Collabora Office. It’s a free LibreOffice fork for iOS/iPadOs. I stumbled across it when I taught regular expressions to my pupils and only had MS Office at hand, on the school computers, which is crap at searching for pattern matches in documents. Libre Office is really good at that. And all my pupils have iPads and they could use Collabora Office.
Firefly III this is an amazing financial tracking and budgeting tool that literally saves me so much time and money, I even donate monthly since it’s so good and essential to me that I think it’s only fair that the developer gets something back.
for those of us who aren’t very savvy… is there a way i can use it like a normal app on windows or do i have to be a tech genius? the “getting started” section on github lists a bunch of words that are gibberish to me.
This is meant to run hosted (like a website), so it needs a server setup.
If it all sounds like gibberish then you don’t understand what a lamp stack or a docker container is it’s unlikely you’ll be able to install it on your own in a way that is useful or that you can maintain for security.
You could possibly hire someone to install it on your behalf - but given that it’s dealing with your finances I would be hesitant to do so.
If you are on Android try the Cashew app - has a paid tier but it’s unlikely you’ll need it and is minimally intrusive.
What @whereisk said below, but instead I’d recommend You Need A Budget (YNAB). YNAB is amazing, and despite not liking paying for subscription services, I keep using it and not getting firefly (and I do self host my own things). It’s like $100 a year and will save you far more than that if you use it correctly. Check them out: www.youneedabudget.com
Make sure to read their intro stuff on why they recommend doing things the way they do, as active budgeting isn’t for everyone.
YNAB is a life changer. If you buy into the way they orient budgeting, its amazing. I think their envelope style budgeting is the easiest way ive budgeted before, but i know its not for everyone.
Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!
IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.
Full transparency I run the !owncast community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.
For 3D Modelling / Printing, if you have even a little bit of programming / scripting ability, OpenSCAD is amazing.
It’s basically just a small scripting language for generating 3D objects and performing 3D modelling operations and its so handy to be able to store important info as precise variables, and create new objects and cuts and stuff just with for loops and if statements.
I use the web version a lot of the time, and while it could use a little work, it’s pretty amazing.
No, I honestly just started here, and started playing around with the example, and then started turning that into what I wanted and googling when I needed to: ochafik.com/openscad2/
I also recommend trying out FreeCAD and seeing which clicks with you. I found FreeCAD’s sketch system more intuitive, though you have to be pretty careful about your order of operations while building your hierarchy.
Would this work at a professional level? I haven’t tried Gimp either in a long time these days, but I think it hasn’t gotten much better? I think most of everything else I’ve “de-adobe’d” and either use FOSS or other proprietary software like DaVinci Resolve or Bitwig with reasonable purchase options, which I could all use on Linux but I don’t think I can really leave LR+PS as they’re so core to my daily work.
Floorp. It’s open source fork of Firefox made by mostly Japanese developers. It’s noticably faster, privacy focused than the original and have more customisation options.
That looks too good to be true, do you use it? I’ve been not as happy with Firefox lately. They keep a record of all my bookmark history and update so often it makes your head spin. I couldn’t tell if the updates are because they’re doing something or it’s so popular that they need to do that for security.
Not happy with Firefox ? For a more privacy friendly Firefox fork check LibreWolf : librewolf.net You don’t have to remove Firefox, you can run both at the same time.

It seems like their modifications and the resulting application are proprietary.
The MPL is an open-source license designed to protect its own code. If you modify MPL code, you need to publish those modifications under the MPL. That’s the focus of the license. There’s no “viral” requirement to affect the licensing provisions of the rest of your code.
Ruffle: You may not know it but most old Flash games (and basically every anmiation) can be played again with this, modern and in a Browser sandbox. Website owners can include it in the backend with a few lines of code and all flash games work again automatically, and it’s also available as desktop app :D
