Since last year, republicans have launched a campaign to get conservatives on school boards. This is the political party in the US who favors privatization of everything. They are sympathetic to giant corporations and champion #citizensUnited (which elevates corporations above humans). #Ohio has a large number of extremists...

I program in C and python, and even good first issue problems seem like I have to be Dennis Ritchie himself to solve them. How do I know when I’m ready to solve and commit to projects?

i found this open source game i found, seems like it’s based on quake 3 arena. i tried it and it’s actually pretty solid, i thought i could show it off here lmao...

Ventoy is an opensource tool to create a universal bootable USB drive for ISOs and other image files. With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over to create a bootable USB for different images, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot them directly via a dynamic menu....

I heard a while ago YouTube was blocking certain Piped instances but do not know if that is the same case right now.

Hey everyone, check the Linguist...

Are there any decent open source alternatives or should I be looking to go down the building route?...

Hey all, I’m a Linux baby and just discovered all my Onenote notes for DnD aren’t transferable to my new machine 🙃...

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!

It’s one of those FOSS apps that’s fairly popular even outside the tech/FOSS community, and it is used by a lot of (most?) med students, pre-med students, etc. It’s definitely the best flashcard software out there....

Tangram is a browser for your pinned tabs. What this means is that I can put all my frequently visited websites in an app and have the ability to view them all with great ease. Before I was signing into everything each time I needed to check it but now I just switch to my workspace that has tangram open. I use mine for email,...
