Some non techie users might not think to do that since they received what appears a legitimate email from Venmo.

Why use Office 365 when you can use Office locally (assuming you need/want to use Office)?

I understand not everybody likes PHP, some prefer python, java, go. PHP is my go to language for tinkering on my personal projects. Also, I don't need to run an instance per each little desktop application. I can run one instance and &

Exactly. It's like KeePassXC. It's a local app but the syncing of your password file is on you. You can choose to sync it however you want. You can choose to use Dropbox/Google Drive/etc or choose not to sync at all. The

Different use cases for different people. When I do real web surfing, its usually on the computer. When I'm on my phone, its light surfing (finding a restaurant address, etc). Also, if you really want it sync between two computers, you

I only mentioned dropbox if I wanted to sync my database on multiple computers. I don't need to, so I don't need dropbox.

This is on the assumption I want to host it online. I don't want the task to maintain a web server and pay for its cost. I just want to be able to it use it locally. I want to be able to send it to a family/friend and they can run

Thats why I decided to build my own. My bookmark manager is 100% local. It even caches pages I bookmark using chrome headless. The data is stored in a sqlite file which I can sync using Dropbox, Syncthing, etc if I use multiple computers.

If you're like me and you're tired of the noise in google search, host it yourself. This way you can decide the layout, remove the ads, cluster and see the organic results.

Close, but without centralization, I can't imagine non-techies would use this.

I’ve never heard of them but they seem like a good non-profit. I was more interested if there were more non-profits that had websites/web service consumers used. Their website more company landing site (but they are non profit).

Does openstreetmap actually actually have a website I can use as a consumer? I thought they provide map data for others to use?

by samemail88 4y ago
I would agree internet archive is one as they have a consumer facing website/business.

When I think of a social network, I think more Facebook and less Twitter. I want something similar to Facebook where I can view friends photos, see their profile/wall and join various forums/groups. Twitter/Mastodon is more a

Whatsapp was succeeding and profitable (though peanuts in profit compared to now) with charging a dollar. Thats why if a non-profit was managing it, its goal wouldn’t be to maximize profit but to provide quality service to its users.

But mastodon is more like twitter and less like facebook. I don't everything I post to be public, I just want my friends to be able to see it.

- A non-profit that provides a social network without ads/tracking. Similar to what facebook was like (profile+direct messaging+photos+groups/forums) before they expanded into all markets. Charge a fee of $1-2 a year to keep spam
