 *very slow and deep sigh* "Supported languages vary by browser. You can translate with a microphone in Chrome and there’s limited support in Safari and Edge." First of all: Firefox is not even worth mentioning, apparently. Second of all: why would a browser not support voice input if you're processing it on the back-end anyway?? 12 comments
My favourite piece of proprietary software is probably Total Commander for Android. It's a powerful no-nonsense file manager. Regex file search? No problem. Connecting to a Samba share? There's a plugin for that! Nextcloud via WebDAV? Also a plugin! But if there's an open source file manager for Android that checks all these boxes I'd be interested to know :blobfox3c: TrackerControl from F-Droid is a really nice system-wide tracker blocker for Android that makes you ask questions like "Why does my alarm clock need telemetry?" :blobfoxthinkgoogly: (I like that one alarm app specifically for its power user features so thankfully I can just deny network access to the whole app with one toggle in here) I don't say this very often but A single company owns most of the major antiviruses Oh, there's already a Firefox extension to add the AI-free plain web search mode of Google! Ah... Okay, so one disadvantage of setting your browser's search to be Google's new "Web" mode is the same as its advantage: it doesn't do anything but web results so e.g. currency conversion also doesn't work :blobfoxmelt2: Do I just keep DuckDuckGo? Its results aren't great, especially for images. https://goblin.tools/
This is great! It's a set of productivity tools (not just) for people with executive dysfunction. The main one is a to-do list where you add a task and it helps you break it down into more manageable subtasks. You can even set how detailed a breakdown you want! It's actually a kinda neat use of language models. |

Sometimes I'm surprised by websites that load "suspiciously" fast but then quickly remember that it's the speed websites should be loading at if they weren't full of unneccessary JS :blobfoxmelt:
