Yeah you can make a new group chat that just has the two of you, so it would be separate from your other chat.

This one is feature rich, beautiful and actively developed, I've used it 2 years now: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

Thanks. You saved me of slop.

Nice. I'm trying Heliboard, Aurora, lavender and Breezy weather, which was mentioned in the article, but not on the list.

After being a Linux guy since the '90s, I just migrated from arch to freebsd and am liking it.

I can again state that I know what everything running on my system is there for and that I had a choice in the matter.

Running mangowm and misc sway bits, in case anyone cares.

The only thing that isn't working is sound over HDMI. But I have a headphone jack, so no worries.

I just started using KitchenOwl for this. It can be a little clunky, but it suits my purposes well.
Pros:

• self hostable
• multiple grocery lists
• categories and sorting are customizable (so I can put the categories in the order I shop in)
• sync across devices near instantaneous
• web and desktop interface

Cons:

• can be a little slow to add items. You can't just add text, you have to wait until the search is complete
• does not automatically combine the same item together
• occasionally when I switch to the app and mark an item complete, it doesn't take. Only happens on the first item on open and I just click it away again, so not a huge deal.

Thanks. I missed that. Because they didn't disclose it....

I so wish Gentoo/BSD still was a thing.

Can signal handle separate conversations between two people? Wouldn't want to clutter our texts with a grocery list.

Two quotes:

'UNIX is user friendly. It's just very picky about who its friends are' - Anonymous

'Not threatening you passes for user-friendly in OpenBSD' - Michael W. Lucas.

I really liked my time with FreeBSD
Looked quite organised

But I needed a Linux VM and somehow I couldn't get the hypervisor to work with anything but BSD

else, I really liked the system

Can't say much about other BSDs

I was barely technical enough to get Mint running so I don't think I'll be hopping on this particular train at the moment. But it's nice to see, though. And if it does turn out in a few years that putting AI into the kernel was a mistake, then I think we'll all be glad for all the projects like this that sprung up.

Hopefully they can give at least a little thought to user friendliness between now and then, lol.

I'm also not certain that I love their stance on AI and AI contributions

The more I read of the several BSDs, the more interested I become.

I can't tell if it's just that I want AI-free software, or I just want to be the most niche operating system user possible hahaha

Maybe both!

Really, though, I do like the design philosophy of BSD over Linux from what I can tell as a somewhat layman.

I softly suggest using a messaging app for this, like a signal thread where you delete items as they're picked up.

fossify's clock is fine

I went on a similar search when I ditched big tech a few years ago. I tried most of the options that were available at the time but I'm sure the landscape has changed now.

I've been happy with the shopping list manager built into https://github.com/TandoorRecipes/recipes with https://github.com/kitshn-app/kitshn

plasmalogin requires systemd.

As you said, gnome3 requires systemd.

That's just the start.

Remind me again, how many applications that use sound can no longer just use OSS and require Pulseaudio now?

Yeah. I can see the patterns. Can you?

I've never heard of Antares, but yeah servo isn't really ready for general use yet. I've never had servoshell just crash, but there's a lot of websites it doesn't display correctly yet.

Can't wait for the day I can fully switch to a browser using servo.

bloated yet empty

I could never have put it so succinctly; thank you.

damn, so good to see this. Thank you, enjoy!

I don't even think they're right, Fossify apps do actually use Material 3/You which has all that dumb stuff. Though they seem to be implementing it in a way that doesn't feel as bloated yet empty as other Material 3 apps.

I use ClockYou and it gets the job done. I would also be happy to know if there's something better out there.

Any tips on a "grocery list" app to replace Keep? Need something that can sync between mine and my wife's phones - E2EE nice to have but not strictly required.

A lot of the Keep replacements I see posted are just fancy text editors full of markdown formatting junk and I just want a good working checklist that moves checked items away.
