Watch out for "awesome" lists.

Hey that's so cool!!! I never thought I'd see my list posted around :)

Is it just the name you're wary of or is there something you'd like me to change about it? I'm still working on it when I find new things or stuff changes but I mostly ran out of categories I have knowledge of :(

I think they mean "watch out" as in "keep an eye out for" rather than "be careful of".

On a different note I love that you have Pulsar on there :), I'm one of the team working on it so its always nice to see it mentioned in places.

I love pulsar! I'm still using it, Thank you for keeping it up

RayJW@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

Oh yea, that makes a lot more sense :)

For sure! Super cool meeting you here. I love the work you're doing. Sadly at the moment I can't switch full-time yet (mainly on Wayland HiDPI displays) but I'm always checking the progress on good Wayland support, keep up the work! :)

Some additions to the list you might consider:

Password Managers

  • Strongbox (Mac/iOS)

Messengers:

  • SimpleX

Browsers:

  • Mullvad Browser

Thank you for your recommendations :)

I've added SimpleX and Mullvad Browser, I didn't add Strongbox though. I am already linking to a list containing different projects related to KeePass because I'm not a fan of adding all the clients separately. That's just going to clutter the list because KeePass has so many different implementations and clients for all the platforms.

Oh that's awesome! I have had Awesome Windows lists before but hadn't stumbled across one on Codeberg yet. Nice.

Is there a FOSS alternative to this site?

morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social · 12 pts · 2y

A few days ago the megathread was released

This is my list, maybe it will be useful. :)

Interesting. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

https://alternativeto.net The was a discussion about adding something similar to the sidebar, but mods never responded, so this question will keep coming up

RayJW@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

So someone already mentioned this, but there is this list I maintain on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/RayJW/awesome-foss

There is also this website which is pretty neat if you're searching for an alternative for a specific software: https://www.opensourcealternative.to/

Privacyguides is not in line with foss. They have a couple of bad recommendstions in this regard

Drewski@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Which ones do you think are bad recommendations?

GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

This is the opensource sub. Everything that isn't open source.

I think I heard that this website once recommended Opera as a private browser...

Lemongrab@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Privacytools may have, but not privacy guides. They are community driven and you can contribute easily. Most (if not all) of their categories' criteria require open source

Hmm I checked and I think you're right
