It is currently summer in India.

Are there any behavioural or infra modifications that would help handle the increased heat?
I have read about how white roofs would reduce heat absorption and energy needed for cooling
Are there other things like that? Especially ones that regular people can try? The other type(policy decision type) are ok too tho. Would be good to know them.

Also, are there any communities that would have discussions on such topics? Like a TIL or DIY community where people talked about general issues and solutions.
Is it this community?

I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

Did not have any major resolutions, but have been exercising decently for a year and half or so.

I can search in the bookmarks section and see some bookmarks that I want to remove, but can't select them while in the bookmark search results.

Is there any way to select multiple bookmarks based on a name or link and delete them?

I do know that I can do it by syncing to a PC and deleting it from there, but asking to see if there are alternatives ways.

How do(or how would) you handle this issue?

Searched the net about it, but most of the articles on List all tabs seems to be on how to remove it

What are your views?
Especially on whether land and education reforms are needed.

In your locality, region, state, country etc
Any orgs like that.

Examples from the area I'm from, Kerala:

1. Kudumbasree or Prosperity of the family
   Org that was setup by the state govt to empower women, reduce poverty etc.
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudumbashree
2. Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad or Kerala Science Literature Movement
   Org with the aim to improve scientific temper
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Sasthra_Sahithya_Parishad

Another org that I've recently heard about in the state of Maharashtra, India:
Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti or Committee Eradication of Blind Faith, Maharsashtra
Read about how the leader of the org was gunned down by religious extremists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra_Andhashraddha_Nirmoolan_Samiti

Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it's nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.

Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don't stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.

Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.

And what would take for it to be noticed?

How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I'm thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

Decent sleep, diet, exercise etc. would be the basics, so mentioning them first, so that specific info on it would be discussed.
Like any specific exercise that you think would be useful for most people etc, that's not really popular or so?

On exercise, I think light neck exercises and stretches are cool. Do be careful.

Tech stuff:

1. Generally, Firefox with uBo is awesome on all devices. Some of the extra filters make it more cool.
2. RSS feeds are awesome.
   RSS-Bridge helps to get feeds for websites that don't offer one.
   Lemmy supports RSS feeds
   Google news feeds can be obtained as RSS feeds by adding /rss:

Android:

1. Pipepipe and Newpipe have options to use WebM format. It saves data and space. Quite cool.
2. Skipsilence(Fast forward during silence) option - Pipepipe and Newpipe

What are your opinions on it?

In my case, did think about exercising the legs more and have started a bit.

Have heard of it during the Tiktok ban and most comments about it seem positive.

I generally try to avoid using apps that are non-FOSS or opensource, and tried to use the website. I think it's my network provider, but I can't really use the site as it only seems to be available once every 2-3 reloads(I also use a private dns as without that it take 4-5 reloads). I also think that app users can easily change the interface language, as I couldn't find where the switch was on the website. Couldn't create an account because of the same too.

Is there any foss client for it? If not, is the app decent on privacy n all? I generally avoid meta apps, except Whatsapp(which is the major messaging app in India).

Also, what was your experience there? Most comments about the interactions seem very positive. But I have that doubt whether I'm being biased my pov as a leftist.
So I thought I could ask here and see the general opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Found Translate You for text translation, but it uses online services. Is there any offline app for that?

Sayboard allows offline speech to text translation. It's quite cool.
It supports English and seems useful.
Was looking to see if there are models for Malayalam and other languages.

Saw a Malayalam vosk GMM model in gitlab. Tho, it can't be imported. It seems to need a chain training model.

Does anyone know any resources on that?
Or any other app that can do it?

Or is there some way using Termux or so?

It allows to launch exported activities from various apps and helps to create useful shortcuts

2 examples where I find it to be quite useful:
1 Quick Record shortcut for Audio Recorder
::: spoiler It currently does not have a quick recording shortcut.
Audio Recorder Gitlab issue where a user requests the feature. Maybe attention from someone here would be helpful? :::

You can directy search for the app in Activity manager, open it and create a a shortcut for the Recording activity.

2 Shortcut to open Android/data folder in the native Files app

::: spoiler Context for the folder location I use here For Android 11 & onwards, you can't access the Android/data folder

::: spoiler Context for the folder location I use here For Android 11 & onwards, you can't access the Android/data folder(without root) from regular file manager apps like Material files(awesome opensource file manager).
The Telegram X app stores it's downloaded files in a folder there.
