You can always check AlternativeTo for FOSS (and non-US based) software alternatives.

1.Tineye? Not sure if it’s FOSS tho…

There’s Instant Street View, tho it’s just I guess a wrapper (???) for Google SV.

I hear ya. I have never had good luck with Scribus despite several dedicated tries. Still kind of learning Inkscape; I mentioned Krita instead of GIMP because it has full CMYK support. Depends on what your needs are I guess! 🙂

As far as InDesign—I don’t think it will probably ever have 1:1 feature parity, but LibreOffice Writer has recently gotten some new features that allow for more fine-tuned word and letter spacing as well as glyph scaling. A paragraph composer is on the horizon as well. There’s also Inkscape and Krita, but I’m guessing you probably already know about those…

EDIT: Also agitating for optical margin alignment on Writer; will see how that goes…

Looks like ebooks purchased from Google Play Store still use crackable Adobe DRM. I’d prefer to buy from ebooks.com, but I refuse to be confined to one app or device by fucking DRM. I don’t like giving money to Google, but if you have GrapheneOS you’re already forking out big bucks to them for a Pixel phone, though hopefully in the future it’ll be able to run on Motorola . . .

There’s this, but anyone know where I can get Thorium 3.10?

EDIT: Was hoping for Calibre plugin(s) . . .

This is great! And it’s been around since June of last year! How did I miss this? Think it might be because I should’ve searched for “block” rather than “tetris” on F-Droid.

Actually, you can use Signal for this, if you have it on both your phone and laptop, and use “note to self.” I prefer this because it’s very straightforward and isn’t bogged down with a lot of extraneous extra features that other notetaking apps I’ve tried tend to have.

Yeah, same here. I occasionally I need it to get OTP codes to log into banking sites and whatnot, and it’d be nice not to have to go hunting around for my phone if I don’t have it handy.

I’ve been using Librera, does anyone know if its bookmarks/reading progress can be sync’d to desktop?

I think you can make the font bigger in the settings.

Don’t mean to pour cold water on this, but wasn’t there some issue with FUTO that @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml warned us about? Might be thinking of the wrong thing, getting old here . . . 👴

I do indeed use apt. I think that all of those are bona fide dependencies! I believe there was also a “recommended” part which listed a few other things that I didn’t install. sudo apt autoremove should remove unneeded stuff, I believe, but doing it just now, it didn’t find anything.

Just saw this, Android 2 Linux Notifications on F-Droid, anyone tried it yet? The question for my purposes, of course, will be whether or not it will show the content of the notifications, which I’ll need for 2FA codes. Might just give it a try . . .

I find the KDE Connect display to be a bit clunky, but if you’re on Cinnamon there are two applets which help to smooth out the experience a bit.
