Geometric weather ☁️ is awesome 👍

notenoughbutter ,

use breezy weather as geometric isn’t updated anymore
u/tetris11
how does ping work on lemmy?

timbuck2themoon ,

Breezy is better anyhow. I’m pretty blown away by it since finding it a week ago.

And I honestly really liked geometric weather too.

I just downloaded them and they’re pretty darn similar anyways

lom ,

Yeah no shit. Breezy is just a maintained fork of geometric

cole ,
@cole@lemdro.id avatar

of course, but the implication was breezy was substantially better and my point was it seemed pretty much the same

Charmille ,

I was thinking using geometric weather but there was an update few days ago. After checking it’s actually “oss weather”, it seems very similar to breezy weather

what’s the org name for Thunder? Searching thunder or lemmy doesn’t get results, search is pretty shit.

It seems on FDroid at least that FBreader is no longer available as a FOSS app.

    What’s wrong with root?

    Is the first thing I do after installing any custom ROM.

    NewPipe for Sure. Normal YouTube apps is bloated as hell + NewPipe is very nice to listen music

    Scrollone ,

    NewPipe has only one problem: the inability to log into your Google account and keep your subscriptions and watch later playlist synced.

    ArcaneSlime ,

    “Problem.”*

    Those of us who degoogled see this as a pro not a con.

    I’d also blame youtube, iirc there is no way to export your playlists to a .csv, which could then be imported to something like newpipe easily. Of course, youtube doesn’t want to let you do that because the only thing keeping people from newpipe is really this “sunken cost” aspect to it.

    grue ,

    I want to degoogle, but I also want to keep track of which videos I’ve watched already across devices. Maybe Newpipe and similar apps need a self-hosted server companion app. Or maybe a plugin for existing server software, like I dunno, Jellyfin or Nextcloud or something. Maybe using RSS? I’m just brainstorming here…

    ClemaX , (edited )

    There are piped and invidious to do exactly this. You can host the server yourself or use a public instance. Subscriptions can be exported using google takeout and imported into piped when creating an account.

    I don’t know if the history can be imported too, but at least it synchronises keeps track of new history across devices.

    piped.video

    ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM ,

    I’m not in any way de-Googled, but I’m an old person who just wants to watch the occasional youtube link without all of the extra bullshit, and newpipe is perfect for that. Not having subscriptions or being able to login to my Google account is absolutely a feature, not a bug.

    Also, quick plug for NewPipe x SponsorBlock which can be added to F-Droid (I’ve since switched to Obtanium for it)

    ArcaneSlime ,

    And of course, though you can’t import your old playlists, you can still create new ones to use with newpipe.

    Hell, you might be able to just make your old playlist on youtube “public” and access it with newpipe, and then bookmark that whole playlist, now that I think about it.

    ClemaX ,

    You can export YT and YT music subscriptions in CSV format on google takeout: takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/…/youtube

    ArcaneSlime ,

    Good to know, thanks!

    I wouldn’t want my boss to know how much time I’m spending using Feudal Tactics.

    People have mentioned a lot so I’ll just add Freshdrops as an RSS reader. Can work with self hosted ones, etc.

    Don’t forget to donate to app devs!

    I can’t seem to find it. Is it on some particular repo?

    Termux: It makes Android closer to a real computer. I can SSH into machines, rsync files to my NAS, and build and compile applications.

    It’s usually the first thing I install.

    scarilog ,

    I’ve always wondered, how exactly does termux work? Is it fully emulating the terminal, or does it somehow accelerate processing by tapping into the underlying Linux kernel on Android?

    linearchaos ,
    @linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

    According to some post on Reddit it’s actually using the Android kernel

    AppManager. Super stable, feature-packed app that can do nearly everything with your apps.

    AdAway. No ads in apps. At all.

    Simple utilities. Just very good replacement for Google proprietary suite of apps. Good design, feature-rich, simple to use. Developer is really awesome!

    RobotDaniel ,

    Can you add a link to simple utilities, I can’t find it on f-droid

    FarLine99 ,

    It is just apps from one developer in one suite: Simple Gallery, Simple Calendar, Calculator, Clock, Phone etc… Link to Simple app suite website.

    I see you’ve mentioned scrambled exif and I want to recommend FFShare. It also scrambles exit data but also can compress media before sharing it.

    IlliteratiDomine ,
    @IlliteratiDomine@infosec.pub avatar

    ImagePipe is another one. Handles exif remove, compression/scaling, and a bunch of other transformations. I’ve been really happy with it.

    coconutzero ,

    Thanks for recommending it. I installedi it few weeks ago, but haven’t even tried it because of my old habit of using Scrambled exif. I actually though that FFShare is only for compression and removing metadata from videos. I’ll give it a try soon.

    Cubes ,

    +1 for StreetComplete. I downloaded from a recommendation on Lemmy and have enjoyed contributing to OSM on my daily walks!

    I haven’t explored the other options too much yet but 90% of the time, my pad is running Librera FD f-droid.org/packages/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/ which I think you have to pay money for at the Google store. It’s a great document reader and I really like the musician mode.

    I used to make a lot of use of Newpipe, and probably should get back to using it more, but I’ve admittedly been preferring to use the mobile site with adblock for a while now, only switching to NewPipe for video downloads, due to how often NewPipe was having issues (presumably caused by frequent Youtube updates). Is that better these days? I sure hope so, it’s a lovely app otherwise that I’d love to use more.

    As for my own favorite, it’s hard for me to pick, because there’s several I make use of daily. In no particular order:

    • Simple Keyboard - Has been my main mobile keyboard for years now.
    • Editor - Just a simple text editor, comes up surprisingly useful.
    • Diary - I personally use this as a dream journal, and it works well.
    • Simple Calculator - Does exactly what it says on the tin. For some reason, my new phone I got last year doesn’t even come with a calculator, lol.
    • Simple Calendar; Simple Gallery - I prefer these to the default Android apps.
    • Simple Voice Recorder - I make music sometimes, so this is useful to hum a quick tune before it leaves my head.
    • TimeR Machine - I use this during daily exercise as a HIIT Timer.

    I’d also recommend RedReader, but I can’t in good faith do that anymore because of what’s going on with Reddit these days. Haven’t used it or the site much since June.

    I’d say my favorite is probably Simple Keyboard just due to how often I use it (read: literally all the time, because it’s a keyboard), but I’ve gotta give mad props to TimeR Machine. It’s genuinely a really polished app, and even gives you a quick walkthrough on how to use it on first startup that’s pretty helpful. It’d be neat to see more apps with those options.-

    jet OP ,

    Newpipe has been very stable lately.
