  • Simple Text Editor

    FOSS text editor for when you just literally wanna write something down without any weird bloat and without having to deal with Google. Available on F-Droid.

    Also, OpenBoard for a FOSS keyboard with swipe typing. Also available on F-Droid

    You know what, I think F-Droid is actually my hidden gem app. I’m sure most Lemmy users use it, but I don’t think I know anyone else IRL who does, so hidden gem might not be accurate depending on perspective.








  • Empty land? My man, they’re literally kicking people out of their homes and moving settlers in, there’s videos and reports from multiple sources. It’s not the vast empty plains of the wild west after the natives died to disease.

    Vox did a great report a while back where they talked to a guy who was moved into a house a family was kicked out and his justifications for moving in and the struggles he faces in the neighborhood. The focus though was the family who got kicked out and their efforts to get it back.

    I’d link the video but I don’t wanna link YouTube and I’m sure you could find these kind of reports if you wanted to.



  • Never used Proton Pass but seeing that it doesn’t have a desktop app is a deal breaker for me. I hate having to go to my browser, pull up the extension and search for passwords if I’m just trying to log into another program on my computer.

    I do wish Bitwarden was able to recognize when desktop apps are asking for passwords and auto fill logins. Roboform, which I tried previously, could do this but there was a lot of jankiness in other parts of the program.

    Also tried Dashlane, which was a great experience in general but unnecessarily expensive when FOSS alternatives exist that can do infinite passwords and multi-device syncing.




  • Malaysia is fun for this. Just asking for tea (teh) will get you a hot sweet milk tea, if you want no milk you ask for “teh-O”. If you want no milk AND no sugar you ask for a " teh-O kosong", kosong basically meaning empty. Then of course there are the ice variants like “teh-O ais kosong”. So basically the default is getting everything except ice, then you add modifiers to take things out.

    But tea language strangeness aside, Malaysian teh-tarik (pulled tea) is amazing and should get more global attention. Even the preparation can be quite a show and there are local competitions.


  • Yes, been loving BG3 but my best experiences with games in recent years have all been indie, from Outer Wilds that made me completely rethink what a game experience is meant to be, to Vampire Survivors that tickled all the right parts of my brain into making me spend hours watching pixels flash on screen in the most mind-numbingly addictive way. Indie devs really seem to be carrying forward the soul of gaming that larger gaming companies have lost, the exceptions being so rare that Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting lauded for basically meeting what would have been normal expectations for a AA title in the early 2000’s
