Please don’t promote that guy.

+1 for RustDesk. Basically open-source de-shittified TeamViewer.

Not centralized, no phone numbers needed

Unfortunately there is no “Discord, but (federated/selfhostable) E2EE FLOSS” and at this point I don’t understand why. There isn’t even “Discord, but (centralized/proprietary) E2EE”.

They’re not going to starve when my friends share their media which I wouldn’t have bought anyway with me.

I’m not sure how trustworthy it is nowadays, I think there was some controversy back in the day, but: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/

Download uncompressed/remuxed UHD BluRays from any torrent site or Usenet. Some movies still look shitty because of messed up mastering (too grainy, too dark, too whatever), though.

Dang, fitgirl is doing some real reverse engineering here.

It’s a web front-end, so if you host it somewhere, you can access it over your mobile browser. Maybe you can even host it on your phone via Termux, but I’m not sure.
I’d say for phones it’s not ideal either way though.

So guilty by association, got it.

More info about Chomsky please.

You linked to the same comment twice

In my opinion it is really hard to establish business processes that get the blessing of every open-source community member there is. Criticizing what is made is easy, implementing everything perfectly isn’t. I like to judge things by their practical effect and AFAICT FUTO has had a positive effect for their member projects and their respective communities. Does that mean I wouldn’t prefer if everything they did was true to the open-source principles? No, of course not, but that doesn’t mean we should bring our pitchforks, either.

That being said, I’m not actually that knowledgable about how FUTO operates, so any piece of information that might make me change my opionion about them is welcome.

Edit: Okay, never mind. I thought I was aware of all of FUTO’s controversies and therefore didn’t re-read the article before posting. Seems there are some more problems than just not conforming to the traditional definition of open-source.

Check out TLS client certificates.

There never was a controversy about SyncThing, only a bit of drama about the ownership of an unofficial Android client. I’m still using it, but it’s pinned to an older version for now.

This looks fun. I think I’m going to try that.

I’ve also just randomly noticed that the link on alternative.to doesn’t work for whatever reason: https://alternativeto.net/software/monica/?toid=nametag--never-forget-a-name-again

Tailwind plus is a one time payment, not a subscription

Ah, I wasn’t aware.

Why would the revenue be down because AI when “it’s more popular than ever”?

Have you heard of USB sticks?
