I use LibreWolf mainly because it handles fingerprinting and tracking blocking well and is open source. I also do not want Tor-related stuff because I don’t want to risk going to illegal websites. So do you know any LibreWolf alternatives for mobile and Android that handle fingerprinting and tracking blocking well,...
Hello, I work on Pharo, an open source derivative of Smalltalk. Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT....
Hi! I’m trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that’s useful). Obviously don’t wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn’t know where!...
Could lemmy be used as a private self hosted forum?...
I recently discovered AVHzY CT3 and I liked it. But looks like the firmware is proprietary. Do you know any testers with open firmware?
Using php + sql and maybe a little javascript is generally an OK-ish method that has few strings attached and runs on anything. However there are a lot of modern frameworks that let you do a lot more stuff. There things like django, firebase, blazor, asp net or whatever but what FOSS equivalent to this “next gen” web...
I would like to track my usage of Android apps and limit them if possible. Is there an opens source alternative for Google’s Digital Wellbeing app?
C# is a useful object oriented programming language. You can generally do the same stuff as you can in C++ but as a game modder there is 1 huge advantage C# has over C++ and that’s the way it handles include path orders, or it’s lack thereof....
Ads and open source. Is it possible to see them together?

So I was posting on this thread which is a meme about how everything is Chromium (except Firefox obviously) and was replying to somebody talking about needing the “Linux of browser engines”....
I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software....
I found two apps that seem to be violating the AGPL license. They both use the AGPL-licensed lemmy-js-client library, which means the apps themselves should also use the same license (which is the whole purpose of Copyleft). But they aren’t. I don’t know if Lemmy developers and contributors are aware of this....
Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?
I’m looking for a FOSS alternative to Spotify, preferably one that works across Android, MacOS, and Windows....
Edit with the gathered answers:...
I’ve wanted to contribute to open source projects for years. Ive contributed to a few things in the past, but my expertise just isn’t in programing (I’m a physicist), so it’s hard to contribute meaningfully. Recently, I’ve heard about some open source silicon manufacturing and I’m intrigued, this is something I think...
Personally, I’d be more willing to share diagnostics if it’s possible to preview them before sending. This is especially true for FOSS since it has a large user space interested in privacy....
I’m currently using a self hosted instance of XWiki on my NAS to write down long term notes just for myself. But it runs very slow with the database and limited hardware ressources. And since I only access it from my Windows PC on my LAN I figured I’d just need an application that does the same job and save the files on my...
It’s hard to see examples of FOSS being used widely between people. This could be the 2nd time after Mastodon that a FOSS project receives massive attention....
