- Commented on BrowserOS
While I appreciate the open source and local approach remember that LLM can easily being hijack, poisoined and attack from hidden texts. AI browser are not a great idea in my opinion. We will see how it goes in the future!
- Reviewed PrismLauncher Cracked
The project is often months late in following PRISM updates and doesn't do much, if you really need to circumvent the online account limitation download the official PRISM Launcher and follow this guide: https://rentry.co/Prism4Free
Commented on ChatGPT AtlasA proprietary web browser in 2025... what a distopic world.
Reviewed GameHub (PC games on Android)Ask unnecessary permissions for your device, is doing way more telemetry than needed! Use with caution, I would suggest trying GameNative first and if it doesn't fit your need take a look at the modded GameHub Lite that removes the unnecessary permissions and limit telemetry.
Commented on GameHub LiteWhile GameHub Lite mod is open source the original unmodded app isn't so it is NOT 100% FOSS. It's an open source mod to patch the closed source sketchy app.
- Commented on Alternative to Re-Getting Games Again
You should take a look at Kazeta it's a really unique Linux distro designed specificaly to make gaming simple like in the 90s
- Commented on PDF Converters
Take a look at PDF24 Tools , iLovePDF , PDFgear and PDF-XChange Editor . These are also really capable PDF tools!
- Commented on Bypass Censorship
You should take a look at i2p, NYM and InviZible Pro
GB Studio can be a good fit honestly
- Reviewed Lumo by Proton
Great mascot I love it's design. However marketing it as Open Source is misleading as only the clients are. Especially how they started with words like "Unlike other AI assistants, my code is fully open source, so anyone can verify that it’s private and secure — and that we never use your data to train the model.".
But that's not my main issue with it. The thing that bug me really hard is how closed it really is, it uses several models ("Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3")...

Commented on SudachiWas an awesome solo-dev fork of Yuzu, unfortunately it is discontinued. Its development had stopped another time but continued after a break, maybe it will be the same again. The dev behind it recommend to use Eden now.
Commented on RapidRAWThis looks like a promising FOSS alternative to Adobe Lightroom, I'll keep an eye on the project and probably support the dev financially or with translation contribution as the UI looks more intuitive than RAWTherapee or darktable
- Commented on Keeping A Private Chat Session...Private
You could add multiple great private solution such as the FOSS Jitsi Meet and its fork Infomaniak kMeet , the solution from cisco Cisco Webex and a few I have never used such as Jami , Whereby or Mirotalk
Commented on Perplexity CometI would never use a Web Browser made by an AI company! Why? Because these company wants every little bit of information possible and my web browsing doesn't need to be tracked by them.
Commented on Adamant MessengerWhy the F do I need a blockchain to send messages ? Even if it's encrypted the main purpose of blockchain is immutable information distributed freely in an open network of peers... This doesn't sounds good to me at all.
Reviewed Microsoft TeamsIs that an Anti-Productivity tool?
Seriously UX is a disaster and the app is globally infuriating to use. If it was my company I would not even consider this as an option to work with... Oh and Microsoft Office Suite is a privacy nightmare too
Reviewed Video Summarizer AppUsed to be great, now it's almost impossible to summarize one video without buying credits
- Reviewed CapCut
By using CapCut you agree that Bytedance (TikTok) sell your face, voice, and likeness in ads, AI training, or even sell that footage to others!
I wouldn't touch it, if you really need a mobile editing software use : LightCut
If you need a WebEditor use Mastershot
If you are serious about video editing simply learn DaVinci Resolve
