I struggled with this. All I wanted was an eight inch tablet with a stylus. I eventually settled on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5, which I managed to source from my cell carrier. It’s rugged, meaning it’s approaching 9 inches with the thick bezel. Not one of my desired features, but I have small children so this is still a plus. All the pictures on the Samsung website are dudes wearing hard hats and reflective vests, and you can buy a rack for charging five of them at once, that’s how aimed at construction workers it is. Also it has a push-to-talk key which I’ve bound to turning pages instead. Anyway, it fits in my (admittedly very large) pocket and I use it everyday. Oh, and you can easily replace the battery (if you don’t live in Canada) but battery life isn’t great. Performance is great though.

They’re using an iPhone so F-Droid is off the table. Is it also an attack vector on iOS?

I’ve tried a bunch of list-based launchers but I’ve bounced off them all, even on my tablet where I use fewer apps. Still interested in other people’s experiences, though. Maybe I’ll try again.

Still worth mentioning for the FOSS devs who might be looking for features to include.

I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven’t used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it’s open source.

I checked all the ones I had installed, no luck. Have you considered building one from source?

A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I’m not aware of any game that’s done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes “build unit X” is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn’t work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.
