I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

Alright that doesn’t sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven’t upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

The problem I had with products like Airalo is that if you are traveling and need to actually call a hotel, excursion, or any company in the country you are visiting you cannot do that with just a data eSIM like Airalo.

Sure you could use WiFi calling maybe but in my experience when I really needed to call someone I had to switch back to my original carrier and incur the $10/day fee.

Yeah I checked and saw that there was some random display there. However, the latest update this morning fixed this issue after a restart so I guess someone fixed it upstream? 😀

Sadly today the issue is back. Still unsure why this keeps happening.

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

That’s a good starter list. However it should be noted that all the Simple apps should be avoided now and instead people should use the forked versions from Fossify.

See the following post for more information: https://lemmy.world/post/11117891

Thank you! I had no idea development had stopped but I see that now in their GitHub repository.

My problem with Symphony and other music apps like Auxio is that they don’t work with audiobooks and file types like m4b. Simple Music Player worked for me when playing all my audio files but now I am waiting for the Fossify version to be published.

I personally use Budget with Buckets and it’s working quite well.

I just sync my file to a common server for my backup and syncing.

It’s very annoying when people do this. Here’s a link to the archived version: archive.ph/w1XBt

JoyfulCodingGuy,

Thank you! I didn’t know they also made an app that does this. For anyone looking for the link it’s the following: grayjay.app

I’d also recommend looking into their other projects such as their Android voice input app: voiceinput.futo.org

Or other projects: futo.org/projects/

And/or with SponsorBlock if you don’t care about sending that data to the open APIs. It’s pretty useful if some channels you watch have a lot of sponsors, self promotions, etc.

Firefox is great and works well on Android yes! I recommend Mull.

However, technically speaking, resources don’t fully recommend it due to there being no per-site process isolation yet that works well.

If that doesn’t matter to people then sure it’s great and better than using Chromium based browsers. 🙂

It’s just good to give everyone the information and reasoning why then let them decide.

Thanks for this! I use Wallabag and love it but doesn’t hurt to look at other products. Would be nice if they had an non-Google deploy of their Android app.

Like another person said they resolved to that here: www.reddit.com/r/…/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

Yes I’ve been using DAVx⁵ for many years to sync my Synology Calendar to my phone via WebDAV and my contacts via CardDAV. Any concerns you have?

JoyfulCodingGuy,
@JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

I see. Somehow I missed your first edit with that information. It does not seem like that’s an option given the response on the GitHub discussions: github.com/bitfireAT/davx5-ose/discussions/318#di…

They suggest:

creating a Tasker automation, or use an specialized application for synchronization like Syncthing or FolderSync for example.

Apparently there’s also the option to use NextCloud and their app if you want to go that route like someone else suggested.

Pretty sure there are 5 Red Rising books and 6th one due out this year. 🙂

Now that Steam is all in on the Steam Deck and SteamOS there is much better support for games on Linux. See ProtonDB.

Also, the Linux distro Pop!_OS has worked quite well for me for games. I use the NVIDIA version which bundles NVIDIA’s propietary library blobs which also helps with the game compatibility.

But all in all I agree with you that even with all of this it is not as smooth as just click and play on Windows. 🙂 Plus some games just don’t work on Linux at all so there’s that. Lol.
