Also I tried different potential usernames with a website that let me see in how many mainstream sites it was taken/available. SeerLite was the first one to not be taken anywhere, so I used that.

So this is where all these cats come from!! Thank you, mystery solved.
What I imagine when I think of a scenario like OP is the companies actively scraping Fedi profiles and posts and then using machine learning(?) to map the data to known users. Trackers wouldn't be necessary.
Of course, that's a lot of work and I doubt it's happening soon (if ever). Still interesting to think about.
Lists should be homogeneous while tuples can be heterogeneous.
Could you explain this bit, please? I've always understood that both can have both kinds of elements.
Do you mean that in the usual contexts they're used? Like: lists usually hold a variable number of things of the same type while tuples are sometimes expected to hold values of different kinds in a specific order. Something like that?
Running everything sandboxed even if the software that's being run is FOSS and comes from trusted sources doesn't sound too bad though. Just another layer of defense. What are the potential security issues this could cause?
Haven't tried it yet myself, but I've heard that Organic Maps is much smoother and faster alternative to OsmAnd~.
Don't you need access via adb and have debugging options enabled to even see the logcat?
Why would you want to bother creating a room on closed, proprietary and non-federated Discord? Haven't you heard of Matrix?
Especially 5, it's a really good point that I overlooked.
Well, here I go changing all my passwords again...
He said, that Signal server did not get a source code update since 2020. He was wrong. It did, this year February.
IIRC no, it was only updated recently. Git commits are shown chronologically according to their commit date, not their push date. So they could have committed back in February but only pushed recently.
A FOSS Music app that's as good as Musicolet. I got too used to its queue system that now I can't use any other music app that does it the more "traditional" way. Also multi-select, menus, options and search are just too well done in this app. Literally the best IMO.
The fact that it does so much and is still ad-free and mostly donation-based (iirc) also always makes me reconsider if going full-FOSS is actually worth it at all. It just feels like it was built with so much care... Similar to other non-FOSS apps I used to use.
I guess not everything that's proprietary sucks
Kakoune but I'm considering switching back to Neovim
