VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.
I don't know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.
Sorry for being pedantic.

How's your experience with Moonshine / Sunshine? Latency on local network?
gazby@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y
Not OP, but in my house we're very happy with it. Will even work nicely over WiFi, though you do have to manually turn all the settings down for that.
SeekPie@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
Tried it once over my phone's hotspot, had no issues with latency.
Kelly@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
On a home network I was having audio sync issues with RDP. When I switched to moonlight/sunshine that sync issue cleared up.
Its streaming resolution isn't as dynamic as RDP but once its setup it feels pretty close to running locally (on my home LAN).

Resprite doesn't seem to be open-source when I look it up.

Sorry my bad, libresprite was the fork I was thinking of.

I made my own curated list of open source software. Most of the software on there is stuff I use.

Wow, that's cool, thank you! I'll definitely explore it, and I think I'll take a few apps for myself😁

TootSweet@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
FUTO keyboard is not Open Source.
73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de · 0 pts · 1y
It surely is: https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard?tab=readme-ov-file
TootSweet@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
FUTO Keyboard was forked from another project which is Open Source. But the license FUTO keyboard itself is under, by restricting modifications to for non-commercial purposes and forbidding removal of functionality that allows the user to make payments to FUTO, fails to qualify as "Open Source".
73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y
Thx for pointing out.
TootSweet@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
AnySoftKeyboard does. And it's under an Apache 2.0 license which is fully foss.
73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y
Unfortunately AnySoft Keyboard doesn't seem to receive updates anymore, latest release dates back to 2022.
Switched to Heli Board now.

If we can count FOSS modifications of proprietary apps:
addendum: I'd like to use Matrix (via the Element client) and Signal more, but most of the people I know are on Discord and WhatsApp instead.

modus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Looks like a great list, but I can't tell what a lot of them do by name alone.
Can you recommend any open-source desktop personal/small business finance software?
JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 1y
Sorry, I think options like Firefly III for that might not be sufficient for small business, but it was the only great Foss personal finance software for a long time.
Odoo is the gold standard for business. I think they also have a business finance app? It isn't free, but the cost is reasonable.
Otherwise, I use Leantime for project management. If you work in a project-based or contract-based company (like consultancy or design house), then it has a lot of project & product features including time tracking with a plugin. Not financial though.
modus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I'll check those out. Leantime might cover one aspect of what I'm looking for. Thank you for the names.

On android, I guess, it's smth like: heliboard, mull, eternity, tubular (a newpipe fork), antennapod, feeder, simplex, element and slightly patched mercurygram.
As for the desktop, Firefox, keepassxc, anyrun (the app launcher) and cosmic-term would probably be the GUI apps I use most often; occasionally neovide if I feel like drooling on those sick cursor animations, mpv if I want to watch stuff without distractions, or kicad if I'm into making some electronics-related pet project. Other than that, my workflow is mostly terminal-centric, so the fish shell, coreutils, neovim, moreutils -- mostly
vidirfor visual bulk renaming andvipefor editing piped stuff in place (for one-time things that require, say, >2seds) --, and so on.lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
Which browser do you use KeepassXC on? I'm having trouble integrating it with any other browser than Firefox. Tried to integrate it with Brave on Fedora and Mac, lost hours and achieved nothing.
fl42v@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 1y
I don't use browser extensions with it and just copy-paste stuff, unfortunately. Also it's mostly a failsafe in case my vaultwarden instance goes tits up
lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
I see. Okay. Thanks.
danielquinn@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y
What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn't? I'm also curious about neighbours, as I'm still using gBoard and I'd rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.
Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
Tubular has sponsor block too.
Do you mean Heliboard? It supports gesture typing, but you need to import the library you want.
danielquinn@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
It would gBoard's autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I've now installed it with the glide extension and... it's great! Thanks for the reference!
z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y
Thanks. That Heliboard comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I don't really use glide typing, but in case any one's curious: scroll a bit down under this section on Heliboard's Github and you'll find the instructions on how to install the proprietary library. You'll also find a link shortly thereafter that leads you to the repo where you can download the needed library.
Neat little feature I wasn't aware was available for Heliboard. Cheers.
shiftymccool@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y
Try futo keyboard. You don't even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture typing.
Resonosity@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
NewPipe, Seal, Spotube, AntennaPod basically
Edit: FireFox, uBlock Origin
LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y
Librewolf - hardened, demozilled Firefox
Newpipe - I forgot that Youtube has ads
Organic Maps - I dont even have gmaps installed
Keepass XC/2android
Orion viewer - for pdfs
Thumbkey - unique keyboard I have installed for fun, but I got used to it
I also wish I could use foss comunicators more.
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 1y
Firefox, Matrix chat, Proxmox, Homarr, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseer, Nextcloud, Bazzite, Lemmy, QBittorent, Immich, Home Assistant, Keepass, Thunderbird, and Debian.
If it’s free, it is for me.
astro_ray@piefed.social · 5 pts · 1y
Firefox browser, misskey as my SNS. On Android: Komikku (a tachiyomi fork), element X matrix client; on my desktop: rnote for note taking, fractal matrix client.

Matrix (element on mobile, cinny on pc), materialious (linux app for invidious, alternative yt frontend), gzdoom (foss engine for doom & mods), luanti (a minecraft-like engine for playing minigames and shit), zen browser (firefox fork with a pretty skin), xfce as desktop environment, wine for playing windows games
mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y
Never heard of Zen, I'm just using vanilla Firefox on my Linux laptop. Will check it out later :)

One many of us use but I don't see listed so far is the Signal protocol.
shikitohno@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
On android, GrapheneOS, AntennaPod and Tempo are probably my top ones. On my desktop, Firefox, tmux, mpd, ncmpcpp, gonic, neomutt, qbittorrent, weechat, mc, btop, Lagrange and emacs probably round things out for me outside of base OS stuff. OS side, my desktop has Arch Linux and my laptop runs OpenBSD. Bitwarden across platforms.

Apps I use in about the order of use:
collapse_already@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y
I use GVIM everyday.
I frequently use CentOS because that is what the embedded system I work on runs.
I use cygwin regularly professionally and at home. Identifying specific software within it is tough, but I definitely use grep and g++ all of the time.
TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org · 2 pts · 1y
Firefox, GCC, VS Code (sorry, but Microsoft actually made something decent there, and yes, I do feel dirty using it).
LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y
If you dont build VS Code from source, you may consider using VSCodium.
vinnymac@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
If you haven’t tried Zed I recommend giving it a try. I was skeptical about it at first, but it’s so much faster than VS Code, and it has a lot of great quality of life features built in.
