or use one of the buy Canadian apps

Does anyone have a good rec for one that’s not vibecoded slop? A couple months ago I tried a ton of apps & sites, but the info they were giving was so bad & inconsistent & obviously LLM generated.

BankruptTrump was the one that worked best for me (fewest errors… if you ignored checking the reference links) but when it was wrong it was wrong so I’ve pretty much given up.

I just want something human-built that I can contribute to 🥲

Love the energy, but a link obfuscator is exactly the sort of thing that needs to be open source before I feel comfortable using it (regardless of creepiness) xD

I checked all the news sites against mediabiasfactcheck.com, and the only ones (that have results) that don’t reach the highest standard are Canadian Dimension, The Maple (whoops), and Ricochet. Here are the results:

What percentage of the code base is AI generated?

It looks like every image in the promotional material is AI, and that’s enough to make me pass 🤷

I’ll be voting for Davriellelouna in the next election

Excuse me, this is actually esteemed musician Benn Jordan

Finally—my transformation beyond the bounds of flesh is complete!

Just wait until you hear about toonies

Well, some members of F-Droid’s central board resigned nearly a year ago, citing issues that had been ongoing for a long time prior. Statement posted to Gitlab.

I’ve been slowly moving my app installations over to Obtainium ever since, and have been using NeoStore for the remaining F-Droid/Izzy installations.

Honestly, this is the only thing I miss from Reddit.

But the community was so pleasant that it seemed like a fluke it existed at all.

Anyone know if we’ve got some kinda brandless/debadging community in the Fediverse? Seems like the sort of place one would thrive, but finding communities isn’t very straightforward to a newb like me.

Hey, thanks for the super detailed and useful response, Cloaca! My own attempts to deck build seem to be following similar steps, so I’ll definitely be referencing this. The deck snapshots at various points of completion are super helpful. Are those different decks or does TappedOut have a history feature? (That’s something I didn’t know I wanted until now).

Oof if building up is better I’m going to have to completely change the way I go about building decks, as my mindset has been to take the EDHREC “average deck” for a commander/style and think of it as, essentially, a precon that I then modify.

In the 8x8 theory, what does it mean by “choose 8 different kinds of effects you would like to see played”? Scratch that, I’m assuming they mean the card packs that are in the #8x8 tag on the blog. The first page was all Q&A stuff so I missed that

As an extremely casual commander player, I always feel like a noob even though technically I’ve been playing MTG for over half a decade at this point. My commander decks have all been precons and I’ve mostly just got cards through drafting with my friends, but this year I’ve been trying to build my own deck from scratch and it’s… exciting but frustrating.

Does anyone have any tips for taking a (commander) deck from the “theoretical pile of cards” stage to a functioning deck? By that I mean, I’ve done the preliminary research (scryfall searches, EDHREC most used cards for the commander, etc) to find possible cards, and I’ve read some high level theory stuff about deck building (ramping, threats, etc) to categorize my possible cards… But can’t really find any articles/videos showing workflows to actually build the deck.

Currently I’m trying to use tags on Moxfield but it’s mostly a confusing mess as I try to trim down ~200 possibilities into a lean, functioning deck.

Simple Gallery Pro and OsmAnd+ both follow this methodology as well.
