HeliBoard has had autocorrect for years. Floris is still ways off.

I believe you can do it from the Aurora Store under Manual Download. But you would have to have bought the app already as you would have to do it having signed on using your own account on it. Since you cannot purchase it via Aurora. I have done this for some icon packs and a few other aoos that already purchased.

Be aware, as I mentioned elsewhere, even if you download it, if the app constantly checks if you bought the app via the Playstore then unless you have the Playstore running and signed on as well, then it will likely fail to load/launch and will tell you that you have not paid for it. Even if you actually have, as it cannot verify it without the PS.

There are someapps that I have purchased, and that I can download but they will not work after they are installed.

Have not used it in a while but there is a fork of Infinity that works on Lemmy, already.

Hope they implement RSS.

Did a bit of a deep dive a few years ago on this topic, there are hundreds of forever chemicals everywhere that Corps either do not share their studies on them, or have not been fully studied in-depth as far as related medium or long term health issues or for safety. So they will lie my omission. A study might read like, "As far as research completed, (next to 0) we have found no likely known ('cause they didn't look hard enough, or for long enough because it is expensive) health risks associated with compound XYZ at minimal or reasonable human exposure." Well, they may not be "lying" if they barely looked, right? Albeit sometimes they will lie, anyways.

It is quite shocking but makes sense when you think some Corps --and the top people within them-- can or will behave like psychopaths in their desire for profit.

They may only do serious studies if people/workers start developing illness or cancer or what not. And this is mostly to figure out their prospects on legal liability, not out the kindness of their hearts. Obviously.

For example:

https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/epa-dupont-settle-and-delay-court-case-over-human-pollution

"The penalty DuPont will reportedly pay for covering up its pollution of newborn American babies with the cancer-causing Teflon chemical will likely be $15 million. This sum amounts to just 8 percent of the maximum allowable fine.

On April 28, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Law Judge Barbara A. Gunning granted EPA and DuPont until August 15 to formally announce their deal. DuPont's indestructible, toxic Teflon chemical is in the blood of over 95 percent of Americans."

People should be outraged. But the average America is completely out of the loop. Their answer when confronted as to why most Americans have Teflon chemicals in their blood was originally that they saw no side effects with that, so too bad, GTFO. No liability on their side, until workers started developing health issues.

Was in the market for a new phone and was thinking of getting the latest Pine phone, and upon research, I found that like others have stated, it is more of a piece of kit to tinker with and not a daily driver. The OS is still being baked and at the current rate it might take a few years before it is as responsive and as useful as Android is day in, and day out. There is just no contest. Which was a bit disappointing as I actually though the OS was far more developed.

I do hope that progress is made, but, if you need a phone that works well, then stick with Android for now. Hardware on latest Pine is better than on the first phone but still Mid, at best, and it is not cheap for the hardware you get.

Are there any other sources that you may know about this? This is a huge claim and one that we would benefit to have more of, as far as it can be backed up from multiple sources.

Anyone have say, video of this?

Edit: Literally, why am I getting downvoted? Because I ask for extra proof for my own sake, which is the reasonable thing to do? Relax. No wonder some people think that some on our side are crazy.

We Went to Greenland to Ask About a Trump Takeover - POLITICO

"U.S. interest in Greenland remained the stuff of private, long-range government planning until news broke in August 2019 that Trump had become preoccupied with the idea of buying the island.

The idea reportedly sprang from a conversation with Estée Lauder heir Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, though a person close to Lauder said that notion of an outright purchase originated elsewhere. “Lauder never said to buy Greenland,” said the person, who was granted anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Instead, the person said, Lauder merely told Trump it was “in our interest to engage more, have deeper ties.”"
