#AlternativeTo

2025-07-29

The day is closing here in the UK and I have a question for you, #Fediverse citizens.

Would anybody here share their experience with Tor?

This is a follow up on my quest for alternative browsers ( mastodon.design/@alx/114788807 )

Thank you all in advance!

#Scribus is a (*the*) #floss desktop-publishing #dtp software and totally underrated.

What can I say … it really grew on me. It gets the *job* done.
With a fraction of the (monetary, computational and cognitive) resources a (*the*) competitor would need. 🌱

I need your help again. I want to ditch #Spotify because fck all who support genocide, so here we are:
- advice for a new podcast streamer (no Apple)
- advice for a new music streamer (I already use Indie Beat radio when studying/writing)

So, #FediCitizens, do your magic again

People of the #Fediverse do your thing, again! I need tips for a browser beyond the usual. I'm currently using #Firefox (my browser of choice for a very long time), but tabs recently keep crashing all the time - an it's particularly annoying when (for work) I am doing something on a platform that doesn't save things automatically (notoriously my uni stuff).

So, write me your suggestions for a private, stable, and reliable browser!

Looking for a meshnet type app (like Bridgefy) that is not linked to Google. Am currently trialing Session and Briar but after one that is both Apple and Android. Plan is to have my family/friends on them for contact at festivals, big gatherings where 4/5G phone service is down and no wifi. #meshnet #bridgefy #alternativeTo

He intentant fugir de #Google fent servir #Qwant però sembla que #LibreWolf respecta massa la privacitat per ells. Inclús havent resol el seu capcha.
Una pena perquè m'agradava força.

Missatge de Qwant quan et bloca perquè penses que fas scrapping, quan el que realment faig és navegar amb LibreWolf, que no deixa rastres (galetes, html5, etc...)

5 reasons to use CryptPad instead of Google Docs

Apart from security and privacy, as well as being a cloud based solution, CryptPad is pretty feature packed. For me, it is also a great way to share something publicly if I need to.

You may compare its privacy and security to something like Proto ...continues

Sticky rubber, new Tubelord, and EU-alternatives

I've been back at work after taking two weeks off (for a funeral, not a holiday) and that two weeks served as a reminder about why I need to schedule more vacation days. It's a busy time in the office and everything feels urgent. A very different vibe from my two weeks of not-thinking-about-work. Whilst I'm disciplined enough to not have any 'work stuff' on my phone and leave my laptop in the office, having a longer break than a weekend really felt good and like something I should do more […]

#RescueZilla is a beginner-friendly tool to backup, image, clone, restore and resize all sorts of disks from e.g. a bootable usb-thumbdrive. 👍

📈 It is under active development and based on #CloneZilla (among others) and #GPartEd.

👌 Especially useful together with #Ventoy.

(ℹ️ Windows users mind that it does not support bitlocker encrypted #partition‍s).

Screenshot of RescueZilla's start-up window: It features five large buttons in two rows. First row has the buttons for Backup and Restore, second row buttons for Clone, Verify Image and Image Explorer (beta feature).

♻️: Nowa alternatywa open source dla Google Docs i Notion wspierana przez Francję i Niemcy.

Docs to internetowy edytor tekstu oparty na współpracy, który jest wynikiem wspólnego wysiłku prowadzonego przez rządy Francji 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) i Niemiec 🇩🇪🥨 (ZenDiS).

Jest to dobra alternatywa dla popularnych usług, takich jak Notion, Google Docs i Outline.

Platforma oferuje możliwości współpracy w czasie rzeczywistym, elegancki minimalistyczny interfejs i wszystkie niezbędne funkcje, których możesz potrzebować.

Co najlepsze, Docs jest open-source na GitHub i może być hostowany samodzielnie, co czyni go realną opcją dla lokalnych agencji i firm.

Możesz przetestować Docs w swojej przeglądarce, odwiedzając tę stronę:

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:

In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon
