This is a showcase for data privacy of different services used by the world and what data they gain access to. A friend of mine send this to me, but he didn't know where the original came from.

Does anybody have an idea where to find the original? Because reading the tiny letter is a hussle...

Hello everyone,

I'm using Vector Magic (the desktop version) to transform and simplfy designs and graphics and then embroidery them with a sewing machine.

I was wandering - just for curiosity - if is there any alternative of Vector Magic? The Desktop version works only with Windows and not on Linux.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time.

Anyone have any recommendations, I need something with a decent heart monitor, that's really the only thing I care about.

What app you using for Lemmy? I tried Thunder (https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder), looks good but pretty limited. Unable to edit posts, unable to reply, upvote comments, etc.

This site would display the same sort of information as All Trails: descriptions, pictures, waypoints, information about trail dangers, trail maps, time to complete the trail, distance, elevation gain, hiking season, etc.

I apologize if this is not the right community for this post. If there is a more appropriate community, please let me know, and I will repost this there.

Sorry, maybe this question has already been asked (but can't find it), what are some good Lemmy open source clients for Android? All the ones I'm trying are really buggy and glitchy.

While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use.

I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain.

Anyone aware of other alternatives?

Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!

This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

Anytype is a PKMS, basically an advanced note taking app for building a second brain, managing tasks - managing life basically. They've recently "open sourced" but I'm not well versed enough to know the implications of what they've done here with their licensing. The only comment on this discussion shows disappointment and states that these licenses aren't open source some observers on Beehaw's FOSS community have shared the sentiment.

I'd love to have a discussion on this, looking between the lines and taking a critical look at who/what could be the beneficiary of these licenses.

I've not tried it yet but that's a long suspicious list of VC money for something hoping to be built opensource private p2p and decentralized

Currently, I'm a Vivaldi user. My issue with Vivaldi is simple: it isn't fully open source.

So what are my options? The obvious ones are Brave and Firefox.

But.

Brave has all the crypto crap, its sync feature sucks, as it doesn't even save all my settings, the mobile browser version of it sucks even more, because I couldn't find a way to access tabs from my laptop on the mobile client, and Brave mobile only supports the tab bar at the top (I want it at the bottom, phones are big, at least make them easier to use)

Firefox has the sync features, the mobile version supports tabs at the bottom, and sync is easy and works well, and on top of all that, it is either packaged by or preinstalled on most, if not all Linux distros BUT I have 3 issues with Firefox: Data collection is on by default (not that big of a deal, as it's Mozilla, not Google, the data isn't that much and can be turned off with a single toggle), Something very important for me is small tabs, and Firefox' tabs are MASSIVE. I just want small tabs that look like Brave's tabs, same colours, small and simple. And third, I want a better start page. Firefox' start page doesn't support custom backgrounds, and I want one that does. And preferably also has privacy statistics like number of ads and trackers blocked.

Lastly, it has to be based on Chromium or Gecko (Firefox' engine) so I can use all my browser extensions.

Is there a browser out there that meets all my criteria?

I would like to learn a couple of languages (polish and Japanese - I already learned Spanish to a decent degree) but it seems like every solution is closed source.

I would use books but listening (and speaking) are very important and books won't help with those.

What would you guys recommend?

Hi! I'm trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that's useful). Obviously don't wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn't know where! Thanks!

Hello! My smartphone is dying, so I'll soon have to buy a new one. I'd like my new phone to have pure Android, without all the apps that manufactures install. Ideally I'd like to remove the majority of Google services too, but there are some that I can't replace yet, so I'm still dependent on, like google maps. What smartphone do you suggest me? In your opinion, would it be better to buy a smartphone with already stock android or to buy any smartphone, and then replace the OS?
