    Smart move the latter, ~didn’t think it.

    About the former, I recently realized in practice that it’s important to pick up activities etc. that you like and that attract people you can bond with. For example I like weightlefting at gym, but I realized it attracts so many people with repulsive ideologies, while I tried dancing and mobility classes the same gym offers and the environment was much much better, I found many good people there. (I still do weightlifting though and I found some good people there too.)

    Plus, voicing your opinions helps a lot to filter people (I’m struggling a lot with this though).

    Lol, people here do a lot of assumptions. I typically do like ~9k steps each day, I spent a lot of time outside, go to gym etc. but 1)having hard tasks to do and 2)spending a lot of time alone (alone meaning without interacting face to face with real friends) for various reasons contributes to this.

    I’m just checking my social media apps for any new messages and maybe droify for updates. After checking them in the morning I kinda think to myself that now job is done and any more time I spend of my morning on them is kinda wasted. Checking social media from time to time and speaking with your friends seems kinda healthy, but doomscrolling is kind of a waste after a point (happens if I’m too bored to start my day).

    The thing is, after I check all these, I might go in a loop due to boredom (boredom may have many many reasons behind it). When I have tasks to do or I’m in a period that my friends and I are busy, this is more intense. The phone is an easy and portable distraction. All these contribute to an increase of phone usage (currently I’m in one of those situations and phone usage has increased probably by at least 50%).








  • Offline, right?

    As long as you set Load remote content to never😅 (I think when this is turned on it loads stuff like images and such from wikipedia etc. which take unecessary cache space, so I leave it off).

    About the english wiktionary, oi… it’s huge (for comparison, the greek one is ~200mb).

    I don’t know if there’s a less complex version available anywhere… Maybe try creating an issue on aard2 github page. They seem to be active in general (btw, they also run an ftp server where they store ~all the dictionaries you see on github of multiple verions.) Also take a look here on the other projects, maybe you’ll find something useful (I’m taking a look at it now).

    As an extra topic, have you managed to convert wordnet dictionaries to .slob from pyglossary? I have found some ancient tools on github, but never made it (possibly you need to code some stuff).



  • Both. Wordnet does english to english (it provides description and really lots of synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, derived related forms), while wiktionaries can translate whatever language to the language of the wiktionary you’ve downloaded and it provides you description, congugation, synonyms etc.

    You can even download the wikipedia dictionary separately which downloads all the articles of wikipedia of a specific lamguage locally to search them with the app.


  • One of the best apps out there. (Helps me a lot since I don’t use auto-correct/auto-suggestion and I try to read books in English.)

    I use the English wordnet and the Greek wiktionary provided by their github page.

    It’s good for 4 uses:

    1. Translating words (whatever language to greek with wiktionary)

    2. Explaining words (english to english with wordnet or greek to greek wit wiktionary)

    3. Cheking the conjugation of various words (with wiktionary)

    4. Helping me with spelling for words I have hard time (using both wordnet and wiktionary)

    The fact that it is online makes it much much faster than anything else. (In the past I would search them on ddgo and it would take time.)




  • If you set it up properly (like using apps to sync folders) a big enough sd is like local “cloud” service.

    I was thinking about it recently, after my phone data were very close to being deleted (I managed to prevent it eventually), I was angry at how not having an sd slot caused me so many issues. If I had a 1tb sd I would just autosync app backups and files to my card and not worry ~at all about losing data from bootloops etc.
