      What do you mean? Thunderbird literally IS on Android (F-Droid, Google Store).

      I didn't realize it was out already. Last I heard they just slapped the name on K9-Mail.

      My comparison is vs the desktop version of Thunderbird.

        I wish I could send a whole folder of files at once with this, mine seems to only work one file at a time.

              super productivity

              To do list with time boxing/time tracking. No data collection--it's all local to your device. There are several DIY options to sync the desktop version with the mobile app.

                On that note also:

                • Alacritty: a minimalist Wayland GPU-accelerated terminal. Claims to be the fast currently available terminal. Also the coolest name ever. This is what I personally use, in combination with tmux.
                • Kitty: a more feature rich alternative, also Wayland, GPU-accelerated, and on par with alacritty for speed. Actually starts up a little faster but uses up more resources and sacrifices in other performance metrics (in my experience).
                • Foot: another minimalist Wayland alternative, but this time CPU driven. Despite this, the performance is still on par with the others. I think this is especially good for laptops and such that run on integrated graphics.

                    Sure thing, the reasons that are most important for me personally are better multi-attach, easier splitting and resize, better plugin ecosystem and it being more modern and actively maintained in general.

                                    Breakout71

                                    I could not believe I didn't find this fun free gem sooner. I'll let the description from F-Droid explain the details:

                                    This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula:
                                    The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels.
                                    Coins appear when you break bricks.
                                    They fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your paddle.
                                    At the end of the level, you get to pick upgrades.
                                    There are 50+ different upgrades that impact the gameplay in various ways.
                                    Many upgrades will impact your combo, that's the number of coins spawned for each brick broken.
                                    Your "combo" is displayed on your paddle. Your score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
                                    Oh, and don't miss the ball, you don't have extra lives.

                                        I couldnt figure it out, probably because I am a CL noob.
                                        Do you use a gui for it?
