Define “a minute”. I normally get things from Usenet within minutes of it finishing airing

It’s very sweet. Gonna through DrunkenSlug in as well. I’ve used geek, eweka, slug, and abnzb. I currently use geek and slug. Eweka is also great, just didn’t re-up. Abnzb is meh.

Quick question, what would federation provide? How would they have anything to do with a search engine?

Do you mean just not centralized/run by big tech? If so, that wouldn’t necessarily be “federated”, but just self hostable. That way you can host it yourself, if you have the know how/equipment, or you can access someone else’s hosted version (probably for a price).

Pedantry*

While I’m all for having local services like search engines. I don’t think we need more “messaging platform” services. At least not new complete platforms. I’d argue something like a Canadian popularized Matrix host or something.

Full disclosure, I’m American but fully support not depending on us. We fucking suck.

GrapheneOS

When I search for it on stock android on my P7, it says it’s in Google Play Services. So my guess is it isn’t part of AOSP, therefore GrapheneOS wouldn’t have it, unless they make their own implementation

Tbf, my building also uses an app for laundry. However they also have a machine in the laundry rooms where you can purchase an NFC payment card and put money on it. So you can use it without the app. Is that not the case with yours? If not, that’s 100% fucked
