What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

  • Synchthing definitely needs some tweaking until it works the way you want it. I've been using it for the psst five years and I'm pretty happy with it today. I have several folders synched between two servers and a handful of devices, including my Android phone. It has completely replaced Dropbox for me.

    • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • Switch to another server or start your own?

    • I had a neighbour friend who was not a mortician but embalmed his own wife.

  • Used to be seventh day Adventist. I hear jehovas witness branched out from that originally.

    • Dell kills the XPS brand

  • I honestly still like Thinkpad. Using a T14s currently.

    • What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck?

  • Except for a cheap stand I bought on Amazon, I don't use any accessories. My steam deck is either docked to my monitor or used in handheld mode. When docked, I use it mostly in desktop mode with mouse and keyboard. I use the same setup with my laptop from work when I work from home.

    • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?

  • I just started Mass Effect Legendary Edition a few weeks ago on steamdeck. I'm somewhere in ME2 currently and really enjoying it. I played the original ME back in the day but never finished it. This time I plan to finish the whole trilogy.

    • And where did you get that info?

  • According to other sources I have found, the show had them for the first seven seasons. They were removed when Larry David left the show.

    • And where did you get that info?

  • I thought all the episodes had that. I never really watched the show much though.

    • Fox News host gives Trump voters 1 huge reality check: ‘Let’s be realistic’

  • Only TSMC can produce the SoC which is a huge problem. An US produced iPhone would be something quite different no matter the price.

    • Do I have to write commands in Leisure Suit Larry 7?

  • It's been a while, but I think some puzzles are only solvable with commands that are typed. It's a hybrid system.

    • What is the first graphics card you got?

  • I forgot the first one, but I remember I upgraded it to an ATi Rage Pro so I could play Baldur's Gate, which needed 8 megabytes of video ram. Later I paired it with a Voodoo 2. I think it was the Diamond Monster one. And that one got replaced with a Matrox G200, which got replaced with Kyro II. I picked some odd cards back then.

    • Please.

    • Stand in the rule together

  • His color cycled animated pixel art is fantastic. I had his "living worlds" app as wallpaper on my phone for quite a while.

    • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

  • For Android users, I highly recommend NewPipe as a YouTube client

    • Who is your favorite video game developer?

  • Subset Games

    • How is Open Source project work paid?

  • I think consulting would be a better word

    • Saudi man earns world record for 444 game consoles hooked to one TV

  • Does he have 444 controllers hooked up well? Not really that useful if not.

    • Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS

  • Windows 3.1 doesn't even come with a TCP/IP stack. It's actually pretty safe.

    • Double Dragon 3D revival announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC

  • I guess it was early? I was released before most classics in the genre.

    • Your first anime show/film

  • I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin's. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.
