From official F-Droid & IzzyOnDroid repos (except for Molly):

1. Aegis Secure + encrypted 2FA

2. Calculator++ Powerful scientific calculator

3. Clipious or FreeTube Android Clipious: Privacy focused invidious client that syncs with your account and lets you pick backup instances in case yours goes down FreeTube: Ad-blocking cross-platform privacy-focused YouTube client that imo looks better than NewPipe + Clipious

4. FluffyChat (if you use Matrix) Secure, private (although not as good as Signal), client for Matrix (the messaging service) that imo looks better than Element and lets you seperate rooms + DMs, which some clients don’t let you do iirc as well as a couple other features like pinned messages and video calls.

5. HeliBoard Best open source keyboard I’ve used so far

6. KeePassDX KeePass compatible password manager

7. Moshidon and/or Mastify Mastodon clients. Mastify looks really good but is till in Alpha releases so is missing quite a bit of features. Moshidon is extremely feature rich.

8. Molly Security-focused fork of Signal

9. Podverse My personal favourite podcast app, run by 1 person afaik with a lot of free features, or a very cheap paid plan that is basically just a donation because it only adds like 2 features that I can remember. Has a very generous trial too and the dev has said if you can’t afford it they’re willing to adjust pricing for you.

10. QUIK SMS Best actively maintained, open source SMS client.

11. Twine Beautiful cross-platform RSS feed app.

I’m using Firefox + uBlock Origin and don’t have a paywall.

What adblocker are you using? It doesn’t appear for me.

yeah, youre probably right

Ah, my bad. I thought that OP meant a bot to convert torrents to DDL.

It not being different to Discord is half the problem.

Why not? Because it’s probably slower, it’s yet another propietary service you have to rely on, and it defeats the purpose of using a torrent to start with.

Unless you have a specific reason to use Telegram, I’d avoid it.

lol sounds like you do, good on you. I’ve been listening to them for a bit and I really like them. I’ll be checking them out some more later, thanks again for the great comments!

Wow, nice. I love it when people are clearly so interested in what they’re writing about.

Sounds like I’ll start with Planned Obsolescence then, and work my way through their stuff. Thanks for such solid recommendations. :)

same- went straight from Lorna Shore into Lil Darkie earlier lmao

I’ve been meaning to listen to Gojira for a while- what album/song/whatever do you recommend I start with?

Wake Up & It’s Over - Lovejoy (although the singer has had some stuff come up about him being nasty with his ex girlfriend recently)

Soul Elegy - Termina

Take Me Back To Eden - Sleep Token

Fatalism - Polaris

ANALYSIS PARALYSIS - MAY-A

Post Human: Survival Horror - Bring Me The Horizon

Euthanasia - Stray From The Path

List is a genre trip and a half. Nice picks :)

Ah yeah, that sounds about right.

Didn’t Mullvad ban torrenting?

edit: looked it up, looks like they didn’t. Can’t remember what I read that said they did.

and about a billion similar ones.

Isn’t this an anti-ddos page? Happens all the time at my school because we’re 3000 people using one connection.

People don’t know about GIMP and are allergic to trying new things.

Also speaking as someone who started with GIMP and then had to use PS for a class the change of UI is really painful if you are used to something, given how complicated photo editors are.
