If you take a closer look at one of the bots and want to know, for example, who its 5 followers are, then after two clicks you will come to such a page https://activitypub.awakari.com/actor here you then follow the link under the category " following: https://activitypub.awakari.com/following " Oh I see the first 10 users, interesting isn't it? With nice links to click on and then I can browse through your profile. The 10 users are arranged numerically and alphabetically upwards and if I now go under the category "next: https://activitypub.awakari.com/following?cursoru003dhttps%3A%2F%2F15-15-15.social%2Fusers%2Fcasdeiro {ooops obviously the tenth (9:) user account on the list} click here are the next 10 in numerical/alphabetical ascending order Users and so on If you follow this a little further and browse through the followers of the listed users you might notice that there are many politically left-leaning and Democrats as well as gay communities and LGBT+ friendly accounts You're probably happy that there are so many friendly people here in the Mastoversium... but is there something ringing? Are they Christmas bells or more of an alarm? "https://activitypub.awakari.com/actor (the starting page of this 'search-machine')" There are two references given above "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" and "https://w3id.org/security/v1" on their Pages in turn contain information about apparently alive people. Do they know that? And are they committed to what is happening? And if they really allow Awakari to do this, will they watch closely what is happening? Maybe you'll take a closer look now and tell me what you think about it. So far I'm still missing the transparency on the part of Aktivaitypup and Mastodon why awakari/akurilov in moments of relative silence namely, on Thanksgiving appears suddenly at the door with an expanding fleet .
Are we worthy of a decent answer?
If you know more please reply.
I will dig deeper on.

#infosec @ccc #UNIX #Linux #Foss #FLOSS #fediverse #mastodon

what is going on #activitypup ? can anyone tell me something about it? What's up with the number of automated accounts that are using the bot software "Awakari", which is suspected of scraping, crawling, snooping, #awakari and which I couldn't find an entry for in our search mask just 24 hours ago, which is increasing every hour now .. ?
If you have an open account and don't have new followers to request, then please count on one of these "Thanksgiving guests" and let's assume that after digesting your posts, replies and following turkeys and pies they will multiply in the #Fediverse
I would be very happy to receive well-documented answers. So far I have found that the name Awakari and the unannounced approach by #Mastodon and via activitypup are causing some users considerable discomfort. So far I can't find any transparency here, what is Aktivitypup actually doing? Does anyone of you know that? and by you I don't mean the developer of this software! But you. .. .

i invite #FLOSS #tech folks who believe in an open and free internet to apply the same principle:

MY TECH & FLOSS & FREE INTERNET WILL BE INTERSECTIONAL OR THEY WILL BE BULLSHIT.

to be whining of the INCONVENIENCE of losing the IO domain is peak whiteness.

and by that i mean euros & their diasporas whose lives of comfort & wealth are a direct product of slavery, genocide, colonialism.

One percent 💰 for Free and Libre Open Source Software.

1% is a suggestion. Substitute whatever fraction makes sense for your life and position. Is that 0.025%? Great! Contribute that and use the tag with blessings.

Normalize regularly giving to support the tens of thousands of "dude in Nebraska holding up the internet" #XKCD2347 that make our computing life as rich as it is.

Use Ko-Fi, Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, PayPal, Bitcoin, ... heck even old fashioned snail mail 🐌 💌. Just make sure it's money 💰, and make it a habit.

¿Qué es el #Software_Libre?

El Software Libre es el software (es decir, programas, aplicaciones, páginas web, etc.) que respeta la libertad del usuario. Pero, ¿qué significa esto? Un usuario que utiliza Software Libre tiene la libertad de ejecutar, copiar, modificar, distribuir, estudiar y mejorar dicho software.

El software privativo como Windows, Photoshop o Google Chrome no permite que los usuarios vean su código fuente y mucho menos permite que lo modifiquen, lo que significa que un usuario de un programa privativo no tiene la libertad ya mencionada y por ende sólo puede utilizar dicho programa de la forma en que sus creadores quieren, y si el usuario no está de acuerdo o no le sirve la manera en la que el programa funciona, no lo puede modificar ni adaptar a sus necesidades. Un ejemplo de esto es Windows 10 y Windows 11, que no permiten desactivar las actualizaciones automáticas y muchas veces dichas actualizaciones se aplican en situaciones inoportunas y molestas que impiden seguir trabajando, y aunque existen trucos para desactivarlas, no existe una manera "oficial" de hacerlo y Microsoft tampoco permite realizar dichas modificaciones clandestinas.

El software que se define como "libre" requiere cumplir con las 4 libertades fundamentales definidas por la Free Software Foundation:

- Libertad 0: Puedes ejecutar el programa como quieras, por el propósito que desees.
- Libertad 1: Puedes estudiar el código fuente del programa para ver cómo funciona, y puedes modificarlo para que funcione como tú quieras.
- Libertad 2: Puedes redistribuir copias exactas del programa para apoyar a tu comunidad.
- Libertad 3: Puedes distribuir tus copias modificadas del programa para apoyar a tu comunidad.

Todo esto no significa que el Software Libre automáticamente sea "gratuito". El Software Libre permite ser distribuido de manera comercial, y no hay ninguna restricción para ganar dinero a partir de un programa libre siempre y cuando respete y defienda las 4 libertades fundamentales mencionadas anteriormente.

El que un programa sea libre tampoco significa que sea de dominio público. El Software Libre se maneja mediante el concepto de "Copyleft", que protege el crédito de los creadores del programa (es decir, nadie se lo puede "robar" ni puede reclamarlo como suyo sin tener el debido crédito), además de requerir que la distribución de copias exactas y modificadas del programa también sean libres, todo esto con el propósito de hacer la distribución de dicho software lo más transparente posible y apuntando al beneficio de la comunidad en su totalidad y no solamente de un grupo reducido de personas y/o empresas. Es decir, con el Software Libre tú eres el usuario, mientras que con el software privativo tú eres el producto.

Todo esto se puede extender (y se extiende) a áreas muchísimo más diversas. La privacidad, la ecología y el respeto al medio ambiente, la emancipación digital, la diversidad y la ética son los principales lugares en los que el Software Libre lucha en favor del usuario. El Software Libre no solamente consiste en poder ver el código fuente y ya; es de carácter ético, con lo cual sus posibilidades son infinitas, y es decisión de cada usuario sumarse al movimiento.

Late slap-dash #introduction:
Sleeper metalhead: no tattoos, visible piercings, spiked bracers, just normcore dressing and at times a dash of makeup. I live by the Seven Fundamental Tenets. #Omnivore, budding chef. Full time bad attitude project manager, part time bitch. Supporter of self-hosted #FLOSS on #RaspberryPi. Metaphorical Belgian, sitting on the fence. You already know my last toot here. Currently on a journey to build #FlashNAS.

@rrix @joeyh that's unfortunately impossible: while the code to build #Firefox is #FLOSS, they weild their trademark (logo and name) to deny distros the ability to patch the code. I wish Debian had kept distributing their IceWeasel rebrand instead of bowing to Mozilla's demands just to get the logo.

Don't forget to financially support https://servo.org/ if you can, so that they can ship a useable browser in time before Mozilla's inevitable demise.

Pues ya está disponible el nuevo pre-lanzamiento de #Ticoban, la versión 20240908.

Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde el primer pre-lanzamiento, pero desde julio he trabajado en él con más o menos intensidad, y está cada vez más cerca de su primer lanzamiento estable.

En las notas del lanzamiento podéis ver todos los cambios.

Espero que os guste. Está disponible para #linux (64 bits y ARM 64) y Windows.

#Floorp has a Fediverse presence (@floorp).
I've been reading a bit about the project, and Ablaze is apparently just a small group of enthusiasts from Japan (no surprise they chose Misskey) that built a Chrome-based browser and recently switched to Firefox as base instead (good choice!)
There has apparently been some kerfuffle recently because the main dev got pissed at uncooperative forks, but the decision to close part of the source seems to have been reversed, so Floorp is #FLOSS again (?).

Open source is the libertarianism [derogatory] of the software world. It's the adolescent, knee-jerk "don't tell me what to do" of licensing.

And just like libertarianism, it's completely co-opted by big money interests using the sentiment to entrench their own interests over the needs of real human beings.

Copyleft on the other hand is punk as fuck. Copyleft is anarchist praxis for software. Copyleft builds community. Copyleft ensures code belongs to actual human beings in perpetuity, even as it grows and evolves.

Fuck open source. Use copyleft licenses.

Update. Here's the #EuropeanCommission call for tenders on the new #OpenSource infrastructure for Open [#OpenAccess] Research Publishing.
https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:737455-2023:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0

The EC estimates it will pay €1 million for 2 years of work. Tenders are due by January 31, 2024.

#Code4OA #FLOSS #ORE #OSS

The #EuropeanCommission is finally considering whether "#OpenSource software (#OSS)…can be used as a foundation for developing the new #publishing platform" for EC-funded #OpenAccess research.
https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/cc087fd8-82b3-11ee-99ba-01aa75ed71a1/language-en

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.

#FLOSS #OpenInfrastructure

Yesterday we successfully moved to a new Mastodon instance run by some of our curators: https://fedifreu.de
It's running a friendly fork of Mastodon called #GlitchSoc which gives us many nice features including Markdown posting, polls with more than 4 options, longer toots, and more. See https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ for details.

Today we published a new version of https://switching.software with too many updates to list. Check it out for the latest alternatives to proprietary software!

what makes people think a moral or principled stance on software freedom is cringe? i received a lot of messages on line when talking about guix, that gnu is a "downside" or a tarnish on the project. people taking a radically leftist stance isn't a downside. it's what is pushing the floss movement.

Warum FLOSS? U.A. deshalb:

KI – Macht – Ungleichheit. https://media.ccc.de/v/ce4743cc-50ad-4597-bcc8-58e1a7e53c20

normalise paying for free software.

developers do not create free software if they can not afford rent or food. consider paying for the free software you value.

free of charge (gratis) is an emergent property of #FOSS / #FLOSS , not a core principle such as freedom (libre).

the #GNU project and #GPL license support developers who ask a fee for free software. (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html).

«Die Feiertage. Die ganzen IT-Abteilungen feiern mit der Familie… Die ganzen IT-Abteilungen? Nein! Eine von unbeugsamen Open-Source-Enthusiasten bevölkerte Mailingliste hört nicht auf, den Eindringlingen Widerstand zu leisten.»

Wie die Open-Source-Gemeinde über Ostern in letzter Minute eine riesige, von langer Hand vorbereitete Sicherheitslücke (#Backdoor) entschärft hat.

Version 1.2 of Toki Trainer for iOS is fully released!

A study tool for the language toki pona, version 1.2 has French localization and a better user experience that addresses user feedback.

You can download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toki-trainer/id1593960841

The community-contributed dictionary is also available in a web frontend at https://toki.maddie.info/

The web-frontend is still less feature-rich than the iOS client for now.

Please give either or both a try! I make these FOSS tools and release them for free, with no advertising or tracking.
If you’d like to support my continued work on these tools you can donate to my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/maddiefuzz

Thanks for your time, and a special thanks to those who contributed the French translations. This localization wouldn’t be possible without you.

Høres ut som en fin sveitsisk lov som vi godt kunne skaffet oss i #Norge også: Programvare utviklet med offentlige midler skal også være offentlig, dvs, fri programvare.

Og ja, lovteksten er klar nok til at det fremgår at det er etablerte OSI/FSF-kompatible lisenser som er ment.

Neue Community auf feddit.org: FOSS - Deutschsprachige Community zum Austausch über Freie Software 💻

#neuHier #Vorstellung

Da wohl wirklich nur noch wenig Hoffnung besteht für einen problemlosen Weiterbetrieb von feddit.de, gibt es für deutschsprachige Diskussionen und Nachrichten zu #FOSS -Themen nun diese neue Community auf feddit.org:
👉 feddit.org/c/foss_de

Inhaltlich kann es um Alles rund um #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #FreieSoftware gehen, was Euch interessiert - seien es bestimmte Anwendungen, neue Releases, Fragen, Tipps und Empfehlungen oder auch gesellschaftliche Initiativen wie #PublicMoneyPublicCode und vieles mehr.

Es ist eine Lemmy -Community auf #fedditOrg. Ihr könnt die Community auch von #Mastodon , #Friendica #Akkoma etc. aus abonnieren. Und ihr könnt damit auch ohne Lemmy-Account Beiträge darin erstellen, indem Ihr den Community-Account [ät][email protected] taggt. Ausführlicher hier.

Wenn Ihr auf Lemmy aktiv seid, könnt ihr Euch gerne auch noch als Co-Mods melden.

Es gibt schon lange eine sehr große und aktive englischsprachige Opensource-Community [email protected] , aber um sich zu deutschsprachigen News auszutauschen oder Fragen auf deutsch zu stellen und zu diskutieren, soll diese Community als Ergänzung dienen.

Die bisherigen Beiträge der Feddit.de-Community sind u.a. hier zu sehen.

Damit aber erst einmal: 🧡lich willkommen in der neuen Community @foss_de ! Ich bin gespannt auf Eure Beiträge.

#introduction

I'm Sumana Harihareswara, a woman in #NYC New York City. I have a consultancy https://changeset.nyc, Changeset Consulting and provide short-term project management services for #freesoftware #FLOSS #opensource projects. I'm writing a book on maintainership skills and have accidentally developed expertise in #Python packaging tools.

I'm married, a stand-up comedian & fanvidder, a frequent poster on #MetaFilter & #Dreamwidth, Indian-American. Just moved from mastodon.social!

Remember to share positive posts, memes, etc. about open source things you use and like. A simple “I like this” or “thanks for working on this” can go a long way!

Happy people carry on using things quietly while negativity gets shared, memed, and shoved in front of folks who work on your favorite projects. One negative comment too often outweighs ten positive ones, because human brains are dumb.

Spread positivity, save someone from burnout.

For everyone wanting to test out OS/1337 there's good news:

You can just clone the #git repo or pull it as #zip:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337

and then just run ./scripts/build.sh

and within a few mins it'll spit out a bootable #1440kB image in /build/0.CORE/ to put on a 3,5" FDD or run in a VM [may it be #QEMU or #VirtualBox]...

Thanks to @SweetAIBelle for the generous contributions!

#OS1337 #Linux #Development #Embedded #EmbeddedLinux #CLI #TUI #minimalist #OS #FLOSS #OSS #FOSS

Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:

That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

Granted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...

It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...

It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...

Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...

And we're open for contributions:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/blob/main/docu/ideas/architectures.tsv

Similarly, a lot of decisions are mostly done out of necessity
[i.e. #SystemD doesn't fit into 1440kB]

or due to licensing conflicts
[i.e. #grsec / #grsecurity is #paywalling access to it's sources so we won't even consider it as #FLOSS... ]
https://grsecurity.net

Also apparently grsec managed to get their #Wikipedia [article wiped](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grsecurity ) so [WaybackMachine to the rescue]( https://web.archive.org/web/20190429055854/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grsecurity )...

So yeah...
I hope that answers the question...

🚀 Annonce majeure dans le monde de l'Open Source ! Arawa se joint à BlueMind, @factorfx, Inno3 et @worteks_com pour lancer @opensource_experts (OSE), une initiative novatrice dans la communauté #OpenSource.

Update. "Women's contributions [to #OpenSource software projects] tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

Hi!
Ich habe noch kein schönes Icon für mein Profil gefunden, trotzdem schon ein paar Worte zu mir.
Ich interessiere mich für Wissenschaftskram (bedeutet in diesem Jahrzehnt: automatisch auch Klimakrise), aber auch für IT, Datenselbstbestimmung, #FLOSS und sonstige politische Themen (Armut, gesellschaftliche Ungerechtigkeiten, die Absurditäten des Kapitalismus).

Hängt im Grunde alles zusammen, von daher... wir lesen uns!
#neuhier #Introduction

Une bonne cinquantaine de personnes venues en savoir davantage sur les biais que l’on pourrait avoir en choisissant un composant #FOSS #FLOSS #libre #opensource #ethicalsource

Et les échanges qui ont suivi étaient bien chouettes !

#github #codeberg #foss #floss #freesoftware #opensource

I am a #floss enthusiast, who loves to #travel
My biggest hobby is to read #books (mainly biographies and fantasy)
I am born and raised in #netherlands #nederland
I escaped the #algorithm driven #socialmedia sites a long time ago and am now trying to find my place in the #fediverse

So, my #FLOSS todo list for the next days:
- get that #Recoll plugin for #Synapse working again
- write that script to make @qownnotes use @pandoc and @libreoffice to generate a PDF booklet
- make that #iBook G4 running again and set up an usable PIM suite using #vdirsyncer, #khal, #khard and #mutt.

If I'm somewhat recreated by that time I'm gonna restart coding on #ObjGTK. But after Christmas I'm really too exhausted to get into deep work too soon. 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Just joined fosstodon and wanted to share an #introduction. I'm a programmer and enjoy programming in #C/C++. I also like #gardening, singing (especially #publicdomain music), #writing (including #fanfic ) and #baking. I'm a #FLOSS advocate and am always searching for useful, portable, lightweight #libre #software. Am happy to share recommendations on favorite #programs and #libraries.

#introduction

🇫🇷 Étudiant, passionné de logiciels libres. J'ai créé peertube-viewer, un petit outil en ligne de commande pour naviguer les vidéos #peertube, dans le même esprit que youtube-viewer

🇬🇧 Student, passionate by #FLOSS. I created peertube-viewer, a small #CLI tool to browse peertube instances, quite similar to youtube-viewer.

The torrent for the final PDF and all the source/assets files of FLOSS+Art (2008), an edited collection of texts about Free/Libre Open Source Software (#FLOSS) and #art #music and #design , is once again seeded!

Big thanks to @[email protected] who motivated me to do so :)

Generally I recommend this video[13 min] to new GNU/Linux users.

It's because GNU/Linux is not just about better quality, powerful softwares. There are certain civility one should learn when joining our community... And this video is the beginning.

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS

Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.

The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.

It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)

PDF of the text: https://monoskop.org/images/c/cc/Mansoux_Aymeric_Abbing_Roel_Roscam_2020_Seven_Theses_on_the_Fediverse_and_the_Becoming_of_FLOSS.pdf

Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!
