A lot of people tend to say that they must use this or that proprietary software. But I have enough experience with GNU / Linux and Free Software that those claims make little sense to me. It is just finding what to use often appears to be hard.
There are lists of Free Software such as the
Free Software Directory. Which is good in general to search through. There are websites like
AlternativeTo which lets you look for alternatives, but has two major downsides: 1.) It lists proprietary alternatives too; and 2) It lists alternatives, based on the fact that people find those programs be an alternative.
For example, somebody might have been looking for an alternative to Adobe Acrobat, the PDF reader. An alternative might be
Evince or something. But you could also use Firefox. It has a builtin PDF reader. Or you could use GIMP ( the image editor ) because it can import PDF files and convert them into images. Those websites usually fail to find those connections. So I wanted to make one where the alternatives are measured in functional similarity. Not by UI design, or the developer's goals. Which in theory should find more solutions to people who are just looking to do one simple job, that their proprietary program is capable of, and that they do now know has an alternative. Because nobody associated one with another.
The algorithm I came up with does recommend Gimp and Krita when searching Photoshop. But it also recommends FreeCAD when searching Adobe Illustrator. Because both apparently can edit SVG files.

The passing of
Gene Hackman made me interested in the actor again, and then I saw that he made a movie with
Tony Scott, from
Jerry Bruckheimer about surveillance. Recent fascination of mine with
Michael Bay and stuff related to him, like the fact that a lot of the style of Bay came almost directly from Tony Scott. And the fact that Bay worked with Bruckheimer in the time this movie was released. And the fact that the star of
Bad Boys Will Smith is the star of
Enemy of the State. All of that made it inevitable that I should check the movie out.
