A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I first saw this on reddit, but I figured it would be good to make sure that this also stays accessible on another platform

This list feel a little dated. On the top of my head I'd add "Visual Studio Code" for programming, Cakewalk for music composition, and Davinci Resolve for video editing.

Extremely dated. It looks like the list of software someone might have recommended back before I started using Reddit a decade ago.

And Visio and OneNote aren't free. Draw.io and Xournalpp would be potential alternatives.

OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.

Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn't cost money. It certainly isn't "free" as in "freedom", but it's incredibly handy.

Also, I'd add Bitwarden to password managers

Edit: And AFAIK Eraser should not be used on modern SSDs

You could use it to shred individual files, but to wipe a disk there are better ways. Generally you would use an ata command or wipe the encryption key if it's encrypted.

Alright so not just me, it's useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.

AIMP for all your music needs.

There's even a mobile version.
