   Ooh, this isn't good. If the maintainer's reason for discontinuing it is purely practical stuff relating to Google Play (as the README suggests), then Syncthing-Fork should be ok as the developer there ditched Google Play releases some time back.

     #syncthing for #android was discontinued...

     anyone know of a replacement? i'm curious if syncthing-fork will cease to function after this one is gone.

     I see the confusion... the Fresh Ubuntu Podcast was a different thing altogether, totally unrelated to the Ubuntu Podcast (or, as it was known then, the Ubuntu UK Podcast).

     Harlem Quijano and Peter Nikolaidis were the hosts.

     Great show it was.

    While I was at #OggCamp2024 last weekend I realised how heavy and cumbersome my laptop is. It's powerful, a full desktop replacement, but man it weighs a ton. I left it in the hotel room a lot.

    So, I took an executive decision and ordered myself a Lenovo Duet 3. It's a chromebook but I intend to hack it and have seen good reports of Ubuntu and other things running on it. I also needed a new tablet as my Pixel C is 8 years old. 2 birds > 1 stone I guess. Not sure about ChromeOS though.

      Interesting about the Pixel C... I bought one of those in early 2016, absolutely loved it! However, I replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy S Tab in 2019 due to a hardware fault that effectively rendered the device unusable. I have just treated myself to a new one for half the price that the equivalent current Samsung one would have costed: the OnePlus Pad 2. Really pleased with it.

    That means we are heading into the studio to record this week's @thebugcast
    Was easy to find tracks after a week off.
    I'm sure we will mention #oggcamp2024 and why Christopher Chope is a dinosaur... Amongst other things and playing fabulous music 👍

    Esta semana escuché a uno de mis alumnos mencionarle a sus compañeros la glaciación de 2030. Así es como en último término llega la ciencia a la gente, a golpe de acción hollywoodiense y de titular de pseudo medio digital ;)

    Por supuesto, esa creencia viene de noticias sobre la detención de la corriente del Golfo, confundida todo el tiempo con #AMOC, que no es tanto una corriente como un flujo contabilizado por una función matemática en un determinado paralelo, habitualmente el 26ºN

      @thelovebug Having read some posts on the Fediverse this morning, I'm not sure my style is what people want anymore. I can't see me doing a Podcast again where I'm not allowed to use #swearing

    After making breakfast earlier I saw @Moosical watching Married At First Sight UK, on colleague recommendation.

    I've always felt that these forced-reality shows are vapid, shallow, and dangerous. Any event, televisual or otherwise, that requires a psychologist on standby is a huge red flag. Case in point is The Jeremy Kyle Show - no fault was found with the show, but it highlighted so much toxicity within the format.

    This is your reminder...

    There is no algorithm that brings posts to your timeline. The only posts you will see under your Home tab will be either people that you follow, or the boosts from people that you follow.

    BOOSTING IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF MASTODON.

    If you read something that is interesting, funny, thought provoking, news worthy, or beautiful, then BOOST IT.

    Hitting "Favorite" lets the poster know that you liked it BUT IT DOESN'T LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW.

    Keep Mastodon alive. BOOST.
