JPEGView It’s a simple but powerful image viewer (don’t be misled by the name, it can view most any standard image formats).

It feels weird to even have an opinion on such a simple piece of software, but this is the type of tool that reminds you of what software could be like. When you open an image, you see the image. No loading time. No unnecessary toolbars. No fucking pop-ups to update the software to get the latest AI tools.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s plenty powerful. It’s got all the tools you’d expect: viewing EXIF data, cropping, rotating, brightness/color correction. It even has some more advanced tools: navigating collections of photos (including nested folders), viewing a collection as a slideshow or movie, perspective correction, batch-renaming… The impressive part is that it does all this without getting in the way of it’s job: viewing images.

Unfortunately, the project has been abandoned, though it appears to have been forked here (I haven’t actually used this version, but hopefully they haven’t changed too much).

Shove-it, an ancient Windows utility by Phord Software that shoves any half-offscreen windows back onto the monitor so that you can get to all the gadgets. Phenomenally useful. First thing I install on any new build.

On windows it’s grepWin - it is an excellent utility implementation.

On Android, it’s probably a little utility software called Quick Cursor (it’s not FOSS). It’s incredibly convenient being able to spawn a cursor on your phone from thin air that you can use to reach the “unreachable” portions of your screen, especially if you are holding your phone with one hand. Besides being a “phone touchpad” it has a bunch of ways of triggering actions/shortcuts, for example: volume or brightness control, launching app (I use it for launching a floating calculator, notes…), opening notification shade, copying text (it can copy any text that is under the cursor, even if it’s not selecteable)…

It’s not that I couldn’t go without it, but it changed the way I use my phone and it would feel really weird without it. It feels like it should be a part of the OS.

Used this for all of 10 seconds and fell in love.

wow this will legitimately improve my life daily, thanks for sharing

That may be the single most intuitive, and intuitively useful, app I have used in years.

Wow, instant default install.

Python, Jupyter, Freetube

GingeyBook ,

We used Jupyter Notebook in school, we’d have assignments where each again was broken out by block and then we’d have to solve it. I don’t see much of a use outside of an education setting

What is your use from it?

Danitos ,

Jupyter is great for data analysis.

Unfortunately, Excel. It’s the lingua franca of the business world. Absolute shyte program.

I’m bored so I’m just going to make a list:

  • Lightroom Classic (I’ve tried Darktable, just not for me. I take a lot of photos on my DSLR and I’ve been using Lightroom since 2015 so for me it’s worth eating the awful monthly subscription that I split with someone else.)
  • Anki (flashcard app, very popular among med school students and folks trying to learn new languages. Open source and tons of useful decks available. I’ve aced plenty of exams thanks to Anki.)
  • Bitwarden (finally caved and got a password manager-- could not be happier)
  • CHIRP (the best for programming handheld, mobile and base station radios)
  • CrystalDiskInfo (great for checking the health of SSDs and HDDs)
  • DaVinci Resolve (love using this for video editing-- pirated copy was easy to find)
  • Deluge (great for torrenting)
  • foobar2000 (I love it for music)
  • Greenshot (useful screencapture software)
  • inSSIDer (great for wifi analysis)
  • IrfanView (very good for photo management)
  • MusicBrainz Picard (amaaaaaaaaazing god tier music management software to get all the correct metadata/album art)
  • reWASD ($7 but it’s so good for no BS macro’ing of keyboard/mouse/gamepad shortcuts and profiles. I have two PCs and two mice + gamepad attached to my PC and this software is very helpful. I think the license is for life.)
  • WizTree (SSD/HDD visualization tool that is useful for figuring out what’s taking up too much space on your drive)

Emacs, of course!!!

I can not imagine trying to get stuff done without it.

It makes organizing, programming, writing, just everything so much easier.

KDE. Been using it since v3, tried various other systems like Gnome, Enlightenment, XFCE etc. and I’ve always been coming back to it. KDE just feels very intuitive and easy to use.

I’ve gotten very used to this little free app called Audio Switcher that makes it way easier to switch back and forth between speakers and my headphones.

This is going to be very handy, thanks for the rec

Browser, I guess? Without one you’d be back to early 1990s home computing.

Advanced renamer.
