duckduckgo-locales VS Fathom Analytics

A few years ago, I was suprised to discover that lots of people actually do hate VLC at this most wonderful time of year. Only two of the top 10 search results are broadly positive about this feature: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=vlc+santa+hat+&ia=web

And in a VideoLAN forum thread, at least one user were willing to recompile the source in order to remove the objectionable icon (presumably before it became a configurable option in the application settings): https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=53998

>> Do you think one could find a software that downloads something nonfree in the FSF Free Software Directory? I do not expect that.

> Typically, Firefox with the non-free extensions.

It's not there: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fdirect...

> but I don't believe the fsf-approved distro criteria help a lot, they are so impractical

They are, but it's by design. You are not supposed to follow them as an ordinary user. They were created in order to show the one true freedom as it should exist.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by think piece but you can see negative stories everywhere. The following pulled from current news on remote work: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=remote+work&atb=v379-1&iar=news&ia...

As an option, Dettol pine oil cleaner is still available https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dettol+pine+oil&ia=web

I wanted to say thank you, searching for that phrase[1] produced a ton of fascinating reading, including https://mpese.com/publication/uds_fuzzing/SAE_UDS_Paper.pdf "Comparing Open-Source UDS Implementations Through Fuzz Testing" from Apr 2024 which itself linked to a lot of GH repos of the tools they used

I didn't find the Ford one specifically, but I also didn't go surfing through the many pages of results

4. Fathom Analytics

Fathom Analytics (paid)

A few apps that are a joy to use:

https://ia.net/writer for writing.

https://usecontrast.com/ for checking contrast.

https://sipapp.io/ for picking colors.

https://nova.app/ for editing code.

https://cleanshot.com/ for screenshots.

https://getpixelsnap.com/ for measuring elements on screen.

https://netnewswire.com/ for reading things via RSS.

https://panic.com/transmit/ for file transfers.

https://usefathom.com/ for web analytics.

https://balsamiq.com/ for wireframes.

What else?

There are many good, lightweight, and open-source alternatives to Google Analytics, such as Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, Simple Analytics, and so on. Many of these options are open-source, and can be self-hosted.

Yes, you should absolutely not be using Google Analytics. They don't need more data, your users don't want to see cookie banners and most of you really don't need 99% of the data that you can filter through...

I can't recommend Fathom (https://usefathom.com) enough. They have a huge focus on privacy-first tracking. You don't need to show a cookie banner and you can still track events etc.

If you want $10 credit for signing up, use https://usefathom.com/james but otherwise, https://usefathom.com

Seriously, Google Analytics sucks. Use anything other than that.

Example: https://usefathom.com/ and june.so

We've got inspired by https://usefathom.com/ and https://plausible.io/ - plus there is some negative sentiment with *some* smaller players about DocuSign
