Try oeffi, it’s a great app for public transport.
I’ve learned a lot about privacy/security from xmpp chatrooms, especially the room for the conversations client and the divestos chatroom. They both are kind of support chatrooms for the chat client/ android rom but privacy is often a topic and the programmers/ rom maintainers are also present and very knowledgeable. https://search.jabber.network/rooms/1
Podcasts are a leftover from the non centralized and non-monetized internet of the past. Because is that most Podcasts are still available as rss feeds, so you should only ever get adds if they are spoken by the Podcasts hosts. Ate you taking about those? Only something like sponsorblock would help against those. I use antennapod (fdroid) on android to listen to Podcasts. Sine hosts always start their podcast with an add, but you can autoskip the first minute of a certain podcast with antennapod every time. It has a setting for that. Antenna pod itself is foss software without adds.
There were problems like these ten years ago in Europe, but nowadays it works very well. W
They use xmpp as their messaging system I think. Xmpp is open source, but I am not sure about the licence used.
This is not bad for a start (common commands):

Also meine 30er Cien hat keinen Aufdruck, aber enthält keine Octacrylene, die Tube habe ich dieses Jahr gekauft.
I’ve been using natron (backing powder) for a couple of years now twice a week. I had no need for shampoo ever since. You just mix one tablespoon natron with water in a cup and are good to go. To even out the ph of the hair use a teespoon of cider vinegar mixed with water in a one of those spray cans used to water flowers. Works well for children as well, as none of this burns your eyes. As a side effect I stopped getting red eyes from using shampoo.
I’d say it’s best to only buy routing devices supporting openwrt. Some Ubiquity devices seem compatible, so maybe you are in luck. In my opinion it’s just best to stay away from preinstalled commercial software and just install Linux. You get away from the whole process of enshitification, gain long term support and an incredible set of features commercial software will never provide (at a reasonable price) imho.
I’ve been using droidcamx to utilise any android phone as a webcam for a couple of years and it’s working great. Phones tend to have way better cameras compared to webcams so the video quality will be top notch in must most cases.
It’s cool they included this into android 14, though.
The Lawrence Arms are an American punk rock band from Chicago, formed in 1999.
That’s from Wikipedia, I don’t know, I would have called it punk rock as well…
Gaslight Anthem
Satanic Surfers
Millencolin

Fun fact: as my philosophy prof never failed to point out platonic friendship in the original Greek sense did not exclude sexual relations and related to a relationship between mentor and student, which meant they were homosexual in nature.

I’ve been using xmpp for several years now. Even running my own server for family and friends. It’s a great feeling to be fully independent imho.
I’ve used a Bluetooth heart monitor worn around the chest (was around 20 $ ten years ago) to measure the heart rate before. It works well with open tracks and should be more reliable compared to a device worn around the wrist. I am not sure the gps tracker on a watch works be better than the one on your phone anyways. It might be a problem with your phone killing background apps like opentracks. Check https://dontkillmyapp.com before pulling the plug on a new device.
How about we set a no tracking flag in our browsers for example and companies actually respect the choice? One can only dream…
Fun fact: jeder Browser hat seit ca. 2009 eine alles ablehnen flag, die jeder Nutzer einfach setzen kann. Nur keine kommerzielle Webseite hält sich daran. Es handelt sich bei cookie bannern einfach um malicious compliance seitens der Webseitenbetreiber. User ärgern sich über maximal nervende Banner auf jeder Webseite und regen sich evtl. sogar über die EU-Richtlinie auf, dabei ist die Grundidee gut und richtig, nur die Umsetzung ist bösartig gegen den Nutzer ausgerichtet. Do not track means so not track - no means no.
Another option would be to install an im server that is low on resources and not eating your sdcard. I think xmpp would work a lot better on a pi. Prosody, ejabberd or snikket should work nicely.
I would switch to jmp immediately if only it were available in Germany.
