It is definitely worth looking at. I am working with mostly blog posts RSS feeds, but this might come useful one of these days, too. Thank you for the suggestion.

Exactly. Otherwise, DecSync would be perfect (and I even used DecSync in the past).

Aha, I haven’t thought about using the same Linux application. This approach might be worth investigating. Thank you for the idea.

My only gripe with RSS is the usual dependency on a synchronization server (whether it is a 3rd party server or self-hosted). I have been searching for way too long for a local-first RSS application for both Linux and Android which would store the RSS feeds (as in, the downloaded posts) in a local folder that could be then synchronized between Linux and Android applications using Syncthing or similar. Sadly, still no results. Anyone know about something?

As a researcher, I am very happy that recently all the conferences and journals we usually publish to champion open access publishing. Due to this, all my work is currently FOSS and all the papers open access. That is a great change to the papers of the past where you have to have an affiliation to a university to get access to a paper and sometimes even that is not enough.

I especially appreciate that the graph is designed as “Linux” and “Other” instead of “Windows”, maybe “MacOS” and “Other”.

Librera Reader is the best reader I have had the honour to try. I have been using Librera Reader for several years now, and I think it is safe to say I love the app. It is actively maintained, and new features are added continuously. There are plenty of settings to allow you to modify the user experience exactly to your liking. If you are considering reading any e-books or PDFs on your Android devices, give Librera Reader a try. It is a fantastic app.

The Venn diagram of “FOSS app users” and “software enthusiasts” is closer to a circle.

Now this is the quote of the week for me 😂 It is mostly accurate, unfortunately, but I cannot stop giggling about it.

Beside concrete suggestions, I would suggest having a look at the applications you use. (Decide whether you actually use and need them first.) Search for the application on AlternativeTo or similar sites and look for a FLOSS alternative there. And also search the internet for general FLOSS replacements for the use-cases of the applications you use. No need to rush anything. Even replacing one application a week is good progress.

ConcernedApe thought so, too ;) He works on Stardew his whole game development career. It is difficult to stop trying to improve the game and let your baby go after so long.

Exactly the same happened to me. It just feels so natural. I run basically every single command with the Atuin up key. It is faster then typing it all again and again. Atuin is what the history search in terminal should have always been.

That is true and might be the reason the study is successful at raising public awareness about the topic.

People are starting to comment on the topic and take notice? That is great to hear. It is not often that this happens when such a study is released. It might be that ordinary people who lack the knowledge on the subject may be able to comprehend the concerns regarding privacy in cars more readily than in other areas. Whatever the case is, I’m happy the discussion is finally happening.
