It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

      For X/Twittwr there are many options but Mastodon(mastodon.social instance specifically) it’s my favorite, it also works as an alternative to Facebook.

      I just feel a lot better with Mastodon rather than X/Twitter

      Parallel Desktop

      There are several FOSS alternatives. All of them are more popular that Parallels.

        I have used them all. None of them comes closer to Parallel desktop. (Qemu a little bit)

        are you talking wine, virtual box, quemu and such? Im pretty sure he is looking for usage like parallels so dual booting a mac and then running it from the mac side. I mean im not sure but thinking from a parallels user perspective that is my guess at the ask.

      For RSS I recommend twine—not sure if it’s available on Mac os though. That’s always going to be a struggle with foss stuff, support for Mac is lacking because the people making them tend not to use macs

        Sorry for lack of clarification. I meant bing AI or they call it copilot now
