I'm looking for an application thats designed to be a privacy focused alternative to Google's 'Google Assistant'. I've been looking for years, and couldn't. Spite me looking on F-Droid and github. I couldn't find anything that I was satisfied with. I'm on android 10, meaning I'm aiming for an optimized app, hell, an app not using spyware components or tracking etc.

I was wondering if anyone has discovered a Google Slides alternative web app where I could have, I can create presentations where in a privacy focused manner, something like proton docs.

I just don't feel like using Google Slides even Though it's pretty well known and I might use it. I just don't trust Google if you know what I mean

I myself like Gnome's Epiphany browser. Yeah it's not perfect, but at least it works and granted the performance is getting somewhere. Also, I think its based on Apple's Webkit, but I couldn't be more far off.

What a great project! Love the idea. I’m going to check it out later as I’m a bit busy.

YouTube RSS... (lemmy.zip)
submitted 1 month ago by Synther@lemmy.zip to c/webdev@programming.dev

I was wondering if there was any way I could grab all of the content creator's channel (that I watch) rss feed from YouTube and make it into one html file to host it on my github pages. I can then go to my rss reader, I use YouTube music and AntennaPod. YouTube music for my iPhone and AntennaPod on android as a backup.

Just wondering if this was possible, but also, I remember seeing a reddit post (or stack overflow) not long ago, like a year ago. A user asked about this and youtube shut that down due to, and I'm taking a guess, its because of this may block ads preventing them from making profit.

Alien What If... (i.imgur.com)
submitted 1 month ago by Synther@lemmy.zip to c/shitposting@lemmy.ml

Let’s imagine a hypothetical scenario where an alien spaceship crash-lands at a specific spot where North Dakota and Saskatchewan meet. In this case, would the aliens face any legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment, for illegally crossing the border? Given that this location is quite remote and sparsely populated, how do you think authorities from both the United States and Canada would handle such an unprecedented situation in terms of jurisdiction and border control?

Just wondering because I do believe that there are other lives out there in this vast universe. Sorry, but the last post I made regarding Streetview, I checked out panoramax.fr, and found it really interesting and fun to use as a FOSS Google Maps Alternative.

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my phone to Android 11 (god for bid Android 13/14) on my Samsung S9.

I remember back when I did this, back in 2020 I somehow installed Android 11, it must of been an update Samsung rolled out and I didn't noticed until in December of 2021, I accidentally factory reset, yes, ask me how I managed to do that.

Just wondering if this is possible, as I know its not, and I know that the S9 is EOL.

I am trying to find this application that's in fdroid (repo on github) but I am unable to find it again. It's an application designed to help bring the music finder feature from android 12+ to older versions. Android compute core.

shazam foss alternative built into AOSP

Just something I like that Android has, no Google from what I've read back when I got my pixel. The music that my phone detects doesn't get sent to google. Anyways, I can't find app, and the icon is literally the same as the official one from what AOSP has.

I was wondering why there isn't or if there is, an Open Source (Free, or not) Street View like Google Maps. I like geography as a hobby, like my other hobbies, and found GeoHub which sparked my interest in being a free geoguessr alternative. I just don't understand why Google is the only Mapping service people go to, is Google the only one that has street view? is this a hard business model to achieve?

Please, I'd love too know :)

I watched this video where they talked about how someone installed Linux on their Google drive. Like, installing everything in Google drive, not finding some Google client. Storing the /* in Drive.

I am currently attempting to do this as well, but with Microsoft OneDrive. I'll update you all on my progress!

For reference, when I saw this for the first time on Twitter. I thought it was a normal image, so I posted here be or your thoughts / opinions on Linux vs windows. Looking back, I noticed that it’s such a stupid infographic.

When I refer to Linux, I am referring to a computer with the kernel and other software that makes up a Personal Computer.

I like to think that Linux is great, and always will be, a Personal Computer. Windows, I will always remember it being the best thing for business’s as Microsoft pushes licenses and such business related features.

I switched to Linux in 2020, Ubuntu, and slowly learned my ways around, and understanding how everything works, but most people don’t have to now, it’s so simple to get started.

Is This Thunder? (lemmy.zip)
submitted 2 months ago by Synther@lemmy.zip to c/thunder_app@lemmy.world

I found a Similar logo design to thunder, and was wondering where this is originally from?

I was browsing TikTok, yes, judge me. Haven’t been on in years, and still hate it.

Yeah! I did ‘rest’ for rest api support. That works too

I was thinking of making a Free Open Source Resturant, with free food and drinks made purely out of free software components. I was thinking of licensing this under the GPLv3 for a freedom living experience, and not only that. I was also thinking it all in Rust!!

I was wondering if there was a Web Application where I can work on Android App Development. Think of it like if vscode was only built for Android Development, and how cool it would be to develop android apps directly into your browser, just like vscode.dev.

Now, I was thinking of using vscode.dev and installing Gradle and Kotlin packages from the marketplace, but I was wondering if there was another alternative instead of using a Microsoft Product.

Likewise, I'm on an Xbox One where I can only use the Browser, can't install anything.

Alright, yeah, I'm using KDE. I don't recall downloading anything, like clam AV, ever.

I knew that .db stood for Database.

Likewise, I guess this could be, like you said, some sort of program I previously installed that checked for a list of URLs that are malware. Again, I have never installed any program like these, and if I did, I would probably delete it after a minute of checking it out lol.

To be real with you, I find windows more complicated, the syntax..

It’ll be back up, it always will because family “has” to use it because it’s the only “easy to use” social media platform they’ve knew for a decade. TBF, it’s pretty shit in terms of the ui and I can’t navigate through the damn settings.

I don’t actively browse or use facebook

[-] Synther@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

Listen, it’s a screenshot from when I was using windows back in 2020. It’s from Facebook messenger, I just didn’t feel like downloading and uploading when Lemmy has a url link I can drop here. Sorry, I get why you hate Facebook, me too. I just find it convenient to use the link feature. Again, privacy badger is a useful add on I use that helps blocks Facebook and X (Twitter) widgets.

[-] Synther@lemmy.zip 14 points 8 months ago

Nice, I did know Steam had an overlay, as I used it once. OBS, I have seen people use Replay Buffer. I'll probably check this out.

There should be more ways to earn profit. Websites shouldn’t rely on advertising as the only method of recurve stream, in my opinion.

[-] Synther@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago

I was also going to use unity for my video game, but as I saw that unity changed their policy, or is going to change it too the worse in January. I’m going to stick with Godot.
