besides weird central/eastern europe chaos, there’s also no islands that are highlighted at all in north america, not even the big ones like cuba or haiti/dominican republic. I will probably add those at some point, but that’ll be later.

ok I fixed it, it should just be “art” (a library to make ascii art) and “colorama” (easier coloured text)

oh wait shoot did it just add all the modules installed on my computer…damn… how do I make a proper requirements.txt? that pip command definitely didn’t do it…

oop yep that’s probably important. I’ve added that to the repo!

oh and also I should definitely include links to awesome-selfhosted and other similar github repos, that would definitely be good too.

that seems pretty cool. I should probably add links to similar github repos as well (e.g. awesome-selfhosted, awesome-[whatever], etc.)

I use floorp (firefox fork) because I like having the tabs at the bottom. Makes them closer to the taskbar and a bit easier to navigate.

oh damn that’s kinda cool

yeah, I’ve been told that this is spam. Should I delete the post?

Thanks for the criticism! yeah, there is definitely heavy bias in this. I’ll try to add some description to why I chose what I chose. I think I did that well when it comes to the “devices” section (I have written the specs of some of the laptops and compared them based on that) but yeah you’re right I definitely need to improve on that.

Screenshots of the programs are a good idea too. A lot of the desktop and phone apps were mostly based on my experiences with them and I agree that it’s definitely quite biased. Maybe I could extend bestof into being a review site as well, that would be kind of cool and interesting.

oh, and also, bestof isn’t yet another suggestion repo, my idea is that it covers a whole lot of different topics from clothing to smart home tech to 3d printers. I’ve got the breadth of content, but need more depth, as you said! Again, thank you for your time to respond, really appreciate it!

yep ok I’ll do that next time. Sorry about the crossposting, my bad! Originally I thought that I should share each category of bestof with their respective communities, but now it just looks like spam (and looking at it, it really is imo)!

oh yep, oops, I’ll go fix that

yes, but LibreOffice makes more sense for Linux in my opinion. for some weird reason LibreOffice’s UI in Windows looks horrible, so for Windows I prefer OnlyOffice. On Linux, LibreOffice’s UI is fine, so I prefer that over OnlyOffice for Linux.

another upside to this quiz over things like Sporcle is that since it’s a python program, you don’t need an internet connection to play it.

I just wanted to share a fun project I was working on :(

yep, I fixed the typo! I’ve always thought it was spelt Mastadon. weird. I never used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/whatever even before I knew about the fediverse. I basically only use Mastodon to keep up to date with tech news through following accounts like android authority. Pixelfed I use just to share photos I’ve captured. Lemmy I use as what it is: a reddit alternative. Never used frendica before, but probably won’t try it since I personally have no use for it.

fixed the link. maybe I typed it wrong. also btw I find that editing posts on lemmy has a bit of delay and doesn’t appear immediately, so if you still have problems, try this link: https://swarbler.github.io/bestof/tech/data-and-power/data/data

oh cool, never knew about that. I’ll add that then! I searched for a little bit and it seems WAY more lightweight than the official bitwarden server.
