10 TOOLS ON GITHUB THAT FEEL ILLEGAL TO BE FREE
Bookmark every single one. Each one does something that looks like it should cost money, require a login, or get someone sued. All free.
1. https://t.co/PKb3pEQw5n
Download video or audio from YouTube and 1,800+ other sites straight to your drive, full quality, with subtitles and metadata. 171K stars and a new release every two weeks because YouTube keeps trying to break it and it keeps winning. The Unlicense, which means it's freer than free.
2. https://t.co/j7Qed5Kzq2
Every Adobe Acrobat feature, merge, split, sign, OCR, compress, redact, convert, running on your own machine so no file ever uploads anywhere. A UK dev built it in a day because he refused to pay Adobe just to sign a PDF. 78K stars, 25 million downloads. MIT.
3. https://t.co/RE1H55WHIF
A gorgeous dashboard that pulls live status from every service and app you run into one screen, the kind of control panel companies pay for. Free, self-hosted, and it makes your setup look like a NASA console. The thing that ties your whole stack together.
4. https://t.co/8gWTZZIXyM
AirDrop for every device. Send files between Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS over your own network with no account, no cloud, no size limit. Apple locked their best version inside their ecosystem. This one works on everything and costs nothing.
5. https://t.co/1RBMSQu38m
The entire Notion, rebuilt open-source and offline-first, so your notes, docs, and databases live on your machine instead of a company's server. Notion is valued at $10 billion. This does the core of it for free and never sells your data. 60K+ stars.
6. https://t.co/Qm55OR5YI1
Google Photos on hardware you own. Phone auto-backup, face recognition, AI search, shared albums, all of it, while Google stops mining your family photos to train its models. The single most satisfying thing to self-host, and people who try it never go back.
7. https://t.co/B57eBygDK6
Build unlimited professional resumes, host them, track them, all free and private, while every resume site online charges you the moment you hit download. 30K+ stars. The paywall that wastes job seekers' money, deleted.
8. https://t.co/zajmBsDn9M
OpenAI's own speech-to-text model, free to run, transcribing 99 languages at the accuracy that Otter, Rev, and Descript literally charge per minute for. The exact engine inside the paid apps, sitting on your laptop for $0. MIT.
9. https://t.co/13hzF0PW7N
Connect any app to any other app and automate entire workflows, the thing Zapier charges by the task for. Hundreds of integrations, self-hosted, running on your own server with no per-action fee. The automation tax, gone. 100K+ stars.
10. https://t.co/TyOTBGduto
Turn any website into clean, structured data an AI can read, in one call. The kind of scraping infrastructure companies sell for hundreds a month, open-sourced. Point it at a site, get back exactly what you need. The frontier devs are already building on it.
Free was always the default. Someone just had to build it.
@NicolasCassieVR Coming from someone who has never been banned, or done anything to get banned. Youre wrong. If purchased nothing should be able to be revoked, unless its a subscription. Thats an L take genuinely. Fuck the entire idea of "youll own nothing and be happy" womp womp if you disagree.
@demenishki Youve probably already heard this, but
Work on your trigger pull. The bang should be a suprise. Expect it, but dont be over prepped
And your finger placement, the trigger should be in the meat between your knuckles
Otherwise thats a damn fine grouping for a pistol 9/10!
@TheImShadow@PunishedRobo@cipher4109 Every AI-tard uses the same argument. "If it cures cancer..." Yeah, but my ram prices skyrocketed to create a video of giant sushi. The end does not justify the means right now. People have a valid reason to complain. Cancer curing ai, pretty cool. Ai that majes vids, not cool.

@ErikaTheCatgirl And before anyone tries to say it, I'd say the same shit to literally anyone. Everyone receives consequences for all of their actions.
@ErikaTheCatgirl Don't get me wrong, defend yourself. However "death before detransition" sound like a threat without the context of "trans person goes to ___ and kills x amount of kids/people". Just please before posting think how your words would sound in the opposite sense
