Gnome because it is the default in my district, works right out of the box and I’m too old to fart around with customizing things anymore.

I just want to get to work.

I’m not sure about libre office, but Excel has lookup and lookup. I’ve not personally used those. But might be of help.

I have the same issue. I want something simple but has encryption, native mobile apps for both Android and iOS, and threading. Facebook style posts with comments would be great.

For now we’re using matrix and element bc I can find anything better. Unless something more compelling comes along we’ll probably migrate to something xmpp based like snikket.

Has anyone tried selfhosting ente photos? Curious how well it works.

I am one of those gifted folks that enjoy astigmatism. I have tried dark mode and dark themes many times over the years and it just doesn’t work for me. The screenshots are gorgeous tho!

Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I’ve been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.

Item1: I would love something along these lines. Honestly, I wish I could configure Thunderbird to be my journal and reference my to-do items programmatically from inside journal entries.

Similar to your wish for first class dark mode, I want light mode to also be first class. Too many apps lately have made dark mode default and the light mode is unusable.
