Indeed just issuing a warning at connection or so “keep in mind to drive safely and keep an eye on the road” would be more appropriate IMHO. There is the same kind of restrictions with Waze, you cannot access the keyboard when driving and are forced to use the speech recognition which is often difficult (especially in foreign countries where street names are in foreign language).

So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works… Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it… Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.

Of course, it’s the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.

I use SimpleHttp server but it’s not open source and available only on play store. I use this to download epub from my e-reader after having downloaded them on my phone. Now I will look into foss solutions proposed in this Post, through termux or other apps, thanks.

Edit: indeed with termux + caddy + termux widget it’s just perfect

A good chair for sure. I think this is the most valuable thing you can ask for.

It’s indeed noisy, we schedule it to run when we’re not at home.

A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it’s called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it’s not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.

Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.

I was born in 1984 :D

On a user level I agree it’s a very good feature (if configurable, not just an automatic grouping of similarly named communities). For merging post, not sure I want that, perhaps a bit too smart… Now if many users want this why not (as long as there is a setting to turn it off ;)).

Indeed this would really be a game changer feature. However I don’t complain about community fragmentation, I think it’s great because the communities are not really identical but share the same topic, sometimes with different tone, moderation, …

For notes I’m using Joplin with sync with desktop client through a nextcloud instance. Really a very nice app if you want sync with multiple devices anc user friendly interface.

For maps OsmAnd, I even pay a subscription to support the project (and have hourly updated maps which is pretty cool when I fix wood paths in openstreetmap).

Really happy with this fork, using it for several months now. Also occasionally Unexpected Keyboard for termux / ssh / code …

I use helium314/openboard on day to day basis, but the few times I use termux or have to ssh a linux box from my phone, unexpected keyboard is really awesome.

Please define “normal people”. ;)

IR led, useful to use your phone as a remote control for various non-connected hardware

First two instances I blocked as soon my instance switched to .19 :) My “all” feed is so good now

Didn’t knew this one, still a fan of osmand but why not give a try
