I wish they would apply the same rule to cigarette smoking. So much dangerous smoke and trash everywhere you go.

The only thing I could find on F-droid was "LoopBoard" which seems to no longer be receiving updates.

This was my most played game for quite aong time. I can't believe all of the content that was added since I gave up trying to win with 5 boss cells. Maybe its time to try again...

I still love my fairphone 3+. Had it for several years and have yet to need to do any repair or replacement. Pleasantly surprised and impressed! I also love that I can easily put a different OS on the phone (currently using e/os).

I don't known if you've been paying attention to the SAG strike, but it's been really eye opening for me! Of course it sucks to pay 10$ for an autograph from a millionaire, but I wouldn't assume to know how much they all actually make from acting gigs.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? (feddit.de)
 

Hey Folks!

I've been living abroad for over half my life in a country where tipping is not the norm. At most you would round up. 19€ bill? Here's a 20, keep this change.

Going to the US soon to visit family and the whole idea of tipping makes me nervous. It seems there's a lot of discussion about getting rid of tipping, but I don't know how much has changed in this regard.

The system seems ridiculously unfair, and that extra expense in a country where everything is already so expensive really makes a difference.

So will AITA if I don't tip? Is it really my personal responsibility to make sure my server is paid enough?

Alternative to Z-library? (feddit.de)
 

To be clear, I have no problem buying ebooks and do so quite often. But where I live its often hard to find ebooks in my preferred language without resorting to Am*zon, especially when it comes to the more obscure titles.

Now that Zlibrary is gone, where do people go for liberated ebooks?

My latest FO (feddit.de)
 

This darn blanket took me a whole year to knit! Not because it was so hard, or big, or that I knit so slowly. I have a small child myself and my knitting time is almost non existent! Most of this was done backstage at one music event or another (my job) .

The pattern is "Radiating Star Blanket" (free pattern!) by Alexis Layton. I don't remember what the yarn was because I bought it so long ago!

Introducing myself (knitty.com)
 

Hey folks! Instead of missing my niche communities on Reddit, I decided to try my hand at creating a community here on Lemmy.

I've been knitting for around 20 years and have even published a few of my original patterns. The first pattern I ever published got picked up by Knitty, which was quite a big deal for me back then. I published a few patterns afterwards, but my designing muse has been dormant for a while. I have several original designs which I've never published and I'm hoping to put them up on Ravelry one day.

But in general, I just wanted to start a knitting community here in the hopes that others will join and share their work, ask for advice, and just geek out about knitting in general.

If you don't have any current work to post, just introduce yourself. Lets start this community together!
