I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:
If what they want is the “One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you” style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.
I think you can do that with one of the brushes actually
Pencil icon -> swipe up -> draw mode -> block icon
The one next to it does a blur
I end up using some blog post when that happens because the forums make no sense
Ah any reason why Firefox decided not to include WebSerial?
Maybe you don’t want to buy the Station, or you left it at home. In either event, you can simply plug the iron into your computer and configure it via WebSerial.
You’ll need a browser based on Chrome to pull this trick off, as Mozilla has decided (at least, for now) to not include the capability in Firefox. In testing, it worked perfectly on both my Linux desktop and Chromebook.
Unfortunately, plugging the iron into your phone won’t work, as the mobile version of Chrome does not currently support WebSerial. But given the vertical layout of the interface and the big touch-friendly buttons, I can only assume that iFixit is either banking on this changing soon or has a workaround in mind. Being able to plug the iron into your phone for a quick settings tweak would be incredibly handy, so hopefully it will happen one way or another.
The WebSerial interface not only gives you access to all the same settings as plugging the iron into the Power Station does, but it also serves as the mechanism for updating the firmware on the iron.
I was looking for something similar a while back. This one looked promising, could you try it and see how it goes?

Medication and exercise might need to be separate from this
How are you finding Anytype?
I tried moving to it recently but eventually gave up because of how complicated it got. Vikunja was on my list of things to try. I still haven’t found something I like.
Appflowy was next on my list to try. It seems to have matured a lot since I last checked
Sounds like a common issue then
Edit:
It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case
I was looking for it myself, it’s in the works!

It looks like my area/city has GTFS support, so it should work once implemented. You could check the list for your location too
If you are still experiencing issues, consider using Organic Maps in the meantime. It works just as well as Google Maps for a lot of tasks, and it uses OSM data
If you want to help update the data, see this other app StreetComplete
1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.
Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of “content” that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn’t a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.
I’ve mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.
Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don’t have an incentive to stop it.
2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.
Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.
Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.
It’ll be an arm’s race, but it wouldn’t be impossible.
An older but related article:
What is something Linux related that you’ve learned recently?
As a meta question, could this work as an additional (or alternate) recurring discussion question? It felt similar in intent, to encourage people to keep learning / asking questions and chances are that if someone learned something then others will benefit from the information (or correct them)
Did you use Twitter much before then? Some people just don’t like the format. I use it to get updates on some things, but I don’t use it as much as Lemmy (or Reddit before that).
If you did use Twitter, perhaps the content you followed back then still didn’t make its way to Mastodon (or it went to bluesky/threads?)
Last thing you could try is following more people. I find that fediverse platforms need you to seek out content more actively, while old profit driven social media platforms were constantly seeking engagement. On top of that there just isn’t as much content on any of the new platforms compared to the older ones.
That all being said, the quality of the content is equal or better every time
The bit in the square brackets in the title was mine, because that’s what I went into the article to look for. If you’re on Mastodon and interested in that content:
The text from the article:
Glaciologist Ruth Mottram had more than 10,000 followers on Twitter but left in February and joined an alternative scientists’ forum powered by Mastodon -– a crowdfunded, decentralised grouping of social networks founded in 2016.
“It’s really been a revelation in many ways. It’s a much quieter and more thoughtful platform,” she told AFP.
On Mastodon, “I haven’t had any abuse at all or even people questioning climate change. I think we’d become far too used to it on Twitter… I had blocked loads of accounts over on the birdsite (Twitter),” she said.
Breezy Weather is FOSS and it seems to have that! I see it listed in the settings under Hourly Trends, although it isn’t displaying on my homescreen even after I enable it. It’s possible my data source doesn’t include that or something similar. Give it a try?

edit: this issue makes me think that hourly UV does exist
Today Weather is not FOSS, but it almost meets your requirements:
Another term I seen in the context of healthcare is alert fatigue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue
Alarm fatigue or alert fatigue describes how busy workers (in the case of health care, clinicians) become desensitized to safety alerts, and as a result ignore or fail to respond appropriately to such warnings.[1] Alarm fatigue occurs in many fields, including construction[2] and mining[3] (where vehicle back-up alarms sound so frequently that they often become senseless background noise), healthcare[4] (where electronic monitors tracking clinical information such as vital signs and blood glucose sound alarms so frequently, and often for such minor reasons, that they lose the urgency and attention-grabbing power which they are intended to have), and the nuclear power field. Like crying wolf, such false alarms rob the critical alarms of the importance they deserve. Alarm management and policy are critical to prevent alarm fatigue.
While cool, this article is a bit old

No problem with sharing it again, this is more for anyone else who was wondering if new details were released

From the last paragraph, it sounds like the intent is to make it easier to switch devices and services, which would be great
