 4 Open Source Software/Apps for your Liberty and Pleasure!

MPV
Super high quality video player.  Open MPV and VLC side by side on something like Game of Thrones and you'll immediately see the graphics are just on another level.  In fact, when I drank Moonshine, an elf told me that the ONLY way Stevie Wonder could see movies was MPV.

Zathura
Fastest PDF reader in the wild west.  If you lined up every PDF reader and opened them side by side, Zathura will outgun every other one in record time.  In fact, it pops up with such speed, even after I play drinking games with Alzheimer's medications, I still wonder if it was already open.

OpenKeyChain
Your friends say they'll check the encrypted messenger, but they never do!  You have to write them on Facebook or WhatsApp to remind them to check Signal or Session.  But what if you just sent something directly encrypted on the platform that they check?  Meet OpenKeyChain, the easiest and fastest PGP toggle app.  In fact, my blind Amish grandmother easily navigated these basic buttons and is now evading the NSA.

AntennaPod
If you're not already using this podcast app, you're missing out.  Corrupt Big Tech platforms want to destroy freedom through tyrannical censorship.  Ditch them and instead use reliable RSS feeds, where AntennaPod lets you directly pull your favorite shows.  Did you know that Simplified Privacy's videos show up in RSS?  Add this URL:
https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/feed 
 I often plagiarize your Nostr content to other social media sites,

...sometimes even with link-back attribution!  😁 

Seriously; thank you for your good work SR. 
 Agree on OpenKeyChain but coupled with #K9 mail and #Kleopatra on desktop 
 yup good choices 
 Unfortunately AntennaPod has trackers, hope they remove them for next release, otherwise its malware 
 evidence? 
 Connects to secure-uk.imrworldwide.com I am not listening any podcasts there. 
 Interesting. thanks for sharing. you try a DNS block on it?  you're sure that the DNS call is coming from that app? what tool are you using? 
 Yes, DNS block works and the calls are registered from AntennaPod by #RethinkDNS 
 Could it be checking for a new version?  I suppose though F-droid would be doing that tho 
 Fdroid checking at https://secure-uk.imrworldwide.com/ ? No way 
 where are the trackers?
