spinningindaffodils, (edited ) in Any bookmarking solution?

Would raindrop.io be helpful? I use the free tier and they have a web app. They also have a lot of integrations to sync with other services but I’ve never used those.

Looks like dropbox for bookmarks. Privacy policy is not good.

SheeEttin, in What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it

I’m not sure what this guy is smoking, but I don’t want any. He talks about licenses being different from contracts, but there isn’t any significant difference. He talks about developers getting paid instead of releasing their work for free, but there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing this right now. Plenty of products offer business licenses separate from their copyleft licenses. Anyone who releases their software under GPL or whatever chooses to do that, because that’s what they want to do. If they wanted to make it only source-available, or to sell source access, they would have.

Strawberry has built-in support for ListenBrainz.

isVeryLoud, in FINALLY! Worlds First Mid-Range Libreboot GAMING PC! GTA V - Max Settings - 1440p (Dell T1650 Mobo)

Does GTA V count as open-source now that the code leaked?

Best you’re gonna get is shared-source. Open-source requires you can redistribute said program with modifications. Therefore, you need a license explicitly granting those rights.

fafff, in Hello, world! - A technical overview of the software powering bgammon.org

Excellent writeup!

I had the pleasure to try the client last week and it felt clean and responsive!

GarbageShoot, in Thoughts on Post-Open Source?

“Post-Open Source”

Overly-teleological modernist framing has hopelessly fucked up tech discourse. Too much declaring things the future and hoping people will just believe you.

AstridWipenaugh, in Thoughts on Post-Open Source?

This is exciting! He’s come up with an economic principle where entities engage in an equitable exchange of goods for money where the consumer of the good pays for the value they receive. This could really change everything! I wonder what they’ll call it?

Sticker, in Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

I’ve tried a lot of different note app. The best seamless solution I’ve found is Nextcloud + a simple notepad with the ability to autosave text to a txt file.

For example, suitable note-taking apps: Markor, Denkzettel, Lesser pad.

These applications have auto-save and auto-export to txt file. You can also select the Nextcloud folder to upload your notes to the cloud server.

fox2263, in Zed - A code editor written in rust by Atom's Developer.

Can confirm that’s it’s very fast. Just lacking plugins at the moment.

I will watch it with great interest

timbuck2themoon, in UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat

I’ve used UP for months with regular element and other apps. Works perfectly fine via ntfy. Excited to see more apps using it.

Too bad neochat has been crashing on startup for months 😅

wwwgem, in looking for lightweight launchers but...
@wwwgem@lemmy.ml avatar

Have you looked at KISS? Extremely lightweight and customizable. You can go from the most minimalist approach with text only and selection of apps to show to crash things like visual effects and icons for every single installed app.

Installed several times, never get used to… I’ll try again

wwwgem,
@wwwgem@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s not user friendly at first and that’s certainly why it doesn’t get the love it deserved. But once you figure it out, you can build the launcher you want and never have to go back to the config anymore.

sxan, in Floorp Browser: One of the best fork of firefox in customization
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Why?

I see the web site, but the features listed are common to many other forks. What makes Floorp better than, say, Mull?

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.online avatar

Floorp is available on desktop, while Mull is mostly Android

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

“Mostly?” It’s a desktop program available in the Arch repos. Why is it “mostly?”

wwwgem, (edited )
@wwwgem@lemmy.ml avatar

I use mull on my phone but I can’t find it in arch, that would be nice. Do you have a link?

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

It’s in AUR. There’s also a -bin version.

aur.archlinux.org/packages/mullvad-browser

wwwgem, (edited )
@wwwgem@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh you mean mullvad! They’re two different apps.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Yah, someone pointed out my mistake. Ah, well.

Sethayy,

Idk if the ui would be all that nice but you could try a waydroid setup, its pretty seamless

sag, (edited )

If you wanna go for privacy then Mullvad , Tor or Librewolf. But For customization and stuff floorp is good.
