What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • Seal (Android)

    It's an audio/video downloader that uses yt-dlp internally.

    It's not only useful for YouTube, it can download media from most sources.

    It also has a little "quick download" share target that comes handy when browsing YouTube (Music) and Po...other sites with tons of media 👀

  • Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...
  • Probably a combination of free/libre and gratis. Thing is,I was amazed at the speed of it compared to Windows (at the time I had XP).

    My first incursion was with Puppy Linux circa 2010, then Ubuntu circa 2012, and now I want to hop to another distro but don't know which.

  • Oh the wonders of technology
  • One of my first smartphones, I don't remember the brand, but it was a Chinese knockoff, even had a TV tuner, with a built-in antenna that retracted into the case. I had to stay in the hospital for a few days and it was great. This was back around 2010.

  • Who was your first?
  • Puppy Linux on an old Celeron @ 333MHz, with 160MB of RAM and 4GB of disk space.

    I was amazed at the speed compared to Windows XP and even 98SE. It weighed about 100MB but had quite a few applications like mtpaint, Inkscape, Abiword, some spreadsheet program (I don't remember which was it, don't think it was GNUmeric), mplayer, some lightweight browser (I think it was Midori), even XChat.

    The only (and BIG) problem is that you basically ran everything as root.

    Some time later I bought a more powerful PC (Intel something dual core @ 3GHz, 4GB RAM and 500GB disk), and used the pre installed Windows 7 for some time before installing Ubuntu (I think 12.04) and I've been using it since.

  • What's everyone playing?
  • Finished playing Summon Night Swordcraft Story GBA, playing Ghost Trick Phantom Detective NDS, and started yet again Final Fantasy IV this time on the GBA, all emulated in my Android phone thanks to Lemuroid.

    Also started playing Resident Evil 3 PSX on my Android tablet (also Lemuroid).

  • But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!
  • I have a laptop still with Windows 10. I got it from my late sister about 4 years ago, booted it up, went and installed Ubuntu (18.04 at the time), and never touched Windows again.

    I later read somewhere that W10 was forcibly upgrading itself to W11, so I'm afraid to even boot into it. Should probably take some time to copy everything important over and finally nuke it.

    For reference, I've been using Linux since around 2012.

  • WARNING: May be a little NSFW. Dick Figures - Y U So Meme? (Ep #17)

    I haven't seen this posted here, but it brings back memories.

    What game do you play to just chill?
  • Basically Loopy in Simon Tatham's Puzzles, available on Linux, Windows, and Android (F-Droid), when I don't want to be stressed.

    Otherwise I just play some retro/old school games like Final Fantasy (started IV a few days ago), (Free)Doom, AssaultCube or Cave Story when on my laptop.
