QOwnNotes. It's FLOSS, customizable, native / performant, offline first, and uses plaintext so there's no lock-in. I switched from SimpleNote when they started screwing self-hosters.

I had one for years and lost it a while ago. I'm always wishing it was in my pocket.

This looks great! I've been using Dsub for ages because it supports streaming via DLNA to my Hifiberry device. I'd love to find a 100% FLOSS app that also has this feature.

Imo Indian English should be normal as it's spoken by more people.

My partner got me a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR as a gift years ago, and it's the only pen I use now.

Swipe typing is brutal

It's still in pre-alpha, but I've been playing a lot of Veloren.

Interesting question!

Sight is a combination of raw data input and interpretation of that data. It turns out that if you miss a critical window of learning early in life, you are almost certain to never learn how to interperet that data correctly even if you gain the ability to see. Many people who have gained sight after being blind from birth find it simply overwhelming and regret the medical intervention. Richard L. Gregory's "Eye and Brain: The Psychology of Seeing" is a fascinating read on this topic. Even those with sight fail to interpretet things properly depending on their experience - for example, someone who lived in a dense forest all their life (where they never had the opportunity to see anything from a distance), is likely to think that the elephants are the size of ants if they are viewed from afar. A lot of brainpower goes into learning how to see in early life, and if you miss that, it's over.
