VSCode (or the base app used by it) is open source (see: VSCodium). It has a similar relationship to Chrome and its base Chromium, where assets and tweaks are added to brand the product. You may have been trying to say “a great open source, VSCode alternative” and I misunderstood. Just commenting to remove ambiguity.
AGPL for the WIN!!! Sadly licensing only works if we have competent laws to protect small developers. The enemy doesn’t play by their own rules.
Another app with mentioning, Simple Time Tracker
Thanks.
How do I compile from source? I would like to see that in the readme
I watched it and I thought it was alright. I have no context for anything outside the video but what he said seems to make sense. Idk anything about FUTO other than they are at least source available for their apps which is enough to be able to inspect their claims about privacy and security.
My take on non-profit source available licenses (I know nothing just stream of thought):
I am I’m favor of an “open” source license minus profiting off of your forks, which I understand makes the resulting license not open source. In a capitalist system, the capitalist class will take every opportunity to parasitically take where ever possible. Nothing free in a capitalist system, including living. Free development comes at a cost, even iif made purely out of passion.
Most of the code I will ever publish will be open source, with the exception of some big and very unique passion projects that I wish to stay nonprofit. Any person who forks it owns their code, but is limited to donations (just in the same way I’d adhere to the license). Source available at least means people can inspect it for badware, which is good for privacy and security. Allowing forking and community collaboration is important. But some greedy corporation stealing your code without contributing back is gross. In an ideal world we wouldn’t care about the perceived costs to our time by developing and releasing code for free because money would play no part in our ability to continue existing or as a way to measure our “worth”. Why freely enable thier behaviour just to maintain some pure ideological boundaries. They dont deserve to profit off of our labor and passion.
Not a fan of your variable formatting within that string. You are banished from the mickey mouse code house. /s
I just read through the unofficial Flathub Flatpak for Signal and it is very simple. It fetches the .deb from Signal’s website, installs it in the sandbox, and uses a launcher script to tell the OS some basic toggles like should it start minimized or should it display a tray icon. In the script it makes use of zypak, which to my understanding is to tell electron (chromium) to allow sandboxing to be handled by Flatpak. Here is the repo and the build instructions is the .yaml file.
Flatpaks are pretty easy to read through. Just go to the links section of Flathub and click the manifest, then read it to see what is done during building.
Its not official, but you can read the manifest to see what is done during building.
Try Mercery for a boost in performance of about 8-20% dependent on machine: https://thorium.rocks/mercury
Or for better security/privacy try LibreWolf: https://librewolf.net
Normal Firefox has telemetry and poor default settings but is still feature rich if you take the time to config.
Webcord is also a great client with great settings to limit fingerprinting and rendering of specific things. Has support for Fosscord (Spacebar) built in.
Its underdeveloped because it isn’t flashy, though quite necessary. Accessibility is one thing that often is neglected (from large support) in general, OSS or otherwise.
Piper tts has quality models. Here are 2 references using it with speech-dispatcher:
Hacked together: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper/discussions/328

I recommend mull over firfox for mobile. Has many of the patches from torproject and arkenfox user.js, and it is released by the divestOS project. All id add to it is ublock origin.
fdroid: https://www.f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
Edit: I see people saying OP is on ios. If so it isnt available and wouldnt do much anyways saidly. Keeling this comment for others who use android.
Notesnook is free, e2ee, nice ui, and has cloud sync. Recommmend
Liking and commenting isn’t possible through any client to my knowledge. Freetube is a nice frontend app available on linux. Follow existing tutorials for how to export subs from YT then import your subs in the app.
