Welcome to libre
A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
Resources
- Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
- Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in
$CURRENT_YEAR
, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Rules
- Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
- Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
- Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
- All site-wide rules still apply
Artwork
- Xenia was meant to be an alternative to Tux and was created (licensed under CC0) by Alan Mackey in 1996.

For a filemanager try out nnn it takes a bit of getting used to but it's very elegant and has a lot of clever little quality of life features. I use pulsemixer for volume and ncmpcpp + mpd for music. I like this cli calculator. It works basically as you'd expect and you can use
.
to mean "result of last calculation".I guess I'll also plug my calendar program lol:
I wrote this calendar over the last few years. Pressing
enter
on a day allows you to write a note/journal entry for that day, which can be previewed quickly in the calendar. You can also add keywords like "appointment" which, if they exist in a note, will change the color used to display that day:I've added various other features over the years like a help menu (press
?
) and mouse support. There's only a few minor things left I have planned so it's mostly a "finished" project which is nice.NNN seems to work pretty well.
That calender app looks really nice! I was looking for something like that.
