Not to disparage your effort, but I looked into music and I only see:
Audio & Music
Audacity Audire Audile
Aaaand I’m out.
This is so lopsided it should be titled “A random collection of free software that has caught my eye”

I’ll gladly pay a premium for something that will be “buy it for life” or at least last decades. Phones and computers have inherent obsolescence, but most tools don’t. I don’t buy chinesium tools, I buy reputed European, American, or Japanese tools, the lifetime stuff.
Don’t get me started on OneDrive
Is seeding anonymous?
Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I’m a pretty happy camper.
When I query an AI I always end with “provide sources and bibliography for your reply”. That seems to get better replies.
Also, I seem to remeber that the Affinity CEO made those statements, but Canva are calling the shots now, so…
I don’t think so. Unless I’m mistaken, your lifetime license is for major versions, so when 3.0 comes around, you will still be able to use 2.x.x, but not upgrade for free. They have been offering pretty good upgrade prices, though. We’ll see what happens.
Yes. They’ve made positivw noises about pricing, etc, but pretty much everybody in the community fears changes for the worse
Yes, This. An unmarked huge truck with a massive ladder a big control panel full of dials and stuff, and big-ass hoses everywhere, driven or surrounded by big dudes in red or yellow fireproof jackets, with those cool helmets with the visor backwards, could be confused with a UPS van.
I’m fine with (reasonably priced) paid software, that’s why I use Affinity; it pretty much hits the sweet spot between affordability and capability. If there is a free software program that does what I need, I’ll gladly use it, but I don’t demand it, plus you really can’t make FOSS developers develop what you need or want, while with paid software you have some leverage.
I believe at some point they said the may explore additional models, like offering both pay once and subscription at the same time. We can hope
Not was. Is.
What scares me shitless is that this could happen to the Affinity suite, which they bought recently. Affinity is the main pro level alternative to some Adobe products, and is very affordable in a pay once model instead of subscription.
If this is OK, downloading a movie to watch it, not to make any profit, is OK, right? If it isn’t, will they get fined proportionally to the people who get fined for downloading a movie?
I was a redditor pre Eternal September. That was the beginning of the end for old reddit.
Vorwerk Kobolds are great. Find a used one. I have a 20 year old one. I took it apart an was pleasantly surprised at the quality and design. Vorwerk makes the Thermomix, so you know they are quality stuff. I’m also a Miele fan. In my old house my entire kitchen was Miele. Never a problem, not one in years. Pricy, yes. Worth it definitely.
Dysons have planned obsolescence, their plastics are shit, and they are overly loud on purpose, so that people have the impression they are powerful.
How about Music players, Sequencers, studio, DJ, Drum machines, Guitar software amps, software radios…
The fact that you simply ignored music players disqualifies your list. Also considering that Arch’s AUR, for example has over 90.000 packages, the idea of one person compiling a useful general “best of” list is deluded and doomed from the start.
I don’t write this acrimoniously, I simply state the fact that unless you enlist help (and a lot at that) your endeavor is useless.
