Recommendations wanted: cross platform relational database app.

I used HandBase for over a decade, starting with my palm pilot! It was a lightweight & powerful, intuitive app that made it easy to create relational databases that could either sync w/Access or its own desktop version.

It hasn't updated in years. Likely abandoned.

Anyone know of a similar product that will sync b/w android & windows?

I loathe software-as-a-service & would rather just pay for a program.

(Boosts welcome!)

@chjara Plural systems seem to be in a similar space as trans people circa 50 years ago (not really visible in society other than as curiosities). Maybe even broader, we could look at the neurodivergent-LGBT analogy.

@robryk I believe you missed the joke, it's not "discontinuous transition", but "my clothes would get wet". :P @imyxh

You’re saying this clock works by attuning to the universal harmony of crystal vibrations? Lol okay 🙄

@nafnlj Thanks for the recommendation, looks good. If disroot doesn't work out this will probably be my next choice.

@szczezuja That's very cool, but definitely not what I'm looking for. :D

(ΦωΦ) [on break from toxicity]

nursery rhyme, death & violence, irrationality of capitalism 

"They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine"

@digdeeper@mastodon.honeypot.im Distroot looks exactly like what I've been looking for, thanks!

It's also a bit amusing (and only slightly annoying) they close registrations for the weekend.

@digdeeper@mastodon.honeypot.im Isn't riseup intended for activists? Unfortunately I don't think I quite qualify if this is the case. >_>

@Zerglingman @digdeeper@mastodon.honeypot.im Ah, "illegal" might have been the wrong word, it's supposedly not in accordance with the TLD terms or something like that, so "illegal in the internet" :P @robryk might know more.

@Zerglingman @digdeeper@mastodon.honeypot.im I actually already have a self-hosted mail, but I don't trust myself or it to work on it reliably. Since I want to switch to something as a primary mail provider I would much prefer for it to be ran by professionals.

Heh, I already had this experience with Freenom. Supposedly what they are doing is illegal, but I'm not motivated enough to do anything about it.

I saw a thread about decent email providers somewhere around here, but I didn't save it and now I cannot find it. :/

Any recommendations for something that lets me use neomutt as a client, will not mine my data, and will not suddenly disappear?

@trinsec Yup! He's six and I'm not sure how well he understands even the concept of puns. Anyway, attempts at jokes are a new thing for him, I hope he will try more.

My son just tried asking me a joke riddle, translated into English from German. As you might expect it was based on a pun. Fortunately, the pun was translatable, unfortunately he's not an experienced translator, so I got "What walks without feet? Water!". So close...

That's exactly why I like looking at random Wikipedia articles.

Someone made an app for blind people to check to see if their face is in the camera view, good for video conferencing. #a11y #accessibility

Apparently using *they* as a singular pronoun (to use instead of *he* and *she*) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular *you* is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! 😂

Oh, this quote's fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

> In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I'd say it's probably safe to use *they* in general. I do use singular *they* regularly and it's the least fuss imo.

how many trans people does it take to change a lightbulb 

one but they have to convince two people with a phd that they’re really sure they don’t wanna live in the dark first

@chjara isn't the problem that if you were to have sex now it would be quite a dysphoric experience?
