Great news!

Define useful.

Just a rhetorical request, I'm not expecting an answer.

Endless sky is a spaceship sim that I started playing recently. It's well done, and there are a bunch of mods available for more story, ships, etc.

The remarkable 2 is apparently good for this if you know what you are doing.

I have one and I'm very happy with it, but I use it exclusively for todo lists and taking notes, so I have no need to tinker with it.

As others have stated, grapheneOS is a good choice, and it's extremely secure.

Another option is murena' eOS. If you live in Europe, thier store sells phones with the OS preinstalled, and if you don't, the easy installer app works pretty well with most models.

But fair warning, I recently installed eOS on my wife's old Samsung S7, and I ended up having to do the installation manually with adb (command line tools). So read up on the phone you want to use, some are easier than others.

The operating system itself is great, and allows for anonymous usage of the play store (free stuff only of course) as well as F-Droid out of the box. You can also add your Google account to get full play store functionality, but then Google starts getting your info again, albeit less than with standard android.

I worked it out, they have ~6 comments/hour average over the last year. A lemmy legend.

It's an amazing tool.

For your comics list, I'd suggest Dataview, quickadd, and templater plugins. With those three you could easily make a database with an entry mask, that automatically sorts the files into folders and sets metadata based on the mask input, and dynamically creates various tables for reference.

Folder notes could be useful too, depending how you want to set it up, and how detailed you want to have your tables.

Whatever you decide on, good luck. :)

This program rocks for any sort of organization.

Markdown files in folders, with all sorts of plugins for tweaking it to your use case.

But beware, Obsidian is full of rabbit holes. Don't get distracted by shiny plugins that you don't actually need.

Another reason to check out eOS. F-Droid is a standard source for the default app store, along with the usual play store apps. I just got a Fairphone 5 last week, an installed eOS. I'm loving it so far.

"In superconductors, the electrons act like two reticent people at a dance party. At first, neither person wants to dance with the other. But then the DJ plays a song that both people like, allowing them to relax. They notice one another enjoying the song and become attracted from afar – they have paired but have not yet become coherent.

Then the DJ plays a new song, one that both people absolutely love. Suddenly, the two people pair and start to dance. Soon everyone at the dance party follows their lead: They all come together and start dancing to the same new tune. At this point, the party becomes coherent; it is in a superconducting state.

In the new study, the researchers observed electrons in a middle stage, where the electrons had locked eyes, but were not getting up to dance."

This is an awesome ELI5.

Oh god I remember doing that too. Those "programs" were the best. I even mad sure to make the code long, so that even if someone thought to take a look at the code they would have to scroll for a while to find the notes.

It's about how they do it. They achieve this not only by being incredibly efficient through exploiting thier employees, but also by systematically destroying competition, and using thier marketplace to unfairly favor thier own products.

It's techno-feudalism, here's a great presentation/interview about it:
