  • I’ve honestly never considered using my bank through a mobile browser. Yeah, it I can do that I’d be fine on that front.

    Sniffies is completely dead here, and the dudes that are on it are gross. Grindr isn’t much better, but since everyone’s on it you can occasionally find people who are willing to use protection or hosting someone other than some bushes. I’ll try way droid and see if it works. If it doesn’t, I googled it and it says you can use Grindr from desktop if you pay… I may end up having to do that if I made the switch.

    Which leaves cash app as the biggie. I’ll try waydroid, but if it doesn’t work I’ll probably end up needing to keep android or switching to iOS (I hate iPhones:( ), or maybe even getting a second phone I use exclusively for cash app. No sim, just my wifi hotspot (can you do a wifi hotspot with a Linux phone yet?). In order to prevent overdrafts and accidental charges, I never spend directly from my bank account. I transfer exactly what I’ll need for each purchase to cash app before the transaction and shop like that. Keeps me aware, and no accidental charges or surprises.


  • Help a non-techy out. I’ve fully switched my computers to Linux (fedora workstation, silver blue, and ubuntu). Been Linux only for several years now. Silverblue is probably my favorite. I’m willing to make the switch for my phone, too. But there are a few things I’m pretty reliant on:

    My banking apps, cash app, and, embarrassing as it may be to admit, Grindr.

    Any chance of getting those?

    I mean, I wouldn’t, because he’s way out of my league, and probably straight,and most likely he’s busy right now, or waiting on someone, and the music in here is really loud, so he probably wouldn’t be able to hear me well enough to chat because I’m soft spoken…




  • If you claim you have a religious for needing them back (reunification being pretty common, as in, you need them so you can be buried with them) then they will run their tests, and give them back to you if they’re not a hazard.

    My brother used this to keep his gallbladder, and a friend of a friend kept her foot after diabetes took it. Both examples in Tennessee. I don’t know if it matters which state you’re in, but I’m positive the country would probably make a difference.

    Plus, I think it’s funny the idea of some medical person somewhere trying to square their incredibly narrow view of religion with a trans woman being so devout in their own faith as to be concerned about burial practices potentially decades in the future, given the stereotype that everyone LGBTQ+ is an evil atheist.







  • It’s so wild the wrong ideas that float around about cops and medical personnel. “If you’re a cop you have to tell me” and “if I tell them I did drugs they have to tell the cops”

    I really do tell all the interesting people in my life “tell cops nothing, medics everything” and it’s saved a few butts. My mom is the one who initially told me that. She doesn’t necessarily approve of drug use, but made it clear to us growing up that if we ever did something and had to go to the doctor, we needed to tell them everything, and they would always keep our secret, but always lie about it to the cops if they were involved. I love my mom. Lol. She’s awesome.



  • Not who you asked, but I use podbean and have recently started using antennapod. Both are really good, but antennapod is open source from what I understand, and I’ve been able to find more podcasts on it. Only gripes with it are that you can’t rate the podcasts on it, and you can’t set it play all episodes of a certain podcast automatically. You have to add them to a queue manually and play from the queue. Other than that it’s absolutely fantastic.
