The Venn diagram of “FOSS app users” and “software enthusiasts” is closer to a circle.
Now this is the quote of the week for me 😂 It is mostly accurate, unfortunately, but I cannot stop giggling about it.

Beside concrete suggestions, I would suggest having a look at the applications you use. (Decide whether you actually use and need them first.) Search for the application on AlternativeTo or similar sites and look for a FLOSS alternative there. And also search the internet for general FLOSS replacements for the use-cases of the applications you use. No need to rush anything. Even replacing one application a week is good progress.
That is example that looking for new apps part I mentioned. I know there are FOSS Android video and proto editors. I just never needed any of them, so I don't know which one is better or worse, but I know there are a few I have heard about in recent years. I know I have seen several contacts and dialler apps on F-Droid. Time to check them out one by one and hopefully one will fit the needs with minimal concessions. Others in this post have already mentioned some apps. See if they might work for you, too. I wish you best of luck looking for the right apps for you.
ConcernedApe thought so, too ;) He works on Stardew his whole game development career. It is difficult to stop trying to improve the game and let your baby go after so long.
I think it is worth mentioning that there is an alternative for each one of Simple Mobile Tools apps. It will just mean we have to spend some time looking for such apps yet again. We as users of FOSS software must be always prepared to move from one application to another. This is why walled gardens, export to / import from open standard formats and in general easy replaceability of FOSS SW is important. This is just a sad fact about using FOSS where FOSS maintainers are just normal people, with all their needs, faults, and weaknesses.
Exactly the same happened to me. It just feels so natural. I run basically every single command with the Atuin up key. It is faster then typing it all again and again. Atuin is what the history search in terminal should have always been.
You can revert everything they have changed. Depends on what you want to change, however.
You can redesign toolbars to however you want them to be from View > Toolbars. You can revert to the message list (the main area with messages) by displaying a message list header with View > Layouts > Message list header and opening the Message list display options at the top right of the message list header and selecting the list view.
Similarly, there are toggles for everything else. Just keep clicking until you get the desired look. Try searching on the internet when you do not know where to find some option.
People are starting to comment on the topic and take notice? That is great to hear. It is not often that this happens when such a study is released. It might be that ordinary people who lack the knowledge on the subject may be able to comprehend the concerns regarding privacy in cars more readily than in other areas. Whatever the case is, I'm happy the discussion is finally happening.
Thank you for the information. I am using Aegis and will not move away from it – I have no reason to. I am completely content with the features it provides. However, I want to look at Authenticator Pro to see how it works, what features it brings and in general, how good the application is. If I like what I see, I will be able to provide an alternative to Aegis when I suggest a TOTP application for someone. I hope Authenticator Pro is great, so I can recommend it with confidence.
I would encourage you to try wefwef, too. If only to complete the collection of Lemmy apps you have experimented with. Mostly because wefwef offers a different UI to all other Lemmy apps, in my opinion. Some might like it, some might not, but it is nice to know what options there are.
But I agree with you. I do not use Liftoff even though I have it installed, but Lemmur was always beautiful and fun to work with in the past. Have fun ;)
Fun fact: When starting Liftoff, you can see an image of a lemmur. That was the original logo of the Lemmur app.
K-9 is rebranding as Thunderbird for Android, indeed. But since many users of K-9 expressed their desire to keep the logo and name of K-9, Thunderbird agreed to publish both versions: one rebranded as Thunderbird for Android, and the other keeping its original branding as K-9. We will see whether that will complicate things for Thunderbird team too much yet.
