I haven't read Redemption Space and the White Space books yet. I'll definitely add those to my list now, thanks!

Thanks! Added it to my list.

Thanks! All of these stories sound interesting. Red Rising has actually been on my bucket list for a while now, but I've been hesitant to try it because the summary sounded like the "stumbling from one flawed decision to the next" thing I was mentioning earlier. Having another person suggest it here, makes me want to try it now.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've actually read that one and It's my favorite story from Brandon Sanderson. I loved the characters and the fantasy setting! But yeah... it doesn't really fit the sci-fi/futuristic world that I was looking for here.

Picture this: It's one of those perfect days in the shire. You are sitting in your armchair and smoking a pipe of haflings leaf. In front of you is the book with all your best memories. You open it and the first chapter is called Concerning Hobbits.

So... if I had to choose a goto song for my best memories, it would probably be this one.

As a lemmy client, I would add Eternity (APGL-3.0).

For latex documents I would highly recommend Overleaf (APGL-3.0). You can selfhost it on an old PC or raspberry pi and have crossplatform access on all your devices

A better alternative to F-Droid would be Neo Store (GPL-3.0) which has a more modern design and is less broken in general.

For apps that are only available as github releases (e.g. hypeBard) I would recommend obtainium (GPL-3.0) which automates the update process.

My personal preference for calculator apps is NCalcLibre (GPL-3.0) which has a slightly different set of features than your suggestion but has a more structured UI imo.

Text Tools Pro (Apache-2.0) is another awesome tool that can improve your typing experience dramatically.

If you have a degoogled device you might want to install FMD (GPL-3.0) in case you lose it.

For rooted devices, I would also add BCR (GPL-3.0) + BCR-GUI (GPL-3.0) to keep a record of important calls.

Another app that is especially useful on rooted devices is AdAway (GPL-3.0) which is a system-wide ad blocker that doesn't require any resources.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but you could use a website archiving solution to store one of those online man-page collections. I know it sounds like overkill, but it's actually easy to setup and can be used for all kinds of other things as well. For instance, I have a local docker container running SOSSE for C++ and Python references and for all kind of libraries and APIs I use for software development. This way I have everything I need on my laptop and can work anywhere, even if there is no network connection.

That's a good song as well, but for me personally, it's too far away from what I want in this playlist. Btw, if you like this Egyptian style EDM with big drops, you might like Scarab by Vairo. It's my favourite song of this type of music.

Those suggestions are on point! I added them both.

Germany's government has been slowly shifting towards neoliberal and reactionary politics for the last few decades. The SPD (the self-proclaimed "social democrats"), who currently have the most seats in the parliament, are not actually pushing for progressive policies but make concessions to neoliberal agendas whenever possible. Similarly to the US Democrats, they often act as a controlled opposition, focusing on liberal issues while dismissing progressive/left-wing policies. The Green Party, which holds the second-most seats in the cabinet, has some progressive voices but also has a history of supporting western hegemony when it comes to foreign policy (especially in the Middle East). Together with the aspects mentioned in the article, this is the reason why German politicians are so ignorant of the Palestinian cause and unwilling to push for any kind of long-term deescalation.

As someone born and living in Germany, I was expecting our politicians to act this way, unfortunately. What I, personally, didn't expect is how often progressive media outlets here are behaving like Jacobin describes them in the article. Hearing progressive/left-wing voices that I usually listen to, shaping the public discourse towards a more regressive/antisocial one is what terrifies me the most.

Anki is absolutely awesome. Since there is a large amount of community made decks, I found one that was specifically made for the book I used for learning Japanese. In addition to that, I also found a free Japanese-English dictionary app that had the option to add words as flashcards to a specified Anki deck. Even though it doesn't have the most modern looking or intuitive UI, Anki is my main tool for learning Japanese because there are so many useful integrations and a large community behind it, and it is completely free.
