“Happy to help.” or “Hope it helps.”

I especially appreciate that the graph is designed as “Linux” and “Other” instead of “Windows”, maybe “MacOS” and “Other”.

You are mistaking KMail (desktop client by KDE) and K-9 Mail (Android client that is being rebranded into Thunderbird for Android).

Brave Search currently, but I am still in the experimenting and search engine-hopping phase. Henceforth, Brave Search is not my final search engine, either.

I had used it for a while in the past. The results were surprisingly good. I have moved to other search engines to experiment since then, but I have nothing bad to say about my time with Qwant.

That is example that looking for new apps part I mentioned. I know there are FOSS Android video and proto editors. I just never needed any of them, so I don’t know which one is better or worse, but I know there are a few I have heard about in recent years. I know I have seen several contacts and dialler apps on F-Droid. Time to check them out one by one and hopefully one will fit the needs with minimal concessions. Others in this post have already mentioned some apps. See if they might work for you, too. I wish you best of luck looking for the right apps for you.

I think it is worth mentioning that there is an alternative for each one of Simple Mobile Tools apps. It will just mean we have to spend some time looking for such apps yet again. We as users of FOSS software must be always prepared to move from one application to another. This is why walled gardens, export to / import from open standard formats and in general easy replaceability of FOSS SW is important. This is just a sad fact about using FOSS where FOSS maintainers are just normal people, with all their needs, faults, and weaknesses.

Exactly the same happened to me. It just feels so natural. I run basically every single command with the Atuin up key. It is faster then typing it all again and again. Atuin is what the history search in terminal should have always been.

I know about Trilium, but never had the incentive to try it out. Maybe I will spare some time now to have a look and investigate. The sheer number of features is astonishing. Thank you for reminding me about Trilium again.

Welcome. Sure, Linux Mint’s WebApp Manager or Peppermint OS’s Ice are here for you. But jokes aside, sadly, no. Lemmy does not have a native Linux application as of now. But you can make use of the fact that the browser UI is a PWA which can be installed like a regular app as well.

May I just say, I love all these test… it works comments/posts here and there :D Seeing someone figuring out a new piece of technology is for me a unique and satisfying experience.

I’ve just installed Lemmur, can’t seem to log in on it though

That is because Lemmur is no longer maintained and the log in process is broken in that app. It was a great app when it worked, but now you cannot use it unless someone updates it again.

That is both the advantage and price of being decentralized. Not locking anyone to only one instance/server with only one option for a community on a certain topic is important. However, it creates a much more complex and for some newcomers (who do not understand what federation is) hard to navigate and grasp concept.

Just out of curiosity, do you mean that Windows does not have a built-in system-wide clipboard manager? TIL.

Other than already mentioned, I use daily:

• FairEmail: Fully featured, privacy-oriented email app for Android,
• Syncthing: A continuous file synchronization program,
• Tasks.org: Open-source To-Do Lists & Reminders, and
• AntennaPod: The Open Podcast Player.

I agree that I, too, would make use of such improvements. Maybe the future will pleasantly surprise us :) Similar kind of support that LibRedirect has would be great.

I use Mull, NewPipe and UntrackMe. What I want to stress here is that UntrackMe is an amazing application that more people should use regularly. UntrackMe redirects one to a more privacy-respecting sites. That is great and all, but what I find the most important of the features is that (and you can set your phone to always use UntrackMe, that is, open its context menu) when you click on any random link anywhere (or share it to UntrackMe), you will get a context menu allowing you to select which application to use to open that link, and, most importantly, it will show you the link itself.

You can (and should) verify that the link points to the website you expect, not a scam / fake one. I find this amazingly useful. I know that I can click on anything and always open this UntrackMe context menu to verify, that it leads where I expect it to.

An instance can block federation with another instance (an instance admin must do this on the instance server), but for you as a user of an instance, you cannot block the whole server. What I did is exactly what you describe. This way, I have only the content I am interested in my post feed. It takes a while, but it serves the purpose.

Lemmy does not have this feature as of now. You could create an issue for this feature on Lemmy GitHub. Alternatively, you can solve this by locally hiding the elements in the UI that display score with something like UO’s element picker easily after only a minute of figuring it out.
