Hey! I guess I'll get some conversation started, this interests me too and I've been doing the same the last few years. I added a page to my site [0] to keep updated with all the tech I use so I'll do some copy-pasting of some standouts. Note that I use Linux and Android, no Apple products here.
- EndeavourOS - easy to install arch-based linux distro
- KDE - desktop environment
- Framework 13 - repairable laptop
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold - my fancy phone cause I like reading books with pictures
- Firefox - web browser (but shoutout to zen browser)
- Kagi - search engine
- BitWarden - password manager
- Dark Reader - dark mode for any site
- Indie Wiki - redirects to non-fandom wikis (cause fandom is cancer)
- AppFlowy - workspace tool (eg. open source notion)
- Notesnook - encrypted note-taking app
- GitLab - open source code hosting platform
- SourceGit - my git gui of choice
- Godot - game engine
- Zed - rust-based code editor
- Claude Code - anthropic's ai coding assistant
- REAPER - daw of choice
- OBS Studio - streaming and recording
- Astro - the static site generator that built my site
- Cloudflare Pages - site hosting
- Ghost - used when a family or friend needs a simple site or blog
I tried to use Thunderbird as my email client but I kept defaulting to webmail, but that seems like a good option as you're looking for an email client.
Every time a new iPhone comes up people on hacker news pine for a new mini, which I understand. But everytime someone has to bring back up that the 12 and 13 minis were the worst selling sku two gens in a row, with at one point the 13 mini only attributing to 3% of 13 sales [1].
I'm sorry, but the market has spoken. And there's Android phones in that form factor if you really want it.
I'm no Google apologist (I use ecosia personally), but did you try using searching in quotes? That should force the search to only find specifically your query directly as spelled. Just curious if you did try it and there was still that "fuzziness."
I've kept TB Beta installed but still go back to FairEmail. But I'm not an email power user, I really only stick to it because the widgets are better. No dark mode for the K9/TB widget is a dealbreaker. And even then FairEmail goes beyond that in allowing transparent widgets.
In this case I had completely missed the bad smell, so I appreciate the comment cause it prompted me to look up the whole situation. yikes. I was already planning on moving to another fork soon since I wasn't using most of floorp's power features, so this just expedited that.
Also from your language it sounds like you're a Waterfox dev? If so thanks for all your hard work on open source software! I haven't tried waterfox in years, I will definitely give it a go after uninstalling floorp.
