Bored this weekend with a Linux computer on hand? There’s never a better time to test out a new piece of open source software. I have a few apps I found this week that I think are worth trying, including an image comparison tool, a note organizer, and a power profiler.<\/p>\n

These apps in this list are all useful for making connections you didn’t know were there. The commonalities between two videos, between your disparate notes, and within your PC’s power consumption are all discoverable with these choice FOSS apps.<\/p>\n

\n Identity
\n <\/h2>\n

\n Find the subtle differences in videos and images
\n <\/h3>\n

Do you ever have two similar photos or video and need to judge the unique qualities of each? Maybe you want to test the results of a file compression or conversion tool, or maybe you want to tell what photo editing methods someone used. Playing “spot the difference” in real life can be a challenge with photos and videos in particular since it’s hard to scrub through and manipulate them at the same time.<\/p>\n

That’s why apps like Identity exist. You can give it two or three media files, and Identity will display them for the purposes of easy comparison. You can look at them in tabs or side-by-side panes. When you zoom in on one, the other zooms at the same rate. When you click and drag through one, the same happens on the other. That way, you scan for unique qualities without the need to keep track of where you are in each image.<\/p>\n
