Organic Maps is the upgrade over Google Maps.
The only reason I use Google Maps is I use an old ass phone with limited storage space, and it won’t let me remove Google Maps.
They made the RTX version, so now I can see it in 4k, thank you developers!
But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.
That sounds like exploitation of free labor with extra steps and a vegan coat.

You’ve never worked on software in a big company have you?
There are definitely a lot of brilliant engineers working at companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple, they just get hamstrung by management.
That’s the point
OK who changed the wojak into a beautiful woman?
It was on Lemmy World’s All[0] less than 10 days ago.
That art style is pretty off-putting tbh.
The naked woman is kinda odd too
She might be wearing a tube top. Need a wider angle to be sure.
wojak is a beautiful woman
Yay
Because you are the product, not the software that you use.
I think a lot of paid commercial software is significantly better than FLOSS
Name paid commercial software to replace grep
And if it’s so good, why haven’t they released an Open Source 2?
If you like open source THAT much, why don’t you marry it??
Fork me, baby 🫦
We need a community for sharing comment art like these
Because it’s so good that a v2 is not needed.
We got gpl3
if gplv3 so good, why there no gplv4??
checkmate
AGPL is gplv4. Yahtzee
AGPL2 when
All those Silicon Valley brogrammers would have “OpS2 evangelist” in their bio.

“Slightly worse”. I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac. I was almost worried that I would like the “just works” aspects everyone have been so exited about. Wow. What a piece of shit it is. Settings items takes forever to load after boot, mouse feels like it is stuck in mud (even if I remove accelleration and increase speed), it cannot wake many monitors up from sleep, it completely disables the keyboard momentarily when activating the screen (and if it fails to wake it, it becomes a flashing, keyboard grabbing nightmare). The window management? I can set up a workspace on this and that keybind, “oh, you disconnected the monitor, well we permuted the keybinds for you” wtf? When I get home and switch to linux, it is such a relief.
Lol, since the last major update I can’t type a tilde or a backtick, presumably because it doesn’t recognize my keyboard type?? And I had to install another program that prevent Apple Music from opening each time I connect/disconnect bluetooth headphones?? Or to add week numbers to the calendar widget. Even Gnome isn’t that bad.
presumably because it doesn’t recognize my keyboard type??
The answer by Apple (and their parroting fanbois): You don’t actually need those keys. It’s confusing for users to have too many characters.
this is what they mean by “just works” is that it doesn’t do much of anything.
It’s not, though. It’s a big reason why I’m here, in fact. Boost for Android is awesome!
Boost went open-source?
Oh that’s a good point, I don’t know (or care) if Boost is open source. I was more referring to Lemmy.
If we’re talking Lemmy and Lemmy clients, I’d argue it’s a helluva lot better. For one, I can rotate my fucking screen
Hell, the thing that got my to switch was when they got rid of third party apps, because of how absolutely abysmally shitty the official app is
Sometimes slightly worse. Like LibreOffice.
Sometimes actually better, like VLC.
Sometimes about the same, like the latest version of MuseScore (older versions were, in fact, quite a bit worse).
But sometimes, like with older versions of GIMP (I’ll admit, I’ve not tried its latest major version release candidate) it’s significantly worse.
To quote a non-computer savvy friend from a few years ago. When he was talking to someone else, I just over heard the conversation.
Na, I use VLC player. It always works, it will play a slice of cucumber.
Libreoffice is slightly worse because all the proprietary office suites keep lowering the bar for everyone to follow them. It’s not a quality issue, it’s a never ending contest to figure out how to complicate writing a simple letter so that everyone has to buy only your software.
PSA: Inkscape is good now!
For LibreOffice, I’d go with, worse and better at the same time.
- I have just noticed, overtime, that it has some problems in some cases, where MS Office does better, while there are certain cases where it does better.
There are 2 major pain points though:
- Calc UI stutters when using the scrollbar with mouse click and drag.
- Adding images to files makes the whole thing way slower than acceptable.
I haven’t used it for a few months though, so something might have changed. But the second issue specifically is a long time one.
On the other hand, the formula usages are much better in Calc. Also, the documents don’t get wonky between versions as much as MS Office
LibreOffice is more than slightly worse, but FOSS projects cover the gamut. The thing about them is that the best ones are usually laser focused on exactly what the user needs, rather than what makes the most money.
Calc was actually quite comparable for 90% of Excel features I have ever actually used.
Writer is petty good on its own, but the fact that .docx documents don’t quite matchup vs. When making and opening with Word makes it difficult for me to use officially.
Impress is just plain disappointing compared to PowerPoint.
Base might be okay, better than nothing I guess.
The rest of the suite I don’t know.
Dont edit in shitty formats, edit native, publish to pdf. Skip the pointless MS Office step. If someone else wants to collaborate, great they can download LibreOffice or alternatives for free. If they expect the docx format ask them to pay for your 12 month subscription or stfu.
They can also open open document files in word just fine
365 is far worse IMO. New web only apps (replacing all the desktop apps) are a big step backwards. LibreOffice does everything needed natively and a lot more.
It’s the return of the network computer of the 9xs. But worse.
I genuinely doesn’t know there’s paid media player out there, VLC came preinstall on all my prebuild PC purchase since forever.
There definitely exist paid players out there (or at least used to…dunno if they still exist), but there are also “free” (as in beer) non-free (as in speech) options, like the ones included out of the box in a Windows or macOS installation.
If you like professional photography, you can try darktables. It’s a replacement for Lightroom and it’s great in my opinion.
Gimp is still useful for quick and simple edits. It’s a bit weird to use though.
IMO Krita is better than GIMP for the quick simple edits.
Gimp is still useful for quick and simple edits
See, the problem with that is that that’s precisely not how I use Photoshop. I don’t use it often (certainly not often enough to actually pay for it), but when I do, I tend to go fairly deep.
I should try out Darktable though. I used to use Aperture until it was discontinued, and these days I frequently use Lightroom, though I don’t really love it.
I wonder how many paid apps were utterly decimated after they released VLC
And then you have Blender, Krita, OBS, VLC, bitwarden & Let’s Encrypt.
But tons of corporate contribution to big open source projects so it is sometimes grey.
Slightly worse? I can actually sort and the video player actually works, instead of whatever the FUCK was going on with the other place, for literally ever.
And it’s actually not slightly worse but better in every way.
