V8.0 needed?

Any idea how make app apps run if they really don't need a high Android version?

*Lots of good things getting out of reach* for old enthusiasts or recyclers...

Seems this could be lower as a requirement and how to do this for many apps (if not check them first)?

Evil Catholics 

A catholic group spent millions on app data that tracked gay priests, and handed the data to church officials. This shows how anybody can buy and misuse commercially available data. And how important privacy is.

If you want to talk to someone on Mastodon without giving them your phone number, you might want to look at Timurs Web Call, which now supports calls using your (and their) Mastodon account names. It also supports Mastodon notification when someone calls.

HELP with MAPS ONLINE...

openstreetmap.org / osm.org

WHERE IS: "ADD A STOP HERE" or similar ?

Try see if you add more than 2 map points!

I have 2 but don't see how to add in a stop in the middle or after a stop...

I hope I'm being stupid!

A better link of same video page but filtering out the adverts and tracking by standard Google Youtube link page...
Use yewtu.be instead...

(about FACIAL RECOGNITION... Facebook... META Etc...)

Facebook...FACE...BOOK.... now META (how much clearer can functional names and the obvious dangers get?) 

@maxkennerly

To the original post, yes but also the stupids who do or don't realise they are uploading to an American company...with all its news and general question narks... uploading or using it with much of their details and life...

and probably they accept it or complain when obviously it's called FACE...BOOK (shock horror if you couldn't see its many meanings until now) or you take candy too easy and complain when your teeth rot.

When FB started people would never have opened the door physically to their house to a person offering them FB... but computers or friends (and yes terms and conditions with a tickbox) have done wonders to get people doing it themselves for some short-term gains but forever long-term bigger dangers...

But it gets better with the new name for FB... .... META... Just genius as a shortest coldest lethal name... or is it still fun with cat pictures and friends... like innocent things right?

Write a paper letter if you can afford the stamp. When we successfully challenged the 2015 VATMOSS system seasoned campaigners said sending paper letters to relevant govt depts was the most useful thing supporters could do. Legally, letters must be opened, logged, filed. Sacks of mail make an impact.

Artists love when you buy our stuff (😜 ) But you can still support artists for FREE. Every little bit helps. Even if you are not a position to buy maybe your actions will bring it to the attention of someone who can. Or when you ARE in a position, you will think of the artist you helped.

@PawelK Oh no! Surely it has got that far down in ethics and just a broken link as usual in these things? :)

@MikeMorris Seek and you shall find... again.

A good one is losing keys in forest and convincing friend to do walk again who totally didnt want and sun was going down... but after convincing we do a quick search we found it by a tree whilst walking it again half way... probably easier motivation when it's not your own keys! A 'measured' search can help try a bit!!

Do you ever secretly wonder if the real reason British cooking is so terrible is because so many Brits seem to genuinely love the taste of boot?

"The blind leading the blind".. looking too much at the wrong things... 

@amerika @skyblond <---- well said skyblond.

To add to that it's not suprising when it's
"The blind leading the blind"...

...People looking too much at the wrong things. (Deliberately.)

Also see my 'media' tab on my profile page for business and matrix related pics describing similar with pics...

Basically i often show more of this hierarchical cspitalistic etc focus which is like deliberate blindness ----- cutting the caring intelligence out of "jobs" to have a matrix type focus and design as part of overall plan of extraction...

Streaming music in Fediverse? (Streaming is bad?/intensive?) 

@adiz @itsfoss Thanks for clarification.
If I still get it right (or clarify please again) then this streaming type of stuff (for music) probably still enters my mental borders of 'excessive usage' of computing even though 128kb/s is much more possible now but still just seems to extended a somewhat a bourgeois extention of what we all have good already locally for music but try test and tip the boat in wanting extra extra comfortability... unless it's really unique stuff on fediverse.

And so we probably will overload things again like on (y)our phone as we do everywhere ( local space and remote ) and prefer we see real cost.

So 'local' being best for playing (or YTb play list or 0 streaming) is much nicer to the computing world also...therefore by extension to the planetary world nicer... If we want to include that almost each time (and management more compulsory with local file space)
(Not deliberately if this sounds harsh for why to stream common music) doing / considering things.

I'd accept streaming for special event or specialised uses but for dumping packets all the time and for streaming standard copyright or commercial content (without real interaction or freedom-loving content) then it's unworthy in my view compared to costs (from processor usage, heat generation, fediverse and all parts that = streaming... which is perhaps not to much for few people but fediverse gets out if hand even if you pay for it yourself... I'd reserve some exceptiona for almost half CD quality or mp3 microphone quality dj talk (64kb/s) and music samples to promote drm-free music clips for example... but more is almost criminal (even if you can or have hardware I still see the costs)

The examples i give might be bad but I'd like to hear more about the content and why not to consider my points. Thanks (will edit post if re-reading it I can adjust something).

I considered if people deleted their local music files, for example, to compensated but still I trust us all to just copy everything online also and never stream / shut down the $ervers regularly etc.

So happy to hear more... For you specifically perhaps to narrow it a bit.
