Firefox. Wouldn’t want to use the internet without it. Probably wouldn’t be using this webpage without it.
firefox is so underrated, it’s literally the only browser that isn’t google that is actually viable (sorry otter)
linux :3
Bitwarden - A password manager
Lemmy, mpv, Firefox, Manjaro (GNU/Linux), NewPipe, OBS, Rufus, Alacritty, RPCS3, Lutris…
Aged like milk :)
Love obs, firefox, and manjaro!
VLC Media Player - Fast, reliable program that works across all operating systems. Many media players can’t play certain types of files, but VLC always works. For years its always worked. They could have stopped maintaining it, or sold out and put ads in it, or changed vision and created something different out of it.
VLC media player has gifted me with more than 1 week of lifetime already. Before discovering VLC, I had to download divx drivers for each movie file. That involved mindlessly surfing. VLC just works and has everything. It’s so amazing
Nobody cited Miniflux, a very good self-hosted RSS aggregator with web UI.
Awesome!
Thanks for the recommendation I just tried it out and it’s pretty nice. It’s much faster than the one I was using but could use some polish with things like navigating back when in the unread view.
For me, blender
Same for me. It’s given me some jobs (not a steady one yet ) and it’s amazing how light, and feature filled it is at the same time. I just had to install After Effects recently (after not using it for about a year) and holy moly, it’s 2.5 GB of bloat. AE is pretty great, but it’s not 2.5-GB-and-still-slow great. and I can do almost the same job with Blender, so there’s that.

Emacs, Fossil, Concourse, SearX, WireGuard, Mastodon, Element, Firefox (except for Mozilla and Pocket bullshit), CHICKEN Scheme, Docker, etc.
Docker is awesome! so is mastodon and element :)
To name a few of my favs which were not mentioned yet.
Git has to be up there
Git is love, git is life
Ok its done.
Small list:
sudoreplacementThanks for mentioning Doas. I thought it was exclusively for OpenBSD, but I see that there is an Arch Linux package for it. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/opendoas/
I like it, it is much faster on my laptop than plain old
sudo.I have some more in my dotfiles repo :)
Interesting. And I can imagine that Doas is more secure than sudo.
Nice!
Good old linux
For quality programs I’d say blender vlc and obs. They are so good that normal people use them because they are good instead of using them as a foss alternative to a better proprietary option.
Compleatly agree!
ncdu is brilliant
Linux, and all the random software that allows compatibility with my GAMER mouse, keyboard, and laptop. It’s amazing I can use Linux with out worry that my peripherals will not work!
Godot. It’s a great game engine.
Love godot!
Libre software I love and use daily:
Love qutebrowser. I installed it just to see what it was like and now it is my main browser.

Hmm NewPipe is great for watching youtube vids on Android. I also like Red Moon to prevent eyestrain and reduce blue light. Oh and Scarlet Notes FD is great for lists and stuff. All of these are available on the F-Droid app.
The list is pretty long so I will limit myself.
On my phone the apps that I use the most are FairEmail and Bromite.
On my computer I use Qutebrowser , beets and Strawberry.
Home Assistant
GNU, Linux, Python, KDE, Firefox
VLC
The guy who lead the dev team was offered millions for the right to the software, he declined it and made it open source. A true hero to us all
Thats crazy!

Omg how could I forget about Wikimedia? Elemnt, and Masdoon are both awesome too!
I think you meant MediaWiki and not Wikimedia. Wikimedia is a full organization which involves some projects (Wikipedia) and uses MediaWiki as main software for it.
