No one sideloads? Have you not heard of this niche indie game called Fornite that was removed from Google Play and Epic pushed sideloading means to install it?

If there is a kanban extension or something of the sort you might get the drag and drop list you want.

There is another Google Keep like app called NotallyX. Can even import in your Google keep backups. You can set up password protected auto backups with the app.

As for syncing syncthing as others have mentioned would be the best solution that would let you be able to use whatever you choose to go with.

I'm no interested in tiktok. I don't need tiktok for a social connection. I wasn't here for a recruitment to tiktok, but just answering your initial question of providing a viewpoint to those that dislike it. I respect your right to use tiktok or any other alternatives. It just happens to be not for me.

It is too social for me. I'm not interested in a platform that tends to push people to put a face or name behind an account. I prefer it to just be like the conversation we are having now where you are just another random user name.

And I perceive more positives to not using social media like tiktok, twitter, threads, or Instagram with huge corporate backing and invasive apps than using it. And times those social media even comes up as a useful search result has been pretty much zero. So that's just a big pass on tiktok for me. Even more so with the leadership change.

For me its general dislike for influencers and platforms where people are encouraged to put a face behind content, go viral, and make money off of due to tending to attract content from people coming off like aspiring infomercial hosts. Like labubu I didn't even know about until South Park, so it was like kind of awe inspiring what a huge hive mind of mass reach it can be for those part of it.

But then again I don't like twitch and most big YouTube content creators either for a similar reason, so I might be just an anomaly when it comes to social media. I don't like Twitter and Instagram either.

I've preferred social media where people interact for the sake of interacting, since the foundation for potential monetary pay off or fame is really poor for that. So more message board type stuff like lemmy, reddit, and old school forums. Things where there's less of a chance of someone going in to try to turn it into a side hustle.

And this type of mentality is why people did nothing when Sony and Nintendo decided to start charging for multiplayer. And why companies keep doing shrinkflation and getting away with it for other products.

They never seem to see an issue with being bent over, and keep defending it and finding reasons to justify being charged for everything.

How is HDR support with nvidia on Linux? I have my PC hooked up to the TV so use it for HDR in games and also for movies and TV shows.

Whether it was tiktok under China or tiktok under the US I never found myself wanting to use the app and I don't see that changing. I just dislike short form video content sites in general with it being filled with wannabe influencers fighting for attention. In a way its too social for me.

And maybe I'm just a no fun grump, but probably ended up being for the best that it never got its hooks in me.

Reddit or lemmy news related stuff is more similar to a potentially problematic curated RSS that happens to have a comment section than influencers giving the news.

Tiktok seems to lean more towards being a video sharing platform filled with aspiring content creators with followers who can get deeply infatuated with them and become their life coach in a sense than a RSS alternative.

So the least harmful impact of those types of platforms is making something like labubu become viral and explode in visibility and popularity, and the more harmful one being what lot of podcasters have done taking on the role of new anchors or science exports to their huge captive audience.

So if going back to the old days most similar thing would probably be getting all your news from what your neighbor Bob says.

I personally wouldn't care that much if youtube went back to how it was back in the day of people sharing for the sake of sharing instead of it being filled with bunch of aspiring infomercial hosts trying to get the bag.

Have to block so many channels because they monopolize the top search results before I see videos from normal folks just uploading to upload because they thought a video would be helpful.

Still important for console gaming depending on the game, so there are console gamers who will opt for a monitor over the TV. PVP games and rhythm games being one. I got taiko and that felt off until I hooked up my switch to the monitor.

Its more that people will use and adapt to what they have as opposed to not being relevant. Even TVs gamers will try to get ones that have lower input lag in game mode. But, monitor is still the preferred route.

Emulator users seem to like oleds for giving off the CRT look with shaders.
