I’ve enjoyed using the Simple Alarm Clock on F-droid, importantly for me, it requires you to hold down the shut off button for a couple seconds which helps prevent me from accidentally shutting off my alarm instead of snoozing it. Only downside for this app and possibly others is that they may not function if your device OS updates in the middle of the night.

Emulation Station Desktop Edition (ES-DE) is probably a good alternative gaming frontend similar to Playnite

Worse than this, was their logo video for Tony Hawk’s Underground, where Eric the rival character gets attacked and pulled into the sewers by the T.H.I.N.G. and gets reduced to bones.

Sounds like your best bet is to self host an email service

If it is M1 or M2 Asahi Linux is the way to go, but it is still in development and probably not ready for your mom

I have had success with the Simple Alarm Clock on F-Droid (not to be confused with the simple mobile tools apps). It has necessary basic features like custom alarms, increasing volume, and dismissing the alarm requires holding down “dismiss” so the chances of accidentally dismissing an alarm instead of snoozing it are much lower. The only time it seemingly failed me was after an overnight android update (samsung), where it didn’t work until the phone was unlocked.

I set up a VPN tunnel to my home network and use pihole to block ads which worked on this app too, so that wasn’t a problem but the audacity to remove my paid-for full access was astoundingly awful

On that note, I bought a GIF viewer app’s full version via in-app purchase and about a year later, they updated the app to have ads again regardless and my “full version no ads” app got ads again and now i had to buy a subscription per month to be “ad free” needless to say I uninstalled

Biometric login. It is available to an extent through fprint on Linux but support is not there for all hardware and it isn’t a very seamless experience to setup at the moment

Audacious with winamp skins, weening off windows’ foobar2000 as an old favorite, jellyamp, amberol occasionally

Love the look of this, would love to be able to use this on my current phone

Thomas (the Tank Engine) and the Magical Railroad is the first movie I remember watching. I was a big Thomas-head as a wee kid lol and that claw train guy was terrifying to me

Armcord is good and uses Vencord as well for plugins/theming. Webcord is another option that is primarily privacy-focused

There is a KDE flavor in development for vanilla but its not publicly available yet

Crazy how a 6 year old game is already releasing a “nostalgia” version.

As usual its just another shell on wheels. Nothing revolutionary here, just seems like another art project.
