Things free-software actually needs a replacement for, rather than more Alexa clones:

- the thing that remembers your wifi networks & passwords across Android devices

- the thing in GMail that notices "due dates" and creates optional reminders for them

- The thing that notices when email & SMS contacts have the same name and provides a button to merge them

- Yours?

Bought a new drive to replace the disk I just lost... and guess what: DOA - dead on arrival.

My luck with new hardware knows no boundaries.

Hey, if you're in school and are having trouble paying for your textbooks, search them up on libgen.io to find them for free.

I'm realizing that a lot of people at my college don't know this and are skipping meals to afford overpriced textbooks, so it may help someone on here too. #sharingiscaring
