  • Recommend me a LaTeX/TeX live equivalent app for Android

    Jump

  • Joplin is FOSS & supports live LaTeX. The editor is markdown & you use $ for inline LaTeX & $$ for full line.

    They've got both desktop & mobile versions. One of my favorite apps.

  • Is it weird to try to behave perfectly?

    Jump

  • Wow...

  • What was the last skill you learned and how?

    Jump

  • I recently learned to whistle as well! (in my late 30s). I'm bad at it, but finally can make a recognizable tune.

    More recently though I've learned to cut my own hair :)

  • What are the best Halloween-themed music for today?

  • I don't remember all of the details, but I thought it was essentially the water's surface tension that foots the energy bill when climbing a paper towel or a capillary in a tree.

    The surface of fluids like water are unhappy. Molecules on the surface would much rather be deep in the fluid because on the surface they have "dangling" Van der Waals & polar bonds to one side. You can calculate the potential energy of the surface due to all of those dangling weak bonds, & that's the energy that is used to climb a capillary (the energy isn't free).

    I could be misremembering though, I admit. School was many years ago...

  • What are you getting your significant other for Christmas?

    Jump

  • Nice clothes. She likes Free People, Anthropology, & Sundance. I try to choose a dress or jacket or something I think she might like (always get a gift receipt though!)

  • How do adults find happiness in life?

    Jump

  • Small things. Sounds. The temperature of the air. The fact that my side isn't hurting right now. The kids costumes who were just trick or treating at my house.

  • What’s the oldest you can be to go trick and treating?

    Jump

  • I'd rather teenagers be trick or treating than doing other stuff. If they come to my house they'll get candy for sure.

  • Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?

    Jump

  • Putting a wig on my best friend and spooning him while he's asleep.

  • Russia is sanctioned for invading Ukraine.

  • Lemmy 100%?

    Jump

  • If it's a topic I'm super passionate about & there's no community on Lemmy then sure. But I'm not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

  • Lemmy 100%?

    Jump

  • I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • Ugh, you're right! I didn't realize. I'm going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than "Yet Another Call Blocker" anyway.

  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • You're right, I hadn't noticed that.

    Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It'd be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.

  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • It can block hidden numbers, if that's what you mean by "private".

    I hope you like the app!

  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • Yes. Go to settings and toggle the Block hidden numbers option

  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • I use Yet Another Call Blocker. It has a custom block list you can use to block a specific number.

    The block list also supports wildcard characters, which is my favorite feature! I use it to block swaths of numbers (much of my spam comes from the state I used to live in, so I block those area codes).

  • minetest changes name to Luanti

    Jump

  • "Minetest" was a clunky name. Wish they'd have changed the name sooner.

  • Besides bars/clubs/restaurants, where else do you go/do when you want to get out of the house?

    Jump

  • I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time... :(
