6 open-source programs I use instead of the paid alternatives

Well, rar is not "free as in free speech" as it's proprietary software, but it's free of charge for personal use. Given how the author seems to care more about not paying for software than supporting free (as in freedom) software, rar should be good enough. Of course, if her main complaint is that WinRAR keeps prompting her to "upgrade from the free trial," then it's an issue with WinRAR, not rar itself.

"I would love to be part of this fantastic community. Everything that I love about computers and programming is because of free software and the people who dedicate their lives to sharing and teaching. I want to be like the ones who showed me this beautiful project." If you love #FreeSoftware like Dani Méndez does, join the #FSF as an associate member and support free software: my.fsf.org/join

Sometimes I see @alternativeto pushing quite a lot of commercial software and wonder about the perceived shift of perspective.

#CAD #CAM for example: Artsoft's Mach3 & Mach4 are listed separately as controllers, but not the #FreeSoftware #OpenSouce alternative #UGS?! Even #YouTube is better in the case of #CNC since the existence of #UniversalGCODEsender isn't censored (like covid).

Please, stop the progress of #enshitification and save the much appreciated website with more #GPL alternatives. TY

… activists who are on Open Source initiative's radar have taken & will take more political hits for questioning this status quo & saying these emperors have no clothes. By signing the petition, every single individual in #OpenSource & #FreeSoftware communities can do a tiny bit to help those of us who face the constant onslaught in the political fray. I consider it my job to take the risk, but I ask you do something tiny to help make that work a bit easier.

Thank you for your consideration.
