The depressing point is:
I need a VPN app like #NetGuard to block apps which violating my privacy.
I need Kodi and #OpenSource Software to have a seamless integration of two Services in one app.
But one thing is cool. The Rest API of Kodi will allow to steer the TV.
I currently use the #libreelec on a raspi as an Alarmclock in the morning #nodered start online radio.
If everything works there is a plan for may use it with #Moonlight as gamestation.
In the near future I will also create a Videophone for my grandma with #Threemalibre from #Fdroid.
My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it’s riddled with ads....
Also I don't know anything about adblockers but I was lucky enough to have a device supported by www.divestos.org and I think the OS defaults to a DNS that ignores ads somehow. But I'm not sure! I just know I get WAY less spammy ads than friends do :P

I saw people stating you need a proper computer, with keyboard and mouse, and while I do think that would indeed be ideal, there are some things that can be done through the phone.
One app that is not directly related to programming, but is a great way to setup a system for programming, and learn a lot about terminals and the linux system, is #termux (though I should warn you to NOT download it from the appstore, install it from #fdroid instead)
From there you can install many things you actually use for programming, like a compiler, text editors, python, and things that quite often courses pretend don't exist, by giving you everything already setup in a virtual environment (not saying that is never a good thing, just that it often leaves a gap between learning and actually doing).
Some sites I would also recommend for learning are https://www.learn-c.org/ for the C language and both https://mystery.knightlab.com/ and https://selectstarsql.com/ (in that order) for learning SQL. They're great because they let you type the code directly in a window for the problem, and execute right there, so it's pretty easy to do it from the mobile (though not ideal).
A nice place to learn more about web dev is directly from https://www.w3schools.com/ where there are great resources on #HTML#CSS and #JavaScript and many more. They also have interactive "try it yourself" spaces in most examples, so you can test the concepts directly on they're page.
For help with understanding termux, take a look ate their wiki pages at https://wiki.termux.com
Hope that helps, and hope you get to love it. If you want to talk about, feel free to send me a message.

Welcome to fediverse, BBC. We hope this is a sign that BBC are ready to embrace narratives around ethics of decentralised and federated systems even if they use some electricity.
When you say "#openSource, so everyone benefits" would that mean FOSS? If so you may be able to have apps listed in #FDroid and other places good software is found.
Unsmart a smart TV (lemmy.sdf.org)
How standardized a lcd panels? Could I replace the controller in a smart TV with one of these HDMI to LCD controllers?...
How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

Best app to learn programming these days?
And what’s currently the most in-demand language/skill?...
