congratulations. i thought that the comment above yours was the worst but you beat it by a mile.

thanks for this very exhaustive list. this is the first time ive heard of sewer divers - with no PPE - sounds terrible.

cant choose one because i enjoy using a lot of them:

1. bitwarden
2. inkscape
3. kdenlive
4. nextcloud
5. organic maps
6. signal games
7. shattered pixel dungeon
8. openttd

in my country too. and whats irritating is that most businesses and government services use it too . instead of, you know, improving their websites?

i sort of get them, actually. as a nontech person who shifted to Linux out of necessity, i just wanted it to work.
i dont have to imagine not knowing what a kernel module because i still dont, despite using it for years.

thanks, OP. that was such a nice read.
mine is: having dinner with the woman i loved. we sat beside each other and talked the night away. it was punctuated by laughter and every word just seemed right.
reality is we dont talk anymore.

my first foray with linux was Xubuntu. transferred to MX Linux since but stayed with xfce. looking into having a go with xfce Debian. so satisfied with this DE, am not even tempted to try others.

i first considered this when maps.me went to shreds. for a while, i used both organic maps and osmand for my cycling trips. the cleaner interface of organic maps won me over. my main gripe at that time was the absence of a route import function. the dev team added that recently. now, i can import both kml and gpx formats.
now, if there is a way to save the in-app planned routes, that would be a huge help.

as someone who has not learned anything about Malaysia lately, may i ask you to elaborate?

the word 'boats' was used for their vessel, id imagine it is not something cannon-capable. /s
on a more serious note, Chinese vessels have also been reported to harass Philippine fishermen (who obviously cannot fire back. and sadly, were told to shut up by the Chinese-loving previous administration)

im using memmy and thunder. i would like to try the other apps on my ogse but they all require the latest iOS. i also like pixelfed but could only browse it using pixeldroid in android because of the same reason.
if its not unreasonably difficult, i hope devs will consider compatibility with older systems as some of us are not using the latest iphones.

Have considered this but i have not yet started looking up anonymous ways to donate. Suggestions where i could start - eg how to anonymize credit card information online? If not anonymize, minimize personal info at least?

first thing i thought of was Naruto (early chapters).

agree. every time Linux games are mentioned in a thread, i always bring up 0AD. great design and soundtrack.

last i used it, it became a slow, resource-hogging, ad-riddled, bloated mess.

i was thinking of donating to the projects i use a lot - inkscape and kdenlive. thanks for suggesting Monero, which was also suggested by another user. unfortunately, i dont have cryptocurrency. maybe i will just use cc for these donations.

Feeder user here. agree with the paywall. not just in-app, a lot of good content is walled if accessed though browsers. of course i can revisit my feeds and remove the walled ones but then it would take a lot of time to check them one by one (added per topic).
such a let-down to be teased by a paragraph or two of good writing only to be stopped by a paywall below.
is like the blueball of reading

thanks for suggesting Monero, however i dont use cryptocurrency because we are still very cash dependent where im from.

thanks for this suggestion. like one-time-use cards? nice. this is new to me. i will ask my bank if they offer this service.

guess i can just use my credit card details. i trust the devs more than paypal. hahahahaha. i mean, they have done so much good already.

it has been a while since i read the manga but i think there was a long list of them. there was sand gourd guy for one.

yup. in my mind, ka is included in the aka
