If this ever gets ported for NewPipe and/or LibreTube it’ll be sensational

The fact that it exists makes me happy :]

Isn’t the ultimate issue enforceability? For a dev to be awarded some of the profit made off an open source project:

1. A whistleblower would have to discover, gather, and publish evidence that the software was being used to generate profit
2. The dev would have to win a court case against the company

It would be fuckin rad if that happened and a dev got a huge payout and a legal precedent was set. But it’d be more rad if we didn’t live in a society where this was an issue in the first place :[

I use AsteroidOS since afaik it’s the only working FOSS watch OS. It’s still pretty bare feature-wise. Everything has to be done via PC terminal, even loading custom background images. There are basically no apps published by the community.

BUT now I have a watch on my wrist instead of in a drawer, it interfaces with my LineageOS phone, and it’s not uploading all the details of my boring life to Google :]

I need to learn how to fuckin code…

Oh for sure. Any language sounds intense asf when you’re yelling it. Didn’t mean to hit some nerves by linking a decade old video… I believe the creators meant no harm and I didn’t either :[

If someone who didn’t speak English overheard me greeting my cousins, they’d probably think I was trying to start a fight :P

Unciv if you enjoy sacrificing hours of your life :)

this is true

• LineageOS: my Android ROM of choice

• LineageOS for MicroG: the ROM on my second phone where I quarantine my use of apps that refuse to work without Google services (mostly stuff I need for business travel e.g. Amtrak, Google Maps)

• Aurora Store: allows installation of most Play Store apps without login. I mainly use this on the MicroG phone, but it’s also needed to get the ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar apps (only ProtonVPN is on F-Droid)

• TrackerControl: allows fine tuned domain blocking on a per-app basis. Often allows you to block just ads and trackers but still be able to use an app or at least many of its features.

• Arcticons: monochrome line art icons (because I hate fun and want my GUIs to look like a terminal)

• AsteroidOS Sync: WearOS replacement. AsteroidOS still has a long way to go, but I doubt WearOS would play nicely with LineageOS and I don’t want all the tracking anyway.

• Bubble: bubble level by woheller69 (a true F-Droid GOAT)

• FlorisBoard: afaik, only FOSS gesture typing Android keyboard (besides AnySoft, which doesn’t seem to work consistently)

• GMaps WV: fairly locked-down web viewer for Google Maps (sadly OSM just doesn’t have a usably complete business directory where I live)

• Lawnchair: launcher with all the features I want except being up to date on F-Droid

• Librera: the PDF reader on F-Droid that I hate the least. (Anyone got any better recommendations?)

• NewPipe: ad-free Youtube player with locally stored subscriptions and playlists. An IzzyOnDroid fork with SponsorBlock is also available.

• QKSMS: my SMS app of choice

• Signal: because I can’t convince my friends to switch to Briar

• SpoTube: pirate ad-free Spotify that works by looking up tracks on Youtube. Is therefore limited by what’s available on YT and sometimes plays wrong tracks, but you can’t beat the price :] Even interfaces with a Spotify account to play and edit playlists.

• Standard Notes: E2E encrypted cloud-synced notes. Also accessible by web browser, which has saved my ass a few times while phoneless

• Weather: by BeoCode on F-Droid

• VLC: everyone’s favorite traffic cone boi

Fennec is such a godsend
