Interested in #FOSS but haven't taken the time to explore it? Or familiar but wanting to dive deeper? Have no idea what that is, but are interested in decreasing your reliance on evil corporations?

If any of the above, check out the #30DayFOSSChallenge. In April I will be posting all about it, and encouraging others to join me. Hope you come along for the journey.

@nix I read your post about this, and I have a suggestion...

Mention, and link to, @alternativeto's website. It's a great resource for finding applications, especially as you can search for a proprietary app you're currently using, and then see FOSS alternatives you can try instead.

Funnily enough, the 2023 version of the webpage did exactly that! I removed it this year because that site doesn't mention exclusively FOSS stuff, and I thought that could be confusing. But I might reconsider, because it is a great resource.
