Signal. Highly secure communication. No ads. Easy to use.
7 zip, VLC, Paint.net, proxmox, home assistant
Wikipedia. Not an app but still deserves a mention.
Wikipedia is free because it’s wrong a lot.
People pay for facts, not opinion. When it comes to “news.”
Well… that’s not true exactly…
Besides… innit like 1 guy runnin’ all o’ Wikipedia?
VLC is a big one for me.
some new weird video format opens windows stock media player because it’s not yet associated with vlc
“Hey… it looks like your going to have to buy a codec…”
manually open in vlc where it runs seemlessly
People buy codecs?
Literally never heard of the end user being billed for the codecs.
[Edit]: I think I should rephrase. Could I please be informed about how are codecs priced?
I wonder what are the ToS, is this $0.79 all that you have to pay to use it for commercial purposes?
default behaviour of Windows Media Player…
Oof

Godot
I cant believe it has a better user experience than unity, an app that has a 412 USD/month paid plan
KiCad. GNU Linux. Blender. Gqrx. Rclone. Syncthing
Organic Maps
Can you provide a bit of info on it? What is it for and how does it stand out among the other apps or programs?
It’s a beautiful, FOSS, offline/local Google maps-like app for Android that uses Open Street Map data.
There are plenty of other offline/local map apps, some paid, some free, but they are nowhere near as polished.
Is open street map data pretty accurate? I don’t expect google mas level of accuracy but I think its important that I can rely on the maps when I don’t know anything about where I’m at
I did a month long trip around western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden) and used Organic Maps as my only navigation app. Worked well for everything I used it for. Even the metro data was accurate. Also, in my home country, Estonia, it’s even better than Google Maps, because it has bike navigation integrated.
That’s very promising to hear!
uBlock Origin leading the pack by at least a furlong.
Home Assistant, not only an App but it changed the way i look at IoT/Smarthome and in that way it brings me a lot of comfort.
Krita. I had a uni licence for Photoshop for years, even took a Photoshop course but still kept using Krita. It has an intuitive UI and all the tools I’ll ever need.
RStudio+R is way better than any of its proprietary alternatives.
Blender. I’m no 3D modling expert but it does everything I as a hobbyist want to do with it and so much more. Nowadays, the UI is pretty decent, too.
Finally, the Lagrange browser is really good. The gemini protocol is kinda niche though, but if you’re interested it’s unreasonably pretty, well optimized and has a great UX. The guy who maintains it really puts his heart and soul into it.
firefox
considering the big monopoly of chrome based is not really free, it’s paid by google or microsoft mining user data
Firefox gets like 90% of its funding from Google for making Google the default search.
I still can’t get used to calling programs apps
Read Era. They also have a paid option but the free is great as it is!
7zip
WinRAR anyone ? 🤭
What do you mean? I paid \s
So it was you
