There are plenty of queer 17-year olds like me here, too!

UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

EPQ stands for "Extended Project Qualification", and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

My opinionated list of FOSS applications by hellfire103 in c/foss@beehaw.org

A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don't have a link handy right now.

Am I greyromantic? (sopuli.xyz)

I've been looking around, and I think I may be greyromantic (unless it's just another result of abroromanticism).

Anyway, can a few of you tell me about your own experiences? I want to be sure.

Can we just vote these Tory bastards out already? by hellfire103 in c/memes@sopuli.xyz
[-] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

Yes, but sex and gender are different things. Our government is planning to ban transgender women from female wards, for example.

Where to start with Android TV? (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 1 year ago by hellfire103@sopuli.xyz to c/android@lemmy.world

My uncle recently gave me an old Minix Neo X8-H Plus. It has been upgraded from the stock Android KitKat up to Lollipop, and it has been rooted. I have connected a USB DVD drive, but I haven't tested it yet.

I had Kodi on a RPi for a while, but I am otherwise completely new to this sort of thing.

I couldn't install F-Droid, so I decided to use Aptoide TV instead of Play Store.

So, what should I do with the device? Any app suggestions? Settings I should change?

Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it? by hellfire103 in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

The streaming services have managed to completely forget their business model of being marginally more convenient than piracy.

As for me, though, I'll start ripping my DVDs. I'll sail the high seas when I have to, but I'd may as well get hard copies of my favourite films and TV shows.

Imma just delete the meme I made when he turned it on in the first place. This man is a cunt.

EDIT: Looks like I already did when he did something else stupid.

YouTube alternatives? by hellfire103 in c/foss@beehaw.org
[-] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

I'd go for PeerTube, personally. LBRY/Odysee would also do the trick, but it tends to have a lot of far-right bullshit on it, as well as being built around crypto.
