Depends on what you call a theme. I was referring to color themes that can be synced with GTK apps, while the actual buttons stay the same.

Does GNOME really need an app to change the theme?

KDE plasma has this natively...

It seems none? Looks like just a fancy SMS app, but I dont need that and has no encryption support.

But at least it is actively maintained, Partisan SMS is abandonware.

Interesting! This explains a lot, thanks!

Happy to be a Linux user in 2024!

Of course I am not talking about Windows ;)

That compared to Quik?

Quik is huge, 60MB for an SMS app... in my eyes it tries to do too much, like integration of random other protocols.

I used DekuSMS because of that but it doesnt allow texting phone numbers and Exodus shows it has a tracker

  • Deku SMS: has AES encryption support but is kinda shady, has trackers?
  • Fossify Messages: simple, based on AOSP messages
  • LineageOS Messages: modern and simple, based on AOSP messages, but no APKs available and not installable on other Androids with the APPID they use

Ja leider ist das kompliziert. Stimme den Punkten zu, es ist in allem irgendwie befremdlich

You can download the firefox binary and run that, it should go through Tor.

mozilla.org/firefox

Does Tails have Flatpak support?

Ich finde das Abschaffen von *-in und *-innen super wichtig. Gleichberechtigung ist kein dummes Anhängsel, das nur für Frauen gilt.

Aber durch das männliche Pronomen wäre ich halt dafür entweder gleich alle Pronomen abzuschaffen (macht es so allen fAcHkRäFtEn leichter, anstatt in so einem Sprachchaos deutsch zu lernen) oder halt für Menschen was neues, oder "das" zu sagen.

Edit: the app seems to be pretty old, I like the Writer editing more (it works) but for other things, CollaboraOffice is way better.

Has anyone tried that on a tablet? The phone UI has like no features


Currently it is a "viewer" (renderer with usable UI) and editing features are experimental.

They only release their APK to Google Play for whatever reason, but you can use F-Droid to get it

Bugs can normally be reported to their bugtracker and you can join their forum for more community support!

Youtube Demo Video

Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.

Die App wurde mir gerade empfohlen.

Ist vollständig auf Deutsch übersetzt und bietet ein einfaches modernes Design wie Google Maps, aber mit Downloadfunktion, Tourplanung wie Komoot.

Die APK gibts auch APKPure

Somit auch über Obtainium möglich.

Bietet ähnlich viele, aber andere Funktionen wie OrganicMaps. Und natürlich seehr viel weniger als OSMAnd+, was dafür aber sehr viel komplizierter zu benutzen ist.

Eine gute Alternative für die Eltern oder Großeltern :)

Hab mal geschaut nach Apps die einem beim Existieren helfen.

Der meiste Kram ist bullshit. Download dauert ewig (wahrscheinlich 400MB+), trotzdem bekommt man ohne Internetverbindung maximal ein "bitte Verbinden, um Meditationen herunterzuladen".

Die Addie App ist bezahlt, aber von der ADHD Foundation unterstützt, klang ganz gut. Aber bevor ich mir die aufs Handy schmeiße und dafür bezahle, hat wer Erfahrungen?

DuckDuckGo Suche ergab:

noscript mit etlichen angezeigten Trackern

Das wars schon. Wirklich nicht überzeugend. Ich schreibe die Entwickler mal an.

Das ist der Exodus report:

Absolut unangemessen für eine bezahlte App.

 

Google Pixel phones, especially with GrapheneOS, are worlds more secure than other technologies.

Every user account is decrypted with a key generated by the secure element, and the pin is just used to unlock that key.

But the secure element is rarely used in other applications.

Here is how to unlock your KeepassDX Storage with it:

  1. Create a password storage with a very secure and long password. Length is especially important, prefer to use tons of nonsense words, over hard to remember symbols
  2. In KeepassDX Settings, under "unlock settings" enable "use system unlock"
  3. Enter the password for the password storage.
  4. Instead of pressing Enter, press on the button in the bottom left to register the password in the Android Keystore.

From now on you can unlock your password storage using all the security that your device offers.

The only weakness is the password, so make it as long as possible.

To copy-paste passwords relatively securely, you can use Florisboard's internal clipboard. Enable "sync from system clipboard", and disable "sync to system clipboard".

If you copy things using the button on Florisboard, it will only be saved in Florisboards internal app storage, not your system clipboard, which is accessible to all input devices (keyboard apps) and foreground apps.

To delete things from the system clipboard (which only holds one entry) you can use apps like this one

I recommend Obtainium to get the latest versions of these apps.

Here is a list of available app configs

 

I spend way too much time on this. It has awesome features, a good mobile UI, maaany many systems to sort things, flexible permissions and more.

Examples:

  • Fedora
  • KDE
  • uBlue
  • Tor project (they also have an onion site)
  • Manjaro, EndeavorOS, Garuda
  • Brave
  • Nextcloud
  • ZorinOS
  • PrivacyGuides, Techlore
  • Audacity
  • Anki
  • Joplin ...

WAIT!

before you start commenting that TUI musicplayer xy is the best, my priorities:

must have:

  • support for m3u playlists (synced to Android with Syncthingy) should autodetect them in a single folder I use also for the music files, and read/write them
  • support for viewing all files
  • support for custom music directories
  • support for deleting music files
  • Flatpak OR clutterfree on KDE

would like:

  • Pipewire output
  • nice simple GUI
  • modern, clutterfree design OR customizability
  • subtitles, cover images, etc.

I used G4Music which looks awesome and has minimal playlist support. It works really well but it cant write to the playlist. It is blazingly fast, and I made an issue, offering a bounty for write-to-playlist support.

I found Lollypop, the old GTK UI is way better than the Qt alternatives, while still kinda ugly. But it seems to tick all boxes, apart from Pipewire support.


What I tried:

G4Music

  • UI perfect
  • no file deletion
  • no playlist addition
  • no playlist creation

Lollypop

  • UI is bareable
  • pulseaudio, no setting at all
  • playlist support including writing to! You need to enable it
  • lots of internet stuff for artwork and subtitles
  • sane defaults

GNOME music

  • does not detect my .m3u playlists
  • slow
  • needs pulseaudio
  • settings are a joke
  • no folder view

Strawberry

  • UI is horrible and not customizable enough
  • no Pipewire support
  • no .m3u detection
  • cluttered, no UI zoom possible
  • system icon theme is not applied

Clementine

  • like strawberry but different?
  • more online stuff
  • interface less customizable
  • cursor broken on the Flatpak

Amarok

  • Strawberry in even older?
  • bloat?
  • retro-development status

MusicPod

  • UI hides too much stuff
  • no playlist support
  • no filesystem hierarchy support
  • strange Ubuntu look, but good UI, fancy background
  • no podcast backup file support (so Kasts is better for that)
  • but pipewire support!

Plattenalbum

  • no playlist support
  • otherwise looks great

Resonance

  • modern, GTK4 Libadwaita, UI is damn lit
  • freezes, fills up the entire RAM (scans every title at once!) -> not optimized at all, made system freeze and needed to hard shutdown.
  • no playlist support?
  • no pipewire support?

Melody

  • uses soon EOL GNOME 42 runtime

Amberol

  • beautiful but too minimalist
  • why are there soo many GNOME music players??

moosync

  • very nice UI
  • electron: tiny cursor on Wayland, no Pipewire support
  • plugin support for Youtube, Spotify (using librespot) and LastFM
  • local playlists seem broken
 

Hallo Leute! Ich habe meine ADHS diagnose bekommen, und darf mich jetzt wirklich als ADHSler bezeichnen.

Ich hätte Lust auf eine Austauschgruppe zu etlichen Dingen wie Medikamenten, Erfahrungen, Apps, Strategien etc.

Um etwas Datenschutz zu garantieren, würde ich sagen alle interessierten schreiben mir eine private Nachricht, mit einem lustigen Spruch und ihrem Wunsch für die Gruppe.

(Bot-Abwehr ist nervig...)

I may need/benefit from using Slack for "work stuff".

Yeah, sucks totally, but network effect is a thing.

What is the best way to use it, on Android and on Linux, from people that use it often.

Do they have a webapp? How do they do their servers, is it centralized? Any wrappers for anything I should think of?

Using it in the work profile (GrapheneOS), getting the APK from APKpure is the option I would consider as last resort.
