Searched the net about it, but most of the articles on List all tabs seems to be on how to remove it

What are your views?
Especially on whether land and education reforms are needed.

In your locality, region, state, country etc
Any orgs like that.

Examples from the area I'm from, Kerala:

1. Kudumbasree or Prosperity of the family
   Org that was setup by the state govt to empower women, reduce poverty etc.
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudumbashree

2. Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad or Kerala Science Literature Movement
   Org with the aim to improve scientific temper
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Sasthra_Sahithya_Parishad

Another org that I've recently heard about in the state of Maharashtra, India:
Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti or Committee Eradication of Blind Faith, Maharsashtra
Read about how the leader of the org was gunned down by religious extremists

Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it's nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.

Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don't stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.

Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.

And what would take for it to be noticed?

How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I'm thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

Decent sleep, diet, exercise etc. would be the basics, so mentioning them first, so that specific info on it would be discussed.
Like any specific exercise that you think would be useful for most people etc, that's not really popular or so?

On exercise, I think light neck exercises and stretches are cool. Do be careful.

Tech stuff:

1. Generally, Firefox with uBo is awesome on all devices. Some of the extra filters make it more cool.
2. RSS feeds are awesome.
   RSS-Bridge helps to get feeds for websites that don't offer one.
   Lemmy supports RSS feeds
   
   Google news feeds can be obtained as RSS feeds by adding /rss:
   

   https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=SearchTerm Also other operators like when:24h can be used

Android:

1. Pipepipe and Newpipe have options to use WebM format. It saves data and space. Quite cool.
2. Skipsilence(Fast forward during silence) option - Pipepipe and Newpipe have it. AntennaPod(for podcasts)
   MPV script with a similar feature: https://codeberg.org/ferreum/mpv-skipsilence
3. Activity Manager - A foss app that allows to create launchable activities. Can be useful to access and create shortcuts to Android/data folder.
4. Aard2 is a cool foss Android dictionary app
5. Markor is a foss Android app for text document and markdown
6. Seal on Android helps to download yt playlists and since it uses yt-dlp, it can be used on many other websites too. Have used it to listen to Dessalines' audiobooks when I'm offline. They're cool.
7. Sayboard - foss voice to text keyboard
8. OCR - foss OCR app using Tesseract (Thanks for the recommendation/reminder by jk43)

PC/Laptop:

1. In laptops, touchpad gestures are quite cool
2. Pdf Arranger is quite good for combining or separating pdfs.
3. In Word or other document editors, there maybe a option to display non-printing characters. Useful to see if too many spaces or tabs are the reason for some formatting issue.
4. For slides, using notes and narrator view is nice. SlideMaster settings too. I've only used Powerpoint for it, but Libreoffice likely has similar stuff.

Have heard about jxl being useful for reducing image file sizes. Haven't used it much as there is no widespread support. But if you store a lot of jpg images and want to save space, it maybe nice.

General:

1. Recently have seen a video about the 5 why root cause analysis, which talked about a logic tree to find root causes and that was nice. Obvious, but nice to hear about.
2. Libretext and Openstax are quite cool for open textbooks on things.

Please do share some things that you find useful.
Any exercises, resources, websites, file formats, apps, techniques etc. that you find useful and think that most/more people would find use with?

Thanks in advance.

What are your opinions on it?

In my case, did think about exercising the legs more and have started a bit.

Have heard of it during the Tiktok ban and most comments about it seem positive.

I generally try to avoid using apps that are non-FOSS or opensource, and tried to use the website. I think it's my network provider, but I can't really use the site as it only seems to be available once every 2-3 reloads(I also use a private dns as without that it take 4-5 reloads). I also think that app users can easily change the interface language, as I couldn't find where the switch was on the website. Couldn't create an account because of the same too.

Is there any foss client for it? If not, is the app decent on privacy n all? I generally avoid meta apps, except Whatsapp(which is the major messaging app in India).

Also, what was your experience there? Most comments about the interactions seem very positive. But I have that doubt whether I'm being biased my pov as a leftist.
So I thought I could ask here and see the general opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Found Translate You for text translation, but it uses online services. Is there any offline app for that?

Sayboard allows offline speech to text translation. It's quite cool.
It supports English and seems useful.
Was looking to see if there are models for Malayalam and other languages.

Saw a Malayalam vosk GMM model in gitlab. Tho, it can't be imported. It seems to need a chain training model.

Does anyone know any resources on that?
Or any other app that can do it?

Or is there some way using Termux or so?
