I think you can do that with one of the brushes actually
Pencil icon -> swipe up -> draw mode -> block icon
The one next to it does a blur
I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Ah any reason why Firefox decided not to include WebSerial?
Maybe you don’t want to buy the Station, or you left it at home. In either event, you can simply plug the iron into your computer and configure it via WebSerial.
You’ll need a browser based on Chrome to pull this trick off, as Mozilla has decided (at least, for now) to not include the capability in Firefox. In testing, it worked perfectly on both my Linux desktop and Chromebook.
Unfortunately, plugging the iron into your phone won’t work, as the mobile version of Chrome does not currently support WebSerial. But given the vertical layout of the interface and the big touch-friendly buttons, I can only assume that iFixit is either banking on this changing soon or has a workaround in mind. Being able to plug the iron into your phone for a quick settings tweak would be incredibly handy, so hopefully it will happen one way or another.
The WebSerial interface not only gives you access to all the same settings as plugging the iron into the Power Station does, but it also serves as the mechanism for updating the firmware on the iron.
Unfortunately that seems to be the case for a handful of Foss apps. Fdroid might not be a priority for them yet
I found this
they seem to be leaning into the AI stuff, anyone try it out recently?
Sounds like a common issue then
Edit:
I was looking for it myself, it’s in the works!

It looks like my area/city has GTFS support, so it should work once implemented. You could check the list for your location too
If you are still experiencing issues, consider using Organic Maps in the meantime. It works just as well as Google Maps for a lot of tasks, and it uses OSM data
If you want to help update the data, see this other app StreetComplete
1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.
Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of “content” that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn’t a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.
I’ve mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.
Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don’t have an incentive to stop it.
2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.
Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.
Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.
It’ll be an arm’s race, but it wouldn’t be impossible.
An older but related article:
I think the description makes it even better lol

Did you use Twitter much before then? Some people just don’t like the format. I use it to get updates on some things, but I don’t use it as much as Lemmy (or Reddit before that).
If you did use Twitter, perhaps the content you followed back then still didn’t make its way to Mastodon (or it went to bluesky/threads?)
Last thing you could try is following more people. I find that fediverse platforms need you to seek out content more actively, while old profit driven social media platforms were constantly seeking engagement. On top of that there just isn’t as much content on any of the new platforms compared to the older ones.
That all being said, the quality of the content is equal or better every time
The bit in the square brackets in the title was mine, because that’s what I went into the article to look for. If you’re on Mastodon and interested in that content:
The text from the article:
Glaciologist Ruth Mottram had more than 10,000 followers on Twitter but left in February and joined an alternative scientists’ forum powered by Mastodon -– a crowdfunded, decentralised grouping of social networks founded in 2016.
“It’s really been a revelation in many ways. It’s a much quieter and more thoughtful platform,” she told AFP.
On Mastodon, “I haven’t had any abuse at all or even people questioning climate change. I think we’d become far too used to it on Twitter… I had blocked loads of accounts over on the birdsite (Twitter),” she said.
Also a good point, for example the extended release type pills
There’s also the pill crusher + jam/jelly/applesauce method.

Breezy Weather is FOSS and it seems to have that! I see it listed in the settings under Hourly Trends
, although it isn’t displaying on my homescreen even after I enable it. It’s possible my data source doesn’t include that or something similar. Give it a try?

edit: this issue makes me think that hourly UV does exist
Today Weather is not FOSS, but it almost meets your requirements:
I don’t have anything to add because that sums up my thoughts as well
I might skip the first episode on future rewatches, but the other two were fun
Another term I seen in the context of healthcare is alert fatigue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue
Alarm fatigue or alert fatigue describes how busy workers (in the case of health care, clinicians) become desensitized to safety alerts, and as a result ignore or fail to respond appropriately to such warnings.[1] Alarm fatigue occurs in many fields, including construction[2] and mining[3] (where vehicle back-up alarms sound so frequently that they often become senseless background noise), healthcare[4] (where electronic monitors tracking clinical information such as vital signs and blood glucose sound alarms so frequently, and often for such minor reasons, that they lose the urgency and attention-grabbing power which they are intended to have), and the nuclear power field. Like crying wolf, such false alarms rob the critical alarms of the importance they deserve. Alarm management and policy are critical to prevent alarm fatigue.
While cool, this article is a bit old

No problem with sharing it again, this is more for anyone else who was wondering if new details were released
We get posts here too, and on Reddit
The posts here get reported and removed very quickly, sometimes within minutes of the account being created or the first post.
I searched Reddit for the website they were linking and saw the spam posts on Reddit have been up for months.
Few possible differences:
We have a better ratio of users/moderation, where the lower volume of posts means everything can go through human moderators
Our users are more actively trying to keep the platform good by reporting spam
The incentive here is to create a good online platform. The inventive there is profit. The priorities are different as a result
For anyone that has friends that can be convinced to move off snapchat:
If what they want is the “One weird trick your doctor is hiding from you” style content on the discover page, then I got nothing.
