looking for a #foss program that allows me to draw in a pdf without annoying "splitting it into pages -> exporting it as an image -> doing the drawing -> converting back to pdf -> unite all the page-pdfs" workflow.

I just want to use my drawing tablet to fill in some forms that were made for printing the pages.

any recommendations?

EDIT: xournalpp works for me!

hmm I wonder if there is a good Android app that just turns wifi on on my phone whenever gps senses me to be vaguely at home/work/othrr preset places

What would be a good FOSS self-hostable for a buy nothing group? Apparently Facebook is deleting them, and I wanna convince the ppl on a different corporate software to have our next backup be on a website controlled by the admins of the group (in some way, whether technical or telling a host/sysadmin what to do)
But what sort of software should I suggest? Or what existing websites/apps could be used that seem to be pro-labor/anti-censor?

Replaced Feedly with #Miniflux for news aggregation.

One more awful thing off the list.

@rubenmvc @dansup
Loops and PixelFed creator dan is problematic for a variety of reason including the fact that he continues to not share current code for Loops, is very immature/rude, and he 'joked' about adding ads.

This post goes into credible detail about the code stuff:

You have the right to make an informed decision on whether to support this. I certainly wouldn't support or use Loops ar Pixelfed though.

If any FOSS socials deserve/need funding, it's Vidzy, a very new, truly FOSS, TikTok alternative that needs more developers and support. You also could always support Mastodon servers.

http://zipline.diced.sh is so much better for file sharing than Nextcloud it's not even funny.

Picked up https://www.usememos.com/ as a replacement for Google Keep and iCloud Notes. It's super simple to set up with Docker, has a web app, supports tags, markdown, checklists, attachments, and editing, and resembles the Google Keep from some years back.
The way it's set up, I wouldn't expose it to the internet - doesn't look like security has been considered at all.
I'm just using Tailscale for access.
It's neat and I like it.

Also planning to ditch Nextcloud for public file link sharing and move to Zipline instead later today.

Hey fedi,
I look for a self hosted music streaming server

• allowing downloads
• allowing uploads by users
• shared playlists and private playlists
• usable when offline

Just found @lib_reviews

I think that it's a great idea. I'm interested on an invitation code.

I don't want to put any effort in making reviews on google maps, tripadvisor, yelp, or anything privative that proffits on the user data and information. I hope it grows and maybe someone will try to integrate it with OpenStreetMaps.

Time to unsubscribe all my email newsletters and restart using #rss! Gonna use #KillTheNewsletter
https://kill-the-newsletter.com/

I am not sure when I stopped using #Feedly (probably when I upgraded phones), but it's time to restart using an FOSS alternative. I am testing out Feeder on Android. But I'll be trying out Fluent Reader too as it is cross platform.

What's your favourite #rssreader?

I loved #slack but.it ate our #memories. What's the #fossalternative to Slack?

@wolf @opensourcedesign Ja, das ist schon super böse, immerhin gibt es mit @penpot eine sexy #fossalternative. Ich hätte auch mal mega Bock auf so #ui / #ux #design, bisher aber noch keine Gelegenheit gehabt ...

They plan to rename it "open-source-alternatives"
