Free and Open Source Software

So there are so many Youtube front-ends for Android like ViMusic/RiMusic, spmp, SimpMusic and a big etc.. They basically extract the music and add a lot of functionality to the app like translating lyrics, downloading/caching songs, local playlists without Google account, radio mode and that kind of thing.

I know of three programs of this type for Linux (or desktop OS in general) and they're Moosync, Nuclear Music Player and Youtube-music.

I love Moosync but I miss the radio mode feature that I use a lot in Android apps, then Nuclear I haven't used for years since I know Moosync and Youtube-music doesn't appeal to me at all because it's just a Youtube music web application with plugins... and it doesn't even have local playlists...

So, does anyone know of any other programs of this kind that actually support radio mode and local playlists?

A lot of the issues reported here, started showing up on my device after each OS update, but VLC didn't push any updates for over a year now... VLC is king, but what went wrong?

Edit: I think I saw a post on Mastodon saying it something to do with Google Play Store policies change, but what about the Fdroid version.. ?

Official Blog: Ondsel ES 2024.2 released: more assembly tools and UX/UI polish | Ondsel

New features and improvements

• Improved support for tablets on Windows
• Backports of other GTK3 features

What’s next

Clearly one of the smallest releases ever in the 2.10 series, and it might be our last. We’ll see, though we also know some people get stuck longer than others on older series (especially when using LTS distributions of Free Software operating systems), so we might do (if we feel like it’s needed) a 2.10.40 release with bug fixes only just before or just after GIMP 3.0.0 release, as a wrap up.

In any case, we are now stopping backporting features in the 2.10 series. These graphics tablet support improvements for Windows are huge enough that they had to get in; yet from now on, we want to focus solely on releasing GIMP 3.0.0.

Now you might wonder when that is? Very soon! We are on the last sprint towards the release candidate. This includes a lot of bug fixes, but also still some API changes going on. We will keep you updated!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger! 💪🥳

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

This is a feature that as far as i know lemmy does not have, so it might be worth it to checkout and support piefed, it will probably be useful if there are certain topics that are really relevant to you and you want to develop in depth knowledge of.

I really would like to delete my account there and move on. Is there anything, solid enough, with a good rating system, some lists that I can make for myself or at least a simple “to watch”?

Would be cool to have a “where to watch / stream / buy” section and some basic info like people behind the movies and so on.

Major pros: good website and cross-platform mobile app.

I just installed letterboxd to check how it feels but before migrating anywhere I am more interested what I will read here.

My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time.

Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute?

One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference

EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!

It uses 7z to extract files from archives. By also utilizing GNU Parallel, multiple files can be processed at the same time.

The purpose is to streamline option handling and usability of both programs into a unified command line interface, by only incorporating functionality which I need. 7z's option and argument handling is a bit confusing and does things in unique and unfamiliar ways. On the other side, we have Parallel, which is extremely complex and has ton of functionality; also confusing. So I picked up my favorite options and bundled them into a manageable script.

Name of the script is inspired by unwrap() functionality from Rust programming language. It unpacks certain type of variables to make use what is inside of it.

7z (probably in package p7zip) and parallel are required and need to be present.

git clone https://github.com/thingsiplay/unwrap
cd unwrap
chmod +x unwrap

usage:

unwrap *.zip

unwrap -f -i '*.txt' -o . *.zip

Any YouTube client that doesn't track me that works on Linux or in Firefox?

Hi everyone! Due to so many projects I'm involved into, I need an easy way to organize and visualize tasks, dependencies, and durations in order to properly plan my week.

I'm looking for an organizer app that fulfills the following requirements:

• must have a calendar management systems
• it must support multiple caldav calendars at the same time
• must have a to-do list
• each time the user creates a to-do element, they should have the option to reserve a specific time on the calendar
• when they decide to reserve a specific time on the calendar, the calendar might be chosen among the multiple support ones
• to-do tasks might be visualized as a mindmap
• for every leaf / "outer children" of the mindmap, must correspond a to-do element with the specific calendar

Does anybody knows something that does all of this?

Thank you

enjoy is a blazingly fast wrapper around "RetroArch" on Linux, to help running emulator cores on the commandline. A user configuration file can be setup, including rules and core aliases pointing to file extensions and emulator paths.

Usage Example:

enjoy '~/Emulation/Roms/snes/Super Mario World (U) [!].smc'

Update notes:

As the title suggest, this is not a big update and does not introduce any new features. The opposite is true, as those custom install and uninstall scripts are removed and the Readme file is no longer converted to HTML. This reduces a little bit of complexity and dependency.

Speaking of dependency, the internal libraries it depends on are all updated. The most notable one is the argument parser called clap, which is now at version 4.5 and no longer outputs the help in colors. Otherwise a few lines are refactored or reformatted and the README.md is worded differently; at some places. Overall this is a small update to bring the underlying code to the current state of the art. And to find an excuse to compile it with the most recent Rust compiler. If you liked the previous version of this program, then you will most likely like it again.

• changed: the options parser and help text from -h or --help has no longer colored output and is reorganized
• changed: if an empty "" entry is included, then entire program assumes nothing is given, in example following does not work: enjoy mario.smc "",
• changed: logo slightly updated and corrected
• changed: pandoc no longer used to convert README.md to HTML with Makefile
• renamed: CHANGELOG.md to CHANGES.md
• removed: install.sh and uninstall.sh scripts removed
• internal: some code refactor, formatting and dependency upgrades

Defending Mastodon from Donald Trump's social media

I'm looking to be able to store assets that I've created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I'm doing a commission I can filter out the "personal use only" assets available. As the primary use is for visual arts assets, large preview images would be perfect. Teeny tiny icons not nearly as useful when browsing through image elements to find something you like.

I'm really looking for a self hosted option, ideally one with a docker container available but I could also spin up a virtual machine to host it if required.

Does anyone know of something that would fit the bill?

This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

Proton said the Standard Notes app, which is available for both mobile and desktop, will remain “open source, freely available and fully supported”.

It also suggested that there will be no change to Standard Notes’ prices; its press release specifies that existing five-year subscriptions “will continue to be honored.”

“Standard Notes will remain an independent product and in due course both companies will open access to their products to each others’ users,” Proton added.
