As a Heliboard enthusiast and pretty happy with it, I would like to ask you what you find wrong with it, what you miss from the original ?
C++ Software Engineer Big interest in OpenSource communities for years now. 20+ years linux user. But a newbies in fediverse, had heard about it before but needed the help of twitter (for mastodon) and reddit changes to give a real try. Also a fan of Stephen King books. Was fievel@vlemmy.net

It’s indeed noisy, we schedule it to run when we’re not at home.
A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it’s called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it’s not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.
Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.
I was born in 1984 :D
On a user level I agree it’s a very good feature (if configurable, not just an automatic grouping of similarly named communities). For merging post, not sure I want that, perhaps a bit too smart… Now if many users want this why not (as long as there is a setting to turn it off ;)).
Indeed this would really be a game changer feature. However I don’t complain about community fragmentation, I think it’s great because the communities are not really identical but share the same topic, sometimes with different tone, moderation, …
For notes I’m using Joplin with sync with desktop client through a nextcloud instance. Really a very nice app if you want sync with multiple devices anc user friendly interface.
For maps OsmAnd, I even pay a subscription to support the project (and have hourly updated maps which is pretty cool when I fix wood paths in openstreetmap).
Really happy with this fork, using it for several months now. Also occasionally Unexpected Keyboard for termux / ssh / code …
I use helium314/openboard on day to day basis, but the few times I use termux or have to ssh a linux box from my phone, unexpected keyboard is really awesome.
Please define “normal people”. ;)
IR led, useful to use your phone as a remote control for various non-connected hardware
First two instances I blocked as soon my instance switched to .19 :) My “all” feed is so good now
In my developer career, the littlest commit I did was the removal of a single ‘;’ which was causing a wonderful to debug bug ;)
Didn’t knew this one, still a fan of osmand but why not give a try
Definitely for osmand+, I think this is one of the best opensource app on Android (and the fact being openstreetmap based is a definitive plus because you can correct the map for benefit of the community).
Learned a few (meaning of foobar,…), remembered some and enjoyed a lot. thanks for the link.
Now from the article (which might have been updated since posted, no criticism of OP), it’s clearly unrelated to the football (soccer) match. Seems more related to the events in Israel…
A good chair for sure. I think this is the most valuable thing you can ask for.
