A list of open source YouTube frontends - both websites and apps. It is separated into categories based on device type and is aimed to be as comprehensive as possible.

WHAT IS F-DROID ? F-Droid is an awesome app repository for FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) android apps. From productivity apps to games, f-droid has (almost) everything you need. Hope you will discover useful FOSS apps to free your phone from Big Tech^^ REPOSITORIES : This list includes apps from the official f-droid repo but also from IzzyOnDroid and some customs repositories which will be always linked so you can add them easily. CATEGORIES : F-Droid clients Utilities Social & Communication / 8 subcategories Health / 7 subcategories Customization / 3 subcategories Gaming / 3 subcategories Internet / 6 subcategories Productivity / 15 subcategories Privacy / 5 subcategories Security / 4 subcategories Media apps / 10 subcategories If you care about privacy check : Privacy focused OS for everyone My privacy and user friendly setup For more FOSS Android apps check : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android DISCLAIMERS : Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it ! Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list ! English is not my mother tongue ^^'

A list of open-source software containing slop (LLM generated) code or endorses the usage of LLMs in other ways. This list contains software that obviously accepts irresponsible coding practices or promotes LLM usage. I found these applications while searching for alternatives to previously used software that turned out to contain code generated by slop-machines. Each of added applications have at least one link that points to the verifiable proof. This list by no means is meant to cover all the software that contains code by not-so-intelligent tools and people using them but to serve as a reminder to myself about what I have already checked. Why having LLM generated code (and using generative tools in general) is bad? Ethical reasons — such as illegally retrieved training material, underpaid workers that prepare the training data. Impact on environment — increased fossil fuel usage to supply the needed electricity power, water usage in water scarce regions. This somewhat overlaps with the above. Social impact – noise pollution in neighbourhoods near AI data centres, air pollution from diesel- or gas-powered turbines (also overlaps with the above), resource consumption by data centres drastically increases utility prices. Impact on brain and thinking, reasoning — by offloading thinking and decision making to machines people are shooting in their foot (more like in their head) as this leads to brain rot. Less intelligent people are easier to control. Even legal issues (especially in open-source software as it cannot be guaranteed that the “generated” code is not really just re-used, thus unknowingly violating the source license). Inevitable enshittification — every software product from big technology eventually gets enshittified to maximize revenue. For users this could mean hidden or plain ads, biased opinions/information, privacy violations, increased prices for LLM based tools. Burden on open-source software maintenance — LLM tools provide easier access to code contributions which often shifts the responsibility of checking code quality from developers to maintainers and reviewers. Digging through walls of merge request text and code generated by slop-machines takes valuable time that otherwise could be spent more meaningfully by fixing bugs and working on new features. I will try to add links that back up the claims above, but it may take a while. Of course, I see how and where generative tools could be helpful and sometimes I feel tempted to find an acceptable way to use them, but for now the direct and indirect costs far too much outweigh gains. This list has its positive counterpart: Slop-Free (Supposedly) Open-Source Software (not quite complete yet). Also take a look at and give thumbs up to AI Slopfree Software Catalog which contains software dedicated against usage of LLMs. Also, here is a list of some labels that can be added / voted for so they would eventually appear on application pages: Slopware; Slop (LLM) Code; Slop-Source Software; Open-Source Slopware; Contains Slop (LLM Generated) Code.

This is the apps for Windows 11 that I would recommend to anyone who just got a PC ! The same list for macOS : Linux kernel (GUI apps only) :

I decided to expand it to include both legal and pirated means.

This guide is designed for anyone looking to take greater control of their digital life by choosing open-source solutions developed and maintained within Europe. It highlights projects that promote transparency, reduce reliance on non-European tech ecosystems, and align with Europe’s strong commitment to privacy and data protection. The goal is to support digital autonomy in Europe while uplifting the local developers and communities who build trustworthy, user-centric software.

This is going to be a list of the free tools/software that can be used mostly in any field. it's based on websites recommendations, personal experience and YouTube videos. If there's any software that you like to be added here pls inform me so we can do it together. They won't be in the alphabetical order. Together we can do it. If you find any software in the list that's not free let me know

Here are some apps you can use to make money on the internet.

Ever wondering about free great open source software to start your idea? Here's a list for you to get started. Also mentions several rarely known and newer software as well! Please note that almost none of these alternatives are 1-to-1 replacement with exact some features. Most of these software might have entirely different scope of project.

Must have

A more optimistic homage to the slopware catalog Source list, this list is designed to showcase projects, both FOSS and proprietary, which reject contributions from Generative AI LLM slop machines. The most pessimistic thing about this list is how short it is and how so many commonly used software solutions and websites are not included. I have to give it up to the following sites for providing references: https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index https://github.com/melissawm/open-source-ai-contribution-policies There are a lot more projects on this list which I didn't include because they aren't on the source website (yet). I'll be adding more entries to this site (and removing those who fold to the AI overlords) on a regular basis. I'm including references, which are all first-hand declarations from the development teams for each entry to ensure items aren't included based on hearsay or conjecture.

Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up. That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!
