Remove "Demo" from application name (#3362) Β· Ivy-Apps/ivy-wallet@3c74588
The new name reflects the full-featured nature of the application Verified that the application name displays correctly in the Android app drawer after installation.GitHub
@triskelion I'm no Android dev either, but that would change the app name shown to drop the "Demo".
But before I give you false hope there, I'v just looked into the latest release: wouldn't be welcome at IoD, sorry. Comes with Crashlytics, Firebase, GMS etc β so too many proprietary components. Also, why would a wallet app need your location? The app description gives no clue (but speaks of "privacy"). Draw your own conclusions, and I might be wrong to call that "a bit risky"β¦

If you find yourself wondering why your feed on Mastodon is incredibly hostile or toxic, spend a few minutes going through the worst offending posts and see who's posting or boosting them.
I did this and discovered that the worst offenders were a small handful of accounts that were constantly boosting or posting very negative stuff. Once they were removed from my feed (it was like only like three or four accounts), everything improved dramatically.

This morning, at age 26, after having spent far too much of my childhood hearing the song, I realized the lyrics in Nickelback's 'Rockstar' were
"And a big black jet with a bedroom in it,
As opposed to: "And a big black chair with a bedroom in it".
Yeah a lot of things make more sense now.
Still kinda want a chair with an extra-dimensional bedroom inside of it, though.
WHY ENGLISH IS SO HARD
The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into the sewer.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
After a number of injections my jaw got number.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
ICYMI, I moved over to @Nolan Darilek a bit ago as a test. venera.social had been struggling a bit, didn't ever notify me when I got new followers, and after my foray with firefish.social and its implosion, I was a bit nervous about where to host my fediverse presence.
gts.thewordnerd.info is a GotoSocial instance I'm hosting on fly.io and it's been incredibly stable. I think I'm switching permanently, but because Friendica doesn't support account migration to non-Friendica, I've had to sort of hack it a bit. I think I successfully followed everyone I follow here, but figured I'd send one last message out here to let folks know.
Don't want to say I'll never post here again--I guess there's the outside possibility my new setup will implode in a way I can't anticipate--but right now it's working and is where I am. Not posting there very often, but hopefully I'll start up again now that I can count on it working like it should.

Imane Khelif is a cis woman, she has experienced 9 losses against other women in her career, including the 2020 Olympics where she lost against Irish participant Kellie Harrington. Yet, the usual transphobes are currently unleashing a vile attack against her, misgendering her, accusing her of being a man competing unfairly and having some sort of advantage against her fellow athletes, all because she doesn't fit their incredibly limited norm of how a woman should look.
Suddenly, people who never cared or know much about the sport are very interested in women's boxing, and found a scapegoat in her in order to spread their disinformation. Khelif is currently receiving more vitriol than convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde who was still allowed to compete.
This is basically yet another reminder that it was never about genuinely caring for the safety of women. Transphobia is dangerous for everyone, *including* us cis women, and that the links between TERF ideology and white supremacy are very real. Feminism isn't feminism if it's not intersectional.

Lin Yu-ting originally got into boxing wanting to protect her mother from domestic violence, which clearly shows that she has experienced domestic abuse first hand.
Imane Khelif grew up in poverty, she started boxing when she became good at dodging the physical attacks of boys in her village, traveled 10km to train, and had to work to pay for her own bus fare, as her father didn't approve of boxing for girls. An experience that a lot of girls who grew up having so-called "tomboy" interests are probably familiar with. I know I am. She has recently become a UNICEF ambassador, aiming to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams. (unicef.org/algeria/en/stories/β¦)
Not that the transphobia and clear racist undertones of attacking these two women, despite the fact that they are both cis, aren't horrible enough, but there's something particularly sinister and cruel in the fact that the people who decided to paint them as villains and keep circulating disinformation about both, claim to act in the name of ending violence against women and protecting women's rights.

in reply to Tusky • • •thanks. I found it had already been reported on GH and the workaround proposed there to filter all notifications out and then restore the selection worked for me, so as bugs go this isn't even that bad
Thanks a lot for all your excellent work.
