MakeHuman is a 3D character creation software designed to simplify the creation of virtual humans through a graphical user interface. The software allows users to create realistic human characters by adjusting parameters like gender, age, height, weight, and ethnicity through slider controls. Characters can be customized with clothes, hair, poses, and materials from the built-in library and exported to 3D soft, like Blender.
I love that it has a gender slider

How are you supposed to pronounce it?
Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ (hear an audio sample)) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.
Or simply for-jay-oh

Pass: a terminal based standard unix password manager.
I have used Pass for years. Saddy I stopped using it after the Android client became unmaintained https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store/discussions/3260

I imagine it affects several parameters that you can also change separately in a CLI, allowing for a multidimensional gender scale.

I didn't know it could client for Bandcamp and Soundcloud too! That's so cool!
I use it for media.ccc.de and it's decent, except the events are not sorted by date and they don't have captions unlike the YouTube mirrors.

Also shoutout to Tubular which is the same thing, but with SponsorBlock for youtube
In my experience, PipePipe updates more frequently and works better, while also having sponsorblock

Typst: A modern typesetting system designed for easy document creation with markup inspired by Markdown but more powerful and programmable.
And it compiles crazy fast to pdf!

- Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
- No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
- Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

'Czkawka' = 'Hiccup' in Polish.
As to why he's there - iunno, ask the devs
ooooh, well that makes a bit more sense, thank you!

wrote last edited by [email protected]It's not easy, ShareX depends on NetFramework components, which Linux don't have, it don't even work well with Wine, because of this until now all intents are not very functional or even abandoned (ShareNix (early alpha), ShareXin (archived)....). It's better to use Screenshot tools for Linux, even if they all aren't so complete like ShareX. Architecture differences between Windows and Linux are very big.

This is not open source software, it's licenced under the Anti Capitalist Software Licence.
I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important
wrote last edited by [email protected]TIL about the ACS Licence. Thanks.
I thought that if the source code was available on github, it would count as open-source whatevery the licence, my bad.

GrayJay platform player. I use it for youtube only but it has many sources.
Grayjay enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms
https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/
(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))

@dogs0n It's not open source

Logseq: note-taking and knowledge management application that supports Markdown and Org-mode syntax, featuring powerful linking, block-based organization, and full local data storage for privacy
There's also SiYuan, which is more Notion-like in its functionality, but open source and uses local storage.

Is that repo not the code or does it have a (bad) license or something?

@dogs0n Yeah the license is not open source. It restricts use, modifications and distributions. I thought people in this community would know what the name of the community means.
