Defaults

Nov 13, 2023 15:32 Read time: 1 min

Inspired by the current trend of posting the default apps in your digital life I decide to post my own. I was initially made aware of the trend by Kev Quirk’s post, one of the admins of Fosstodon, the corner of the web where I have lived for a while. I also read the whole list of default by different people collected in the wholesome list by Robb Knight: Default apps. On mobile I mainly use an Android phone, and also have an iPad which I mostly use for YouTube, checking social media (Twitter, Mastodon) and to read. On desktop I am Linux user, but currently using Windows 11 with WSL2.
