  • What is the best FOSS alarm clock app?

    Jump

  • Finding anything FOSS with Spotify integration will be basically impossible. Clock You is a great clock/alarm app in general, of course no Spotify integration though. But you can choose custom music you have downloaded on your device.

  • How to install Minecraft on Linux Mint?

    Jump

  • I highly recommend the Prism Launcher. You can find it in the standard Linux Mint Software Manager.

  • Best Email Client

    Jump

  • Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.

  • YouTube on TVs is cramming ads down your throat even when pausing videos

  • It doesn't work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.

  • Well yeah, I agree. FOSS apps do lack features like logging in (to a Google account), the recommendation algorithm, etc. On the other hand, ReVanced is not exactly easy to install for new users. Both approaches are valid and get the job done (blocking annoying ads). I appreciate the calm and pleasant conversation.

  • I know that it exists, I don't think it's a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.

    Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?

  • I just don't want any proprietary software on my devices (for many reasons, most importantly privacy and user freedom). I can use a VPN to privately connect to the YouTube backend, but things get much harder when the proprietary spyware is actually on my device.

  • If you want to use YouTube for that, it seems like ReVanced is your only option. But you can also create an account on a Piped instance, and have your playlists synced. LibreTube is the only app that supports this.

  • I'd say they are objectively better, because are independent, free & open source apps, instead of relying on patching Google's proprietary software.

  • Seems like using a VPN is basically inevitable now

  • DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, or just use a VPN

  • May I ask which tablet you use and why? Do you use an external keyboard? I find your setup really interesting, and would love to know the reasons behind it

  • Sounds like you need to try a tiling window manager. I find floating windows annoying as fuck, and they make you like super slow and unproductive by allowing windows to overlap or go off the screen. A tiler solves all of these problems, there are many fantastic options on GlazeWM, komorebi, FancyWM or the built-in tiling functionality of Seelen-UI on Windows.
