Look into fcast (its Foss)

I do the same thong when legitimatel services text me for marketing or surveys.

It's fun that I can't decide if that's a deeply insightful yet misplaced shot at mattel for having a small role in developing a fairly common sex toy material or a series of spelling errors.

I just use nano for taking notes

Next step is the alarm app setting an alarm to remind you to set an alarm.

For real though, these machines are here in service to me, not the other way around. I'm the one calling the shots, get onboard with that or I unplug yo ass.

I personally use a self hosted instance of kitchen owl https://kitchenowl.org/ I really like it's simplicity and use it quite a lot and nobody has access to the data but me.

I recommend FOSS for absolutely everything you use if possible.

Modern apps out here with the confidence of a CEO and the usefulness of a CEO

"I have been a good bing" is engraved into my mind forever

Obsidian is on my phone and all my computers. It is sync'd between them. I keep all my shopping lists, todos, recipes, and so on in it. It never notifies me about shit. It opens instantly. Its very easy to find and edit anything I need.

It would truly be a miracle for an app to be better at keeping lists than I am with a markdown file. And it also keeps track of a bunch of other things for me. I even had an encrypted file in it with my passwords stored, but I've sanely moved on to Keepass for that, a rare case of an app actually offering enough additional security and functionality to be worth it.

My girlfriend and I share lists on ours, she can add things and I can see them for when I go to the store. In theory cause she usually has to tell me.about it first so I remember to look at it. Makes Xmas food shopping much simpler. I suppose there is a text sharing one but so far 'ourgroceries' ( think that's right) only bugs me to buy the full app when I use it, but otherwise no biggie. Plus you can disable notifications from apps anyways, least I thought so, cause I probably had one from there and said nope, don't care. Maybe it tells you when someone else put something there if they are on, oh well if I'm missing them too cause we talk still heh.

Ja. Ich habe Deutsch gelernt. Kaffee mit Milch, bitte.

I've been using it for years, but only for ~10 minutes a day. Obviously it can't teach you to speak it, but to read and write? Absolutely. The secret is to NEVER install the app. My philosophy is that if it has a website then everything should be doable via the website, and I won't install the app.

NOTHING should urge you to install their app, unless it actually cannot function properly on a, say, desktop PC. In case of a trekking and hiking app, I understand it only works properly knowing your location (I would still be terribly paranoid about what else it does with my location info, apart from recommending paths and whatnot). But other than that, I always assume that when something could be perfectly done via a website and they still push their app, they just want to sell your data.

And believe me, using Duolingo via the website is definitely less frustrating than having the app.
