I have had success with the Simple Alarm Clock on F-Droid (not to be confused with the simple mobile tools apps). It has necessary basic features like custom alarms, increasing volume, and dismissing the alarm requires holding down "dismiss" so the chances of accidentally dismissing an alarm instead of snoozing it are much lower. The only time it seemingly failed me was after an overnight android update (samsung), where it didn't work until the phone was unlocked.

Legit malware shown in this article. Imagine an operating system/browser injecting what are essentially ads into your webpage. Whether or not chrome or edge are any good these are scummy tactics by microsoft

I set up a VPN tunnel to my home network and use pihole to block ads which worked on this app too, so that wasn't a problem but the audacity to remove my paid-for full access was astoundingly awful

On that note, I bought a GIF viewer app's full version via in-app purchase and about a year later, they updated the app to have ads again regardless and my "full version no ads" app got ads again and now i had to buy a subscription per month to be "ad free" needless to say I uninstalled

Audacious with winamp skins, weening off windows' foobar2000 as an old favorite, jellyamp, amberol occasionally

Im sure theyre banking on the modding community keeping Starfield on life support for a decade or more

Its like the problem cousin. Biggest criticisms are the pay to win nature, inconsistent art style, and UI bloat. OSRS is basically the second chance to make things right and largely achieved this in every way (no p2w, simple at its core complex in its capabilities, community polling for new content). Everything that RS3 did wrong was a learning experience for Jagex. Not to say RS3 can't be fun for people

Armcord is good and uses Vencord as well for plugins/theming. Webcord is another option that is primarily privacy-focused

There is a KDE flavor in development for vanilla but its not publicly available yet

Crazy how a 6 year old game is already releasing a "nostalgia" version.

Are you just looking for a partition editing tool? Rescuezilla ships with gparted and some other backup/rescue tools and boots from live usb though gnome disks isnt included if i remember. Gparted distributes its own live boot utility. You could also look into making a persistent live installation of ubuntu or other distro and have those installed and theyll remain on the disk.

Edit: Rescuezilla comes with gnome Disks so this may be what youre looking for

As usual its just another shell on wheels. Nothing revolutionary here, just seems like another art project.
