What's your favourite open source app and why?

  • I certainly love it! It's one of the first things I install

    • As God is my witness, I didn't know earwigs could fly.

  • Harmless in the sense that they aren't dangerous, but they are capable of biting. Source: one was in my headphones a few years back and was biting my ear. I initially thought my headphones were just really itchy.

    In my headphones!

    shudders

    I still check my headphones every time before putting them on now

    • "Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

  • Thank you. That is the same tutorial I used.

    I too encountered those same stumbling blocks.

    I found it was easiest to browse add-ons on my PC and save them to the list there, then subscribe to the list on mobile

    • The stupidity of YT ads these days

    Jump

  • Hosting video content must be insanely expensive so I have some amount of sympathy for YouTube. However, ads earn such a paltry amount that I can hardly fathom how anyone can put up with it.

    The total amount of ad revenue between all sites is only like $12 per user per year. So IMO it is a net benefit to block all ads (save your sanity!) and simply pay the creators of content you like.

    Even just one $5 Patreon sub is worth more than all ads I'm likely to see so I block everything I can and IMO my conscience is clear

  • Firefox beta on Android can use extensions that are designed for desktop. Some only work in desktop mode but so far all the ones I've tried work. The setup is a little complex if the author hasn't marked it as compatible with mobile, but it is possible

    • ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal

    Jump

  • Everyone here is missing the joke. This post is itself sarcastic but it's lost on the non-Rick-and-Morty watchers.

    There are so many layers of detached irony that even this post is sarcastic

    • Reddit protest updates: news on the apps shutting down and Reddit’s fights with mods - The Verge

    Jump

  • As someone who primarily used reddit with accessibility apps (RedReader) this would have been awesome.

    Sadly, reddit doesn't find me valuable enough to even let me try to use the site in a way that is comfortable for me
