It’s a nice post but I agree with IRC still being in use just like those decades ago. It’s just that it’s not the only viable medium for many.

About finding all of those you mentioned, you can probably go select one of that huge list of networks on https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/ by clicking add network and start talking as a guest.

(1)You can just select one of the big networks, they are on top before the second seperator. (2)Don’t need to install a client, (3)no extra configuration needed, already configured, (4)no need for account creating for most of the channels, just call /list command for the channels and select one with good amount of users. It’ll probably be active to some degree when compared to some obscure ssh chat demo.

There are many open source projects that has their main chat rooms on IRC networks, self hosted or public ones.

And if you want to relive the actual nostalgia of chatting on IRC, one can go install one of the classic IRC clients and go thought all of those steps to join some nice communities.

Yes you can but be careful to not turn into a murderer on the way.

Oh man, not case sensitive, NOOOOOO!!N

I’m busted I guess. Beep boop.

Well that was the quickest random result I had while searching on mobile. Just to pave the way at least :)

That image seems to be on stock image sites like this one. So it’s just an image. Didn’t see any version that is converted to an actual theme.

Well, those windows reminded me of this old VLC skin.

And no, not a bot. Just a random internet user.

Looks like the design of LCARS (Star trek).

So you may like this theme or similar to this one.

For those who are curious about its history, this is where it all began for the visited links to be that color by default.

Subject: NCSA Mosaic 0.13 released.

• Changed default anchor representations: blue and single solid underline for unvisited, dark purple and single dashed underline for visited.

Switch 2 can’t play decades of PC games, all which are accessible on Switch.

I think you meant “which are accessible on Steam Deck”

Other people already mentioned Roundcube and Snappymail, which are good options already.

There’s also Cypht if you want a different approach. It combines multiple accounts into same interface so you can have a unified inbox.

I’m using one of the models here . It’s working for voice instructions for navigation in Organic Maps. It’s also showing in the text to speech menu in the android settings.

The app it’s based on (SherpaTTS) already exists on fdroid repos, but the APKs on that link has the model embedded already.

I don’t remember finding a guide for it but when I saw the bios menu in the settings, I went “use the source, Luke” way and searched in Lemuroid repo for bios detection.

Here is where it shows the bios files and corresponding systems that you can have and use. You simply drop those files to the same directory as roms. After a scan, you can check and see that bios files you copied are detected. Then it should work with any roms you have in hand for those systems.

Edit: Also I thought I should mention this part as well, copied from Lemuroid help:

*Why aren’t my games detected? If your games are compressed, try try putting ROMs into separate directories, one for each system with the following names: nes, snes, md, gb, gbe, gba, n64, sms, psp, nds, gg, atari2600, psx, fbneo, mame2003plus, pce, lynx, atari7800, scd, ngp, ngc, ws, wse, dos, 3ds.

I guess this is a guide now :)

Well if you happen to find a good app that does what you want on desktop, then you can complement it on Android with Markor , it’s “markdown native” and it has nice extra options like adding list elements, quick formatting etc. All based on markdown, can be easily switched between editor mode and preview(markdown rendered) mode.

That’s interesting, I’m using it since android 4 days, don’t remember a single crash. If that’s the only case it crashes, I would open an issue and use it in the meanwhile. Check the permissions maybe?

Binaryeye supports both decoding and encoding via Share menu. So you can share an image from any app to decode(can also be a photo that has a qr code somewhere). It also supports sharing a text or link to generate one. It also has searchable history support.

I presume because of the keys people will think he’s a drunk that passed out instead of a dead guy. Hence they won’t want to be involved.

Of course Github is just an example but you can pretty much regex any URL and further filter out anything in order to get the apk link with it. So depending on your level of privacy requirement and trusted sources, you can skip all the centralized ones and build your own list of sources.

Not exactly answering your question but you can use the app Obtainium to fetch the apk URL from a website/github repo and many other sources to install directly. It also supports fdroid repos and many other sources out of the box. Kinda half way what you mentioned in your first paragraph.

In addition to the answer #4, you can use Geo Share to automatically convert google maps links then open in OsmAnd for example.
