DeepL




+1 for DeepL, it's better than google translate


It even has PDF translation now, which I think is pretty awesome. I live in a German-speaking country and it's invaluable for translating certain difficult things like government issued information sheets on certain legal issues.


/e/ intrigues me. How do you feel about using it?


Went from iOS to it. "It's good enough"(tm) for my needs. No serious experience with "vanilla" Android. With three exceptions (my bank app, Windy and Locus Map) I only use open source apps plus NoRoot Firewall running in the background. For browsing I use Firefox with NoScript and uBlock enabled. Plus, I'm cybersecurity savvy, so all things considered, should be safe enough.


/e/, aka, LineageOS, with even more time added for sec patches.

To me, feels like road to hell being paved with good intentions.


Forgot these three:

Signal

Tusky (Mastodon client)
