Edit: had to reset my password via the reset link in the welcome email.

But the Android app is already available. Although I can’t log in… Is this because the server is overwhelmed or are Android users indeed blocked? Why would they release the app then?

The low WiFi signal in the play store screenshots is stressing me out lol

Idk. I agree that it’s a bad practice, but I also don’t understand the downvotes. I think in this context it’s valid to share your preference whether to update or not. Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)

I use it for explaining stuff when studying for uni and I do it like this: If I don’t understand e.g. a definition, I ask an LLM to explain it, read the original definition again and see if it makes sense.

This is an informal approach, but if the definition is sufficiently complex, false answers are unlikely to lead to an understanding. Not impossible ofc, so always be wary.

For context: I’m studying computer science, so lots of math and theoretical computer science.

But they run locally on the phone, if I’m not completely mistaken. So no use for a server.

Or do they offer this option? I think they explicitly advertise no internet access.

I only know that I was pleasantly surprised how well GNOME ran on a surface device of a friend.

It’s funny how my brain makes the cat look huge whenever I focus on the CAT logo.

As it probably has internalized the size of things with this logo

Also this goes to show that F-droid needs a rating system IMO 🫠

Thank you for this awesome list! I had terrible experience with OSS Document Scanner and Image Toolbox though.

The scanner would just distort every image like crazy!! Would 100% of the time utterly fail to detect the paper edges even against high contrast backgrounds without any patterns and under very good lighting. I did like 20+ photos and immediately deleted the app, it didn’t produce a single usable result.

And image toolbox was just a pain to use. If you compare how you apply filters in e.g. Instagram to this app, the UX is purely frustrating :( Though the app looks nice and has lots of features :)

Sorry for all the negativity 😅 I’ll try to be more positive by sharing my favorite Spotify alternative, which is basically a YouTube music client with premium features. The service remains proprietary but the same applies to discord. InnerTune

If they post it on a non-google platform, they only gonna reach people that already don’t use Google…

I agree. Especially as the app is already 20 MB in size… 1.5MB wouldn’t make much difference IMO.

That’s a bit rude, don’t you think? He’s a person too and reads this comment… How would you feel reading st. like that about you? :/

Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.

Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.
