Fluent Reader – to very quickly get a lot of news which I need for work
Beeper – for the 100 chat apps I need to use to stay in contact with my friends who don't use Matrix
Nheko – for the based friends who have [matrix] accounts and chats with industry professionals in my field
FluffyChat – mobile device [matrix] client
Logseq – as second brain, works better for me than Obsidian
Jameica – for online banking and accounting
K-9 Mail / Thunderbird – mail client
DecSync CC – for synchronising contacts with multiple devices through Syncthing
ActivityWatch – to track everything I do in case I forget to book time in my corporate time sheet, or if I want to know how long I played games in contrast to programming
KDE Plasma – best desktop environment boosting my productivity to about 140% of what I could do with Windows 10
Qalculate! – very fast and easy to use scientific calculator, can also do conversions like "1h50min → min" or "15€ → $"
Aegis – TOTP generator for mobile
VLC – plays everything you throw at it
mpv – plays everything you throw at it, if you installed the right codecs, and also does fancy ML-based GPU upscaling in my case
KeePassXC, KeePassDX – password managers integrated on Desktop, Laptop, Tablet and Phone
Syncthing – to automatically and seamlessly sync all my devices (Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Phone, second Laptop, Servers, …)
Firefox Developer Edition, Librewolf – browsing the web without Chromium
Chromium – for PWAs like Teams, Outlook, Discord

Now I really want to know what you do for a living.

That's classified. Let's say I need OSINT for it :p

Sounds like trading to me

[-] Helix@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Kind of IT security.

I've been on the beeper waitlist since July, how long did it take for you to get in?

[-] Helix@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

I think it was about 6-9 months.

whats the difference between the keepass forks

[-] TurboLag@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago

KeepassXC is for desktop, while DX is for Android.

[-] jackpot@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

are they ran by the same group?

[-] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Keepass is the oldest one and only for Microsoft Windows. KeePassX is a discontinued project. KeePassXC is a community fork and my choice. Not sure about KeePassXD, maybe an Android version.

Are you sure beeper is opensource?

[-] Helix@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

The client itself isn't, but their server implementation is and you could do the same with Element.
