I wonder if I'll live long enough to witness the Rust rewrite of ReactOS

(it's written in C and has had a snail pace development, well, since forever. not meant as a negative btw. it's just that their resources and demand for it are quite limited afaik)

The bot might just be more humane than any Israeli official

that's... false?

There is default encryption and you can enable stricter and contact storage and force highest transport encryption in the settings.
It also supports PGP

I don't think you understand what "open source" means then?

To put it simply: a programme using a license that guarantees certain freedoms.

Chromium uses such a license: the 3-Clause BSD license

please don't insult the FSF like that by comparing it to the LF...

The FSF might be unpragmatic and (thus) often horribly out of date, but it's neither opportunistic nor engaged in corporate bootlickery.

At some times it can even be dogmatic, but you can at least mostly depend on it keepig it's spine and vision!
(even if I partially disagree with it, as it's doctrine does not take political economy — and thus the root problem that is capitalism — into account)

Isn't that objectively a false statement?

yk you can backup your passphrase-protected gpg keys in one simple copy/paste command?

that's the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

and imo it's not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)

unfortunately Futo seems to only be source-available and not libre software :/

though I can +1 the Heliboard recommendation! idk when they added it but it finally has a multilingual keyboard function :)

I used to use Simple Gallery and later Fossify Gallery. Now that I have a device new enough for Accrescent to work on it I discovered Aves Gallery Libre.

It's much nicer and polished in many ways but I do miss some features sometimes

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker
