The title is misleading. Article says, currently location sharing is a Google Maps feature and it will become a Google Play Services feature, not an Android feature.

Google Play Services is NOT the only way you can use Android.

Please correct me if I'm wrong I haven't used Google Maps nor Play Services for years. MicroG is good enough for me.

If a moderator is from a different instance, can they effectively moderate? So isn't it a problem if all moderators would be from different instances?

I remember after the exodus community discovery in Lemmy was hard, and it made sense to create instances like these. But nowadays with Lemmy Explorer and with multiple community promo communities I think it's not really hard to find the topics you are interested in.

My bank's 2FA works only via their app or via SMS. For SMS I would have to pay per each received SMS.

The app perfectly works without safetynet, with microG, rooted with magisk but hidden by zygisk, so I'm lucky. At one update they added a popup at start after login about asking to add my card to Google Wallet (or whatever it's called nowadays), and it's not implemented in MicroG, so I can't open it since that version. I just downgraded to the last working version and blacklisted its upgrades in Aurora, and I hope they won't block my old version in the near future.

It's a very progressive small local bank, I will contact them about this issue if they block my old version to make that dialog optional.

Grocy has a recipe feature, it can even recommend you recipes based on what you have in your fridge: https://grocy.info/#recipe-details It can run on your server or you can use it a standalone desktop app. It's a full systems to manage your fridge, e.g. it notifies you if something will expire soon.

But I think four use case any wiki or note manager software would be enough. You can hyperlink there ingredients for example.

These are self hosted, but you can use your desktop as a server, and a lot of them works completely offline:

No license file (yet?), but source code (or something like that) is on github: https://github.com/EmissarySocial/bandwagon

It seems like it's an example app built with the Emissary Social Toolkit: https://emissary.dev/ https://github.com/EmissarySocial/emissary AGPL3

Yes, that was in the original article: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111886558855943676

Yeah, wiki says it's 6000 pages. But that's not that long compared to other similar file standards, and it also contains pptx and xlsx.

For comparison PDF standard is about 1000 pages, HTML (without CSS, just pure HTML) is 1500 pages.

I used it a long time ago, but it always worked flawlessly.

Why do you need an app? What is the problem with plain old websites?

Pro tip: use an rss reader and you can read multiple "apps" at one place!

If you still need apps for some reason, you can install/add to homescreen websites, and if they are set up correctly they will behave like an app.

Find something which has native linux version as well, e.g. passmark performance test.

Run on win, linux and win version in wine. Comparing the 3 results you can figure out if wine is the problem, or some settings in linux if wine and linux results are similar
