So I'll contribute with my list too.

Most used utilities apps:

• MJ PDF
• Barcode Scanner
• Simple Gallery
• Unexpected Keyboard: for programming/CLI stuff
• yetCalc: Calculator and units converter
• Acode editor: Android code/text editor
• Termux
• OsmAnd: Maps and navigation software (Using it from play store because I pay a subscription to support the devs while doing hiking)
• Copy to clipboard: Add an action in Android "share to" to copy shared text to clipboard
• Coffee: Utility to force keep screen on for a configured delay
• LinkSheet: Allow to configure App chooser properly for URL opening even with Android 12+

Games (because it can help fighting boredom when in a waiting room or so):

• Nonocross: Nonogram puzzle, with random generator
• Anuto TD: Tower defense game (dev says ugly, I don't agree ;))

I recently started using Duck Duck Go instead of Google.

I still had this thought that Google was the best technology as I went from the early web (remember... altavista.digital.com, yahoo, ...) and I remember that Google was really a game changer when it started to become popular.

I tested setting DDG as default search engine in my desktop and mobile browsers, thinking that when I don't have expected results I would go to Google... I never had to switch to Google because I was wrong, DDG is as good as Google while being better from privacy point of view.

For the browser I use Vivaldi on both android and desktop.

The Ukraine-Russia war because I live in western Europe and fear the possible consequence (some already occurred like energy and goods prices raise).

D. J. Trump justice issues since I think that's important for judging the health of our democracies.

It could be nice for transparency purpose to publish a list of reasons for each blocked instance. ( Could be even better if Lemmy supported that out-of-the-box but I don't think this is a top priority right now).

Didn't knew this existed at all, will look at this definitely because I have problems with usb C plug on my phone that doesn't hold very well the connector...

Seems fair, understood the objective and the fact you're not closed to change your mind later. If you have no plans to defederate with instance hosting boys I think it's not a bad thing to have instances for bots and other for human users only...

Exactly this is the problem, when I talk non-geek (including my wife) about privacy they answer "what the hell have you to hide !" ... It's so difficult to convince people :'(

As almost everybody seems to agree (with regards to the comments on this post), why don't you simply state that reddit repost bots are forbidden on this instance and not generalize to each and every bot while there can be some useful use-case for news, aggregation from other Lemmy communities or so... I have the feeling that talking about reddit related stuff become a bit the elephant in the room...

And I'm now free from Twitter (well in 30 days...) 🎉🍾🍺

Tried with Feeder as RSS client and seems to suit my use

Haven't thought about RSS for years but yeah it's a good idea.

Completely agree with you, some slight difference should be applied to this rule to state clearly what should be avoided and what is valuable.
