At long last, linux with microtransactions
I always thought this and all the other sites like it were just SEO bait. The quality of the alternatives is no better than random, though I guess you can discover software you didn’t know existed. One example: I’m always looking for an alternative to Roon. Like Plex for music, plus you can add in tidal or qobuz, so you can essentially listen to anything on your own library, or the streaming services, from anywhere. It also has an incredible metadata system, letting you view for example, all the players on a jazz album, view bios of every one, and easily start to check out some new music that way. It’s unbelievably flawed and poorly run though.
What is alternativeto.net’s suggestion as a replacement? Fucking VLC Media player. The only real contender is PlexAmp, or if you want something similar but only for classical music (and without self hosting your own library), there’s idagio. results like that make me think it’s totally useless
a vr browser/3d browser would be incredible but this ain’t it lmao
good cop bad cop
literally spanish lol
linux is at single digit percentages and that’s including steamdecks so… no, not even clsoe
Let’s make no mistake, this dude isn’t doing this out of some semblance of morals. Dudes an authoritarian dictator
Holy shit. The mad lads did it
Yeah I’m guessing that’s gonna be part of the business model. I don’t personally see it
Awesome, thanks!
can you link that? Sounds like something I may like
Dude! Sidebery is THE best session manager around. You create snapshots and have tons of configuration over how and when to take them. Mine backs up every 5 minutes and keeps a few days worth. Every time some other fuckery has caused me to lose my all my tabs, sidebery has had a perfectly working backup. And it keeps the exact window layout you had. It’s by far the best
Yeah literally anyone can do that on any OS. But it’s a lot clunkier than simply showing tabs side by side in the browser itself
Ummm, keyboard jockey??? Code monkey??? can we get some respect here?
Yeah this unfortunately doesn’t exist the way I’d like it either. I just simply won’t use an ebook reader if it’s just running in the browser. It really needs a dedicated app. There were two awesome ebook readers, one called marvin3, the other I don’t know the name. They both kinda stopped dead end, and since they were unfortunately closed source, even if the community wanted to, we can’t just pick up where the author abandoned the work. one of my dreams is to make a completely floss ebook ecosystem. A central collection/library that can serve to however many clients. A client that’s a full application for ios and android, as well as computers/macs. Also a client for appletv and other tv ecosystems so you can just lay on your couch or on your bed and read without having to actually hold the thing in your hand. Eating popcorn while reading a spy thriller the likes of john lecarre and you will be converted. All of which are as featureful and customizable as marvin. I’d rather not do it myself but it’s just kinda one of those things that really needs to be done!
I’d really love to see the client app have customizable skins/chrome. you could have an elegant woody, a futuristic white tablet, an aged leather bound tome. Or just no theme at all. You could customize the context menu for when you highlight a phrase or a word. Want different actions available on longpress, go for it.
I have written so many pages of features and ideation but haven’t even come up with a name, let a lone started any coding whatsoever 😅
Of course interop would be a central concern. Serve you library to any client that accepts it’s standard api. Add a plugin to the server so it works on whatever client you like! Fully open source so if the project is abandoned, it can be forked an given new life.
…Yeah I really have dreamt about something like this for a looooong time
Different things will work for different organizations. More important than this is whether everyone is on the same page with their workflow in checking PRs. One commit prs might be easy for some workflows and bad for others
Really cool. Anyone know if screenshot + pdf is as good as what raindrop does to archive saved sites? Is it possible to use archive.org or something similar in place or in addition to the builtin archiving?
I like it. Not gonna nitpick. It’s nicer than those microsoft fonts that came out recently
