It's really good to see this spreading to more manufacturers (although I'm not sure if this will also apply to their lower range devices). Especially because even though your OS updates may be capped at 4 years, you will still receive app updates for 2+ more years, including system apps. As opposed to iOS, where your system apps stop at your last update and developers bump minimum OS versions quite quickly.

As @[email protected] said (https://lemmy.ml/comment/3459977), I believe they have different use cases. The TL;DR is: syncthing to have the same copy of a file across different devices, LocalSend to move files between devices directly.

On syncthing you have to upload the file to the synced folder and then download the file to your device, so like device A -> server -> device B.

Whereas on LocalSend you send the file directly between the devices, like device A -> device B.

In this case what I meant to say is that I practically don't have issues anymore. Apologies if it sounded confusing, English is not my first language.

LocalSend has been a godsend (pun intended) to me. I used Snapdrop/Sharedrop before, but it was always a coin toss if the transfer would work or not. I ended up switching to filedrop, but for some reason my transfer speeds were really low.

With LocalSend my issues have been all but resolved. I can send huge files between my pc and phone without fear of it disconnecting, and it works on my pc, old notebook, my dad's iPhone and my android phone. I really can't thank Tienisto (the creator) enough for what he built.

Yep hah

Nexus Mod Manager -> Vortex -> Nexus Mods App

In my country, they are mostly coming from less tech-literate users. I have seen:

  • It was installed without consent
  • You can't uninstall it
  • Google is installing for financial benefits
  • It's a virus that installed by itself
  • It's being used to spy on people
  • Useless app meant to fill phone memory

And many more colorful things.

GSMARENA Phone Finder is pretty amazing. You can filter by basically any phone characteristic you want. Back material? Yep. Refresh rate? Also yes. Proximity sensor? You got it. Minimum wired charging wattage? Sure, why not.

I've yet to find a more comprehensive one.

Edit: taking a look at Kimovil. It seems like it has much of the same filters as Phone Finder, but with the bonus of also showing price, which is nice.

Sadly, I don't think so. From what I could gather, it's just a local app.

I made a comment about this some time ago:

I came across GreenStash sometime ago.

If it's not what you are looking for, take a look at the "Expense Managers" section here. It lists both FOSS and proprietary apps.

Take a look in this thread: https://feddit.nl/post/1428354

Pocket Casts recently open-sourced both their android and iOS apps:

But the backend is still closed-source.

Couldn't agree more! That sub had some hilarious videos, I pray that one day we get a similar one here.
