Haha, so you move from one bad decision to another? Being stuck at a lousy cloud company? Oh my!

Other than messing with my scaling and two incompatible applets it just runs absolutely fine. Glad I waited for a week - was thinking about installing it from testing.

I use Google with modifiers like plus and minus, quotation marks and most importantly with uBlocklist. This way I can hide seo bullshit with a single click

I don’t care about that, but its an image of a flipping person…

I like the fact a lot that the image is hosted at imgflip

Although this seems to be an excellent tip (thanks), this sounded very USA to me.

Same shit, different corporation. They established sort of a monopoly by lower prices and venture capital. Now they start to collect large amounts of money and go down.

Some of them are not underrated, but I’d just share my favorites…

• AntennaPod for podcasts.
• Aurora Store if you need some Google apps to be updated.
• Binary Eye is a nice and slim qr code scanner and generator.
• CriticalMaps is a good tool if you’re into critical mass events.
• GadgetBridge can be a companion app for your smartwatch (if you have the right one).
• GPS logger just logs your position in an interval you can set. I use it to track my movement in 30min bits.
• GymRoutines is a privacy friendly gym exercise app with a database of your progress.
• K9 mail (soon to be rebranded as Thunderbird mobile) is a powerful mail app.
• KeePassDX is an android password manager compatible with keepass files.
• LibreTorrent is a nice way to torrent your favorite linux distros while on the go.
• Location Map Viewer I use with the gpx files I get from GPS logger to visualize my movements.
• mpv just plays a lot of media without being a bloated thing like vlc. I use mpv for videos, vlc for music.
• NewPipeSponsorblock is available in a custom repo only.
• Ning is a nice way to get an overview over a local network.
• OpenTracks can be used in combination with GadgetBridge to record your sports with gps.
• OSMand gives you a frontend for using openstreetmap with offline maps, navigation and more.
• PDF Doc Scan is my way to digitalize important letters as a pdf on the go.
• StreetComplete is a gamificated way to fill in missing things in openstreetmap. it’s fun.
• Syncthing-Fork (important to use the fork) is a file sync tool I use to backup a lot of my phones folders to a pc.
• Tusky is my favorite way to browse mastodon.
• VLC is a powerful media player (I then use only to shuffle through my mp3s).

mind reading. it would make you super sad super fast, because you’d always know when you’re being lied to.

KTorrent

Personally I dislike top-to-bottom-orgs like gp, while I see at the same time they are fighting for a world worth living in (as I do as well).

What (sometimes) helps me in situations like that is exercise in a gym and a plan for the day that includes leaving the house. Most days are though tough.

Does it run with wine on Linux?

Alright. Sorry. My bad. Looks exactly like a drawing I saw 10+ years ago in a forum…

Not an AI image…

I use rofi (on my machine with dmenu theme) and after some digging I found this: https://github.com/Dartegnian/rofi-metro You may use this on any distro as there are very few dependencies to run this simple launcher :)

Steps, sleep, stress, workouts work quite nice. PAI is supposed to have a tab within the next few releases of gadgetbrigde iirc. My approach is more like… I use gb to collect the data from the watch and then use grafana for a visualisation. which might be overkill.
