Definitely piqued my interest. Did some digging and the main Android app was more-or-less on maintenance mode over the last few years as is.
I use the fork on one of my three Android devices and will likely transition the rest for future updates.

Why would Putin dump Trump? That's like Netanyahu dumping Trump, no?

Reminds me of the time that the FBI created 'secure' phones for illicit criminal activities

It was the first (only?) app where I was baffled at the features compared to the price. It's a joy to use. If you self-host music, it beats the competition by miles

Just to clarify, this is standalone and doesn't need a local LLM or anything yeah? Also, any tips on tutorials for the install process?
Edit: Nevermind, I realize it's install and use

I made the jump last year. There will be ups and downs but I don't plan on using another OS on my computers ever.

Just want to reiterate that the IRS get their marching orders from the party in charge which is why they targeted rich people under Biden: The IRS has recovered $1.3 billion from rich American tax dodgers since the fall of 2023 — relieving a painful burden from ‘ordinary citizens’

If thinner, lighter and modern-ness are of interest, I'd say a chrultrabook, but they are more finicky re: swapping out parts. If you are looking for TUI-only, then it can be a sufficient option for a fraction of the price of the competition.

That's how I watch it as well. I think the benefit of the YT clips is that the editors crop in news articles to bolster his claims w/ factual evidence. It's like a built-in fact checker confirmer

I'm a fan and catch YT recaps of topics he covers that I find interesting.
I will say though that he, as a political influencer, is beholden to his target demographic in the same way that Fox News captivates/gets held captive by its more fervent supporters. It's a crude analogy, but my understanding is that the ideals of journalism is to follow the news, while influencers follow the engagement.
It is interesting getting his insights and hearing a knowledgeable person speak on the issues, but it isn't the same as getting news from a true blue journalist imo

"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."
They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for. This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like? I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
