Yes, Vivaldi isn’t fullFOSS, because 5% of the script of the unique UI is proprietary of Vivaldi, but it’s 100% auditable and even moddeable by the user, they even show how to do it in its community. Edge and Chrome would fork it in the same moment when Vivaldi make it OpenSource, killing all other Chromium and Vivaldi itself. Maybe in the future it will go full OpenSource, there are still intern debates about it. The sense of OpenSource is to be capable to collaborate in new products, but with almost 100 browsers and forks in the market, this value is pretty debatable. For the user is more important the ethics of the company respect the user, in this case a european, employee-owned cooperative, which is given with a full transparency in all it’s services included in the account (mail, calendar, feed, blog, the Vivaldi Mastodon instance, e2ee sync in own server, etc.).

Vivaldi, good maintaned, no calls to Google, inbuild and customizable ad and trackerblocker. If Chromium, than this one.

There are also some more I use

Yes, in Linux you need 3-4 different apps to do the same as you can do with ShareX

Yes, but anyway, everybody wish ShareX in Linux, but nobody dares to fork ShareX for Linux. Until now there sadly isn’t any equivalent tool for Linux

Flameshot is a really nice screenshot tool, but the big drawback is, that it only upload to Imgur, one of the worst Data hogs. The best and most complete is ShareX, there you can set the destinations to your like, but it has also a big drawback, it’s Windows only (depends on NETframework, same as Greenshot)

➡️

You can use Flameshot, but recomment to store the screenshots only locally and upload to share/host later to, eg vgy.me, or some self hosted one, like FileCoffee (valid for all type of files, image, video, multimedia, documents, presentations, etc.)

Amazing world news and studies, surely their neurons have herniated to reach this conclusion after 50 Years, WOW.

At least for my city OSM is pretty complete with all business in it, A alternative is Here Maps, which also show all traffic and public transport lines, apart of the business sites. The only thing that no other map has is the Google Street View (Here at least has a 3D view), but I can live without this.

As I said before, ReviOS isn’t a OS as such. In Windows I used the Hellzerg Optimizer to gut privacy invading parts, services and nags. Well ReviOS is something similar, but in extremis, leaving Windows with just enough to function as an OS, without unnecessary functions, services and telemetries, with the half of its default size. But independent if you use the ReviOS setup or ISO, you need Windows first, precisely because RevisionOS isn’t a OS as such.

You know all entity from all the FOSS you use?

Well, ReviOS isn’t a own OS as such which substitute the existing Windows, like eg. ReactOS, it’s an FOSS tool which convert an existing Windows to something acceptable. It’s because of this not so different as posting any other FOSS for Windows, like the hellzerg Optimizer on steroids. See here the changes made by ReviOS https://www.revi.cc/docs/faq/before/features/

What a shame, no one thinks about poor Mark? ¬¬

Yeah, one day in the future chips with net access are implanted in the newborns brain and wellcome to the the universal consciousness

The human brain has two halves, one left and one right. The problem with US presidents is that in the left one remains nothing right and in the right one are nothing left.

Maybe the old Winamp goes OpenSource, like the old MS DOS. But certainly not the current or last version. Anyway there are several way better FOSS alternatives to Winamp. It’s not a big problem for MS or any other company to release the source of an outdated version which anymore create incommings. In GitHub they still can control Winamp.
