Any GoogleVoice Replacements?
I’ve recently decided to try and degoogle my life, or at least lessgoogle it. One app I use regularly is GoogleVoice. It works really well to keep my work and personal numbers separated. Also works reasonably well to keep my personal number clean from spam. What is out there that provides similar functionality?

Anyone try Antstream and not have issues?
Just curious. A buddy of mine said he had a lot of lag, and some user reviews have said the same thing. But others have said it works great. I personally haven’t tried it.

[Question] ActivityPub Blogging Platform
Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it...

why are android emulators either nonexistent or utterly useless?
the one thing linux really hasnt been made on par with winblows yet is the dreadful amount of options for android simulation -the most popular choice seems to be Waydroid, but its such an unneeded hassle to set up at all -genymotion is just slow -and than you have things like android x86 which entirely defeat the point of an...

Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?
No, I am serious about this. I wish to get back into the learning of reading, but as a beginner I am repelled by the intense use of vocabulary, literary devices of classical literature books or intense and difficult-to-follow storyline of modern day fiction. I want to read a book that is clearly made with people like me in mind....

Video games with radqueer values?
Whether they’re explicitly radqueer or they just align really well with what radqueer means to you, do you know any games that have that vibe? It’d be nice to play in a world that accepts me and where people being stupid doesn’t hold me back.
What are some games that "spin" failure states?
What I mean by this, is instead of when you fail and are met with a game over, the game finds some way to keep it going. Instead of being forced to reset to a previous save or an autosave checkpoint, the game’s story continues in an interesting path. Are there any games like this?...
