I have one device where I installed the APK straight from Signal themselves. That is the only device where it has updated itself.

My other devices all use the Play version through Aurora Store, and always updates through that.

Maybe there’s a config/setting somewhere?

But also, maybe don’t use F-Droid for apps regarding privacy.

alternative question to ask: is it advertised by an “influencer”? If yes, it’s a scam.

I didn’t work for CVS, just in the same business park.

But yea, especially in Cumberland/Woonsockett it’s a CVS town.

lmao, I can’t believe someone actually beat me to this. I don’t live there now, but used to and worked in Cumberland in that CVS business park. There’s a little pull off spot in there where food trucks setup shop during lunch hour. I’ve never seen such variety in my life!

Also, no taco truck is better than Pollos Locos, especially at 2AM while drunk stumbling out of the Scurvy.

ETA: wait a sec. Jason, DJ, Rhode Island. You don’t work in that same business park, do you?

ETA2: nvm, I stalked your posts a little bit and I very seriously doubt you are who I thought you might be. Weird coincidence, though!

I recommend reading up and learning more about flatpaks and their sandboxing. Flatseal is just a GUI implementation of the flatpak CLI.

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html

You can also very quickly download Flatseal for yourself to put your own eyes on it. Everything is labeled and has tooltips.

Ahh, what about a cross-section of a deepdish? Show the world the sexy bits.

I’d eat it

I dunno, might create some controversy. What are the toppings?

Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.

I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.

In terms of relative geographical location, Canada is infinitely easier for me. These three are on completely different continents.

Canada also has less work permit requirements than any of the three I mentioned. At least in my situation.

Norway has also completely closed their immigration stuff last I checked a few months ago.

Thought that might be where you were headed with it. It’s definitely on my mind, but I mentioned elsewhere that I have a pretty deep personal reason to be close-ish to Washington State.

If I had complete free-choice and the means to go anywhere, it’d be Finland, Norway or Iceland.

Looks like a WikiHow graphic on how to do it, that’s crazy

As in, further north? east? Not CA at all?

Curious what makes you say it in a slightly cryptic way.

Haha, good distinction. There’s “the king of dumping on you” and the “king of fun” kinda snow.

I know Whistler is pretty much THE ski spot in the entire world.

When a lot of Canadians say they hate the US (including myself) we are more so saying that we hate the government

I’m just so used to how the southern confederates act towards things like this. They’ll vilify an entire country like China, and then practically tar and feather any Korean that walks by because of it. Crazy shit.

As for businesses, I have started to use co-op a lot more especially for gas.

Are you speaking of this? https://canada.coop/en/

Looks like they have stuff pretty much all over CA, and even possibly some jobs to look into as well. Thanks for that tip! Co-ops are something I really miss about the western states. They’re practically illegal on the east.

The only issue with Ontario is that I have some personal reasons for wanting to be somewhat close-ish to Washington State. I have considered it, though. I used to work with some devs up there, but my company canned them before I could get transferred…

Which one is the snow king, Ontario or BC?

Yea, the rich folk thing is exactly why I would expect to have issues. They do that to places, New Zealand is another good example. I am definitely not rich, though. Kinda curious, are there “vanlife” type people up there? I live in a RAV4 right now, used to live in a skoolie. I won’t take away any of your houses, I just need a water/food source and maybe a gym.

I like the sound of this Smithers town. And looking at the map, there are a bunch of peaks in the area, definitely my style. Zooming out a bit, it seems that whole general area right there is right up my alley and on a major road.

Thanks for the offer and the infos, I may just hit you up for some more insight at some point! Especially since you’ve sorta done what I want to do, although you had the benefit of being from CA originally.

I’ll do my best to stand next to a crowd of them

Good idea on the fibre map!

I’ve experienced cold-as-shit, but I’m not sure I’ve experienced proper cold yet. Lowest was -8F (-22C) and even then it only lasted for the coldest part of that night and went just above 0F (-17C) as the sun came out.

I lived in Vermont at the time, house was heated by an oil furnace. The furnace died 2 days before this happened and didn’t get replaced until a week after 🥲
