I do think we may be over-prescribing these to a certain degree, but I know people whose lives are impacted for the better due to medication for ADHD, for example. Its easy to understand when you see someone with severe symptoms one day, then calmer and more focused the next.
I mean there are restaurants and a hotel, though.
Wholeheartedly agree!
I have had some time to think about it, and I should have included the word systemic instead of serious. I still stand by my overall point with regard to what the idiom actually means. I don't believe that its a good thing to misrepresent something just to prove a point.
I kind of think this is also a bit misleading. Isn't the point of the phrase that you should remove the bad apple lest it affect the rest. As in, "If you leave the bad apple in the barrel it will spoil the bunch. So remove it before it does." I don't quite think that its really being misappropriated.
From your link a translated original proverb:
“Well better is a rotten apple out of the store
Than that it rot all the remnant."
So, by that logic, if you get those bad apples put before they spoil the bunch then they were "just bad apples".
To be clear I'm not saying the phrase isn't being used to minimize serious issues. But the point of the phrase wasn't that one bad apple means the entire bunch is already rotten, but that you need to remove the bad elements before the rot spreads.
My comment wasn't meant to negate yours. Waydroid was great to mention!! It is and can be very useful to accomplish alot. I just wanted to clarify that it, unfortunately, can't be used as a full replacement for Android or one of its derivatives.
edit: grammar
Waydroid is nice and even indispensable for me, but you can't use any banking apps, for example.
Smart! Since posting my answer, I've been looking at it and I was planning in doing just that or something similar. I already upload my photos to Nextcloud just as a backup mechanism without the Photos app installed. I could easily set this up tonight to test. Thanks for the tip!
Same person answering from Lemmy because character limit.
I don't know much about digiKam, but looking at it got me interested in checking it out! One problem I have with Immich is that there is really good Android integration with its app, but poor Desktop integration (I use a web app).
For Immich, I suppose you could mount an external library and use that same folder for digiKam. Immich will store its own set of files in its data structure for the external library, not the pictures just it's own metadata as I understand it. Any changes will be reflected in Immich after a library scan. (I will be trying this option soon.😁)
You could do the same with Nextcloud by just mounting the Nextcloud drive and setting its photos folder as the folder for digiKam, I suppose. You would be losing out mainly on Android integration with the Immich app. I can't whatever the opposite of recommend the Nextcloud options enough.
This is the way.
What I have installed:
From Obtanium:
- Most Fossify Apps
- Nextcloud
- Material Files
- Immich
- DAVx & ICSx (nextcloud contacts and calendar sync)
- DNS66
- Jellyfin
- Spotube
From FDroid (really droidify from various repositories)
- FUTO Voice Input
- Breezy Weather
- K-9
- Libera Reader
- FFUpdater
- Joplin
The list is massive and I'm on mobile and hate tiny keyboards. I can finish the list later if you/y'all are interested. The only thing that I actively use that is not FOSS on my phone is Google Messages, which I guess is a bit hypocritical, but its too good. Just the ability to react to messages makes it worth it for me.
I also highly recommend Grayjay. It is the best (IMHO) YouTube replacement. It is cross service, like I have odysee, nebula, youtube, and various peertube instances added as sources.
As far as what apps to watch out for, someone mentioned Simple Mobile Tools. Otherwise, I would stay away from apps that are not being updated anymore or are otherwise way too old.

~~British~~ colonialism bad.
This goes far before the British. Before the British, there were the Mughals. This part of the indian culture is old and predates either of these two. The caste system has been around forever.
Edit: Bit of clarity.
