Is there any browser with account and synchronization - but decentralized? Even just saving local files so I can sync a folder.
Firefox used to let you self-hosted the account sync. They changed the method they used a few years back and it wasn't backwards compatible, so I stopped self hosting, but they might still have that option.
Still no lemmy lol
As an alternative to Google Docs / Office, "Docs" by the French ๐ซ๐ท(DINUM) and German ๐ฉ๐ช governments (ZenDiS) is missing: https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/
It's Open Source, Self-hostable and European + it looks very polished ;)
Hope they'll do a spreadsheet app too eventually
They are :) https://www.beta.gouv.fr/startups/grist.numerique.gouv.fr.html
Although this one is still at an earlier stage. You can see how theyโre planning it out and who might develop it (only in French).
Nice. My french isn't that good, but if I understand correctly they are constructing it right now :))
En quelques dates Investigation 15 mars 2024
Construction 1er septembre 2024
They investigated in march 2024 and are building it since september 2024
I miss librewolf
So i guess this week is about office suits, I barely use it personally (markdown notes work fine) and just open whatever is send to me (most part is Google and Microsoft), but I will download and check the alternatives. Have tried LibreOffice in the past, but some years have passed son will definitely check them out.
Last few weeks i heard a few times about OpenOffice, but it's not on this list. Guess this the official website Anyone here willing to argue why I should or shouldn't try it?
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong or embarrassingly out of date. LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice back when Oracle bought Sun because their trademark lawyers were all like "Screw you, we own 'OpenOffice' now" to the open source community. Then Oracle realised that owning OpenOffice wasn't all that valuable when your company's reputation in the open source community is that of Oracle's, so gave it to Apache. OpenOffice seems to still have some life, but I think LibreOffice is the one most developers and users have stuck with.
OpenOffice is wildly outdated. LibreOffice was started from a copy of OpenOffice and is under continuous development.
They actually have an issue currently because OpenOffice refuse to take down their website and people keep downloading this piece of old software with the consequences that brings (security bugs, putting people off free software etc.

Thanks, I was surprised when I searched for it online. Just saw it mentioned a bunch of times and that website wasn't very convincing me to try it. But now I now so thanks, and @[email protected] as well
I think Mojeek was missed for free search engines.
Yacy. P2P search engine. Well can used local only too. Crawl the web at your own.
Do you use this? It looks amazing, but almost too good to be true.
I set it up on my Raspberry and run it locally in island mode. So I use it separately from duckduckgo. The quality of the results depends on which mode you use and what you are crawling You can set rules etc. for the search results or their sorting, but I haven't dealt with that, but it looks powerful in terms of scope. The tasks for crawling can also be set very precisely, including how much hardware resources can be made available for usage and much more. You can also set when and whether these are repeated. With the depth, the whole thing can quickly take on extreme proportions and should not be exaggerated. As I don't surf the web that much, I have relatively few sources. If I don't find anything and have to use DDG, I take the domain from the best result and create a new crawl task and then start it. It is definitely worth a look. If you really want to, you can definitely host a powerful search engine yourself.
Thanks, I'm going to have to think about this.
i'd love to see maybe weekly threads where people share their opinion on certain categories. like email, hosting, domain, etc
This community ([email protected]) isn't really used for anything else so the previous posts about specific topics are easy to see. They don't necessarily have many comments but it might help you find other places these images posted to.
It's too bad there are so many communities where this stuff is posted to, real downside of federated content if you ask me because it's so easy to miss content added in the comment of a duplicate post you never see.
I always advocate for consolidating [email protected] and [email protected] to [email protected] , but the mods of those two communities aren't open to the idea
Too bad, i'd be in favor as well. Even if two of them consolidate that would be a step in the right direction.
Feel free to create them!
