Is there anyone who lives like RMS

Is there anyone who uses 0 proprietary software just like Richard Stallman. Is it really possible to live like that in modern world where ATM machines, most public wifi consists of closed source software?

Trying to get mgmt to approve the subnoscription for the environment but we have a dev who wants a host with support so he can reach out with questions here and there but I only really care for the esm apps and landscape across the board.

Open source note taking apps?

Hi. Basically, I’m asking for suggestions. Do you know any good note taking app that works on linux desktop? I’m looking for something that I can use instead of Notion or Obsidian, with some nice to have:

- Open source (that’s the reason I’m not that much into Obsidian, it could disappear tomorrow and I could not replace it with a community maintained fork)
- Markdown based. I’d like to know that I can replace that app for another one when I want, and that’s not possible when they use their own obscure format
- Local. I’m not interested in paying monthly for cloud storage. And actually, I’d prefer to know for certain that nothing leaves my local machine
- Nice UX. I know that using plain text files and vim might do the job, but I’d like something more user friendly and with nice features (Notion, for example, nails it in my opinion)
- Bonus: Can also be used on android (I’m aware this is a though one, and is not a deal breaker)

I know that all those requirements are hard to fulfill and I don’t even know if something like that exists, so I’d appreciate any kind of suggestion. For example, It’d be great if an open source like that exists, but I’m not completely closed to open-source-ish proprietary apps (e.g. licenses not really open but close enough), as long as they are free to use and work on linux.

Hello and good day/night to everyone here. I have kind of a plea: does anybody (anyone at all, as I've been asking this same thing from a lot of people by now, but to no avail thus far) know if there's a standalone version of this exact same skin out there? So that I could download it for Audacious.

Can somebody give a history lesson? Why did browser video plugins used to need interprocess setup, and why isn't it needed anymore?

I remember way back on linux you used to need to mess around with browser plugins. Some video would work, and some images would work, but if you wanted to support what worked by default on Windows or Mac you used to need to mess with configuring interprocess stuff. Things like passing PIDs or X Windows IDs/"handles" to a video decoder.

I never got these kinds of setups to work, but I know they were pretty common at some point. I would have been in high school or early college, so it's entirely possible I didn't understand what was going on and maybe I'd be able to set it up with little problem today.

What was missing at that time that this type of workaround was needed? Were browsers' plugin implementations just not well implemented for linux builds? Was some now-common linux package not around yet? Did the linux kernel add something that trivialized implementing this kind of thing? Driver limitations?

Flowblade video editing program now converting images/videos into highly pixelated versions.

After using flowblade for a while. Everything was good. Then a pop up asked to change file because it was not... (should have taken printscreen). I trusted that it wanted to format it in a preferable way. I had already used this exact file on another project. I saw no harm. Alas, hence forth every visual element from pictures to videos are now heavily pixelated. I've tried renaming said file. No difference. So its how its reading the files?

How can I revert this? Deleting through terminal 'perge' and 'autoremove', then redownloading is the same results. I'm not sure what config files come with this program, as I did not see anything named flowblade. That could to be the place were the error lives. I dunno, help.

Use "laptop" as another Monitor

Hi! So I was wondering if there is a way to use another laptop as an extra monitor, the thing is that I bought another monitor but my dock isn't compatible with the usbc-c so I can only use my only hdmi port lol but I already have another monitor connected to it... so I came up with the idea that perhaps i could connect my new monitor with a old laptop that i can share my workspace with (from the one that i use) so when connecting the old lap to hdmi it'll be like i have two monitors, the one that i have in the computer i use, the one i have connected to my current laptop hdmi and the other that's connected to the old laptop in some way? I've come across some with virual vm, but that's not the idea I have in mind, so if anyone knows I can look into it :\^) ty!
