This is such a great list, saving and installing a few!

Adding on (and likely seconding a few):

  • 2048: game
  • Aegis: for 2Fa stuff
  • AntennaPod: second this one
  • AnkiDroid: Flashcards, the Anki project is huge and extends way past android. Worth exploring if you want/need to memorize things
  • Droid-ify: Fdroid client I use, but I keep the main app installed too
  • Eat Poop You Cat: game to be played in a group
  • Feeder: for RSS
  • FFShare: for compressing photos/videos before sharing
  • FlorisBoard: The keybaord I liked, although I don't use it full time
  • GPTAssist: Frontend for chatGPT
  • Material Files: File manager
  • Native Alpha: Have websites run like apps, while isolating each site
  • OpenFoodFacts: A bit buggy, but it's similar to OSM but for food
  • RetroStack: Another game
  • SDMaid SE: Same dev from the popular playstore one, is rebuilding a better one from scratch, AND it's now FOSS
  • SkyMap:
  • Survival manual
  • Termux
  • Translate You
  • UntrackMe: To redirect Tiktok/Twitter/Pinterest/etc. links to the frontends
  • URLCheck: Highly recommend getting this one to clean trackers from links
  • Unitto: Calculator of choice. I explored a bunch before settling on this one

For OSM specifically, I second the ones mentioned. Here are some other OSM related things: https://lemmy.ca/post/6586265

Intentional conspiracy, judging by who the author writes for

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The other comment by @[email protected] focuses on the contents of the article, which are more important. I took a peek at the author, Kit Klarenberg.

The author also writes for The Grayzone (thegrayzone.com/author/kit-klarenberg/), which gets posted on Lemmy occasionally. Among other questionable and misleading pieces, The Grayzone and Kit put out articles 'calling out' Bellingcat and TOR...

For the stuff below, if you have doubts in the source, please follow up on the linked sources each one contains. To be clear, we do need to hold these tools and services accountable. Spreading misleading content does not help with that. Even worse if it's intentional disinformation


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone

an American fringe,[7] far-left[19] news website and blog,[23] founded and edited by American journalist Max Blumenthal

The website, initially founded as The Grayzone Project,[24] was affiliated with AlterNet before becoming independent in early 2018.[4] It is known for its critical coverage of the US and its foreign policy,[1] misleading reporting,[25][26] and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes.[4][21][27][28] The Grayzone has downplayed or denied the Chinese government's human rights abuses against Uyghurs,[32] published conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria, and other regions,[33][34] and published pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.

Hah

As for AI doctors, I considered it early on but it seems less and less likely with each passing day. A more likely and reasonable outcome would be AI assisted care enabling healthcare providers to care for more people each. Ideally, hospitals and medical networks will run the custom generative tools locally and no patient data will leave the network. Reducing the busy work and admin load might also save money that could be used to hire more HCPs.

Of course, that societal benefit only happens in places where healthcare is not for profit. In places with for profit care, it just flows more money to the investor's pockets. Given who's saying this

Looking at the comments in that thread, people seem to agree that the question is silly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I assume all that happens on the server, so you couldnt do it locally

There are some self hosted options that do similar things

Interesting

I think my whole family uses few tabs. For me, once I can't read the titles easily, I start splitting them into separate windows and virtual desktops. Once I finish a task associated with a window I close it

It's so nice when I can restart the browser clean

When I start up, I right click on a folder and "open all in new tabs"

Then shift click to pin them again. Makes it easier to restart when I need to

Which generation leaves them open/closed?

I haven't noticed a pattern, but I also haven't really explored

Isn't that a concern with other tech too? If storage is cheaper, it would enable for more redundant copies

A lot of places just don't have backups. I'm thinking of hospitals getting hit with ransomware attacks, some are fine and just pull from backups and others shell out lots of money.

I'd love to see cheaper enterprise storage since it'll be easier to justify more backups. That single IT guy managing a hospital network could use a break...
