  • Seriously, for that price you could eat real foodlike substances, perhaps even something that was in the ground more recently than it was in a factory.

    Gotta disagree with the “no one will pay for it” part of your comment though. People can’t get enough of anything that’s bad for them! Most of them will sit there in their micro plastic shedding clothes, not getting exercise, under a UV light, smoking a cigarette while drinking alcohol and downing Tylenol and Advil by the bottle, while blasting their eyeballs with blue light and huffing VOCs before they ever touch a raddish.






  • You already received a reply to this, but I recently had both installed and also recently reviewed my apps to uninstall duplicate-purpose apps.

    KOreader looks like what comes on a Kindle, Nook, etc. I have it loaded on an old Kindle 4th Generation I inherited from my Grandpa. If you like eBook readers, this one is for you. Librera is for people who are Android users, especially those who download and store books on their devices. It follows more typical Android design conventions and functions more like a full eBook suite vs a reader tool.

    I think I’m going to go with KOreader for my uses, but have immense admiration for the developers of both.





  • Private owners and small businesses still get to have principles or choose to do things the right way. For all its faults, Steam is often talked about in this way. Corporations on the other hand have to view every square of toilet paper through the lens of profit and loss on the timescale of a single fiscal year or even a single quarter. I often wonder if it is even ethical to invest because doing so profitably seems to inherently feed this system of economic cannibalism.

    We are incentivising companies to find the maximum spread between their expenses and their revenue at any cost and we are arming them with the tools and data to ruthlessly pursue this goal. You WILL be monetized. A scam is the most lucrative business of all because it only takes into account the benefit of one party. No wonder almost every brand name now days carries the reputation of a used tissue. They’re just taking the whole pie because the middle class isn’t needed anymore. It served its purpose by distracting Americans from some of the “communist” ideas happening at home and elsewhere in the world in the 70’s. That’s not needed anymore because they’re projecting power through surveillance and social influencing instead.

    I’d rather see everyone share and contribute to open-source code that moves all of humanity forward than private companies stealing other peoples work because they don’t want to share credit.







  • Thanks for the reply. I have Vikjuna running and it’s honestly pretty similar to TickTick.

    The mobile site works great as a PWA and I grabbed the app just to see what they where working on. PWA is great, app is still very much WIP, but not a deal-breaker at all.

    I do have one workflow that seems to clash. Perhaps you folks can help me logic something together:

    I have a family member who is very list-adverse. They get upset and stressed out with due dates, and missed deadlines, and competing priorities. I still need them to help with chores. I was wondering if there was a way to have tasks in a project regenerate themselves when they are marked complete with a start date x days into the future. The basic idea is that instead of seeing “You didn’t clean the toilet on 1-June-2026.” they would see something like “Clean toilet, task created 10 days ago (with no due date).” Planka showed the number of days since a card was created in the bottom right of the card but didn’t support recurrence (and didn’t appear to be fully FOSS despite being self-hosted). Ideally, someone could go to look at the tasks and instead of seeing “You should have cleaned the sink on 2-JUNE you failure,” they could instead just see all the chores on cards with a number showing how long they’ve been sitting without being done. Know anything like that?
