OpenClaw's rapid adoption signals a shift beyond AI agents as novelties. The project demonstrates how coding assistants may lower technical barriers to self-hosting alternatives to paid SaaS tools. Early analysis suggests a $400 mini PC setup could replace common subscriptions totaling $900 annually, though setup complexity remains a factor for non-technical users.

Good morning Fedi! I'm working on #degoogleing my life right now and moving to open source or privacy focused alternatives from not evil corporations. I think I've got most of the basics covered on a personal level, although more suggestions are welcome!
I'm (re)starting my #virtualassistant business from scratch, and I'm looking for open source tools to use and recommend to my clients. Is #BillionaireFreeBusiness a thing? My goal is to run my business 100% Google/Amazon/billionaire free, including servers. Unfortunately, I'm not able to self-host, and neither can a large portion of my potential client base.
I stumbled upon Odoo and it seemed like a dream come true... all in one open source with free then *very* reasonable (actually mind blowing) plans. But they use Google and Amazon (legacy) servers, although another company is listed first, I'm assuming that one's managing most of the European servers. And also Google analytics and a few other tools/integrations. Does anyone have suggestions for something similar that's #googlefree ?
What other #opensourcebusinesstools are you using? Particularly #CRM / #ERP type tools. And/ or individual tools for things like newsletters, Calendly and Drive alternatives (specifically for real-time file collaboration and storage), zoom alternatives, etc. Things that are user-friendly. Bonus points for eco friendly options!
TIA for any recomendations!

So I recently found out about #zettlr. I adore #obsidian, but if you can get #foss that is just as good, that's always appreciated. Does anybody have any experience with #obsidian and #zettlr? How do they compare? I'm curious to give it a shot...

So I recently came across #VSCodium, a cleaner version of #VSCode built directly from source and minus the #Microsoft telemetry shit.

Tried it out and might be placebo but Codium seems snappier than Code.

Here’s the link in case you wanna switch too:
