Title.

I posted this on [email protected] and [email protected] but got no response

I’ve been using the Google Office suite for the past 10 years and been looking for an alternative for a while. Degoogling is a hard process. I mostly use the office suite and the files storage. I teach in college and Univ, so I need to be able to access my files and presentations from different computers. I curently have 200gb...

Hi, recently I thought about lemmy and came into the conclusion, that it lacks one thing to be a true competition for reddit and stackoverflow and that is the search engine and user visibility....

I have forked a project’s source code on GitHub. The program takes a private key as an input and that key must never leave the client. If I want to share a pre-built executable as a release it is essential that I can prove beyond reasonable doubt that it is built from the published source....

I work at a non-profit which funds development on some OSS tools. In the past, we have used BountySource to fund fixes for specific bugs/github issues, but it appears that devs are having issues with BountySource not paying them. Bad news....

It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could...

Like the title says. My dad was trying to get into designing since hiring people for it was getting expensive. we use linux(debian 12) and he has very basic computer knowledge and can’t afford the industry grade software(too expensive in our country)...

Not sure how many people were suffering from it, but Google Photos became adamant about pushing ads. I couldn’t find a replacement in Google Store which wasn’t doing the same. Downloaded F Droid, used alternative to website to find apps, downloaded and now the problem is solved. You can use Google Files to install the F...

I’ve come to realize that a lot of foss android apps are pretty outdated and usually abandoned. Is that even safe to use? Like even the fdroid archive repository, are those safe to use? I’m still rather new to the foss world, but in my mind it seems a very outdated app is probably not safe or am I missing something here?

This lovely community helped me find a few great FOSS options to deduplicate my out of control photo library, so thanks to all!...

I recall hearing about Alovoa a year ago and while it sounds nice with no ads or paid features, being open source, and private data being encrypted I have to imagine the userbase is incredibly small relative to other services. Google Play lists it at over a thousand downloads but it’s also available through F-Droid so that may...

Hi, soon Im gonna start giving e-lessons and I would really like to use some open source solutions. I will need communicator, calendar and whiteboard app. Any recomendations?

Hello everyone! This is my list of FOSS software I use 😃...

So, ya know when you have a ton of media files, all the photos, videos, design files etc. and your computer turns into a maze, and you can’t find the damn exit? After smashing my head on the keyboard enough times attempting to find that one clip, I decided to go DIY and build something myself. That’s how WrangleBot was born....

The stock app converts my longer texts into a URL with broken text, which is frustrating. I used to use Signal until they dropped SMS support. Any good alternatives?

I read that The Internet Archive is having financial and legal troubles, despite being one of the most important projects on the internet....

Is this a thing because ive been trying to get into gamedev but i cant code at all and ive been trying for so long now but i just cant. I know theres godot but there visual scripting makes so sense and can be strange at times....

I would donate to (and have donated to some of) the following:...

Any recommendations for a splitwise equivalent for android? An initial search on fdroid only shows apps last updated in 2019. “Split it easy” lacks the ability to split bills paid by multiple people. I also liked the ability to use foreign currency in splitwise.

Is there a free alternative to Google Sites that’s open source? I want one with free custom domains, not subdomains.

There used to be XClipper...

There are some really nice music players out there but most of them work in this kind of tree way where they show you a small image of the album, and below all of the songs, or worst, directly show you all of the songs. I generally browse by looking at album covers and there I decide what to listen, so being able to look at the...
