Buzzkill is very nice. I’m in a group chat that gets huge bursts of activity (like a hundred messages) and then goes dormant for a bit, so I set buzzkill to only give me at most 1 notification every 30 minutes, and keep the rest of them silent. That way I can still keep up with it without my phone blowing up
I could be completely wrong, but I think one of the first anomaly detection games was called “I’m on observation duty” which came out in 2018, but didn’t really get popular until late 2021 (when the fourth game in the series same out), about the same time “The exit 8” released funny enough.
That game is a little different where the player flips around security cameras and reports anomalies as they come up, but I think exit 8 was the first anomaly detection games that is “looping” and you have to decide whether to go forward or back depending on if there’s an anomaly
Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks
Woah this is awesome
Ack librefm completely slipped my mind
AFAIK they’re two separate projects for the same/similar goal. I know ListenBrainz has a recommendation system, but it might still be in it’s early days
There’s ListenBrainz, the open MusicBrainz version of last.fm
The scout’s voice actor (Nathan Vetterlein) used to be super active, but a few years ago he said he’d be going on an “indefinite break” while he focused on other goals he had in life (presumably to do more than just be the “TF2 scout guy”).
His linked in currently says he’s working as a principle game designer at Wizards of the Coast

But I agree, with the other voice actors getting together and doing all these fun projects it would be awesome to see him again
Blokada 5 has been very nice to me, no root, and doesn’t use much battery (android tells me 4% after a full day). Only downside is that it counts as a VPN connection, so if you want to connect to another VPN you have to turn it off temporarily.
Otherwise definitely Firefox with ublock origin
Haven’t tried it personally, but this might work: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox
Basically, instead of creating a fedora distrobox and installing davinci resolve in there, this is a pre built image that has all the dependencies and such ready to go.
Funny enough, that’s a feature of GitHub copilot: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github-copilot#_generate-git-commit-messages

TagSpaces is a cross-platform file browser that operates very similarly to a regular file browser except it supports tags
If you’re just using Windows files.community does something similar with a tighter integration with Windows
The benefit of both is that all their organization features sit on top of the regular file system so you can continue using the organization you have already
You might be interested in https://inworld.ai/origins , a detective game where all the characters can be interviewed in natural language and respond with AI. They seem to be doing a pretty good job so far
I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool
The PDF multitool I’ve been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords
Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha
English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though
You can even hook up tachiyomi to your home stuff through something like komga as another source
I let syncing run in the background all the time, the app has a ton of settings to configure when it runs so it respects battery/data usage
Android reports the app has used less than 1% of my battery in the last 19 hours
A couple of favorites that are different from what others already said:
