The social ecosystem around FOSS is so horribly toxic. There’s an “upper middle class” of power user that aren’t quite developers, that insult everyone with less experience, and openly harass the developers themselves. I honestly don’t know how FOSS can expand adoption as long as these people exist. They are a dual-edged sword that disincentivizes both new adoptees and long term app support.

N64, Dreamcast and Saturn be like 😠

😂 It wasn’t until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.

I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!

If one wanted to avoid using for free anything that had a fascists hand in it’s creation you’d be living in a mud hut. Seriously.

I can’t help you so I’m going to rant about something not related.

Gramps is great once it’s up and running but it’s so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.

Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of “Create new birth/wedding/etc event” from the person page.

I’m confused, Omarchy is MIT licensed. It means you can use it and keep all the rights. You are under no obligation to financially or politically support the people who contribute code and they do not get a say with how you use the software.

EDIT: Also literally posting this to a Lemmy instance…

stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?

It absolutely is!

You: “Now listen child, and heed my tale of woe…”

Them: “drop it one banana”

Proton is arguably the best option if you’re trying not to rely on Google, and they are slowly building a suite of apps with the goal of directly competing with Google Drive, Calendar, Sheets, etc.

boooo

Is this the Google Keep replacement we’ve all been waiting for?

Yeah the best option is the old PC you already have. Unless you’re transcoding video or into LLMs it will be more than enough.

Crude but effective

Ten people saying yes to your face then not showing up makes me think something else is going on here. Did you send a text the day before, too?

Seeing this always makes me consider carring a pack of stickers on me that say something embarrassing on it

I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now

Finally, we’ve invented a machine that saves mankind from the drudgery of getting to know other people!

“I want a way to record the young ladies at the gym without Meta knowing about it”

I’ve also used duck.com’s free email masks with great success

Not quite what OP is talking about but useful in most cases
