Yep, I searched for "Safe Place" as was originally in your comment and found "Safe Space" seconds later, which I assumed what you were referring to

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for, ty!

 

Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.

I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it's not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.

I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.

UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @[email protected], will provide a review of the app later

same (In addition, I'm a foreigner). It was already bad, but it sure as hell is getting worse by the day. They also feel entitled to move around the world freely but at the same time talk about how immigrants are problematic, not "integrating into our culture properly" and chant shit like "Polska dla Polaków".

Their Facebook group:

PATROL OBYWATELSKI POLSKA

Their Projection of White Insecurity Cultural Department ™ :

 

This comes as a result of a scuffle between South Americans and Poles, with two ending up hospitalized in Śrem. Followed by this, stupid questions like "Have open borders brought gang violence to Poland all the way from South America?" (Blood) are seriously being asked and discussed.

Pictures of the situation's aftermath: Atak ostrym przedmiotem na śremskiej plaży. Są poważnie ranni [AKTUALIZACJA] (CW: Blood, albeit censored)

Latest statement the Śrem Police, Google Translated:

Yesterday, September 7, just after At 11 p.m., the Śrem Police officer on duty was notified about a fight that took place on the beach at Lake Grzymisławskie in Śrem. Police investigations into this matter were and are currently ongoing throughout the night. The police are explaining the situation and determining the course of the event in which several people took part. Two men, residents of Śrem, were taken to hospital with injuries. The police detained four men as suspects of involvement in the fight. One of these men is an Argentine national and three are Colombian nationals. They were all taken to police custody. Today, at 09.40, policemen from the Śrem Implementation Group detained a fifth man as a person suspected of participating in a fight. He is also a Colombian citizen. This man was also taken into police custody , said the deputy inspector in the morning. Kasińska.

To no one's surprise, this is a clear-cut scapegoating of all immigrants for the actions of a few, looking for any excuse to wage racist, xenophobic actions on less than 3.69% of the population of Poland.

Nationalities outside of Europe are so small, they are all relegated to the "other" row on the census .-.

Proponents of these lynch mobs will say that the data above may be a bit outdated, since there's been a bump-up on the non-Poles population (as if it justifies the proliferation of these mobs), but will omit the fact that after 2021, most of them come from Ukraine.. So that still doesn't change much of anything.

Citizen patrol scheduled in Warsaw @ 21 September:

Citizen patrol planned in Katowice from 20-22nd September:

The patrol policy:

The patrol will supposedly be followed by police monitoring, as if that'd make it any better.

Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn't get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.

Here's an archived link, not sure if that helps: https://archive.is/qHSPD

I was just scrolling through my youtube recommendations out of boredom and then suddenly, out of thin air, youtube's algo comes in with a rare W: The Geoguessr World Cup 2024. This is the sort of entertainment I didn't know I wanted lol.

I only managed to start watching when the semi-finals were happening and my god, it was way too thrilling than I expected it to be.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly, the prerequisite for a video game to be a "runaway success" is to do well sales-wise in the west? Why is the source of sales that important when the article mainly praises and discusses the game's launch figures, behind-the-scenes, the studio's lore, etc.... like any other video game articles do? The author isn't suggesting the sales are doing well in the west, so what warrants discussion of the games' sales in the west in the first place?

The article's headline alone says it's "One of the Fastest Selling Games In History". If we take the revenue value in the article to be true ($852 million in revenue in 2 weeks), then it beats Elden Ring by around a $100 million, give or take, in the first 2-week period (I'm assuming each copy costed 59.99$, so 12 million copies roughly translates to $720 million in revenue, since actual figures were never revealed, I think).

The article also states that it sold 10 million units in the first week, oh wait actually, that's 10 million in 3 days, beating other games that took at least a month to reach a similar milestone.

love how commenters around here haven't wasted any time to downplay the success and zeitgeist surrounding this game.

what blind "brand loyalty" to Apple and sinking cost fallacy combined looks like:

what sanctions does to a mfer 🤣

 

Lol. Sales stats for the iPhone 16 and Pro aren't out yet, or at least I couldn't find any. Will update this post once the numbers are out.

Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end.

What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?

 

Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

 
 

not sure which community to post this to but... this is my personal account on one of the many EU countries that are experiencing a lovely housing crisis.

 

Dramatic title but w/e :P
