games! in maybe 95% of cases you can find an open alternative to some (non-game) software, but with games it’s the opposite.

i would say that the main proprietary softwares i still use, are video games

playing a game for fun vs playing a game to feel better than others

after a very long time, i’ve stumbled upon this https://thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-usb-bluetooth-40-micro-adapter-tpe-usbbluv4

download blender, turn on optix, and enter the rabbit hole ;)

i love pixelorama, its really nice to use.

also if anyone is interested: i have a PXO plugin for bevy that i dont really maintain actively, but if someone asks i can update it for whatever the latest version of bevy is

for one, obsidian is closed source

did they open source it?

*unless it’s an open source community-driven project

simplex is good as an alternative

IIRC it’s not open source

i use simplex with people i used sms with before, and matrix for everything else

it would be nice, especially for users like me, who only use lemmy on mobile

(also see the issue on github)

Get a password manager.

how was this generated?

i forget is this app proprietary? i know a lot of their apps are

“i just caught the plague”

“it’s cause you’re on that damn orb all the time!”

what are the odds, i watched that episode only a few days ago

on a somewhat related note, you might want to check out the neovim extension, it essentially lets you run neovim inside of VSCod(e/ium) (not just a bunch of shortcuts)

<continue.dev> with a local ollama setup, there’s also tabnine, which can be run locally (i think?)

im not sure about the premium sync features, but syncthing works well
