  • What FOSS applications do you use for habits, tasks, and notes?

  • Kanboard

    I got the ADHD. I got different shit going all the time.

    Kanboard let's me throw together a project and very quickly add the tasks I know I'll need. I self host an instance for my wife and I, mostly for my chores, but its our honeydo list as well.

    Seems like you'd have different boards for family stuff and PhD stuff.

  • The problem to this solution as well as many others, is emacs.

  • All good. I dont take the opinions of gang members seriously, so I be disregarding anything you say.

  • First, you are clearly not engaging. Being associated with gang members is not a crime. The entire premise for this kidnappings is illegal. They aren't arresting her for immigration status, they are arresting her for associating with people, which is in no way a crime. This is extrajudicial behavior and the only reason I am able to determine that you are OK with it is cause she wasn't a citizen.

    Kidnappings people off the street and sending them elsewhere without due process is a distraction...

    People being disappeared is a distraction...

    What the fuck?

    "They aren't citizens!" You'll say. To which I say, "go ahead and prove your citizenship, without due process, and when you can't satisfy what I want, which in any case is to disappear you regardless, I'll just disappear you anyways."

    Seriously, we have been given so many reasons to not trust these people, and here you are licking their boots so that abhorrent policies can be put into place. Nah, fuck off with that shit.

  • You are being weird about so some getting kidnapped off the street with no allegations that require evidence being made?

    I hereby accuse you of association with MS13. Would it be acceptable to disappear you based on my accusation? No? Then fuck off, you are being a hateful little fuck.

  • FOSS Shared Expense Tracker and Shopping List

    Jump

  • I'd like to second this.

    I'm using fkn google keep for my list cause im able to keep synced with my wife.

    Grocy is too big. I can't just write "apples" in grocy and be done. I have to tell grocy what am apple is, and how they are packaged first, and I'm honestly tired of it.

    Nextcloud seems like a pain to set up when all that is actually needed is a check mark list,, reordering the list, and to enter contents as text.

  • do regular apps work with eOS?

    Jump

  • There are significant portions of android that are effectively under google monopoly, in truth, if not technically in fact.

    First android is a phone OS, don't assume desktop rules really apply the same way. There's not tons of use for a workspace here, or at least not in my personal experience. Its my phone, my phone IS my workspace.

    Second, android makes the assumption that you want basic functionality like email, and internet use, and messaging, location info for mapping, etc, so all of that got coded directly in to the OS. yeah you can use Firefox but can you uni stall chrome? Can you unintstall gmail? Often the answer is no, as you aren't the admin of your phone, the carrier is and they have deals with google.

    There are attempts to work around this, AOSP is one of them, but the fact that its a thing in the first place illustrates what I'm trying to say.

    Third, among those things google has an effective monopoly on is their app store. Its incredibly difficult to, as a normal person who is not especially technically inclined, to make heads or tails of fdroid, or worse to have to find your own app store.

    Thus, /e/os is stuck. Package microg, or dont provide access to the google app store for their consumer focused devices, or use google play services.

    Packaging microg was easily the best option from the perspective of a business that wants to sell a functional device.

    As to the specifics of AOSP folk, they're basically the arch nerds of android. I love them but I dont understand much. I do know that it does not seem as though AOSP as a ROM is widely used, and that many of the projects around deGoogled android are basically single person communities, in that one person does all the work and burns out (Linege) or are... toolbags is the term I'm going to diplomatically use. Specifically graphene where the admin wound up being a toolbag, bad enough for Louis Rossman to do a video on.

  • Right, I think this is where we are misommunicating.

    I use my fairphone as my daily. I also have to use OKTA, and stuff. And I dont use microg for them cause they don't talk to google. I suppose technically the apps dont use microg, just like they dont use google.

    The problem you are going to run into though is that google has baked itself into android that you need something to trick android into thinking its operable.

    In stock android, you COULD have a workspace that only uses microg, but considering you otherwise MUST have play services... Why?

    Alternatively, you can use microg to handle all your google bullshit to sign yourself in locally and actually use the services that require google without actually signing in to google.

    Frankly, it sounds more like you want an Ubuntu/Linux (not android Linux) phone or something, but I'm not able to advise on that.

  • do regular apps work with eOS?

  • Possibly, maybe probably. If you dont want to degoogle, why use /e/os? Thats basically the explicit purpose. /e/is fills the same need as any degoogled ROM but is prepackaged on fairphone devices, no need to buy a pixel in order to use graphene. If you just want android, and the ability to use microg when you want and not when you dont, just use a normal android device.

  • The choice is google or microg. If you are cool doing Goole things, pick any other phone. If you have a different alternative that actually give full android functionality, including things like the google search built into the default android launcher, lemme know.

  • Your frustration is understood, but I feer its misplaced. The way you phrased your response suggests you are disappointed that /e/os doesnt behave like you want, when you should actually be frustrated with google for designinjng android that way.

    1. no. Microg is baked in to try and get around the portions of google bullshit thats baked in.
    2. yes, I have play services running because I cannot not have android auto.

    Not in /e/os far as i can see. Maybe in aosp somehow? Frankly, I am not exactly a fan of many of the decisions Murena made. They're motherfuckers about letting me do the things I actually want in the system, for example: just update my apps, dont notify me. I do not care unless you broke or can't update. But no, I have to dismiss every successful app update.

  • Separate. Not entirely sure how it works but another user in thread brought it up, sec...

    Skarn: Actually, no. e/OS includes MicroG, so even most app requiring Google services work just fine. What really doesnt't work is Casting videos to a Chromecast, and anything requiting Play Integrity certification like Revolut.

    Thought he provided more info, but yeah. Chromecast just does not function cause its basically in google walled garden.

  • By in large there is no difference to notice, riiiiight up till you get to invisible google integrations. A lot of people wont notice stuff like this, but android auto relys on google servers and big G managed to break microG for a couple days and we cannot cast to our Chromecast (ever :( )

  • I am fully aware of what the fairphone I'm on is able to do. Thank you for assuming I dont have experience with what I'm talking about.

    The biggest one was when play Services updated back kn December and broke maps for me, specifically on android auto.
