Could you tell me the names of those applications and point me to where I can download each one? Do you have a compiled list?

F-Droid is the way
Quite the kinky lineup; WiFiAnal, Wetter, QuickDic... 😏
Last I tried RHVoice is was very unnatural sounding.
Sherpa-onnx is a much much more natural option. I personally use vits-piper-en_GB-southern_english_female-medium because I thought it sounded the most natural. You can also use Glados from Portal
I second sherpa! Love it. I use with with Librera FD so basically made PDFs audiobooks.
Ohhh I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!
I wish I had friends to use xmpp apps to text..I'm a whatsapp hostage
To be fair, I only have a few of my friends and some of my family on XMPP. I'm also guilty of having WhatsApp on my work phone for colleagues and the rest of my friends.
I love the mandatory Super Tux Cart anyone of us has installed but played like 4 times
Stop, you're gonna make me cum
WifiAnal
I see you have freetube. Grayjay is also a great addition as it has plug ins for lots of sites
Unfortunately FreeTube and Newpipe never worked for me. Only NewPipe works, but I have to disable my VPN.
Congratulations!!!
Try CoMaps instead of Organic Maps. It's a fork because Organic Maps is starting to enshittify
Is there a reason for CoMaps not being on fdroid? I must be missing other app stores. For example, Accretium (a privacy appstore?) is not on fdroid.
CoMaps is on both F-Droid and izzyondroid repos.
Thanks, how strange when I searched for it in fdroid it didn't come up 🤔
I just ran the two apps side-by-side and barely found any differences otger than some subtle UI changes. How exactly is it different? And how is Organic Maps being enshittified?
I haven't been keeping up with Organic Maps updates to see if they differ but I'd assume they're basically functionally the same, except for potentially Kayak results.

Thanks for the link. I just made the switch to CoMaps because I'm tired of enshittification.
The only Organic Maps controversy I'm aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that's what that user is referring to? Not sure.

Quite impressive choice of apps, usually when I look at screenshots of privacy enthusiasts they look more or less like my own phone, and with you I share 3, maybe 4 apps only
Lol. Last picture at the bottom third. "WiFiAnal" xD (Sorry, I'm childish)

Honest question: I see a lot of people here use their mobile phones as a computer platform. I have a general uneasiness about doing so. Not throwing any shade whatsoever, I just feel there is too much out of my control on a mobile phone, for me to trust it more than I do. My general policy is not to use my phone as a mobile computing platform even tho I have a VPN installed and use Firefox as a browser.
My local network for instance. There is one pipe in and out. I can easily see what is coming in and what's going out and I can control that with the granularity of a gnat's ass. I know what my software is doing or not doing. I can allow or disallow anything I want. On a mobile phone, I feel that the control I have on my PC is not equal to the control I have on my phone.
How have you come to terms with what you can't control on your mobile phone?
