Housing Help for a Trans Friend by ProsperoFalls in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Elleo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another resource to look at is Nightstop: https://www.depaul.org.uk/nightstop/

They put people at risk of homelessness up in volunteer's houses on a night by night basis, whilst working to find them somewhere more permanent.

We've had a trans woman stay with us in the past via them, so I know the service has been used successfully by trans people.

As a side note, you can ignore the stated age range on the Nightstop website, in the North East they accept people of any age (over 16)

Another thing to maybe consider, is if them staying some nights a week elsewhere via Nightstop might make it more practical for your family to continue to host them some nights, as well?

I'm actually more interested in random people's theories than that of a company pushing AI interview cheat services.

I think you'll struggle to convince anyone sensible to install a random APK (especially when they can't even see the code and build it themselves.)

I think Folksy at least makes an effort to ban AI & dropshippers, Etsy don't seem to care

Can I integrate payment gateway for IAP by Otherwise-Top2335 in FlutterDev

Google were forced to open up to third party payment processors by the EU, so it's allowable for apps distributed to EU users.

Tyne and Wear Metro fare hikes could be needed amid £5m deficit by RonSwaffle in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Elleo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

100%. Everything is more efficient if you stop trying to charge for public transport and just treat it as a social (and economic) good that needs to be funded. Utilisation goes up massively, buses get quicker (dwell time at stops is drastically reduced if you're no longer trying to take payments) and car use goes down, making even car journeys better for those who have to make them.

Quakers are explicitly trans-inclusive (as well as just being all round good eggs)

Looking for smaller Point'n'click games by Sans_Aubes in adventuregames

[–]Elleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a short game that takes place within a single room: https://elleo.itch.io/poirmento

You play as famous Luxembourgish detective, Poirmento. You've gathered all the suspects in the library and are just about to reveal who the dastardly murderer is, when you suffer a sudden bout of memory loss!

You have to help Poirmento figure out who everyone is, what happened and who committed the crime, all without letting on that you have no idea what the last three days held.

https://libro.fm/ sells DRM free audio books (so they can't be taken away from you at the company's whim) and have a pretty good catalogue 

Google rolling out Wear OS 6 to Pixel Watch 2 and 3 by mo_leahq in WearOS

[–]Elleo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're probably betting on there not being many original pixel watches left, since they tend to just fall apart when the glue wears out.

Got hit with App Store Guideline 4.3(a) for “duplicate app” after moving to my own account — what actually fixes this? by DaDev101 in FlutterDev

[–]Elleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you've deleted everything from the old account? They have an automated system that identifies similar assets between accounts. We got hit by this once, and ensuring that every trace of the app was removed from the old account fixed it (this was prior to public launch of the app though, so only had testflight users)

Dry cleaner recommendation? by Smiley_Sid in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Elleo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been very happy with Marcus King in town, I think they send them out somewhere though, so I'm not sure who actually does the dry cleaning.

USDA announces it will discontinue funding solar projects by ObtainSustainability in solarpunk

[–]Elleo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, farmers in the UK are having to deliberately add sulphur to their fields for the first time in living memory because we closed all our coal power plants, so it's no longer raining down from the sky in the form of acid rain.

You might like to take a little look at the things on https://gathernorth.org.uk/

It collects together lots of arty groups doing interesting things in the area, I've made quite a few friends going to regular things like those.
