📰 BleachBit’s new TUI lets you clean without a desktop environment

Open-source cleaning tool BleachBit has gained a text-based user interface (TUI) as an optional alternative to its standard graphical frontend. Unlike BleachBit’s existing CLI, which is intended for non-interactive use in scripts, the TUI is fully interactive, you navigate the interface with your keyboard (there’s limited mouse support) to select, preview and clean out cruft.

📰 LocalSend puts your sneakernet out of business

FOSS It happens all the time. You have a file on one of your devices and you need to have it on another one. You could put the file on a USB flash drive and walk it over (the so-called sneakernet), you could email it to yourself, or you could try to set up some kind of network resource. LocalSend, a free open source tool, makes the process of sharing files on a LAN easier than anything else and it works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and...

📰 Canonical share Ubuntu 26.04 concept build for CIX P1 devices

Canonical has shared a new Ubuntu Concept image for the CIX P1, an Armv9 SoC powering single-board computers like the Radxa Orion O6 and Orange Pi 6 Plus. The image is based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and ships with a Linux 7.0 kernel from CIX’s open-source GitHub tree using only open-source drivers. A set of patches sits on top of the mainline kernel, but the goal is for them to be upstreamed too.

📰 I found a free, open-source Figma alternative — and kept finding reasons not to go back

I've never really had any particular gripes with Figma, it's probably the best design tool on the market. I have it open most days and most of my coursework and personal projects live in it. But I always go poking around for an open-source equivalent for whatever tool I'm using. There's Penpot, which is practically a mirror of Figma, it's my top open-source Figma alternative recommendation. However, it's still paywalled. I recently came across...

📰 I quit using Adobe Firefly for a free open-source alternative

The controversies around image and video generation are hard to ignore; whether training data was scraped without consent, or artists are getting compensated, or whether the outputs are doing something genuinely new or just laundering someone else's style. Adobe Firefly was the one that felt the least icky since it's trained on licensed Adobe Stock content and public domain stuff, but it's still paywalled past the free tier credits. On the other...

📰 ONLYOFFICE 9.4 brings new features – and a stricter licence

A new version of ONLYOFFICE, the open-source productivity suite, is out with a small set of improvements. The new release lands nearly two months after ONLYOFFICE suspended its eight-year Nextcloud partnership over Euro-Office, a fork by a European consortium that ONLYOFFICE says violates its AGPLv3 licence terms. Totally unrelated (yes, sarcasm), ONLYOFFICE 9.
