In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail....
If you have a stable IP, there also free top level domains .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ over at www.freenom.com . Their frontend is down sometimes, but once you have a domain and are point it to an IP, you should be dandy.
Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
The reality is, though, that everything is an evolution of something else.
As a kopimist, there is no problem with that statement. However, I do live in the real world where nigh everything is nuanced. I could understand a copyright on an evolution of Mickey Mouse that were recognizable as being inspired by Mickey Mouse, but different enough to be its own entity. Simply adding color should not be considered a copyrightable evolution IMO.
I wish there were an alternative in a sane programming language that I could actually contribute to. For some reason PHP is extremely sparse in its logging and errors mostly only pop up on the frontend. Having to debug errors after an update and following some guide to edit a file in the live env that sets a debugging variable, puts the system in maintenance mode and stores additional state in the DB is scary.
Plus PHP is so friggin slow. Nextcloud takes noticeable time to load nearly anything. Even instances hosted by pros that only host nextcloud are just slow.
So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....
I tried it out one single time and it failed to install or update or something. Had to then find all the places it had inserted itself into in my system. Later I found out it’s based on some LISP variant. Even later I found out you can’t install firefox with it because of gnu or something?
That all combined dissuaded me from touching it again.
nix has terrible documentation, but it’s kinda worked for me, so I’m sticking with it.
Looking at that list, no option seems particularly good at the moment.
opensource.builders looks nice, but has the code on github and the DB is a single JSON file. Editing requires running the thing locally and then creating a PR.
switching.software is a single page that lists all the software. Upside is that the code is codeberg, not github.
prism-break.org/en/ is focused on privacy, very out of date and code is on github.
Privacy Guides is also all about privacy, so it won’t be a generic alternative finder.
I stopped looking after that.
Up to the mods which one they want to pick, but honestly, a link to alternatives might cut down on the “I’m looking for a recommendation for an alternative” posts.
I honestly thing we need that third party instance that audits proprietary code for the licenses it uses to see if there’s a breach. Then they could sue all the companies that don’t abide by the license. Most likely GAFAM would lobby against such a thing because they know they use a lot of opensource stuff that could force them to opensource their stuff, but honestly, fuck them. They’ve made a killing on the backs of free work.
I agree. Either use a business source license like Elastic and others, or fight for the installation of a third party that audits proprietary code for license use and sues if the rules haven’t been followed. It’s why I like the creative commons. They are quite realistic. Most of their licenses say: if you use this commercially, you have to pay. If not, then it’s free.
People who claim business source licenses are “not opensource” sound like such capitalist shills to me. It’s as if they’re shouting from the rooftops “it’s OK to fuck over opensource developers because principles matter more than reality”.

Just FYI, There’s a button called “print screen” or “PrntScr” or something similar on most keyboards. If you hit that, it’ll take a screenshot that you can edit and upload :)
That’s for the courts to decide. It’s difficult to escape modern life though. Also, banning ads completely is a near impossible task IMO. It would be like banning messaging. Nailing down the definition of an ad would always lead to people finding ways around that.
“An ad is a message aiming to sell a product or service” --> define selling, define product, define service. Once those are defined then there’ll be a way around that too. “I’m not aiming to sell a product or service, I’m just informing the public that it exists”. Where would you go from there? You can’t make the act of informing a person of a product’s existence a crime: “Hey bro, I bought this new product and -” “OMG, you’re such a criminal for telling me about a product”.
