      isn't this dead?

      personally i quite like the ui improvements of audacity, and since the telemetry is opt-in on first launch i don't really have any other problems with it either.

        KDE Connect: An app for iOS, android, pretty much every flavor of linux, windows, etc. that lets you connect any devices together to share files, show notifications of other devices, use your phone as an input device(keyboard, mouse), control multimedia applications(start, play, stop, etc.), trigger commands, and everything else if you make a plugin for it.

                zoxide: A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

                This is such a handy tool, and the database can be queried for other tools too. Like project switchers or fzf for example.

                  wezterm: A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

                  This is my favorite terminal emulator and very configurable with lua.

                    LocalSend should be called God Send because it'll save your life. It's AirDrop, but for everything and open source. Works really well, no setup, no server.

                    Unfortunately, its not reliable. For large media files it gets stuck. Also, sometimes the local server is not discoverable on the other end. Even though I tried the troubleshooting step.

                    I had tested with windows and android so it could be different on Linux.

                      I think android HealthConnect doesn't get enough notice as it is a kind of silent background service.

                      It is local, opt-in, and privacy respecting connection API for sharing data between fitness apps with fine control over what gets shared where. You can have the shittiest privacy-violating fitness app and it can't just steal all of the data from your smartwatch or whatever because you connect the two apps via a stupid cloud integration.

                          No, it works on other setups too! I have used the regular kde connect app with enlightenment DE for example.

                              Sounds nice, for which services do you use it?

                              I've had mixed experiences with Invidious but haven't tried that for some time.

                              Not original comment but I use it to not directly go to Twitter, Reddit, and sometimes YouTube (ReVanced or FreeTube for me). They have a shit ton of services that can be redirected, although you have to worry about the proxies that are dead (Instagram, Tiktok). Even then, you can use it to avoid directly visiting the real site if you miss-clicked.

                                  Reading that readme was nuts. Others can start downloading your upload before you finish uploading as well, which probably makes for some novel real-time use cases.

                                          The craziest thing I discovered when I started using it was when I noticed that because my desktop was now connected to my phone and my phone was connected to my watch, I could completely control the media on both from my watch and the integration felt natural - but also something I haven't seen work that well in the proprietary world.
