Love me some Jitsi. The app, and website, make it easy to just start a secure, anonymous call with pals. No weird AI models running in the background like Teams or Zoom.

"We did the back-of-napkin math on what ramping up this experiment to the entire brain would cost, and the scale is impossibly large — 1.6 zettabytes of storage costing $50 billion and spanning 140 acres, making it the largest data center on the planet."

Look at what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power.

I would highly consider leveraging the AsteroidOS project -- a privacy-focused linux smart watch effort -- on one of their approved devices. That link should bring you straight to the watches they support.

Pine Time works well with Pine Phone, but only has basic functionality with other Android devices, like notifications. Not much else last I looked, but I may be out of sync with the community's development efforts.

The Bangle.js 2 smart watch is another open source device you could look into.

Do you need to download an anti-virus for Android?

So my workplace is mostly iPhone users and someone asked me what kind of antivirus software I used on my Android, and I said "none" and he flipped out about how unsafe it was.

Maybe against the grain, here, with all the comments saying No, but: If you were interested in trying something out, I would give Hypatia a go. It's a FOSS-based app, available on F-droid. It's basically a ClamAV front-end. Pulls from their signature lists for Android, alongside other more general AV signature lists. Just an option.

Photopea -- online, but can be used as a PWA. One of the best! Answering here, as well. Saw your other post.

Super cool. What command / package are you using on Termux to generate that info in the widget?

Likewise, I think FF has (or will have?) a native capability to translate, as well:

Think if we dried them off with a towel or something, they'd still be good? I have a towel sometwhere. Hold on.
