Still a very cool project! Fun to play around with

If you haven't heard of the game Blood on the Clocktower, you should definitely check it out! It's a bit more involved than the other games on your list, but it's become my holy Grail of social deduction games

The pinebook's privacy switches (for WiFi/BT, camera, and microphone) operate at the firmware level, the operating system has no control over them

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pro#Privacy_Switches

The keyboard operates on firmware independent of the operating system. It detects if one of the F10, F11 or F12 keys is pressed in combination with the Pine key for 3 seconds. Doing so disables power to the appropriate peripheral, thereby disabling it. This has the same effect as cutting off the power to each peripheral with a physical switch. This implementation is very secure, since the firmware that determines whether a peripheral gets power is not part of the Pinebook Pro’s operating system. So the power state value for each peripheral cannot be overridden or accessed from the operating system. The power state setting for each peripheral is stored across reboots inside the keyboard's firmware flash memory.

A couple of favorites that are different from what others already said:

  • I strongly dislike autorotate on my phone so I always keep it off, however it makes perfect sense in apps like YouTube/Twitch. So I have one task that turns it on when opening one of those apps, and off again when closing them
  • When I've got Bluetooth headphones, I can choose to have incoming texts read out to me. Very nice when walking/running outside and not needing to pull my phone out
  • Similarly, I've got a task that will (optionally) read out the name of the song that's playing to Bluetooth

I also highly recommend libby, which lets you check out ebooks and audiobooks from your library. I don't have a kindle myself, but this help article says it's supported "Reading Kindle Books on a Kindle ereader"

You can also add multiple library cards, so if you wanted to go crazy you can find libraries that let you sign up for a card even if you don't have a local address and get access to both library's collections to read on your Kindle

Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks

I would love a source for this to pull up in future discussions

I also highly recommend the movie, one of my all time favorites (and not because of this scene)

Ack librefm completely slipped my mind

AFAIK they're two separate projects for the same/similar goal. I know ListenBrainz has a recommendation system, but it might still be in it's early days

There's ListenBrainz, the open MusicBrainz version of last.fm

Well shit. That hit deep.

Thank you.

You can even hook up tachiyomi to your home stuff through something like komga as another source
