Chrome & Firefox are a false duopoly. Do we need another option? Should there be a public option? Should it come from Italy?
Mozilla is ~83% funded by Google. That’s right- the maker of the dominant Chrome browser is mostly behind its own noteworthy “competitor”. When Google holds that much influence over Mozilla, I call it a false duopoly because consumers are duped into thinking the two are strongly competing with each other. In Mozilla’s...

Where To Find Actually Good Search Engines?
I’m kind of tired of Google sending me to the same 3 sites whenever I search for something. If not the same 3 sites it’s 7 others that are so generic and boring I just feel they’re useless. It’s always makeuseof, androidauthority, or whatever other sites that have useful information but I rarely feel like they are saying...
Discord Alternatives?

Easy sharing from self-hosted services?
As I’m learning more and more about self hosting, I’ve read repeatedly that the safest option for internally hosted services is to use a VPN from your mobile device (laptop, cell) and connect to your server(s) as needed when outside of your network. That brings me to a predicament of sorts....
What RSS Feed Reader should I use?
What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?
For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code....

What are you're favorite FOSS games to play and why?
I love Endless Sky, it’s honestly one of my favorite games! I have a pack of cool SciFi art that I found on Nexus and I’ve been slowly replacing the stock photos for my personal game. I’m also a sucker for TeeWorlds, it is delightfully infuriating and hillarious to play. I know that’s baby’s first FOSS games but I’m...
