Firefox. Fuck chrome amiright
- LibreWolf, a privacy-optimized fork of Firefox
- Mull, hardened Firefox for Android.
- EteSync with self-hosted Etebase, an end-to-end encrypted solution for syncing calendars and contacts.
- Molly, a hardened Signal fork for Android.
- Accrescent, a secure, alternative app store for Android. Still in an early stage of development though.
- UnifiedPush, a privacy-friendly notification system.
- LibRedirect, a browser extension that automatically redirects you to private frontends for privacy invasive websites.
- movie-web, a web app that let’s you watch any movie/tv show for free. I highly recommend it.
- Seal, an amazing Android app for downloading videos. YTDLnis is an alternative.
- Cobalt downloader, a website that let’s you download basically everything imaginable from the internet. All kinds of posts, photos and videos from various social media platforms and many other websites.

Gadgetbridge lets you connect and get data from supported smart or fitness watch without manufacturers app. Completely local.
Definitely Syncthing.
Great app to sync my phone with my laptop.
I have an extensive syncthing set up but I find the mobile app a battery hungry
Syncthing-fork which fixes battery drain issue and others as well. I’ll just leave this here for your battery needs: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid/

Fuck Lemmy. I’m only here because there is nothing better (yet)
668 comments in 1 month. It means you like the content of lemmy
Yes. The content produced by the users.
Lemmy devs are making the same mistake reddit made. They’re throwing the users under the bus, when its the users that make the platform.
Android
Audile like SoundHoud and Shazam but open source
Funkwhale a federated cloud community music streamer app
Innertune find new songs from YT Music
Open Video Editor edit videos
Heliboard successor of OpenBoard
Tubular successor of NewPipe
ZipXtract a zip extractor
Wger fitness app
Please just a reminder, consider contributing to these apps developers.
Joplin for notes, and Rclone drastically improves any cloud services.
LogSec for students, project organization, and the aspiring corkboard conspiracy theorist in your life wanting to be the next Mark Lombardi. Use markdown in a free flow style notes app that has powerful tools to connect ideas, so you can focus on the information as opposed the organization. Semantics instead of syntax, as it were.
Where it the data stored, this looks really interesting.
In markdown files, locally on your computer
Oh that’s cool. How easy would it be to sync those files between devices?
I used to use [a Windows 3.1 shrink-wrapped software package] that offered notepads and appointment calendars. Then I switched to Linux. That was 16 years ago. To take the place of the Windows application, I had to write my own list-maker from scratch. Today, there’s a new python3-pyqt5 version (under GNU General Public License) of my script for Linux and Windows desktops to help maintain the equivalent of index-card files. Obviously this is not something you’d use just to be like everybody else. I use it because I don’t really know how others handle their everyday lists and I can’t think of an easier way. If you, too, suspect it ought to be easier than it is, it may be. Please look at Tonto2. Thanks.
ChimeraOS. If you have a non-steam gamerdeck, I recommend backing up the Windows 11 install and replacing it with this outright. It’s based on the Steam Deck OS and makes the process of selecting a game much faster because Windows 11 is bloated as shit.
Helix text editor has been in my rotation recently, I like it a lot as a regular nvim user.
Just migrated from Arch to NixOS recently. Nix+Flakes+Home-manager define my entire system, including config files and pinned package versions, using three files. My system has never felt more stable and reproducible. I even found a flake which lets you declaratively manage Flatpaks (nix-flatpak).
Stremio. A free Netflix-like UX for streaming bittorrents.
movie-web is another cool web app for streaming movies/tv shows
That link is a 404
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is https://movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn’t very straight-forward:
You don’t need to self-host it, you can, but you don’t have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can’t install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn’t support extensions. That’s it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.
It’s project management software made by and for worker cooperatives. It’s useful for any kind of organization where you want to be able to scale without introducing management hierarchy, want members to be able to come and go, and just generally value transparency and spontaneity.
Is it free? It’s suggesting a free trial.
It’s open source, so you can use their official hosted service or you can self host for free.
Kde connect on my phone (iphone) and laptop.
rclone - you can use cheapest cloud or s3 provider and sync encrypted data. Syncthing - sync across devices.
