Let's not forget Forgejo, a fork of Gitea. Self-hosted. It's CodeBerg's backend.

Google Translate allows you to run translations offline from the Android app.

Mozilla Firefox also comes with a beta offline translation engine. AI based, but since it's offline you can rest assured that it won't burn a small forest for every query. It's pretty good, albeit limited to a handful of languages.

1099$, seriously? 😅

Do you happen to own one? If yes, how do you feel about it?

For example, in the PineTime there is a heart rate monitor, but it's too slow and imprecise. Notifications work great, and the battery lasts 20 days or more. How about the Bangle.js 2?

Be warned though, the hearth rate monitor doesn't work particularly well. And there is no sleep tracking afaik.

If you'd prefer something more reliable (but less open), GadgetBridge is an Android app to interface with commercial smart watches through reverse-engineered protocols.

For reference, this is what the "Checking for Updates" page on the Pop!_OS store looks like for me. This icon feels out of place, that's why I assumed this is a placeholder that replaced the correct icon that went missing due to some kind of minor problem with my installation.

I assumed that's the "no icon" placeholder for Gnome. I saw it around as well.

In my experience, a great portion of competitive multiplayer games work. Although I have to admit that I mostly play games meant to be played among friends rather than against strangers.

If you are not talking about Steam, which comes with Proton out of the box, I'd recommend to give Legendary a try. It's basically the same thing, but with non-Steam games. And it's very user-friendly, like Steam.

GrapheneOS is certainly on my wishlist too, but Pixels are quite pricey. I guess Rethink is the poor man's version. Just a per-app firewall.

You should install Rethink and see how much garbage your phone constantly transmits and receives. And this is not even a kernel-level firewall, so who knows how much data Google actually exfiltrates...

I don't know about a constant audio stream, nor about keywords, but I noticed that Google Keyboard sends out some data every time you type anything. It's not even that subtle.

Me, apparently. I didn't know these were called metaballs :P
