Dnscrypt-proxy has no comparison, IMO. DNS encryption, caching, IP & domain blocking, local DoH. It’s so useful.

People call Tiktok brainrot, but I feel like Windows has had the same effect on people.

They have open source versions that run on Linux. I’d say they’re better than VSCode.

I use PDF Arranger for that.

Wow!

It used to be common.

I though Mastodon had a search engine.

There is no safety without the guarantee of privacy. One is fundamental to the other.

I use it for translations regularly, and also tts. It works well.

The way she talked about it made it seem like it was a common, acceptable thing.

I haven’t used Lightroom, so I can’t comment on how similar they are either. But there are enough good options that hopefully anyone switching can find one that meets their needs. :)

I’ve only used Nemo in Linux, but I can’t think of anything Windows file explorer can do that it can’t.

ART, a fork of RawTherapee, is also very good.

Some fast food place, I don’t remember which, used to serve orange juice mixed with hot & bitter spices. That was really good.
