I’m looking for a watch that is able to do basic “smart” things like show notifications and ping my phone if I misplace it. A timer/stopwatch would also be good, and a long lasting battery....
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.
I only have one monitor plugged into my desktop PopOS 22.04 LTS install. Recently my display settings shows two displays with one being the correct Samsung one and another just as “Unknown Display”....
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? 😀
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.
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.
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.
Been searching for a good alternative to Pocket since they botched my account transfer after forcing me tu update. Came across shiori and omnivore, any advice? Any better app than those?
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.

I’m planning to selfhost my own webdav server, but I’m not sure what FOSS app to use. RCX seems to be not being maintained anymore (last updated was 2021). Any suggested app available in Fdroid?...
I want to read a recent(ish) fun fantasy series with an eighteen year-old male protagonist, that has immense worldbuilding and greatly-written characters. Any suggestions?
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.
Any recommendations for a privacy respecting watch with basic smart features?

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