No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Some foss music apps i like:
Seeker - for downloads
Metro - for playing downloaded music
Vimusic, blackhole, innertune or spotube - for streaming
I've mostly been using Spotube, its awesome!
Financial calculators has a bunch of useful calculators for figuring out loans, mortgage payments, compound interest, bonds, and tons more.
I don't know how hidden it is because most people into making electronic music at all know about it, but Koala sampler is a fantastic value at $5 for an intuitive and fun way to make some silly loops.
Tidy panel 3 for hiding un-dismissable notifications from notification panel (for my Samsung phone). Icon pack studio for generating custom icon packs.

Underhand
Free game, no ads, no internet, no info access, no update.
Small minus, you have to download it from play store.
Small caveat, not available on latest version of Android
"Birdnet" for recognizing the little birds' voices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tu_chemnitz.mi.kahst.birdnet
I gotta shout out cloudstream, a streaming alternate. Foss, great app available on f droid.
While i'm on that i'll add showly there too.

Sadly it's not on the playstore anymore, but I've had a free Tetris clone app on my phone for years that has served as a good time killer or a distraction from awkward silence. It's called Tetra Classic. I think you can still find the APK somewhere, hopefully in reputable sources.

SDR++ https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus
Though you'll need additional hardware.
The best general-use SDR program available on Android. The other apps are just very limited mobile apps, but this gives a full desktop experience. It does support less devices than on desktop, but that's fine. You can run it as server on desktop, and connect to the SDR++ server on your phone.
Here's a screenshot:
In the screenshot, it's connected to SDR++ server running on my laptop, to which I have connected RSP1. I couldn't use the RSP1 with SDR++ on Android directly, as it requires proprietary API. But I could for example use RTL-SDR, the most popular SDR. Or maybe Airspy, Airspy HF+, HackRF or Hermes. It can also connect (network) to PlutoSDR, RFspace, RTL-TCP, SDR++ and SpyServer.
But there's more awesome SDR programs available for Android:
-
SatDump for satellite data processing
-
SDRAngel which tries to do as much as possible in single program (there's no scaling settings, so prepare a stylus or mouse)
-
Welle.io for receiving DAB/DAB+ radio
-
RTL-SDR driver allows you to run RTL-TCP server on the phone. It's also used as a driver by many other apps.
