#ShowerThoughts we've pushed back against #SPOV (Single Points of Failure) in digital technology for years, and won:
* we defeated mainframes with personal computers and #InternetProtocols (TCP/IP)
* we defeated the #IBM monopoly on the PC with Windows-compatible generics
* we defeated #AOL and #Compuserve with the web protocols
* we defeated the #Windows monopoly with the #Linux kernel, which enabled OS diversity on user devices (#GNU, #Android, #Sailfish, and more)
#x86 processors are next.

@ademalsasa wow! #OCR is an incredible thing for a mobile app to be able to do. I hope it's compatible with #Android 4.x so I can try it out.

Maybe there is something that can be done with my ancient #Vodafone785 #Android device?

#IzzyOnDroid is an app repo for #Android, like #FDroid, but with slightly laxer policies about which apps it will distribute, and using the .apk compiled by the developers, not their own build from source code (as F-Droid do):

@dredmorbius this is a lot of trouble to go to for something that IMHO ought to be default app behaviour, and it doesn't look like something I can do on my unrooted #Android.

Any #Android dev out there looking for a new (and probably easy) project?
I just found Nextcloud Cookbook (/com/android/quickstep) which lacks an Android counter-part. Even "View only" would be great (for the kitchen). All data is stored in files, one sub-dir per recipe, well structured JSON for data (plus image files if there are any with the recipe).
Who takes the challenge and writes a small viewer?

I find #Riot really nice to use on #Android/Linux. It's a shame it's so ugly on GNU/Linux. Maybe something to do with fact it's a website wrapped in #Electron bloat? I'm really looking forward to a native #Matrix app for GNU/Linux, with a less eye-abusing GUI. Hopefully the work being done on apps for mobile GNU/Linux devices like the #Librem5 will also lead to more native app for the desktop.
