Ladybird is an ongoing project to build an independent web browser from scratch.

It is being developed as part of the SerenityOS/serenity project on GitHub.

There are no downloadable binaries yet, as the project is still very unstable. You can follow the build instructions to build it for yourself.

This page is not fancy because we are focusing on building the browser. :^)

Since Ladybird is part of the SerenityOS project, development is coordinated on the SerenityOS discord server.

Hi all 👋

I'm looking for some help locating large packs/collections of crossword puzzles for use with the Shortyz/Forkyz Android app (.puz, .json etc) pretty please (sob story below if you're interested). I promise I'm not trying to be lazy (though it's possible, as my mum would say, that I'm having a boy's look), but I've looked around on archive.org, all my usual pirate sources, Forkyz list of sources, and ofc Google, and come up I feel surprisingly empty. I've found a couple of packs of the NYT crosswords, which will work, but I'm hoping I can find some to ease her in to because she's used to doing the ones in our local news rag which don't quite match up to the NYT.

Anyway, thank you in advance to everyone 💙

<sob-story> Dad's in palliative care and my step-mum is getting a bit bored with her Sudoku puzzles, which of course I've had no trouble providing lol. </sob-story>

Arctic Warfare is now available to play. Battle tanks in the arctic, demolish trees and annihilate snowmen. View the source code here.

Found it more stable and the UI looks a little better, imo.

Few days ago I got a AI Search engine which searches web, find best results then summarise pages and gived result in interactive chat. It was Open Source and had minimal interface.

Please help to get it back as I lost it from memory of phone and brain. (I got it on lemmy but on another ID).

Hi all, looking for good open (self hosted) money management apps. Similar to mint, I want a single pane to view my accounts at a high level.

There's some things online that still do it, but they make me really nervous just handing one company the keys to all of my accounts with how many breaches there are. That being said, they're convenient because I never know what accounts have what balances all at once.

Any ideas for systems that do this? Either running locally or ideally something that I could host locally?

Stract is an open source search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. It's a search engine made for hackers and tinkerers just like ourselves. No more searches where some of the terms in the query arent used, and the engine tries to guess what you really meant. You get what you search for.

A smoother stream, bug fixes and extra features are here for chiaki4deck, the open source Playstation Remote Play client for Steam Deck in the latest release. No need to stop your gaming just because someone wants the TV, if you have both a Steam Deck and PlayStation 4 or 5 then this project is for you. Allowing you to sync up your gaming and play your PS titles on Valve's handheld.

I was looking for a non-chromium alternative browser to Firefox and found mercury. According to this site it is one of the fastest Firefox forks and also has optimizations from other well known forks like librewolf.

I created an issue to see if they would be able to implement federation.

In the post-COVID world where so much is done remotely I'm utterly amazed with the absence of a decent app for making slides. I recently went through a long and honestly very disappointing journey for finding the one and only app that fits my needs. And... yeah... there is none. Here are the requirements I have, and I can elaborate more on why exactly I need each of these. So, my perfect presentation making must:

• have interactive UI, where you can drag elements around with your mouse/trackpad;
• support dragging and dropping images AND videos and repositioning them;
• support latex (or at least something similar);
• work on all major OS-s: windows/macos/linux.

That's it. That's all I need. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm even willing to pay money to have the app (not as a subscription though)!

I admit that my needs might not be the most common ones, but I also don't think they're totally unreasonable.

Here are the apps/frameworks I tried, and where they succeeded and failed (all graded on the scale of 5), starting from the most popular ones.

---

(a) Microsoft PowerPoint (4.0/5):

+ (4/5) has nice interactive UI and allows for good configurability;

+ (5/5) supports all the major video encodings as well as images and GIFs;

? (4/5) does not support latex, but kinda has its own equation engine which is good-enough;

− (3/5) has no linux counterpart;

− comes bundled with the Office Suite, the majority of apps from which I've never used.

---

(b) Keynote (3.9/5):

+ (4.5/5) has by far the best UI and the collection of tools (perhaps the only thing it lacks is the ability to crop videos);

+ (5/5) same as PowerPoint, supports most of the formats that I typically use;

+ (5/5) has full support for latex equations;

− (1/5) no windows and no linux implementation;

− Mac-only, and the cloud version doesn't support most of the functionality -- so really, fuck you Apple.

---

(c) Google Slides (2.5/5):

+ (3/5) has a decent UI, but oftentimes feels very clumsy with the overly padded bounding boxes;

? (2/5) supports images and gifs, but fails miserably with videos, which it's only able to embed over youtube (or google drive);

− (0/5) no latex support, although I'm aware that some paid plugins allow for it;

+ (4/5) it's web-based, so works essentially on any platform;

− obviously, because it's web-based, you can't do anything offline.

---

(d) LaTeX Beamer (3.3/5):

− (0/5) no UI at all, and getting things line just right is quite a headache;

? (3/5) getting videos is kind of a nightmare really, as it compiles into a pdf, and not all pdf engines support videos;

+ (5/5) no comment;

+ (5/5) no comment, although you have to install an 8 GB-worth latex suite on your system, or do it on a website like overleaf.

---

(e) LibreOffice Impress (3.3/5):

+ (3/5) the UI is very reminescent of the Google Slides, so is kinda clumsy, although you can get used to it I guess;

+ (4/5) kinda of supports all the major image/video formats, but I've had trouble with some of the encodings;

− (1/5) no latex (although third-party plugins can enable it, but they never really worked well for me);

+ (5/5) supported no all major OS-s.

---

(f) Marp/Slippr/Cafe-Pitch/Reveal.js (3.5/5):

− (0/5) no UI;

+ (5/5) because they all use js-based engine (like electron), you can make any format work with them;

+ (4/5) same here, although some don't have latex out of the box, it's relatively straightforward to enable a MathJax or Katex support;

+ (5/5) takes some npm magin, but you can run it on frigging toaster.

---

(g) Slides.com (3.5/5):

+ (4/5) it basically uses the proprietary version of the reveal.js as a backend, and adds UI (a bit clumsy to my taste, but works ok);

− (2/5) same as above, but adding videos is paywalled;

+ (5/5) there is a full latex support out of the box;

+ (3/5) web-based, but you'll need an account, and lots of perks are paywalled.

---

(h) Figma (3.3/5):

+ (5/5) surprisingly good UI (it was made for vector design, so not surprising);

− (2/5) videos paywalled;

+ (3/5) some plugins add latex support, but still quite clumsy;

+ (3/5) has an app and offers a cloud-based web app, but you need to have an account etc.

I also tried other things, like Wolfram Mathematica (yes it can do presentations, although equations look kinda weird), Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape (i mean, why not at this point?), Prezi.com (more fancy, less functional). There are tons of web-based solution (e.g., visme), most of which have a subscription program, which I am not willing to try (I'm ready to pay once, but subscription programs go against my mental stability).

It seems that any solution I try falls short of what I would consider a pretty reasonable list of requirements. At this point I'm mostly using MS PowerPoint, but its lack of linux support really drives me mad. I'm interested to hear your thoughts and your experiences with presentation-making software? What are some of things I should try?

FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. You don't need to register. Just turn up and join in!

googerteller: an audible feedback on just how much your browsing feeds into google

A cool software for degooglers that makes a little noise every time your computer sends a packet to a tracker or Google service.

EDIT: There is also a Firefox add-on for web browsing.

Disclaimer : I am absolute noob in terms of SSH kind of stuffs.

I maded a SSH key on ConnectBot app on android.I still have password of that key.I got a private and public key.I shared public key with tildes for making accounts.Now they know me by my that key but I want to login by termux. On termux I installed openssh and tried to login it says that authentication failed.

So I just need to backup keys from connected bot and restore on termux and my PC . Will it work ? How to do it? Will making a new pair of keys using same pass and name will work?

I did not got anything regarding this on searches

I'm using espeak (from F-Droid) for text to speech, and it's working great. I'd like an app that does speech to text though, ideally supporting Swedish as well as English for Duolingo purposes, but even just English would be more than I have now.

This thread is ONLY to talk about Weather/Meteo apps, Store apps (Like F-droid or AuroraStore) and FOSS apps about social media and related stuff, like youtube or Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc..) apps.

For example, Newpipe is related to YouTube and a good FOSS app to watch videos.

Little context

spoiler

Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?

We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.

I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I’m going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.

Your opinions about it are CRUCIAL and FUNDAMENTAL, because your opinions is the main-base to build the megathread.

I would like to buy some Linux merch, but I don't want to just buy it from some generic supplier -- I would like for all of the proceeds to be used to support open source, or tech related foundations (Linux Foundation, FSF, KDE, GNOME, etc.). I woud also appreciate it if the merch supplier didn't just blindly donate, but sent proceeds intelligently -- where they are needed most, and where they will be put to the greatest amount of work.
