Great choices. I use all of them.
DuckDuckGo as a web browser?
On android at least, yes there is a duck duck go browser.
I am so stoked and appreciative to see so many great projects underway in the EU. Bad for the US right now but good in the long run.
It's good for the US, too.
Americans don't have to live under the bootheels of corporations.
😍 they know the good stuff
Nobody should ever use the internet without uBlock Origin.
But also, I'd like we should be able to use internet without having to use uBlock Origin...
Agreed.
Advertising should be illegal.
Its super scary that there are many people not using it.
Yeah, whenever I hear people complaining about ads, I'm like "You guys are seeing ads?!"
I could understand if you needed to be some 1337 hacker to block ads, but uBlock is one of the easiest extensions I've ever used. You just set it and forget it. There's zero configuration you need to do.
Of course, if there's some ad that slips past, then you need to do some hacking, but that almost never happens nowadays.
It's a cultural problem.
Most people won't install adblockers unless they're around others to tell/show them how.
Friends don’t let friends surf unprotected.
I’m surprised FF got in with that bunch. Most of them are truly uncompromising OSS projects. Like WINE for example.
FF skirts A LOT of corporate influence…
Firefox offers a real alternative to chrome derivatives. I think it’s what we need to go for too.
Yeah I use it on Linux and prefer it over Chrome (even the variants people swear are “de-googled”) but do recognize it’s more of an enemy of my enemy kind of deal. I don’t like a lot of things FF does as it does have a corporate division to answer to. And they want money.
You could use LibreWolf on Linux, it's a Firefox fork that removes all DRM, telemetry and other privacy-disrespecting crap from the og Firefox. All native addons/plugins are fully supported.
I started using Cromite with OpenXNG as my search engine and it's been good. A de-googled chromium essentially with built in privacy/ad blockers.
Surprised to see docker there after the rugpull they did some time ago.
What are you referring to?
They started charging money for Docker Desktop for companies and they have been adding pull limits on Docker Hub.
An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.
Worth noting: Affinity, while not open-source, can be brought to run under Linux. This may be helpful for people wanting to ditch Windows.
Does it run well? Ps under Wine is a laggy and unstable mess
I can't help with personal experience unfortunately. I think some (a lot?) of people are satisfied, but one does need some tech skills to get it up and running.
Instructions are out there in various github repos, some of them also link to volunteer support channels.
Or instructions in German here: https://linux-content.org/so-installierst-du-affinity-photo-designer-und-publisher-unter-linux/
Gimp/inkscape
I wonder how Scribus is doing these days.
Never got into that one
