KiCAD. It's so good these days.

I still code most Python in IDLE. It's fine!

Various flavors of Linux and the many, many applications supporting that. Also OpenWRT. OpenOffice > Google Sheets.

I also grabbed an open-source script that would turn on a fan every time the humidity level rose high enough for a specific type of mold to grow, and move air until it dropped. That ran all day for a few years until the fan broke and I repurposed the other hardware.

Standard stuff, though very few from my phone so I will focus there. On it, atm just things like RetroArch, Firefox, Geometric Weather, Blokada, and Amaze File Manager.

I haven't done any research at all, but if anyone wants to share: does anyone know of a good FOSS grocery store list kind of app for Android? Something that might still work without internet, I don't care about synching anywhere else. Currently I use Listonic, mainly b/c I do not want to use Google Keep. There are some on F-droid so when I get time I'll look into those.

The others have been mentioned. Not quite daily but I'll occasionally get paid to do CFD simulations.

Programming, writing, notes, email… and basically a whole lot of what I use computers for is done with emacs.
