Hooray, it includes SingleFile!

In the sense I think you're asking, never: contributing a fix or an improvement is never a one-and-done, fire it off and forget it edit. Each contribution is a request to open a dialog. Implicit in each pull request are multiple questions, perhaps including "is this a good idea", and "do you like this attempt to do it".

If the project maintainer who reviews your PR doesn't like it, they can expend the effort to try to explain why, and teach you. So try to make their job easier, by opening with a clear explanation of why you're doing it, and if what you did involved design decisions, why you chose as you did.

I regard "smart" as an epithet I want to avoid in appliances. Light switches, thermostats, refrigerators, and all the rest seem to work great without adding internet connectivity, security breaches, corporate surveillance, and vendors removing functionality, or ending support to turn the appliance into e-waste.

I find keep terrifically useful. But it is not supported by Google Takeout, so when they turn it off, I'd lose everything. I'm currently trying out sNotz from f-droid as a replacement.

I got started with RSS using a TUI program on unix, whose name I forget. But then Google came out with Reader (and Listen for podcasts). When they lost interest and dropped them, I exported my OPML and switched to apps I could find on f-droid. Now I back up my OPML scrupulously and am currently happy with Feeder and Antennapod; Google taught me I didn't want to depend on someone else's server for something like this; it's too important. If ever I find I want some feature that requires a server, I'll self-host something (Nextcloud?), but I seem to be well enough served by purely local clients.

I really hate video, prefer reading. But by reading the material to a camera, people get paid by youtube, and then set up a patreon for buying access to the material they read. Everybody loses, hooray:-(

Thanks! That sounds like a fun exercise for my next phone

If this comes through, I might no longer need Iceraven (andoid firefox with full addon support, like before they tore it out; I use it for Singlefile)

For me, the key is FOSS. I was a keen fan of swiftkey, its word predictions worked great. Then it was bought by a company that I distrust, and when I was forced to choose another, I decided to try to ensure I'd never have to switch again.

A little while after I bailed on swiftkey, the news reports came that it was auto-filling random strangers' credit card numbers; I felt vindicated.

when I wanted a lemmy app, searching f-droid only pulled up Jerboa, and I remain happy with it.

I use jove (a small, lightweight emacs) within Termux, and M-X filter-region through sort

I'd love one. Preferably the opens-like-a-book style, not the vertical ribbon.

But I don't want to carry around something that costs that much. They're currently priced for someone with way more money.
