A new version of Roundcube Photos has been released. New in 1.5.6 is the feature to share images with Mastodon, including multiple images. The manual generation of tokens has been removed, as the plugin now logs on to a Mastodon or Pixelfed instance as an autonomous app. The Timeline view and various internal improvements and bug fixes are also new. You can find the new version, as usual, on https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Pictures

Hi guys! Just wanted to check what's the status with AI generative plugins with Gimp? Is there any good/recommended ones?

Thanks!

FileOptimizer is an advanced file optimizer featuring a lossless (no quality loss) file size reduction

Came in handy when I needed to compress a PDF locally, as I was reluctant to upload my PDF to an online tool. Looks like it does a lot more as well, though I haven't explored it much. Default is lossless compression, but lossy compression is an option as well.

Hi,

I found this awesome app the other day. Stream live internet radio from all over the world with no ads or in-app purchases. It has a search function, lets you create and arrange a favorites list, shows the bitrate of each stream, displays current song and artist, etc. It's crazy all the things you can find, even local stations.

Happy listening~

Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don't make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don't care?

This is a feature that as far as i know lemmy does not have, so it might be worth it to checkout and support piefed, it will probably be useful if there are certain topics that are really relevant to you and you want to develop in depth knowledge of.

Piss-broke nursing student, here.

The amount of reading I'm having to crank through on a weekly basis is pretty insane - I've been leaning heavily on text-to-speech software to knock the chapters out as fast as possible.

The best I've found so far - which isn't FOSS - is https://speechify.com/text-to-speech-online/ ...enough of it's free and accessible to get the job done, but it's got some pretty instrusive "buy me!" features built in, like if I'm listening to a large document and hit the pause button, I'm basically screwed because when I click play I get a prompt for "To continue listening, sign up for premium!"

Hoping to find better options if there are any, especially for ones that offer decent voice options. Some of them are impressively near-human sounding, while others sound like Microsoft Sam from like 1998; the quality and variety of voices make a big difference in retention for me (replaying a lecture with different voices is proving to be a pretty effective study habit).

More focused on the 'free' part vs the open source bit, but the latter would ofc be a good perk.

Know of any good options?

Thank you!!

I've got revision, homework, programming, university application stuff, and some virtual training for work to juggle at the moment, so I feel I should get something to timetable it, to ensure that I do an even balance.

I run Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X 10.6, and (begrudgingly) iOS; and I also have access to Waydroid, Wine, and Darling.

Can anyone suggest some free and open-source software, preferably a web app or iOS app?

Hi all,

I've been looking casually for a few days now.

However, I have a long, 27 hour flight coming up, and I'd love to use that opportunity to do some planning.

Is anyone aware of an app like say freemind, that works on android?

I have a nice, large tablet, so real estate / interface is not an issue.

Thank you.

I've always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let's change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

Hi guys! I'd like to know what teamviewer alternatives are out there these days. At this point it's my most insecure software, and I'd rather leave it, but I need something super simple to troubleshoot my mom's computer and things like that.

Thanks!

I know this has been discussed a lot but so far there is no TRUE cross platform ones that work and syncs for free.

The closest is Joplin but that’s laggy and bloated.

Anyone knows of an app that

  • Syncs
  • Works on iOS Windows and Linux
  • Free or affordable

Some apps I tried

  • Bear app - my main so far but my macbook is aging so I am planning on getting a linux notebook and I have a windows desktop at home. I managed to stay with this the longest but only because I have an iphone, ipad and mac. But now, I want to try windows or linux as well.

  • Notion- laggy. Bonus: free with education account, (I have one and it works but I don’t like its interface and database nature. It’s not as simple to just type and go.

  • OneNote- laggy. At least for me. And definitely not open sourced.

  • Standard Notes- good features but very expensive for what it offers. Especially if you want to use sync.

  • Obsidian- not technically Open source but very popular. The sync is expensive though and does not even give you storage. It utilizes the space already on your device. Feels like a rip off.

  • Evernote- I like its price proposition better than Obsidian but its bloated. And I don’t like its ethics.

Anyone else has ideas? :)
