What are your favorite non-foss apps?

Jump

  • Sublime Merge for me.

    • What is the best music player that lets you see your collection by album covers?

    Jump

  • Sublime Music is my favorite.

    • Tor’s shadowy reputation will only end if we all use it | Engadget

    Jump

  • You go first.

    • Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?

    Jump

  • Astrovim too.

    • McConnell episode alarms Senate GOP

    Jump

  • What are you talking about? If he goes, Ukraine loses an ally.

    • Twitter Turning Into X Is Set to Kill Billions in Brand Value

    Jump

  • The biggest irony is that with Emerald Boy 100% preoccupied with Twitter, his other companies are flourishing.

    • But you need a car in case you want to buy a lawn strimmer with your weekly shopping in Lidl!

    Jump

  • Same for me in the Pacific NW. I have some small lawn areas, but all I do is occasionally mow whatever happens to grow there. It is mostly grass, but all kinds of other stuff too. We have the same climate as England, where lawns started.

    • The excellent Arc browser is now available for anyone to download

    Jump

  • Well why didn’t you say we get cool trinkets and shiny doodads?! That’s totally worth handing control over the entire internet to a single corporation.

    • "why would i change my passwords?"

    Jump

  • The original idea was that you would take how long it took to brute-force a password, then require the password be changed before that. But we have better hashing now, like bcrypt, where you can tune it so that brute forcing anything would take 100s of years.

    • Is software getting worse?

    Jump

  • Fair point. Maybe there’s only ever been so many good software folks, and they are all working on the same stuff they used to.

    • Is software getting worse?

    Jump

  • Kernels have gotten better. Professional tools have gotten better. Everything on Linux has gotten better. Compilers and drivers too.

    Everything else is built by the lowest bidder and is absolute garbage. And unfortunately, it’s what most people interact with all day long.

    • Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947

    Jump

  • Everyone running to Threads?

    • Typical oil corp ad: "for the love of driving", huge truck driving in empty road

    Jump

  • Everyone is shadow banned from that video. Lol

    • Apple threatens to kill FaceTime and iMessage in the U.K

    Jump

  • We're talking about end-to-end encrypted data here. Even Apple doesn't have it without a backdoor.

    • Alternative to Google Photos

    Jump

  • Mine is only on my local network, but I am usually VPNed in anyway.

    • Best Linux laptop for 2023

    Jump

  • You absolutely don’t have to. They will support you no matter what distro you have. All their custom bits are in the AUR and Nix, for example.

    • Does anyone know when the Beeper apps will be ready?

    Jump

  • Why do you say it’s not open source? I’m using one of their bridges right now to send iMessage to my local matrix server.

    • When you have to update the server

    Jump

  • Try Nix instead of Homebrew.

    • Any open source wrapper for Facebook Messenger?

    Jump

  • Look into Matrix bridges. If you can’t, or don’t want to do all that, check out Beeper. Small monthly fee, but you’re paying someone else to setup and maintain all of it for you.

    • Is this the year California OKs speed cameras?

    Jump

  • People wanna be able to drive like assholes.
