I use an M2 Caddy with a 1TB NVME SSD to boot into Aurora Linux on my work laptop.
The laptop keeps it’s Windows license intact and when I need to move to a new laptop, it’s plug and play work.
CUPS works with every printer in my office out of the box.
I am the user with less IT support tickets, I don’t require Windows, Office nor Adobe licenses.
IT is happy, I’m happy. Every day is pure bliss.
Faustina, it’s the FOSS alternative to the Kindle’s default font.
Isn’t this the way XMPP does it’s XEPs?
now that Affinity is coming to Linux
Wait, what?
Edit: I’ve only found this and if this site were to be trusted, I would take it with a grain of salt. https://techcentral.co.za/affinity-for-linux-canvas-next-big-move-could-reshape-the-desktop-software-market/274861/
Agreed, if you grew using another program, switching is hard unless it’s UX/UI is superb.
When I ditched Adobe, Inkscape was a breeze. GIMP is hard AF and Krita a bit easier but it doesn’t have the features I need. I ended up using Photopea, and now I’ve tried Affinity and it’s the best Photoshop alternative I’ve tried yet.
Collabora is looking pretty good so far. Still a few rough edges but easier than any other FOSS office software.
If it was posted on a FOSS platform like Write.as, Ghost or Wordpress, you would have gotten away with it. Even if you didn’t host it yourself.
AGPL works for me. Good to know.
I just avoid using “source available” and software that has artificially paywalled features, the most common paywalled feature is OIDC because most devs seem to think that it’s a business only feature.
I pay for Home Assist Cloud, because I want to support them, every feature is available if I wanted to self host it. I freaking love them.
The only exception being Bitwarden, although they have paywalled features in their selfhosted builds I don’t know of a better-for-me alternative. I could self-host Vaultwarden, but I pay for their subscription just because I want to support them.
My point is, if it’s justified, I’ll pay. Otherwise, I’ll keep using standalone RSS apps on my devices and just backup my OPML every once in a while.
Is the selfhosted version able to also take email newsletters? I hate them and I’m using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to turn them into RSS, but I wish I had an all in one solution.
Also, is it fully FOSS or is it open core?
This is freaking awesome
Great video, probably the best I’ve seen from LTT.
By supporting WebDav your app will instantly gain the possibility to sync with every OS and a gazillion apps. It is not the best protocol, but it’s everywhere and it’s very good when implemented well. For example, CopyParty’s WebDav implementation is blazing fast.
Afterwards, you could enhance the experience by supporting websockets so that contributors can build clients specific to your project. This will take much more time to reach the user with a usable sync app, but can potentially end up in a superior experience.
Can it use files already on my server?
Will it support WebDAV?
Looking great!
The heroes behind NVK and much more.
I bet it was done on purpose, to discourage companies and drive them to their paid services. Since it’s purpose is to serve as a stable testing build.
Office 365 has desktop clients too. In the case of Collabora context, if they give that away without a subscription, it can generate interest in their cloud services at a sustainable cost, since a large part of the desktop client codebase uses the same tech found in the web client.
I’ve tried several WebDav clients, and I’ve found that the great majority will work great. Their performance will depend on the server. For example, Nextcloud was slow. CopyParty was blazing fast, as if it was a local folder.
You might want to checkout CopyParty too, it’s UX/UI sucks, but you don’t need to see it, since you can use it with almost any client on any platform via any protocol.
AMD has been pure bliss for me. ~3 years ago, when I distrohopped my 3080 TI sucked on every distro.
He didn’t mention security concerns.
I’m using it with CoMaps, freaking great.
