I was using Wanderlog and they randomly delete things. It's really annoying. I like to create a map for friends that are visiting so they can pick and choose what sounds interesting. If it all gets randomly deleted, what's the use?

How a student fought to do their degree without submitting to proprietary (Microsoft, Google, Oracle etc) software and services that lecturers & admins demanded, and only use free software instead (like Jami, Jitsi Meet, PostgreSQL etc).

I’m writing my PhD and sometimes feel like I’m losing my mind trying to balance home and work tasks, thesis tasks, personal and household habits, and potential connecting these to notes. I really struggle if everything isn’t in one place I can’t keep track of it.

I’ve been using Beaverhabits for habits, Baikal for Caldav connected to iPhone reminders and Thunderbird tasks, and memos and trilium for notes. I also, use a notebook for daily stuff and move it over to digital if it isn’t finished by 5.

Any recommendations? I would really appreciate it. I enjoy thinking about how to do and manage work efficiently but also need a firm system.

A new version of Roundcube Photos has been released. New in 1.5.6 is the feature to share images with Mastodon, including multiple images. The manual generation of tokens has been removed, as the plugin now logs on to a Mastodon or Pixelfed instance as an autonomous app. The Timeline view and various internal improvements and bug fixes are also new. You can find the new version, as usual, on https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Pictures

FileOptimizer is an advanced file optimizer featuring a lossless (no quality loss) file size reduction

Came in handy when I needed to compress a PDF locally, as I was reluctant to upload my PDF to an online tool. Looks like it does a lot more as well, though I haven't explored it much. Default is lossless compression, but lossy compression is an option as well.

well then.

Hi,

I found this awesome app the other day. Stream live internet radio from all over the world with no ads or in-app purchases. It has a search function, lets you create and arrange a favorites list, shows the bitrate of each stream, displays current song and artist, etc. It's crazy all the things you can find, even local stations.

Happy listening~

Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don't make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don't care?

opinion? 🥶

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.

Piss-broke nursing student, here.

The amount of reading I'm having to crank through on a weekly basis is pretty insane - I've been leaning heavily on text-to-speech software to knock the chapters out as fast as possible.

The best I've found so far - which isn't FOSS - is https://speechify.com/text-to-speech-online/ ...enough of it's free and accessible to get the job done, but it's got some pretty instrusive "buy me!" features built in, like if I'm listening to a large document and hit the pause button, I'm basically screwed because when I click play I get a prompt for "To continue listening, sign up for premium!"

Hoping to find better options if there are any, especially for ones that offer decent voice options. Some of them are impressively near-human sounding, while others sound like Microsoft Sam from like 1998; the quality and variety of voices make a big difference in retention for me (replaying a lecture with different voices is proving to be a pretty effective study habit).

More focused on the 'free' part vs the open source bit, but the latter would ofc be a good perk.

Know of any good options?

Thank you!!

I've got revision, homework, programming, university application stuff, and some virtual training for work to juggle at the moment, so I feel I should get something to timetable it, to ensure that I do an even balance.

I run Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X 10.6, and (begrudgingly) iOS; and I also have access to Waydroid, Wine, and Darling.

Can anyone suggest some free and open-source software, preferably a web app or iOS app?

Hi all,

I've been looking casually for a few days now.

However, I have a long, 27 hour flight coming up, and I'd love to use that opportunity to do some planning.

Is anyone aware of an app like say freemind, that works on android?

I have a nice, large tablet, so real estate / interface is not an issue.

Thank you.

I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?
