What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
Do you think Proton Unlimited worth the price?
I’ve thinking about purchasing Proton Mail Plus only and just only to have IMAP support, but I’ve looked all the features that the Proton Unlimited Plan have, and honestly I believe it’s worth, but I hate having all the eggs in the same basket....

What odt editor for Android do you recommend?
I searched this community and couldn’t find anything about odt, I found a few odt viewers on F-Droid and Aurora when I searched ‘odt’, but the only editors for odt, were ironically the proprietary Google Documents and Microsoft Word....
Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)
In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....
StromAmpel: An application using an AZ-Delivery ESP8266MOD 12-F to display the current electricity mix for Germany in a traffic light kind of way (codeberg.org)
Inspired by this Mastodon account, I programmed an ESP8266 microcontroller to act as a traffic light, indicating the current electricity mix. Check it out on Codeberg! It uses an API from the Fraunhofer Institute and the parts cost around 5€. In my shared flat we use it as an indicator on when to run demanding devices, like...

Earth beyond six of nine planetary boundaries (www.science.org)
This planetary boundaries framework update finds that six of the nine boundaries are transgressed, suggesting that Earth is now well outside of the safe operating space for humanity. Ocean acidification is close to being breached, while aerosol loading regionally exceeds the boundary. Stratospheric ozone levels have slightly...
Razzia war rechtswidrig, hat aber keine Folgen? (netzpolitik.org)
Ich finde es absurd, dass eine Razzia als rechtswidrig eingestuft werden kann, das aber keinerlei Folgen hat. Wieso kann und darf die Staatsanwaltschaft immer wieder folgenlos das Gesetz brechen? Wie ist das mit einem Rechtsstaat vereinbar?
Why should sustainable investments make sense?
So let’s assume that there was an easy way to make a sustainable investment by investing into a great fond. So in this hypothetical fond only shares from truly great companies exist. Why should this make sense from a sustainability perspective? Unless the companies in that fond are selling their shares for the first time, the...
Can't change display name
So somehow I can’t change my display name. When I go to settings I can change the value, but when I click save and refresh, the old value is still there. I have this problem for a few weeks already, so I don’t think I’m just too impatient. It seems to be similar for other settings like 2FA, but it’d especially annoying...
FOSS equation plotter?
So currently I use Grapher for plotting equations. I’ve used it for years and it works great, but it doesn’t seem to be open source. So I looked for a FOSS alternative, but didn’t find one on F-Droid or the rest of the internet. Do you know of a FOSS alternative? What do you use? Do you prefer web applications (like...
