One of these is not like the others

Just FYI, you accidentally typed “l” instead of “)”.

Maybe !upliftingnews@lemmy.world could work.

Also in South Asia and the Middle East.

… Are you shitposting?

I’m pretty happy using GNOME on my laptop. Never tried KDE in my ~6 years of using Linux, maybe if I install it onto another device I will.

No paywall: https://archive.vn/Fl273

Oh, I see now :)

Never heard of Zen, I’m just using vanilla Firefox on my Linux laptop. Will check it out later :)

On my laptop:

• Void Linux
• GNOME (desktop environment)
• gThumb (image viewer that can do simple edits)
• Firefox (the famous web browser)
  • uBlock Origin (content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, etc. out of the box)
  • SponsorBlock (automatically skips sponsor segments in YouTube videos)
• Betterbird (fork of the Thunderbird email client, with various QoL tweaks)
• GIMP (image editor)
• Kdenlive (video editor)
• virt-manager (manage QEMU virtual machines)
• Celluloid (media player)
• yt-dlp (command-line utility for downloading YouTube videos, and the basis of some graphical apps as well)
• Bottles (if you want to use Wine to run Windows apps, without too many headaches)
• Foliate (.epub ebook reader)
• OBS (for screen recording and livestreaming)
• Code - OSS (code editor, “clean” version of Visual Studio Code without “Microsoft-specific customizations”)
• Tenacity (fork of the Audacity audio editor without opt-out telemetry)

On my Android phone:

• F-Droid (app store with FOSS apps only)
• Obtainium (auto-updater for apps hosted on GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
• Heliboard (simple keyboard app)
• Material Files (file manager)
• Metro (local music library player)
• Iceraven (Firefox fork with a few tweaks)
• Voyager (mobile client for Lemmy, similar to the obsolete Reddit clients Apollo and Slide)
• Fedilab (client for Mastodon and similar Fediverse services)
• Termux (run Linux CLI applications on Android)
• Thunderbird for Android (simple email client for Android and the successor to K-9 Mail)
• MJ PDF Reader
• Binary Eye (simple QR code scanner)

Cross-platform:

• LocalSend (simple file transfer between devices on the same network)
• Bitwarden client apps (to manage passwords. I use the Vaultwarden instance @ tchncs.de)
• Mullvad VPN client

If we can count FOSS modifications of proprietary apps:

• YouTube Revanced (the official YouTube app, but you don’t get ads, you can play videos in the background, you get SponsorBlock, etc.) (follow this guide for auto-updates)
• Vesktop (desktop client for Discord, has Vencord preinstalled and supports Linux screen sharing)
• Prism Launcher (Minecraft: Java Edition launcher that allows you to easily manage different “instances” of the game. Good for playing with different mods and/or versions)
• Fabulously Optimized (modpack for Minecraft: Java Edition, that improves performance and adds some minor QoL features)

addendum: I’d like to use Matrix (via the Element client) and Signal more, but most of the people I know are on Discord and WhatsApp instead.

Resprite doesn’t seem to be open-source when I look it up.

Damn, I didn’t know Screenbox exisited. I’ll start using it on my Windows desktop

Same in Pakistan. People tend to use a lot of English words in Urdu, even when an equivalent native word exists. For example, the proper way to say “What’s the time?” is “کیا وقت ہوا ہے؟” (“kiya waqat hawa hay?”). But a lot of people will say “کیا ٹائم ہے؟” (“kiya time hay?”) instead. But of course, there are also loanwords such as “واشنگ مشین” (washing machine) and “کمپیوٹر” (computer).

If you consider lemmy.ml and hexbear.net “most extreme” then sure.

No prob anyway … You explained the meaning of “Steam Depot” to those who may not know.

That’s what I meant by “Steam Depots”.

You could download pre-installed games (e.g. from SteamRIP.net, or Steam Depots from cs.rin.ru)

Same for Microsoft Designer tbh

Eh, it didn’t work for me. Maybe some other site will, though. (Ignoring the fact that we can already run an uncensored Stable Diffusion locally anyway…)

Personally Elamigos works for me but not Fitgirl
