / group & their just tossing ideas around for a foss hub of sorts.

I prefer self checkout for several reasons. And I agree with you - let's pay workers a living wage. That being said, I don't put 100% of the financial reponsibility on employers. I feel we (the consumers) need to acknowledge that employers aren't the sole beneficiaries in this system. Translation; I want a living wage policy to be implemented but also I realize that this means an increase in the price I pay for (some) services. With this in mind, maybe I should receive a discount for using self checkout. Alternatively, how would you feel about being charged directly for the amount of time required for a "checker" to scan your items & ring you up? For example if you paid $0.33/minute this would cover a $20/hr wage.

Disclaimer: This "shared responsibility" can't be universally applied across all goods & services; employers don't get carte blanche to pass 100% of these costs onto the consumer. A living wage policy might entail some sort of agreed upon "max profit" policy or "open books" / transparent finances approach.

I'd say 400% + is a more realistic cost of buying components local vs. online. Regardless, I miss having the local option even tho I can actually get most parts delivered faster than it used to take me to drive to Fry's & back.

instead of the majority of users having to create blocks (multiple opt-outs) couldn't this be set up so users that want bot posts sign up or opt-in somehow?

The only time I've ever witnessed this was opening nite of "Star Wars" in La Puente/West Covina area ~ 45 years ago. Back then that was the title of the movie (not "A New Hope" Episode IV).
