I know the correct answer is to stop using Facebook, but there’s a couple communities I follow for certain updates I can’t get anywhere else....

Yes, there are a few good open-source office suites, but there are fewer that are server based, and actually collaboration based, like ONLYOFFICE DocSpace is (they also have a server version that installs from a Docker image)....

Buggy software, not so user friendly, things don’t work, new things to learn…...

I’ve made an open source tool for scheduling posts to Lemmy, you can find it at schedule.lemmings.world. It can be used by users from any instance!...

Is there a FLOSS service that hosts events and can be used to distribute .ics files only with a link?...

(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I’m trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse....

Edit: And in the end, it’s back to good old Fedora with Xfce. I guess I’m an old man, fixed in my ways. Haiku was interesting, but not nearly as stable as needed. OpenSuSE with Xfce was rough, it requires more polish....

. . . that allows the user to hide apps in the drawer?

The page says it gets updated every 1-5 months and F-Droid says the last update was over a year ago. Is it still being developed?

The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren’t respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features...

Or a privacy respecting way on the web.

I’ve been looking at options for controlling my Ubuntu Media Center computer from Android. Mainly Mouse, but Keyboard is good too. Looked at a lot of stuff but the most interesting ones were:...

For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code....

Is Haven still the only thing out there? It doesn’t seem to even be available any more from what I could find.

Let me start saying my first approach with Linux was around 2000, the first distro I installed successfully was Debian, then moved to more user-friendly distros (at the time) like Knoppix and Fedora, and ultimately to Ubuntu. In the 2000’s I used Linux mostly for fun, do homework, and browsing. I used Knoppy for like a year...

I now have a working Linux installation on my laptop. Honestly, I doubted I’d ever be here again....
