[RAMBLE] offers privacy-respecting user forums similar to Reddit
You may have seen many Reddit alternatives popping up on the Fediverse over the last few years, and some of them are pretty busy. I’ve done posts over the years on BeeHaw and similar sites there.
And although they are decentralised servers, they ...continues

PrivateBin and MicroBin compared as alternatives to Pastebin for text and file sharing
Pastebin is a long text and code snippet sharing site. The site has some limitations for free accounts, and does not allow file uploads.
Pastebin recently flagged one of my pastes as spam, so I needed to look for an alternative. The best two open ...continues

7 reasons Photopea is the best free alternative to Photoshop and Lightroom, and 1 why not
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom have long been the benchmarks in the industry. However, their ongoing subscription costs can be a burden for students and hobbyists. If you're seeking an alternative to Adobe’s creative suite, consider trying Photopea. Unlike other free alternatives, Photopea isn’t just a watered-down solution with limited features. It’s a robust powerhouse that goes toe-to-toe with Photoshop and Lightroom, offering a surprising amount of advanced features without costing a dime.
So, whilst some very good reasons are given to use it, and many will want to because of the intuitive UI and cross-platform support, they are very clear that the product is free because it is paid for by adverts in the app. Adverts can be annoying, but they may also be intrusive in terms of privacy. That said, they do not look like they take over the interface.
While Photopea won’t rival the likes of Canva, its graphic design tools can surely challenge the likes of Krita and Illustrator. You can create vector graphics using pen, shape, and text tools, explore path manipulations, and use web design tools to create mockups. You surely won’t have a hard time sketching concepts, designing logos, and creating illustrations.

Table Comparison of 14 different Free and Open-Source Photo Libraries
A table with various photo library app names along the top row, and the second row showing the app logos for each. The left most column lists various features, and the centre area shows per app which has what faetures. The link in this post will take you to an HTML version of the table. Many are looking for alternatives to Google Photos, and this comparison table does an excellent job of comparing the most obvious features side by side.

Many are looking for alternatives to Google Photos, and this comparison table does an excellent job of comparing the most obvious features side by side. Make sure to expand the table for a complete view.
I'm still using Piwigo as it did an automated import of all my photos from Flickr, and although it is packed with features, many of its plugins are no longer supported. It works well still for me, but I've been thinking about alternatives.
Immich was one that looked really slick, and the closest I've seen to Google Photos, but one big weakness is there is no easy ability to import my existing Piwigo photos (over 10,000 of them). And it does not yet have any editing functionality.
But looking at this table shows me that in fact that Nextcloud Memories seems to tick all the boxes, including some edit functionality, and the ability to point to existing photo folders. Memories is based on Nexcloud's own Photos app but has some slight improvements. Its appearance is maybe just not as slick as Immich, but it seems very responsive otherwise.
All, but one, apps have demo sites that you can log into and have a good look at.

LibreOffice probably still remains the most complete set of features and a pure open source option, but I can see why the free SoftMaker FreeOffice is also given a lot of credit: It opens very quickly, has a pretty slick more modern user interface, it has excellent MS Office compatibility, and it already has usable mobile apps for both Android and iOS (apart from Windows, macOS and Linux too).
So yes, on all of these fronts, LibreOffice does lag a bit. But LibreOffice is open source and all advanced features are completely free. FreeOffice also does not open or edit existing PDFs.

Like it or not, social media is essential in today’s society. While it can have its cons, the pros certainly outweigh them. Along with staying connected with family and friends, social media is a great way to meet new people and stay up-to-date on topics of interest. Further, if you have a business or service to offer, it’s one of the most effective marketing methods.
Unfortunately, there are so many social sites and apps available now that it’s impossible to keep up with them all; you’ll need to pick the ones that are best for your needs and go from there. To help you with that, we’ve created an intriguing list of social apps to try on your favorite Android device.
Yes it is probably better to do your family stuff away from a social network, as you'll discover if and when you want to change social networks, your family stays stuck where they are. With that in mind, trying out a few alternatives can be a lot of fun and very interesting (just remember to block the trolls as you get them everywhere).
Also, it is worth trying out alternative apps for a social network, for example for Reddit try Boost for Android, or Apollo for iOS. Not only is the presentation often better, but they listen to users and include extra functionality, and of course often also have less tracking by the social network itself.
