AnyType is an open-source alternative to Notion which recently launched:

https://anytype.io/

I last ran it myself a couple of years ago, and it was fine. These days I'm using Beeper, and I haven't had any dropouts as an end user. If there are issues, they're dealing with it not me.

During the protests, Reddit was very high on both the Block and Lower lists. Quite interesting that this has changed. I still have mine set for Lower.

The best thing about Kagi is never again seeing Quora, W3Schools, or Pinterest in results.

Yes and no. No, in that the bridge code is published, and it takes no action other than re-encrypting your message with the destination auth. But you have to trust that server. If you don't trust the server, then you can run your own. Running your own Matrix server isn't all that hard; I've done it before and there's an Ansible playbook which does all the heavy lifting for you. But these days I prefer someone to run it for me.

No it won't have your credentials, but you will authorise the bridge as a device, like you would with the web app.

Apart from the new Beta features, I've found 90% of my Photoshop workflow is replicated in Photopea

edit: I am an idiot - Photopea is not open source. Although it will help remove a reliance on Windows.

Would https://anytype.io/ be a replacement? It's very new so you might not have heard of it. It's designed like Notion, but it might have everything you need.

If your needs are more simple, https://notesnook.com/ could be worth looking into.

Other FOSS options are Joplin and Logseq. I'm an Obsidian user myself; not FOSS but the storage format is completely open which is the most important to me.

That's what beeper.com does. It's also open source, but they handle running it for you.

But absolutely I agree that it doesn't remove WhatsApp from your life, and that's a pain point for me also when I'm working with services in Asia, who like Brasil predominantly work from WhatsApp.

If you don't like Beeper, you could try these guys who host a managed solution (means you don't have to deal with any issues), and let's you offer the service to others:

https://etke.cc/

You can use a FOSS app at your end to chat with WhatsApp users, if this isn't something you're already aware of. Element.io plus a bridge. Beeper.com is a turnkey platform that sorts it all out for you.

It doesn't help replace WhatsApp as a platform, but perhaps it would suit you?

Well now you are a moron for cherry picking and a moron for editing comments after replies.

Thankfully Lemmy has timestamps. My comment was edited 5 minutes before yours was made, not after:

You seem to have a large chip on your shoulder and I'm not sure why. I haven't said anything insulting to you, and yet the stream of vitriol continues.

You are treating Americans as a monolith.

I am not. The only thing I've done is respond to your claim that "most of us didn’t want to be in Vietnam, most of us isn’t didn’t want us to be in Iraq", and let you know that it's not factually correct. Most Americans did support both of those wars at the start.

There should not be any period where the majority of Americans thought invading Iraq was a good idea. This part is what the problem is.

I notice you didn't actually respond to my point, and then you got angry and started calling names.

First:

most of us didn’t want us to be in Iraq.

Then:

The public supported for the war in Iraq

What you're saying is there was a period of time where the war had support of the public. This is what Deceptichum is saying is not normal. There should not be any period where the majority of Americans thought invading Iraq was a good idea. This part is what the problem is.

most of us didn’t want to be in Vietnam, most of us isn’t didn’t want us to be in Iraq.

I think change starts by taking an honest assessment of the situation, and the statement above is easily disproven:

It doesn't matter that public support shifted later - of course people feel bad about doing something bad after the fact. But at the time, most Americans did want you to be in Vietnam and most Americans did want you to be in Iraq.

I'm sure that the people in your social circle do disagree with those wars and do disagree with some of the more recent things which have happened, but you need to understand that sometimes the majority does sadly support some very bad things.

Very crap article:

You share it to the Omnivore app. Couldn't be easier.

It does neat things like unfolds Twitter threads also.

Another vote for Omnivore. It syncs great into Obsidian also.

Thanks!

Just get a Trezor. It's open source both the software and the hardware, battle-tested, and very easy to use.

You literally said: "In this context, the act of being very pretentious".

and I don’t actually think bitcoin is anonymous

You can pay with XMR:

I definitely agree with you though, it is a negative for Kagi. It would be nice if they let you pay direct via crypto or other methods.
