Community News
Ever wanted to find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products? Maybe since 2013 and Snowden? Maybe since 2018 and GDPR? No matter your reason, or timeline, now you can either find or add your favorite to the european-alternatives.eu list. Some of them you see being mentioned weekly around here, in no particular order: Tuta Mail, Infomaniak kMail, OSMAnd, Organic Maps, koofr, Infomaniak kDrive, Nextcloud, Mastodon, Pleroma, Mullvad VPN, Proton VPN, Proton Pass, Threema, Codeberg, Firefox, Infomaniak kMeet, Tuta Calendar, Wire, Element, Mattermost, PeerTube.
“Only on F-Droid”? Facundo Holzmeister on YouTube has a clip with their list of best Open Source Apps NOT on a centralized store. And the first one on the list is Smart Dock recently updated to 1.13.0.
aTox was updated to 0.8.0 after almost 3 years. It’s mostly a bug fix release, but that’s progress too.
Kodi was updated to 21.1, just a point release but with plenty of fixes
OsmAnd~ was updated to 4.9.6 (and 4.9.7 will soon follow) and it brings a lot of nice features. My own favorite: a Vehicle Metrics plugin that lets you monitor your vehicle’s performance via OBD-II. We will mark this update as “suggested” after more testing, but you can always manually install it or toggle Beta updates from app details, to get it right now.
Status was updated to 2.31.1, and if you care about “tokens” and “swaps” you might want to take a look at what’s new.
UniPatcher was updated to 0.17.3 and brought back from Archive after 6 years. Besides the usual translations updates, there were a lot of fixes and improvements.
VLC was updated to 3.6.0 Beta 3, so make sure you give it a good run, specially if you’ve seen any crashes.
We talked about “team chat” solutions like Mattermost back in August, but did you know that Zulip, updated to 27.232, approaches the same goal by a different route? Their “topic based threading model” tries to allow users to better and easily follow conversations and improve communication. And of course, all this using a FLOSS server that you can self-host wherever you choose.
