Throw in Git and that's me.

I like a bunch of OSS projects but Firefox is way up there above the rest.

Are we only counting FOSS or would Doom count? If Doom counts, my pick is Doom. Having access to Doom's source code is where I learned a huge majority of my programming knowledge making mods for it.

Since major projects like Firefox keep getting mentioned, I’ll throw a shout out to Ant Renamer.

It’s simple, it’s FOSS, and it just works. I often - ahem - acquire a number of files from various sources that are labeled like β€œMission.Impossible.7.Complete.zHD.2022.xReloadedx”, and an application like Ant Renamer can batch rename files into whatever you need.

For example, if I need to backup or copy a set of game saves in a folder that all need to have the same prefix like N007 from N002, I would have to manually change 10K files from one prefix to the other. Ant Renamer can do everything in a batch that runs quicker than the blink of an eye.

So, Ant Renamer for the win!

  • Python
  • pacman
  • nix
  • util-linux
  • procps-ng

Vaultwarden

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefox, probably. Though Heroic Games Launcher is getting there real fast. And currently I very often use Baby Journal, though it's an app I wrote, so I'm not sure I can really call it "favorite", but it's definitely one of my most used FOSS apps currently.

Is Android a valid answer? Maybe not Google's monstrosity but AOSP (although I feel as though it's hard to extricate one from the other save for projects like GrapheneOS).

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Firefox, GNU Linux, VLC, GIMP, Krita, Blender (even if I didn't used it that much), Lemmy of course with it's different FOSS clients

mpv.io !
I discovered it before covid, and it is really lightweight and customizable. So many plug-ins, and they're so simple to create.
I was usually having issues with VLC or settings that he didn't have. No issues with mpv, so far.

Yggdrasil, an IPv6 end to end encrypted networking proof of concept. There's something about it that I find so innovative that I want it to succeed so badly !

Blender, by far :)

[–] mirror_slap@lemmy.film 10 points 1 year ago

The Linux Kernel and operating system in general. It is simultaneously my favorite and I hate that it killed my prior favorite, the SGI Irix operating system. I was there at the beginning, from kernel 1.1 through today. I remember telling regional directors at silicon graphics that Linux was the future and them disparaging that opinion.
