I recently took the toe dip of installing Lubuntu (22.04.2 LTS Jammy Jellyfish) on my old laptop....

Hello everyone! For a while i’ve been using Okular, but I feel like the UI is a bit crowded and it’s difficult to change the appearance of the book itself. Are there any minimalist/simple epub readers for Linux (perhaps something akin to Apple’s “Books” app?)

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...

Now we are facing an unprecedented growth of AI as a whole. Do you think is time for FSF elaborate a new version of GPL to incorporate the new challenges of AI in software development to keep protecting users freedom?

I don’t know if the API is available to third part devs make a client app.

Does anyone know of a self hosted media streaming service similar to Plex that will allow me to stream videos as audio only? Or better yet, to be able to sync/download them as audio only?...

Is there any android app or web app with movie ratings and reviews? Android app would be better. Alternative to imdb? I want to be able to fast check the rating of movie or list of actors. I know about wikipedia app but it’s interface is not focused on movies. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have any recommendations for good backup software? My use case is pretty simple. I have an external usb drive I want to backup to every so often. Both the source and backup drives are 8TB capacity (I’m not even close to using the full capacity yet)...

I know some of you have gone complies FOSS, but I believe if the developer wants to make money from their apps, there’s noting wrong with it, as long as they are ethical. So what are your favorite non-foss apps?

Just looking for a simple app that can stream local rstp. I have been using VLC up to this point but im looking for something a little less glitchy. I’d also like the ability to view multiple streams at the same time....

Hello,...

Have you ever been scared or hesitant about reporting flaws or bugs to a community with a strong staunch fanbase ??...

I’m a UX designer by trade and have some very basic knowledge of Python, HTML & CSS. I wanna get more involved with helping build FOSS projects, can anyone help point a development newbie in the right direction?

Is there a FOSS alternative to gfycat for hosting short video clips? With gfycat shutting down, I’m looking for other options.

I’d like a way of sharing playlists that I make, but I don’t want to use Spotify or YouTube. Is there something free (as in freedom and as in cost) and open-source, which is better than burning a CD or sending someone a playlist.txt?

I’m quite fond of this music player, but development has since ceased and I’ve been looking around for an active fork; does anyone happen to know of one?...

I have a fairly large music collection, which is 9.9 GB in size. It’s mainly made up of MP3 files, with some OGG Vorbis files and a handful of WAV and WMA files. I would like to convert the entire library to AAC (or a better format, if there is one) in order to reduce the size of my collection by a considerable amount....

Those who are using Android ROMs without Google play services installed: Do you know any visual voicemail apps that work without Google Play Services? I tried the app ‘My Visual Voicemail’ but it wouldn’t work. Though it seems to see all my voicemails when I open the app, a popup comes up saying the app requires Google...

Kia ora!...

Trying to setup obtainium and I’m forgetting just where I got some of my apps from. Does anyone know if I can get a list of all the apps that I’ve installed by repo? This could be just a way to achieve this or an app itself - not too fussed, but I feel updating my foss apps is getting on top of me. Thanks.

Currently I’m looking for a Teamviewer replacement. I think Rustdesk looks very promising....
