@Swedneck I live in a communist era neighborhood myself, so I know how it is to live there. It's generally great, but the execution of the buildings was rather poor (mine included). Some say it was for the better surveillance of the inhabitants, others say it was just rushed building. Whatever is the case, it's still not pleasant knowing that you risk being heard by all the neighbors when you do the most normal noise.
And I like Russian blocks as well, provided they are those Hruschocskas (or Plattenbeau?) that are 5 storey high or less. We have some as well. The areas they're in is generally really green with tall trees, so it's really pleasant.
We generally use the term "commie block" to describe buildings during that area, but I included buildings raised after the '90s as well because the developers try to eschew regulations when building, so their quality is even poorer sometimes. That's not to mean that all buildings during these times have thin walls or floors either tho.
It's great to hear that the buildings where you live were raised with more attention to details like these though. Probably if I'd visit/live in one a bit I'd change my opinion about our buildings from that time as well. 😁
To each their own. I do hear all sorts of sounds coming from my neighbors in my apartment. From moaning to phone alarm vibrating, sounds of various objects hitting each other, even arguing sometimes.
Not to mention some people open their doors and windows when cooking, allegedly for the draft to get in and get the smell out of the kitchen (don't know why they do this, just open your damn window and that's it). And when the air goes the opposite way, the hallway of the building is a mix of various smells of whatever they cook.
Oh, by the way, did I mention I need to take the elevator to reliably reach my apartment?
@Pantherina they could simply support phones with stock Android and there will probably be less work to do than supporting the broad range of devices that Lineage has.
@drwho yep, that is correct. I also have feeds in all my readers that are displayed completely, while others are just back links to the article in question.
@awmire Friendica supports RSS if you're into that. You might already know it is mostly a Facebook alternative (although it has many more features than Facebook). You can paste the website link into the search bar and it gets the RSS feed for you if it has one.
I do like RSS feed readers that have a magazine view though, so I couldn't really move all my feeds here.
@FragmentedChicken on the bright side, I can't believe where we've gotten to the point where we'll have to deal with "only" 5 years of updates on mobile phones and be unhappy about it.
@Fizz yep, absolutely. Only with an analog camera you can catch the image exactly as it is. Others are just tweaked to be displayed as real as possible.
@FragmentedChicken If you have a device with less than 32 GB of storage, App Archival could do little to help you reclaim space (and I'm telling it from my experience). 60% is too little space saved when you use multiple apps. But otherwise, if you like to download apps because they seem interesting, and then you forget about them, this is a nifty feature indeed.
@ivanafterall the right suggestions.
