  • i started to use ubuntu touch on a pixel5 in 2020. did this for almost two years until the phone broke down. it also was my first smartphone. so it opened up new possibilities.

    i switched to a google free android after this. honestly i miss ubuntu touch from time to time especialy for its keyboard. i never used banking apps or the like, but even now there is one app i need some workarounds. so yeah. i guess the linux phone is viable for me. i just didn’t want to go for second hand hardware this time. and at the time the phone i went for wasn’t yet supported by ut.

    haven’t had a look into the linux phone for a while. but will definetly, the next time i need to switch phones





  • litghter, as in smaller, yess. but keep in mind, that vector graphics need to be rendered, wich depending on circumstance and graphic might become inefficient.

    i never crunched the numbers, but basically youre outsourcing the generation of a rastergraphic to those who open up your website.







  • of these memrise seems the best to me. no fancy animation, you have to wait for (unlike drops), it works well in browser, and gives you a lot of freedom.

    plus has the least awful/annoying free trial of all :)) (i ignored all, that wanted my credit card first.)

    i do second the notion, that flashcards really do not need to be a subscription model, anki for example is great, there are a lot more apps like it, flashcards can be realised as a simple python script even!

    really anything aside of vocab repetion is what makes these services worth it. and i guess i like the conversations feature memrise offers. (i played around with one of the big languages. i’m sure the ai features are clunkier with less popular langs?

    babble of course is amazing. really anything that pairs you with natives is s-tier.
