Google Wave was beautiful. I was rooting for it to replace email as a standard. So many possibilities lost…

Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:

This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/

[I included OP full list here]

I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.

Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:

Hold up, does Podman replace Docker entirely?

A few days ago, I ran into some issues while trying to authenticate on a website (Android). It sent a verification code to my email, but every time I open the email, the browser restarted and the page reload, making it impossible to enter the code.

Couldn’t find the code text box because it was generated dynamically, so I needed to generate another code. Really annoying.

Holup, are you guys having creative freedom?

When ChatGPT and LLMs started to become mainstream, many poor-quality newsletters about AI appeared and/or with the sole purpose of embedding advertisements in emails.

I found a quality newsletter, genuinely made by those interested in the subject, with updated news, containing reference links, and without ads.

I understand that this game is popular and has a significant fanbase. However, I’ve never played it. Could you share the features that drew you into playing this game? I’d like to enjoy it, but simply watching the gameplay didn’t suffice to persuade me.

I am playing Skyrim. For the second time, now in Special Edition.

Fedora because they keep the packages updated. I could go with Arch, but the amount of updates per day is too high.

The games are running smoothly? Even the heavy ones?
