Personally, I would love a (canon) amber POS option that didn't also render the rest of the forums the same way.

Fantastic app. I use it a zillion hours a day and I love it. Thank you app wizards for your hard work, dedication, and hoopy froodness.



I am somewhat concerned of late having a frog face appear and fill my screen when I turn it on because I'm not a white supremacist and while I like :getin: in context, I wonder if there is a way to have an alternate loading screen/menu icon.

You dinguses the point isn't that I don't know porntoes from pepe it's that I'm concerned about other people seeing the frog and misunderstanding.

If I saw someone with a white supremacist symbol on their phone, I would not inquire as to its meaning and the average non goon in 2017 will see a cartoon frog and think MRA not SA

It is a minor possibly even non issue, but I thought it was worth an ask. Better to be safe than sorry in some social situations.

Hit the dropdown arrow next to Serious Hardware/Software Crap > YOSPOS (Your OS is a POS). The default is green, but you can change it to amber. It's an homage to the DOS/command line interface days of old. :iia:

This is probably a rhetorical question since I'm speaking to a goon, but why are you browsing the forums in social situations?

Social situations as in any time someone might see my phone screen, like on a bus, in a waiting room, etc. I'm not on my phone at all of I'm hanging out with someone because I'm an old who likes to actually be present in my own life.

And it's not so much that I care what strangers may think of me, although of course I do a little. It's more that normalizing what appears to be bigoted bullshit is bad.

I love our frog, but if I were, say, a Buddhist traditionalist, I wouldn't want my phone to periodically display what most people would internalize as a swastika either. I'd pick a different symbol.

Are you on the newest version? The 🐸 doesn't look anything like the :frogout: family anymore, it's a heavily stylised material design frog that stares emotionless into your soul. It definitely doesn't have a shiteating smirk

I mean if people are worried and this is actually a thing that's happening then maybe we could look at it? It's the first I've heard of frogs in general being bad news though, and hell if I know what you lot are up to in your countries

i am just some goon but i had never even considered the possibility that someone would confuse the 2 frogs before that post

also to the paranoid goon: just hold your device close to your body or behind something for a couple seconds when you open the app. then nobody will see the terrifying amphibian (although they might still catch sight of your posts :v:)

If there's a star menu icon in the forum list and you can long press a forum to favourite it, you got it

Also I wanted to say, I think you're giving too much credit to the frog as a recognizable symbol of anything to anyone who's not on the internet as much. Maybe we're just in very different environments but I would not expect most of the people I know or come in contact with would even know anything about Pepe memes.

Any time I open the app I sincerely hope that someone behind me will catch a glimpse of the material frog and then wonder at their own sanity.
