The goal here is to emulate a claymation process but digitally.

 

Made this night ocean waves render last night using this tutorial.

You could always use something like Bookstack for a wiki.

Regardless of the difference between declination and softening (keep in mind it’s difficult to show when people stop using a platform as most don’t delete their account), the mass advertising campaign of theirs definitely worked incredibly well

Also, I feel like it’s something people probably don’t wanna talk about, but a lot of Reddit’s appeal is in NSFW content - so a NSFW instance would also likely increase users.

I feel like I good advertising campaign could do wonders. Reddit’s userbase was beginning to decline around a year ago (if I’m remembering correctly) and so they had this massive marketing campaign with a focus on how there’s a community for everything and, then, they had a massive increase in users.

People are not happy at DDG filtering their web results as they feel they should be able to decide for themselves what is fake news and what is real.

That being said, their results are not the best. I would probably recommend MetaGer.

I know Mojeek have their own database of pages that are not taken from Google or Bing or anywhere else.

So, I assume there’s not an Electron alternative that is able to port internet desktop applications without any privacy or resource issues?

Ahhh, perfect; thank-you.

EDIT: Conversation here.

This is a relatively old story now, but I thought I would post about it, as I haven't seen anyone else do the same on this community.

For those that don't know, DuckDuckGo's CEO & founder Gabriel Weinberg posted the following on his Twitter:

Would love to know the community’s thoughts. Personally, I don't think this is a big deal - all search engines have to favour certain results over others... it's the intrinsic state of a search engine - although I know some people are rather upset.

[–] cooper@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 years ago

Ahhh, I see; so, essentially, a combination of both resources and privacy.

 

I often see people talking about the fact that they like a certain open-source application, but 'it's a shame it's on Electron'; what does this mean? Is it a privacy thing or a resource thing?

[–] cooper@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago (1 children)

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank-you very much.

EDIT: found one - Goodtime (thanks user)

Forest is an Android and iOS app (and web addon) that lets you track the amount of time you have spent studying.

I just it to track how much time I've spent studying from month-to-month and from subject-to-subject (through using tags). I don't know that there is an open-source alternative but if there is, that would be amazing. I am about to be finished with college for the summer and so will have time to potentially develop an app if there isn't already one.

Requirements:

  • timer option
  • countdown option
  • tags (for specific subjects or activities)
  • statistics page with weekly, monthly, and annual views

Nice Features to Have:

  • study together option
  • number of people currently studying
 

Medito is a completely free and open-source meditation app for both android and iOS. I am not associated with it in anyway but have been using it for the past few months and absolutely love it! There are so many guided recordings, there's a timer feature, there are background white noise options, etc.
