I consider obsidian a knowledge base, rather than a note taking app. I use both apple notes and obsidian for different purposes.

Barbie still can’t decide what to do with those annoying bangs.

Weak

It’s a really great app. Very smooth works flawlessly and voice quality is great. Also very reasonably priced compared to competitors (no subscription).

I would also add KDE Connect to my list. Not as full featured as android version but useful to quickly transfer files/photos between the computer and phone.

Some of my favourite apps:

1. Voyager - Apollo like web app for Lemmy.

2. Bitwarden - Password manager, I prefer this over keychain as it is accessible on all devices.

3. 2FAS Authenticator - Authenticator app with a handy browser extension.

4. Firefox Focus - Privacy browser as well as an ad blocker that integrates with Safari.

5. FileBrowser - Handy for accessing cloud or samba storage not supported by the iOS files app. Has some other cool features too.

6. Mobius Sync - Syncthing for iOS devices.

7. OnlyOffice - Good Google docs alternative, makes it convenient to quickly access and edit a document/spreadsheet on mobile.

8. Voice Dream - One of my favourite apps. May be special use case, but great app to read and listen to books and other documents.

9. Obsidian - Knowledge base. May be special use case again, but as a student I can’t properly function without it.

10. HereWeGo Maps - Good offline alternative/backup to Apple Maps.

I tried this about a year ago. It was noticeably slower than the native chrome browser also a bit of a pain to manage downloaded files. Still pretty handy to be able to run Linux applications on ChromeOS. I used libre office quite successfully for a time.

Remember when Google’s motto was “Don’t be evil”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I believe someone else in this thread has mentioned this already, For most people the feature set on phones has been stagnant for many years. Most users have their use case met already and additional features are really just bloat (for the most part). Not all people are into tech, and a phone is simply a tool. And therefore don’t always want/need the latest and greatest.

Believe it or not, some people aren’t big on over consumption and want things to last. Companies should do better and not produce crap that’s going to end up in landfill in a few years.

Did anyone else think this was a headline from The Onion?

Good explanation. Even if their long term support doesn’t work out it’s nice to see a trend towards long term support and reduction of e-waste.

These companies know a good portion of their customer base won’t be bothered canceling a service if it’s mildly inconvenient to do so. Hey, I guess it’s easier than innovating and providing a good or service that people actually want to pay for.

This is really good to hear. The worst thing about mid range android phones is the lack of future software support. Even flagship androids aren’t anything to write home about. As much as people like shitting on apple, they support their devices for quite a while compared to other manufacturers.
