What’s a piece of software that doesn’t get enough coverage?

Not sure if this is allowed: I’m in the process of scripting some videos for my YouTube channel. I began thinking, all these Linux and windows YouTubers show mostly the same software over and over. So I figured I’d go to the heart of everything: HN. What’s a piece of windows or Linux software that doesn’t get enough coverage?

The Brave browser. I often forget all those annoying access banners exist until I use another browser for testing.

"Do you want to set all the cookies? [Yes] [Go into fine-grained settings and sacrifice a goat, but no promises we won't track anyway]"

"But I was just reading to find out which cheese is better for burgers?"

That’s actually on my list already haha. Any suggestions you think would be good for the video (like customization?)

Been running my life using their software for years.

Also, they're a team in Ukraine negotiating software development in war conditions.

I’d love to! Their software costs though :/. They’d need to provide me a key even just for 30 days so I could use it and make a video about it. Thank you though!

Oh, I could have sworn they had trial periods. If not, reach out to their support or their founder Andrey. They've always been open and flexible with me.

True, OP said either though. Reckon they're a small team so I'll allow it, lol.

That’s pretty sweet! How do you use it personally? I’m gonna read up on it and test it and add it to my list! Thank you for the suggestion!

uBlock Origin a very efficient browser extension that blocks ads and more. Been using it for years and recommend it! https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

ChatGpt, I haven't heard of it much. I must be living under a rock

Lmfao weirdly enough, that’s all I hear about at work (I work in tech) is AI and chatgpt. It’s driving me bananas.
