While I do not doubt this happening, nor it being sexist at its core, I find no mention of it on the linked wikipedia article.

EDIT: Ah, it actually links to a now-defunct british spacecentre article in the original TIL with the following quote:

When Svetlana arrived the space station, she was reportedly handed an apron from her male crewmates and jokingly told to get to work in the kitchen. But she’s also described in fond terms the flowers she received upon arrival: “They gallantly presented me with flowers they had grown in orbit and those plain flowers in a transparent box were the dearest present to me. We hugged each other, kissed each other, in a word, our meeting was the usual meeting of friends who had not met for a long time.” After this initial meeting she was quickly able to establish a working, professional relationship with her crew.

and there's an '82 NYT article mentioning it here

Additionally, at least for my use-case btrfs benefits me since it is less picky about drive sizes being the same and duplicating everything correctly - letting you essentially just throw additional storage at it as you acquire it.

Not all notifications go through FCM but all push notifications do as far as I'm aware - which is what the previous comment and the post title are talking about.

It is, in fact, worrying for privacy implications on the one hand and a real monopolizing factor on the other since if you wish to deliver an app which needs to implement such notifications you're using Google's service or constantly drain the user's battery.

There's UnifiedPush which tries to provide an open alternative but so far unfortunately still sees very little adoption.

Thanks for the hint but I am not entirely sure which icon you are referring to unfortunately.

Is it an icon provided by the application? Otherwise, this is an Android phone (LineageOS to be specific) and I am not sure there would be an Apple sharing icon on it.

 

I love using the voyager Android app to get a quick at-a-glance overview of some (mostly tech) news and articles, but would then like to just quickly queue them into my actual read-it-later app (wallabag) for later offline reading.

So is there a way to directly share a post like the picture below without first opening it in the integrated browser and I just have not found it?

a lemmy post opened in voyager for an article called 'Pipewire vs PulseAusio: What is the difference?'

Similarly, if I come across a useful article linked within a comment instead I would like to be able to do the same thing through a context menu.

a lemmy comment containing a link to a webpage blog article

This is less urgent for me however since I can at least use the 'select text' functionality and just copy the text and paste it in the reader app. A little cumbersome but no big deal.

I am using the Voyager Android app 1.39.0 from f-droid repos.

As @[email protected] points out, there's a bunch of players that can scrobble directly to listenbrainz.

But even if you use some player that does not have support for it, you can make any player that can scrobble to last.fm work with listenbrainz instead since they provide a compatible API. This includes even software which officially only supports last.fm by simply changing the scrobble destination it wants to scrobble to in your hosts file.

It really is pretty nice software.

Codeberg the community is very nice with strong focus on the right to privacy and free software, which I feel reflects itself especially in a lot of copylefted projects on the service.

Codeberg the collaboration platform is in my epxerience by the simple fact of critical mass quite a bit less 'collaborative' for many projects. There's a couple projects with tight communities, and a lot of single dev projects with maybe a drive-by PR.

Codeberg the software runs on Gitea (/Forgejo) which is wonderful software - slim, simple enough to get everything done without being in the way.

There's efforts to open up the gitea/forgejo forges to federation, which would be a very neat way to fix the collaboration issue and is - in my view - the way forward for open, decentralized collaborative software creation. It's still quite a ways off (especially from bring mature enough to be used day-to-day) but when it gets there platforms like codeberg will be the first to adopt it and to also benefit massively from it.
