I much prefer OsmAnd. Organic maps is too simplistic for my taste.

I used to use it, but now use Weather Master that's available through izzyonddroid. It's even more aesthetically pleasing imo and also let's you choose from more sources.

I understand the reasoning for it since many apps can see photos on your device so if it is something that should stay private you probably shouldn't be taking screenshots anyway, but I also can see how it could be annoying. I quite like the feature on messaging apps actually.

 

So I know that there is Lemmy redirect and linksheet with which you could technically open Lemmy links in your preferred app, but there has got to be a better way. This should definitely be a feature that gets added since the possibility of your actually finding a post from your own instance on Google(or duckduckgo) is very slim. I can't imagine Lemmy gaining much of a following before flaws like this are ironed out.

That's what I'm also doing – using a junk old laptop as NAS and it's been pretty great so far. What would you recommend for expanding the storage of it? It has a SATA 2.5" port and I believe an nvme SSD slot. From past experience, the bigger 2.5" HDDs are slow and have a high failure rate. Maybe it's just time to ditch the old laptop.

I mean isn't it already that is included in the datasets? It's pretty much a mix of everything.

Obsidian is great though, even if it's not open-source. The stability of alternatives is not at the same level from what I've heard.

Mobilecoin (lemmy.zip)

Anybody have any experience with mobilecoin? What is the use case for it? Seems kind of pointless and a lot more tedious than just a bank transfer. Why does signal include crypto nonsense in their app (I like crypto, but just can't see any reason why it should be integrated in the app). I'm sad that signal does not have support for 3rd party open source clients that could remove such features. Why not add support for monero instead?

If you're not opposed to apple then I would suggest getting an iPad – they are actually really completely priced compared to phones.
