Only until enshittification kicks in

Thats the point. People should realize that just because someone is doing some software as a hobby doesn't mean he doesn't need to earn money. YOU PEOPLE, IF YOU USE GREAT SOFTWARE PAY FOR IT PLEASE. Don't let great FOSS software die out, and donate. Just give those 20$, its not much for you (some shitty chineese gadgets), and its so much for devs if everyone do that. Wherever you want to buy some chineese gadget, donate it to actually great software instead of chineese scammer please.

You've never worked on software in a big company have you?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

There are definitely a lot of brilliant engineers working at companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple, they just get hamstrung by management.

I can only speak for myself, but I used to love to get home from work and contribute to free software projects I found interesting. Since I got a good paying tech job at a big company, the last thing I want to do is more of the same when I get home. (having kids around the same time probably had an influence too).

Organic Maps is the upgrade over Google Maps.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You're not wrong. I use it a lot. it's super for short local trips and maybe medium trips.

When I asked it to go a few states over, routing cost me a couple of hours last time before I realized something was off.

Use it, but scrutinize it.

The same should be said for any GPS app.

Card end up down pedestrian paths because the driver didn’t think about what the GPS was telling them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

I use it on my daily basis. Never disappointed me in about 2 years now. So yeah, great app. (Sometimes I use waze too to avoid you know :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

The only reason I use Google Maps is I use an old ass phone with limited storage space, and it won't let me remove Google Maps.

But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

There are a few examples where the foss version of the app became the best one. I am having trouble remembering others. But I think BitWarden is just as good as any paid password manager.

Depending on what you're trying to create blender is very easily beat by other programs. Almost every time a friend watches me use blender I'll get hit with "this would be so much easier in fusion 360"

And if it's so good, why haven't they released an Open Source 2?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

If you like open source THAT much, why don't you marry it??

Because it's so good that a v2 is not needed.

Sometimes slightly worse. Like LibreOffice.

Sometimes actually better, like VLC.

Sometimes about the same, like the latest version of MuseScore (older versions were, in fact, quite a bit worse).

But sometimes, like with older versions of GIMP (I'll admit, I've not tried its latest major version release candidate) it's significantly worse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Krita isn't that much worse than Photoshop/CSP for digital illustration. That said, going back to CSP after a year was such a relief I didn't know I needed. So many little stumbling blocks removed.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago

Libreoffice is slightly worse because all the proprietary office suites keep lowering the bar for everyone to follow them. It's not a quality issue, it's a never ending contest to figure out how to complicate writing a simple letter so that everyone has to buy only your software.

Slightly worse? I can actually sort and the video player actually works, instead of whatever the FUCK was going on with the other place, for literally ever.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Slightly worse". I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the "just works" aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, "oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you" wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.

Lol, since the last major update I can't type a tilde or a backtick, presumably because it doesn't recognize my keyboard type?? And I had to install another program that prevent Apple Music from opening each time I connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones?? Or to add week numbers to the calendar widget. Even Gnome isn't that bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

I had that from the start... It cannot distinguish some keyboards, and I have two versions of my layout I have to switch between. All keybords work the same on linux, but mac, nah.

And updates? Holy shit! They broke ssh! It was broken like a month. Ssh connections just died as 'corrupted' all the time. And they don't hotfix it asap? How can a company trust to use them as a work laptop if they break it and don't fix it?

If we're talking Lemmy and Lemmy clients, I'd argue it's a helluva lot better. For one, I can rotate my fucking screen

Hell, the thing that got my to switch was when they got rid of third party apps, because of how absolutely abysmally shitty the official app is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

That sounds like exploitation of free labor with extra steps and a vegan coat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

They made the RTX version, so now I can see it in 4k, thank you developers!

[–] Lucidlethargy 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's not, though. It's a big reason why I'm here, in fact. Boost for Android is awesome!
