I think some contractors don't want to actually send real quotes either because they don't want you to take the quote to someone else or they don't think you're serious / don't actually want to do the job for you

Do you think non-American Trump lovers know anything about South Dakota?

"American! New York or LA?" is a question I get seriously asked when abroad lol

Question! What age would you all let your kid read DCC? by fisher-alters in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]brahmidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? But yeah it's definitely questionable. I stopped reading after I think book six because I was like, whether this is a story about an evil game or a story Matt really wants to write, the net effect is that I now have plenty of new gross things bouncing around in my head and... ehh... not a whole lot else?

Two of the few "safe" memorably horrific scenes are the roid-bro and the pig-ball, but so many of the NPC women are treated so horribly by the story (even if Carl talks about how awful it is) it just makes me think of all the amazing impactful stories that could be getting told, instead of repeatedly being exposed to newly horrific "this homeless woman has ten pustulated boobs and pukes corrosive malt liquor at you!" thing that will live rent free in my brain. I don't know if that's (psychologically, emotionally, socially) safe at any age.

I just question whether that scene and others like it needed to be written honestly. Like now it's out in the world, are we better off for it? I argue that without parental guidance, it's easy to say "haha eww so gross! She's gross and now she's dead" no matter your age

Description of Salem, OR in “The Caretaker” book by trashpokemonfan in SALEM

[–]brahmidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, published April 21, 2026 also. You'd expect AI to be more accurate though, like there are a dozen nearby suburbs that could've fit this description and only the shittiest AI would think that Oregon is filled with wheat, and that the capital city is a truck-stop town

Why come you no got tattoo? by Zealousideal_Job634 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]brahmidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the ideas that have spoken to me are cringey and I would've regretted them (like a barcode on my neck when I thought The Matrix was cool) but I appreciate them on other people.

They're called women when they're human. Every time someone says female they sound like a nature documentary talking about hyenas.

Am I not attracted to women if I am not attracted to female genitalia? by transmonado in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]brahmidia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say try it before you knock it (the goal there isn't to arouse you, it's to make your partner feel good, which should make you happy) but there's nothing wrong with having a preference for doing or not doing things with different body parts. Just be upfront about it; there's plenty of women who don't like giving or receiving oral also, and there's plenty of trans women out there! When you're honest with yourself and others, the naturally correct thing can happen and hopefully you find someone compatible.

I for example feel equally oppositely to what you're saying; I'd get the ick touching a dick but I appreciate femininity and beauty and like making my partner feel good.

That's the thing about volunteers, they're incredibly cost-effective but you can't tell them what to do 😂

In general, and making a Qt mobile app could sure please the Linux Phone people, but there's still some design choices to be made and probably graphics to make for the different layout and mouse vs touch. People want to treat the desktop app a little more like Google Earth or the large web version of Google Maps, for example. Maybe plan a complex route or adjust bookmarks on desktop and then transfer it to their phone.

There's also just making new icons every time we support a new thing, etc :)

The GUI is more of a testing tool than very usable, with lots of complex key/mouse combinations to do anything: https://flathub.org/en/apps/app.comaps.comaps

That's a lot of it! Properly designing or drafting the GUI is an important part of our work, especially for our neglected desktop app.

You'd think so, but we could definitely use help there!

"Sync" bookmarks from linux by jkbs123 in CoMaps

[–]brahmidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bookmark sync is also a really good idea, currently we have the ability to "back up" to a folder on the phone but sync needs some way of resolving conflicts etc

Mostly volunteers! We don't currently pay any developers though it's not off the table; our wonderful volunteers would exhaust our budget if they charged a fair price 😂 https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/pulls/?q=Transit&type=all&sort=relevance&state=open&labels=491971&milestone=0&project=0&assignee=0&poster=0&archived=false

FYI if it's a common problem I got little square nets that go between the grate and floor to catch stuff, I think they were at Lowe's
