      I’m probably dumb and wrong, but I feel like Firefox is going in a bad direction along with Ubuntu.

      Like I think in 10 years there will be a business tier paid Ubuntu OS that ships with Firefox, and after like 3 or 4 iterations, it will be the IE of the future.

      Current Firefox user. Writing is on the wall. Looking for new browser. And OS.

        I would love that future, to be honest. Currently, Chromium based browsers have no serious competition. Worst case, we can (and have already) forked Firefox (e.g. to Librewolf).

          This comment was written through Lynx. No, seriously.

          Edit: I couldn’t add the screenshot via Lynx as it seems to attempt resolving “.”:

          But anyway:

      Logseq is fantastic. I use it every day at work now for both knowledge and also lightweight task management.

      Maybe it’s just a me problem, but I always have had troubles getting KDE Connect connecting my phone to other devices than my desktop. My phone and laptop could both be connected to the same wifi and be within inches of each other but refuse to acknowledge their existence. But I have my phone on the other side of the world and I swear it’ll be able to connect to my desktop with no problem.

      KDE Connect is a pretty good program, but I can’t recommend it because of the troubles I always have.

        It’s ability to connect your phone to your computer is honestly awful. It would be better if they just openly popped up a window and told you to pick the IP, but they even have to hide that and not support it on every platform.

        My laptop’s plugged in my phone’s on a Wi-Fi network they’re on different VLANs. They could let me search for it by DNS name. They could let me just use a couple of static IPs so when I go from home to work it could find it in either place.

        If you have any equipment beyond a crappy one band ap, it’s just going to fight you every time you want to use it.

        I love the software, I love the plugins It’s just too damn bad that You have to remember to screw with it every time you think you might want to use it.

    Somewhat self promoting for the first two of these items as I’m directly involved. Leaving out the more obvious ones (Linux distro etc.) as they will have been mentioned. I’ll stick to some of the less known things I use.

      Dust has completely replaced du in my every day work. Other tools also written in Rust I make use of include Bat for an upgraded experience from cat, Tokei for quickly counting and recognising codes, and several other security tools like RustScan.

      I learn about Joplin today. Thank you for sharing your list.

      VLC is so bad, IMO. There are so many things it does really badly or doesn’t do at all that any other alternative (like MPC) does well. It doesn’t help that it’s ugly as sin, too.

    Well, there’s the usual: GIMP. Lemmy & Firefish instances. Linux OS. Syncthing. Firefox. Inkscape.

    qOwnNotes is cool and I don’t hear much about it.

    Also shout out to libre games. GZDoom and UnCiv mostly. But MOSTLY GZDoom. GZDoom is a platform, not a game.
