I actually see street cleaning teams here in Germany regularly where one person blows the dirt out from bike racks and from under parked cars and the other person sits in the big street sweeper to pick up the dirt. I think this is a very valid use for blowers. The blowers are electric, but I sure would.not mind them a bit more quiet.
The unfun part is when its your personal rights (personally) and you have to discuss them to defend yourself.
Das ist selbst für eine weitergereichte Pressemitteilung kurz...
You need to understand that this is not about sexuality, but about patriarchy. For them sex is about power over women, not about pleasing them. Cunnilingus focuses on female pleasure, which is a problem for this world view. Men unwilling to take part in the oppression of women are seen as "unmanly". This is expressed through the accusation of being "gay".
If you have a play group that likes to draft I would highly recommend building a cube. You can even proxy the whole thing using a basic color printer. ;)
Yes, because the simple suite was sold to some adware company...
In my school years I used to play a casual format with my friends we called „King and Flanks“ (german „König und Flanken“). Here is what I remember rule-wise:
You have two teams of three players each, with one king per team and two flanks (left and right). The each flank can only attack their opposing flank and once that player was dead the enemy king. The king can “send” their creatures through their flanks and can attack with the same abilities as either flank. The players have separate life totals, but share a turn (i.e. have to declare attackers at the same time).
What I am unsure about is how targeting spells and abilities work. Limiting the restrictions to attacking creatures seems unbalanced to me.
The format was a lot of fun, since slow decks can really shine as kings. We never build decks specifically for this format, this might have broken it.
Has anyone ever heard of such a format? What do you think the targeting limitations should be? Can someone point me to a source of this? I could not find anything on the internet.

I think they will migrate everything to fossify. With the gallery this already happened, the SMT Gallery vanished from my phone and the fossify gallery appeared. I guess that’s a good way to go, since for now fossify is just the same thing with a different name.
why do you dislike the name? I like it actually!
I don't think the new owners can just pull it from F-Droid, I hope the F-Droid team has a code backup. I think they will migrate everything to fossify. With the gallery this already happened, the SMT Gallery vanished from my phone and the fossify gallery appeared. I guess that's a good way to go, since for now fossify is just the same thing with a different name.
This one is already available in the official f-droid repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
I just noticed today that i no longer have "Simple Gallery Pro" on my phone. It vanished from f-droid, too: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/
I know Simple Mobile tools have been sold to ZipoApps and their future is unclear, but I did not expect the apps to just disappear on f-droid and my phone!
Do you know of any forks yet?
What would be the closest alternative for the gallery?
Can I expect all my "Simple Mobile Tools" apps to just disappear?
Edit: It seems it F-Droid just automatically upgraded to "Fossify Gallery". It just did not replace the icon shortcut in my launcher. So no vanishing, just a silent replacement. I can live with that :). Thanks for all of your helpful replies.
I mostly agree with your rules, they seem well thought out. I have two objections: Firstly altered versions of AP seems hard to enforce. I think if the versions of AP are compatible enough for federation to work, we should let it run.
Secondly, and more importantly, the part were you want to defederate with servers that do not follow these rules is a really bad idea. If some small instance wants to consume the content from threads, their users may still add content to the fediverse. I think these rules would be a good recommendation for any new server admins and committing to these rules would be a good reason to join a server. But I don't see any reason to turn this into a "you're either with us or against us"-type conflict.
It's not new actually. Maybe revived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
The interesting thing here is: this missleading headline comes from the official state news outlet of Germany...
Here's the thing: people don't make decision based on cost, but on what they feel what the cost is. For example: there are studies showing people underestimate the cost of car ownership by a factor of 2. They typically forget about the loss in value and the repair costs. Parking fees (if taken per occasion) are cost that people actually feel every day, making it more likely that they factor into their decision, maybe even more so than fuel costs.
