  • Obsidian isn’t FOSS, but two fantastic replacements are Standard Notes and Notesnook.

    A great paint option I don’t see listed is KolourPaint, plus Kdenlive for video editing. For audio editing, Tenacity is the better choice over Audacity. It’s an Audacity fork made after some questionable privacy policy changes.

    CryptPad is an awesome Google Doc’s replacement, but Libre Office is actively working on their version too.

    For your security section, adding some encryption software would be smart. Both VeraCrypt and Cryptomator are amazing. Also, Bitwarden/Vaultwarden are solid password manager alts for KeePassXC, with Vaultwarden being self hosted.

    Here’s a great site for all sorts of Lemmy clients.

    As far as Linux laptops go, System 76’s Darter Pro is also a solid choice. Tuxedo is probably System 76’s biggest competition, as they offer very comparable laptops. Their InfinityBook Pro is a great computer. Frameworks, Slimbook, and Star Labs are all also worth a mention.










  • It’s not just USAID. The BBC is actually funded by two branches of the US government.

    Last year, the US State Department gave BBC Media Action £280,000.

    The group says it used the $$$ to reach 100 million people in 24 countries with its programmes.

    After covering the BBC’s public relations response, the article then goes on to say:

    That sounds nice, of course. But when you’re aware of the role USAID has played as the ‘friendly face’ of US imperialism, more scrutiny of BBC Media Action is essential.

    What I took away from it is that since the BBC is affiliated with this blatant US corruption, regardless of directly or indirectly, the specifics regarding the association needs to be known by the public.
