Now the evil leftists even want to take away our freedom to turn right. What’s next? Taking away all our rights because they’re rights and not lefts? /s

This won’t help native/wild bees or the specific ecosystems they are a part of though.

Feeling like a fish out of water sounds much darker now.

Sadly cannot recommend it to any non tech savvy people on Mac because LibreWolf team refuses to have the app signed. This won’t help adoption rates.

Right now I can only, reluctantly, recommend Brave and maybe in the future Zen when it becomes more stable/settled.

The main reason I mentioned him is the Children of Time series, it revolves around non-humanoid “aliens” a lot. Fantastic series, but I love almost any of his SciFi stories.

(F)OSS 2D floor planner (self.opensource)

submitted 9 months ago by brrt to c/[email protected]

14 comments fedilink

I’m just looking for a simple 2D floor planner that is easy to use and has the ability to show measurements.

The two most recommended open source tools I’ve seen have shortcomings.

Sweet Home 3D:

Very 3D centric, which over complicates things.
Project was recently acquired/handed off to a company and the iOS version is published by “AI Photo Editor Lab SRL”

draw.io / diagrams.net:

Very finicky to set up and create floor plans
To display measurements one has to add measurement objects to every wall/object

Does anyone have other recommendations?

A resource to get notified when certain open source projects change in a negative way? (self.opensource)

submitted 11 months ago by brrt to c/[email protected]

I’m looking for a way to keep an eye on open source software I’m using, especially if there are detrimental changes. Like for example when there’s an acquisition (Raivo Authenticator) or the project has not been updated in a long time (potentially posing a security risk).

But I don’t want to have to read about every project, just the ones I’m using.

Anyone got any ideas?

Dedicated Authenticators from Password Manager vendors (self.opensource)

Does anyone know why there are no dedicated Authenticator apps made by for example Proton or Bitwarden?

I’m aware that they have TOTP baked into their password managers but you still need to have at least one separate solution to log into your vault.
