I have looked for something similar. There are a number of spaces where FOSS project lists are maintained, but they are often focused on a singular topics like ‘privacy’ or something akin, and they aren’t often parts of larger lists that can be sorted based on the conditions you mentioned above.

The closest thing, if you are interested in other possible tools that might help: Alternative.to, a crowdsourced software searching tool, which has a means of filtering to show only, say, open source projects, or sort by tags that denote stacks used, languages used, etc. (see screenshot of tags I added). It has been useful enough for my own needs when looking for what you’ve been looking for.

Either way, best of luck! I haven’t been able to find something yet, myself.

Less of an axis and more of general left-center-right, all with regards to which news outlets tend to lean one way in tone and language choice vs. another. You can select summaries of each bias to understand those choices in the app. It also helps break down a few other items of note:

While this may be beyond the scope of your efforts, it does do some solid highlighting of news sources for me.

There are a few Ground.news bots floating around Lemmy – or at least there used to be – that would comment on posts to provide some or all of the above.

Although this is getting some downvotes – likely because of the ‘AI’ and ‘bot’ nature of it – I can image the benefits of running this on your own personal Lemmy instance, leveraging it as a sort of RSS skimmer to determine which article were worth diving into or not.

In the roadmap of this project, there looks to be a political alignment feature, which is the big benefit of services like Ground.news and why I subscribe to it as a news service. As well: a feature to summarize a day, week, a month, etc., of news, which may well have the ability to be topical.

I try to bring as much of my reading into an RSS app as possible, rather than leverage algos on social to spoonfeed it to me. And while I love Mastodon, I also have to do a lot of scrolling and manual visiting of profiles to catch up. The same applies to Lemmy.

This may well be a tooling to make the kind of RSS experience I have been wanting, so kudos to the author.

As another consideration, this guy’s app is also available on F-droid, which means you can avoid updates via Play Store

Ooh, neat! This feels like Folding@Home for AI tasks.

Well, not closed source anymore. Looks like, in an effort to align with ‘switch’ day that’s been happening on Mastodon, the source code is now open to the public as of an hour ago:

May be a good opportunity for folks to support his efforts to craft stronger user experiences. I know, from dansup’s posting, that he is 100% on-board for others to help.

There’s an internal age we feel personally, there’s an external age we present as – and then there’s an age that can brought out of us, based solely on circumstances.

In the case of all three, for the sake of this idea gaining some traction with most folks reading, I might re-label ‘age’ as ‘identity’, or even some kind of part of ourselves, coming to the forefront out of necessity. This idea comes from Family Systems Theory.

When we are faced with circumstances that invite us to ‘act our age,’ such as knowing we need to get good rest for the next day, that’s the part of us that comes to the forefront to help because we have the experience to know so. That part of us is there to protect us from experiences we’ve had in the past that may have sucked, such as having to go into work after a late night on Mountain Dew and gaming. That part’s jobs may be protection, responsibility, readiness. A sense of forethought.

Likewise, when we are faced with circumstances that invite us to entertain children, such as playing pretend or being silly, that’s the part of us that we had at the forefront at that age, and we can call it up in a kind of way that doesn’t feel like ‘faking’ it. That part of us is there to continue a sort of ‘zone of play’ we all liked when were around that age, where it was fun and easy to ‘yes and’ other kids into a game with made-up rules, or do something goofy because we all felt goofy. That part’s jobs may be freedom, radical invitation, feeling wanted. An easy joy.

All parts are necessary, and the parts are neither good or bad. They are just parts of us.

Nothing ever disappears – nor should it disappear, regardless of whichever part of us is so drastically at the forefront as to convince all other parts that they aren’t important to function in life – even at 40.

Especially at 40.

There’s a handful of approaches that may be helpful for this. I don’t want to make any assumptions on what you’ve tried, yet, though. Would you mind clarifying what you’ve given a go at, so that we don’t offer something that doesn’t do what you’re looking for?

Eto … Bleh

Currently, I prefer the Kagi model as my daily driver – pay a small fee each month and not worry about having your search data, in all its forms, sold instead. They have some neat features, as well, like AI summaries and the ability to ask questions about pages. It’s those two features I have used to determine what kind of content, even musical, may be on the page for me without having to go to the page, itself, first. I can reduce page-load-waiting on my end, in other words, because I am able to make better judgement calls beyond any provided preview text / provided metadata.

There is also SearXNG, which is an open source, privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine. It can be self-hosted and also has a number of instances you can access.

I am so digging this!

Thinkpads – a laptop with a rich history of Linux use – can be bought with an integrated 4090. The ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 can be configured with an i9, plenty of flexibility for drive space and RAM, and an RTX 4090. It’ll run you, even used, around $3k to $4k, which is the equivalent of a desktop replacement. But it’ll be pretty doggone compatible with any Linux distro you’d like.

Donated! Glad you are branching out, doing something to spur you on, and working to keep yourself encouraged.

Use the user profiles feature of grapheneos to make a “social” profile and only use that to access Instagram / facebook.

You’ll want to consider isolating IG from your primary profile, to start. The above user’s suggestion hits the nail on the head.

Once the profile ks created, and you’ve installed IG, you’ll want to deselect the option in your Manage Profiles settings on GrapheneOS to ‘Allow running in the backgroud.’ This way, you can ensure the app is entirely stopped until you want it open.

Another consideration may be to turn off your Bluetooth when it’s not in use, as well: BT emits an ‘address’ of sorts that, if another IG user has enabled BT access on their IG app, may be able to detect your phone and track a conversation knowing you are in the other user’s vicinity.

Is IG on a completely different profile in GrapheneOS, or is the app installed on the primary profile where you use your other apps? GrapheneOS’s profiles completely isolate from one another.

Woohoo!

+1 for StandardNotes. It’s been a wonderful product.

Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.

Nice

Love me some Jitsi. The app, and website, make it easy to just start a secure, anonymous call with pals. No weird AI models running in the background like Teams or Zoom.
