Sylvia<p>Hey <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/fedihelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fedihelp</span></a>,</p><p>I'm struggling with an <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/widget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>widget</span></a> issue, and I was wondering if anyone had any clue.</p><p>Basically: I have a widget with a grid of items. I want the items in the grid to stick to a certain aspect ratio, regardless of the widget width. The height should dynamically adjust so it always stays that aspect ratio. Normally I would use a ConstraintLayout, but that doesn't seem supported on widgets and I cannot find any good alternative.</p><p>Code here: <a href="https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/pull/2566" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro</span><span class="invisible">id/pull/2566</span></a></p><p>Thank you!</p>

Mir ist der Deckel vom Waschmittel (so ein kleiner von einem Nachfüllpack) in die Schublade der Waschmaschine gefallen und von da weiter in die Tiefen des Geräts gekullert. Was mach ich denn jetzt?

Michael Strasser<p>One project I want to work on When I Have More Time™ is to research the records about my grandfather, John Borland Cumming (1891–1976), who was Australian director of food and petrol rationing between 1942 and 1946 (I think).</p><p>He was a model public servant who acted without fear or favour and always properly. My mother used to complain that they never got any special treatment (extra coupons or anything) in spite of the power he had. </p><p>JBC was a staunch Presbyterian who lived those Christian values. He never received honours because he was “neither Mick nor Mason” (in his words). He has no entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, which is something I want to remedy.</p><p>My attempts at using <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Trove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trove</span></a> and National Archives online to find records have not turned up anything useful. I need to learn how to use these resources effectively.</p><p>I will be in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Canberra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canberra</span></a> for a few days in mid August.

Cai<p>Fedi, I'm seeking recommendations for web-based messaging services that offer voice calls and do NOT require a mobile app or a phone number to register.</p><p>I'm moving internationally and my daddo does not have a smart phone. I'm looking for something he can pull up on his desktop and that I can probably have on my phone, so I can send him photos and chats while he's at his PC.</p><p>As always, something with some consciousness behind it is preferred, but most of the major popular apps are out anyway because they require a phone number to be tied to them.</p><p>Thank you in advance!

Mais dans le devis que m'a envoyé l'agence, iels ont fair repeindre l'intégralité de l'appart alors que tous les murs n'étaient pas concernés (moins d'un tiers des murs je dirai).

Michael Porter<p>Tossing this into the fediverse on the off chance someone is familiar with the problem and a fix.</p><p>My father is on a 2015 iMac (Intel Core i7) running macOS 12 Monterey.</p><p>PDFs are not opening properly, in a number of ways. This is the case for both Preview *and* Adobe Acrobat:</p><p>- If the app is not running, dragging a PDF over the app icon on the dock does nothing; the app doesn't launch. <br>- Double-clicking or selecting “Open With" from the contextual menu *will* launch the app and open the first document. <br>- Any successive documents will *not* open via double-clicking/the contextual menu/dragging to the dock. <br>- They will, however, be opened if “Open..." is selected from the File menu within the app.</p><p>- The same thing does *not* happen with TextEdit files or OpenOffice files - those apps behave normally and open successive files. It's just PDFs in Preview and Adobe Acrobat.</p><p>Any ideas? I find it odd that the problem exists over different apps, but not different filetypes. If I get desperate I will wipe and reinstall the system, but I'm hoping someone has a more refined fix before I have to resort to that.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/fedihelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fedihelp</span></a></p>
