In this case, there is a trade-off between privacy and security. Using Google Play store is the most secure choice: Google is fairly strict about minimum API requirements for apps on its store, and it takes security seriously. They just don't take privacy seriously.
Personally, I've opted for using Play store for most apps unless they aren't available there or have some ridiculous subscription pricing, in which case I'll use Obtainium. My rationalisation is that I'm more worried about poor security exposing my personal & private data than I am about Google's invasion of my privacy when I use some of their services. It's a managed risk that I've decided works for me, but you may have a different risk profile.
Edit: oh I forgot to mention Accrescent. I have some apps installed from there and regularly check it for updates/new apps. GrapheneOS encourages using them as a store too.
I am so excited for this release! That persistent ID work really helps me out.
Nice! got any more molecule tattoos planned?
If you are losing trust for Mozilla and switch to Librewolf, should there be any issue with using addons that you get from addons.mozilla.org?
IIRC Dark Reader is discouraged in general from a privacy perspective due to it making you appear more unique. If you're using LibreWolf primarily to improve your browsing privacy, it's worth considering whether you still need Dark Reader.
However I don't believe there are any negative security implications with installing it from a.m.o and using it in LibreWolf. Just remember that for each extension you install, you have to extend the level of trust you grant your browser to cover each extension developer too.
Youth Code Europe 2025 tour dates
Youth Code just announced some European tour dates!
- 2nd April: Hus 7, Stockholm (Sweden)
- 3rd April: Cassiopeia, Berlin (Germany)
- 4th April: Slachthuis, Haarlem (Netherlands)
- 5th April: Moth Club, London (United Kingdom)
That's a fair point.
I'm still going to celebrate the gays.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that putting emphasis on the "Gay" description is reductive?
I don't necessarily disagree, but headlines need to be short, capture attention and accurately summarize the content of the article. I think this headline succeeds in all these aspects.
Also it's worth noting that this cruise was chartered by a company that advertises itself as specialising in gay & LGBTQ+ holiday packages. I doubt anyone taking part in this cruise would object to it being described as gay.
To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another historically oppressed group (gay people).
The fact that the rescuers were from a gay cruise doesn't make their actions inherently more special than if they were from any other kind of cruise, but there's an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate in many countries is turning more towards intolerance and oppression of queer people again.
Would you say it's your greatest egret?
Why would the fact that it's gay put a bad light on it?
Hah someone on the post I cross-posted this from said the same thing 😂
Does this mean there might be a possibility of an Excession adaptation if all goes well? 🥹
I'm not sure how you'd go about adapting that, but I love that book so much.
Considering this is a GrapheneOS community I'm assuming OP intends to replace the default OS with that.
Isn't this is exactly the outcome Trump and Musk want though 😕
If these departments can no longer function because there aren't any capable employees it gives Trump's administration the excuse to replace those institutions with new ones that are directly accountable to him.
It's admirable that the people who have resigned did so because they don't want any part in what's happening, but I don't think it counts as uplifting news 😢

Appreciation for Right Where it Belongs
I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for Right Where it Belongs. Lately I've been coming back to With Teeth, and I'm feeling a newly-discovered affection for it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it when I first heard it, and listened to it to death. But it didn't stick with me the way the previous albums had. Or so I thought.
A bit of background: With Teeth came out in 2005, when I was halfway through my first year of university. I'd moved out from home and to a different country to study. I was already a NIN fan, having first bought Things Falling Apart and The Fragile 5 years earlier, and quickly catching up with the discography after that. I loved NIN: I started listening right at the time I was forming my own identity and sense of who I was and wanted to be, and those albums really affected me. I would listen to The Fragile every night as I went to sleep, and it's a testament to that album's layering and composition that I can still find something new in that album, 25 ye
Haha thank you, I hit this when I upgraded today.
Das Experiment.
Genuinely one of the most unsettling films I've ever watched.
I think the majority consensus is that none of the Gospels were written by contemporaries of Jesus, and they were edited and changed up to 200 years after his death.
As someone who loved basketball, I get how this can be frustrating.
All I can offer is that they might find different aspects of the sport fun than you do: for them it might be more about feeding the ball to their friend to reinforce trust and solidarity with them.
I feel like this post might unintentionally become a place for well-meaning weirdos to reach out and introduce themselves to each other 😆
Hi! I'm gid. Nice to meet you, fellow weirdo!
Weirdos will be the most interesting people you meet. They'll introduce you to things you never imagined.
Embrace them.
