  • I mean yeah but after using Bazaar a little more, I realized that it would still have the same issue that I’m having with the website. If there are other apps that show Flathub’s catalog, I’d be interested in trying them but I never found any others last time I looked. As I’ve stated before, I don’t care too much about how it works, I just need to be able to reliably see every app that’s available. At the bare minimum, I’d except something similar to how Droid-ify works for F-droid (a third party app store for android), where I can set it to sort the apps by newest first and then scroll down to the last app I’ve seen and work my way up. It’s tedious but it works.


  • Actually yes, I have it installed already. It unfortunately doesn’t do what I’d need it to. For example, if you go to the games category in Bazaar, it’ll say that there is 701 apps but it only shows 96. But now, if you go to the Flathub website, it’ll also say that there is 701 apps but there are 24 pages with 30 apps each.

    Also, if you are wondering why I’m not just using the website, I’ve mentioned it in the past but I forgot to add to my previous comment. Basically, the issue is that I’d have to go though every page manually and keep a spreadsheet of every app I’ve checked because the order that the apps are listed in changes occasionally.


  • They don’t have to be graphical but there are some things I can think of that I’d really like to have or see improved.

    Some form of an app that will allow me to get the most out of Flathub. I know that I wont use every app that exists on Flathub but I would like to have some app that will allow me to at least see every app that’s available. I don’t care if it’s something as simple as just a list of every app in the order they were added, preferably sorted/sortable by oldest first and multiple pages to make it easier to find where I left off, or if it’s something more intricate, like a full app store experience with an app recommendation system that filters out apps I’ve already interacted with.

    Something will allow me to get better use out of GameFAQs, I was thinking about something similar to Anime Plus but for GameFAQs. If you’re not familiar with Anime Plus, it’s a companion app for My Anime List that creates a temporary profile based on your MAL account and gives you a list of anime/manga that are missing from your account and gives recommendations for new anime/manga. If that’s not possible, similar to Flathub, I don’t care what is made for it. Right now, I’ve been using documents to keep track of everything but I noticed that this isn’t reliable because there is no way to be notified of when new games are added since games are only sorted alphabetically.

    I feel like there are more things but I can’t think of anything else right now.




  • I’m not religious but I’m not against people who are. My only issue is the fact that there are a lot of bad actors when it comes to religion. Churches are a scam and actually go against the Bible. There are so many people who act like they are better than everyone who doesn’t follow the same religion they do, which I think is also goes against the Bible to at least some extent. And then there’s the fact that some religious circles act like cults.




  • Okay, I’ll check that out. Thank you.

    Also, I’ll be fine if I can’t use Ubuntu Touch, but I just don’t want to be locked into exclusively relying on emulators. If what I read is wrong and there actually isn’t a way to run Linux applications on them, then I might have to go with the android based ones.

    I have also heard that some of them come with, or at least you can set them up to have a dual boot between android and Linux. So regardless of whether or not you can actually run Linux applications on them, I can still use android as a backup if needed, assuming that it’s true.


  • I’ve actually been kind of interested in the Anbernic devices, especially because some of them apparently come with Linux. I’ve heard that the Linux distro they use is Batocera, which is just a frontend for emulators, but I have also heard that their devices do support normal distros like Ubuntu Touch. The only reason I haven’t bought one is because they just didn’t seem worth it at the time. It does seem like their hardware has improved since I last checked, so maybe I’ll buy one at some point.


  • Most modern video games. I don’t have the ability to, not only buy games from most digital storefronts, but also buy a device that actually has the specs to run them. And when you take into consideration the fact that most modern games are live service games, that means that I probably wont even be able to play them by the time that I do manage to get a device that could have ran them. It’s difficult to get hyped over a game I know I probably wont be able to play.


  • Here’s the thing, I have no idea what my parents tell the police because, if I try to explain my situation to them, they ignore everything I say and they start speaking louder while acting like their about to pull their guns out on me. I don’t know if they would try to shoot me but I’m not about to find out.

    And as for my sister, I don’t even talk to her anymore. It just seems like she hates me for some reason. For example, the last time I talked to her was when I asked her if I could use her old laptop because it’s been sitting in the basement for several years and I don’t like leaving tech unused if I know I might be able to use it. She never answered my question and just said “Why the fuck do you want that? Get out of my room.”.


  • I’ve previously mentioned that I’m pretty sure I have access to my birth certificate but if you read the list of requirements on the link I gave you, you’ll see that it only covers 3 of the 5 (technically 6) requirements. I do have access to my SSN card but that still leaves the fifth (and sixth) requirement unfulfilled. As for sneaking out, I tried that multiple times over the years and every time I was escorted back home in a police car before I could even get to my destination. I can’t even go to the grocery store on my own without having my parents calling the police on me.

    The main reason why my parents are like this, is because I was diagnosed with autism back in middle school. Ever since then, my parents (and really my entire family) have started treating me differently.

    And it’s like, I’m not even trying to get a job or a bank account. I’m okay with not having them, what my issue is, is that because I’m limited to using “beer money” sites and apps to be able to buy things, I’m very limited as to where and what I can buy. I used to be able to buy pretty much anything I wanted to if I put in the work but then Swagbucks changed their policy so that you now require an ID to do pretty much anything on their website. I still have access to and use InstaGC but there’s only 3 websites that I use and can actually use with the gift cards they offer. I also use Bing but that’s both even more limited and extremely slow to earn enough points to actually buy anything. Every other app/website I know of is either not worth using, a scam or I’m hesitant to use because I’m starting to have trust issues with these websites and apps.

    And seeing that America is slowly turning into a second Nazi Germany, I’m not optimistic for the future of these websites and apps.




  • How do I setup a crypto wallet? The only time I tried crypto was back when I still used the Brave web browser and I wasn’t able to redeem the BAT that I earned without setting up a crypto wallet through a website that required an ID. If it’s just an issue with how Brave handles their crypto currency, I do know of some other sources of crypto that I can try using.



  • No, I haven’t talked to anyone outside of my family since I graduated high school and I have no way to contact any of my other relatives, assuming they would even help.

    As for the documentation, I don’t even know how to obtain some of the required documentation. For example, one of the requirements from what I’ve read, is two documents from different sources that are on an “acceptable document list” proving that I have a street address. I’ve looked at the list and it’s mostly legal documents from sources that I’ve either never heard of or have no legal way of obtaining.
