foss

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?

I just learned:...

I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

This one is something that were brought up a lot by developers including me who are very weary about corporations profiting off of our work for free and this basically put us off from contributing to open source in general....

I use LibreTube and it looks like half of the instances keep getting shut down and then get back up, and the speeds for all are atrociously slow that it is just better to watch it on YouTube on Firefox. I heard a while ago YouTube was blocking certain Piped instances but do not know if that is the same case right now.

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,...

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!...

I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?

Just noticed this really useful GUI tool that was not around a year ago or so when I switched my Home folder partition to Btrfs. It seems to cover all the generally used type of Btrfs features you’d use including running and monitoring scrubs or balance operations, and even viewing and browsing snapshots, with options to...

Let’s say, I create a bank with the caveat that all of my banking phone apps and webapps are FOSS (or if they depend on non-free components — banks probably do to communicate with each other —, then just OSS). Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this?...
