Programmers, can you inform me why people still use github? Its owned by Microsoft, promotes AI garbage, and that alone kind of makes it shitty as a place to host open source stuff in my book. As a simple plebian, am I missing something? I don't code, so does it offer something that other platforms don't?
@blog@tante.cc
When we moved into our apartment we hired a contractor to build bespoke cupboards for a few niches that we wanted to use optimally. He built perfectly fitting, nice cupboards that make those areas look nice and clean while allowing us to store all kinds of stuff. And he took great care doing it.
Even after the job had started he kept explaining us why certain decisions we thought were smart might have been not so smart and offered solutions – often without charging extra. He wanted to build something that lasts and that makes us happy – while being fairly paid of course.
This s a privileged position: Being able to afford hiring an expert, finding one in your vicinity is not available to everyone. And not everything needs to be bespoke. Sometimes a well-thought, well-built off the shelf item is absolutely fine and a bespoke solution wouldn’t add anything but cost.
But what this extreme illustrates is the level of care that goes into building something well: The care a person takes in doing a good job but also understanding one’s work for someone else as a level of care towards that person. If you ask me to do something for you, me doing it means that I also take care of you to a certain degree. We have even codified that to a certain degree for many products where someone selling you something needs to give you warranty or other guaranties about whatever they sold you – mostly in order to try to protect people against capitalism’s tendency to make everything worse.
Software is an interesting product category in that a lot of software these days is no longer optional: It’s not a video game you can use or not but it’s the infrastructure that allows you to get paid, get government services, sign your kid up for school etc. These days we are mostly forced to use software whether we like to or not – often even software we cannot have any control over. This also means that building software should be increasingly more focused on people’s wellbeing and security: If you force people into something you need to make sure they are taken care of.
Of course we know that that’s not how things are. The quality of software we all interact with each day is perceivably worse than it used to be (we use MS 365 at work and boy is that a for of torture done to us by one of the biggest and most powerful companies in the world). Windows (and to a degree MacOs) is getting so bad that people are actively looking into running Linux. 1.0 versions of software neither mean that they work nor that they are feature complete, they are just whatever MVP compiled at the previously defined release date. You can always patch things later right? Well patches have gotten so bad that many people actively avoid installing them fearing what they might break.
It would be deeply unfair to just chalk that up to “AI” making software worse. Software was doing bad before, standards of quality being largely nonexistent. But “AI” and the promise that you can just magically create software is pouring gasoline on the fire: We are generating code way beyond our ability to ever review and ensure the security of. The developer of OpenClaw, the very hyped “AI” agent thing kept on proudly shouting on X, the everything Nazi app, that he’s constantly releasing code he never checked into the wild and into people’s personal infrastructure and data.
It’s the most visible rejection of care in software: People proudly saying how much the software they work on is “vibe coded” or “written by Claude” underlining how there is no pride in or responsibility for the work one not only put out but actually forces on people. It’s like a chef loudly stating that they didn’t even taste the menu they now want you to pay 200 EUR for. Like a doctor saying that they just describe you whatever medicine the computer tells them to without even looking at your test results. It’s a statement making clear that you do not give a shit. That you do not care.
Not every good can be produced artisanally: Furniture or clothes take a long time and skill to make, and in order to make them well you need good and expensive materials. It doesn’t scale up to the actual current need (which is way below the need that companies try to trick you into) and it’s too expensive for most people (That is a decision we as societies made when we forced people into jobs whose pay isn’t adequate to have a decent life. We could choose differently.)
But at least for software that is different. Digital goods (aside from “AI” which works differently) are characterized by 0 marginal cost meaning: Your costs don’t really go up when “producing” another copy of a software you already wrote.
This is where I see FLOSS – free and open source software – having their niche. Because in that space we can build situations and contexts where an artisanal mode of production, a mode based on care for the product and the people using it is feasible. Where not some millionaire or billionaire needs to squeeze out another few extra percent of profit every year by degrading the quality more and more.
I think FLOSS should embrace the small-scale, artisanal mindset. To build a stack of sustainable, high quality components while the rest of the world is trying to see how low the race to the bottom in software quality can go.
Writing software for people is important. It can also be fun. Especially when you get the time and (head)space to move carefully and intentionally. In that situation, software is just one way to show care for one another and act upon that display of love and respect.
We all deserve more software made with actual love for people.

Happy new year dear Fedi friends! 🎊
My first #MySoCalledSudoLife action of 2026 will be to install Monica – a #FOSS personal CRM system to keep track of friends and family (birthdays, anniversaries, last contact etc.) – on my server.
I'm shuddering thinking about how much money I spent in my life on closed, proprietary products. Like, back in 2017-2018 I paid 159 dollars A YEAR for a similar tool... now on my little server for 4 Euros a month I can host Monica, Matomo and other useful software.
I hope this is the year that self-hosting grows in popularity.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement! And I look forward to learning more new things from you :)

today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda is a funny one. it has Willie Nelson looking, wistfully off-camera and above and under him we read:
❝ i think youngsters need to start thinking about what kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards ❞
and a reminder that the #FLOSS OCR app (for android) exists:

Okay, who's got plans for when Mozilla finally folds? They are barrelling towards a brick wall and have not taken their foot off the gas.
I'm typing this on Waterfox, but I worry that the Firefox forks will wither away once Mozilla's gone.
What's everybody going to use when that happens and/or what are you using now that's non-Firefox?

Just dropped a new deep-dive on something we don’t talk about enough in Java:
- Local image similarity search.
- Zero cloud dependency.
- Real CLIP embeddings on the JVM.
- Quarkus + ONNX Runtime + pgvector.
This tutorial shows how to export CLIP, run inference locally, store vectors in PostgreSQL, and build a production-ready search API in pure Java.

Note that the #Chrome team could trivially ship the polyfill itself and nobody would have even _cared_ about the change in the way #XSLT support was implemented in browser. This would have completely solved the “security” issue due to #Google leeching on a #FLOSS libraries without giving back. The fact that they haven't shows that the security issues in the libraries are just an excuse.

@maybeanerd this is nothing new.
#Google also doesn't allow #GPL in #Android (except #Linux Kernel) to the point that they explicitly ban anyone from calling it "Android" if they did so.
That being said, if you want to monopolize your #FLOSS and make shure none of the #GAFAMs want to even look at it (but instread invest millions into building a binary-compatible, drop-in replacement) then "#AssholeLicensing" with #AGPLv3 or even #SSPL is possible and OFC you can license your work under your terms…

@tomgag@infosec.exchange
Some big news regarding mobile OSes:
First, Graphene OS has confirmed a partnership with a large OEM to bring support to non-Pixel devices (Snapdragon SoC):
https://piunikaweb.com/2025/10/13/grapheneos-ending-pixel-exclusivity-new-oem/
This is good news, but IMHO it only delays the unavoidable demise of free AOSP-based projects since Google is now finally pulling the rug.
Second, the FSF announced Librephone, an initiative to bring real freedom to mobile devices:
https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project
This is also good, but it must be taken in the right perspective: Librephone, as far as I understand it, is not a new mobile OS, but rather an initiative to open-source existing proprietary firmware blobs. AOSP-based open source OSes like Lineage, Graphene, and even /e/OS, will hopefully benefit from this initiative, by being able to replace binary blobs with open-source firmware. But they still remain AOSP-based solutions, and therefore bound to the Google ecosystem.
There are two problems here that really need to be addressed.
The first one is political. Legislators and citizens must come to acknowledge that a democratic society where the full mobile ecosystem is in the hands of a corporate duopoly is not acceptable.
The second one is technological: AOSP is not a fully free OS, it's a trojan horse, a trap set by Google years ago that is springing right now. We need to move away from Android and embrace full GNU/Linux solutions, or even something completely new, at this point I don't even care. I've heard good opinions of Postmarket OS. Any feedbacks here?
Say what you want about Richard Stallman, but he saw this coming.

I do a lot of #floss work. But I've never done any conference talks, or even visited a conference outside of Sweden (for work). Primarily for the simple reason I don't have any sponsoring or money of my own — I'm the first in my family to reach higher education, so many ppl rely on me and they will always come first.
But I wonder, considering I do a lot of #OpenSource work, should I try to get to at least one conference in my life, and maybe even give a talk on it, before I end this life?

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

In other marauding barbarian US tech company news, Slack hits up a non-profit coding club for high schoolers:
"Slack reached out to us and said that if we don’t agree to pay an extra $50k this week and $200k a year, they’ll deactivate our Slack workspace and delete all of our message history"

The ethicality of an open source project is probably visible.
One may deprecate it, replace it, if it is a corpus of data one examines and finds unethical one may fork on a different corpus.
Closed source products rather less so.
Obscurable and controllable.

@mcc #Signal is centralised and was attempted backdoored by the uks online safety bill and saved by signal threatening to walk. Simplex is open source and quantum resistant e2ee like signal and also has its secret group chats and metadata protection like Signal but SimpleX is also decentralised with ip protection, #tor support, no persistent id basically "a burner phone for every contact"
Signals centralisation also makes it more vulnerable to total censorship, all you need to do is block signals domains, being a decentralised network SimplexChat has no single point of failure to censor and anyone can run their own relay node
graphic related but #simplex was unusable when it was published

I kind of don't like the term “freeloader” here. Not all people for whom #FLOSS is made can afford a dollar.
(I'm probably a better target for that term, I could afford it, but can't stabilise my situation.)
I'd really like to have a good foundation model for that.
Ideally we'd have a foundation that would split a monthly recurring donation, accounting for project popularity, importance, the developer's situation, and Popper's Paradox as a »

I have a question for the #fedi #floss #BSD hivemind:
I have a friend who is a crusty old sysadmin frustrated with Failbook and the rest who I think would LOVE the Fediverse.
I days past I'd have recommended @fosstodon but I know they're facing capacity issues.
Can anyone recommend a good ideally UNIX (BSD, Linux?) or FLOSS oriented instance I can point him at?
He's not as much of a retrocomputing maven as I am so oldbytes isn't a good fit IMO :)
Thanks!

“The problem with having an operational stack is that not everything can be a product, and if we only want to fund products we are missing the infrastructure part. Not every #OpenSource project can have a viable business model.”
@senficon: “This is right, and exactly what the @sovtechfund is addressing. In the end, maybe not every #FLOSS product can have a business model and not everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, that doesn't mean they don't provide tremendous value to society and economy

“We should start by recognising that #OpenSource is a public good and has the same form of problems as other public goods: you need to synchronise many actors.” “Most #FLOSS projects don't have a shortage of information about what should be improved, but lack resources to implement the improvements.” — @senficon
Thanks for stating the second part: I am personally a bit tired with ideas being thrown at me of crowdsourcing a roadmap or similar. It’s a lie. Do it or pay, don’t suggest.

it’s a highly hackable lisp environment. Just stop comparing it with #vim #vscode #helix or any other text editors / IDEs
I have been saying lately, “Emacs is a text editor as much as Firefox is a JSON parser”.
I call Emacs an “app platform“.
Also, a lot of people who dislike Emacs say it doesn’t fulfill the Unix philosophy because it is one tool that does everything, rather than “a tool that does one thing and does it well.” But if you think of Emacs as a programming language or an app platform, it does do just one thing and does it well: it lets you run and develop Emacs Lisp programs. And each of those Emacs Lisp programs (Dired, Shell, Term, TextMode, ProgMode, Info, Counsel, Company, IELM, ERC, EWW, Gnus, etc.) all do just one thing and do them well..

🌟 Exciting News in Digital Freedom! 🌟
Starting next month, Denmark's Minister of Digitization, Caroline Stage, plans to phase out Microsoft and other tech giants' programs within her ministry. This bold move aims to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech companies and embrace open-source alternatives.
Half of the ministry's employees will transition to a new computer system, replacing Windows with open-source solutions. Specifically, they will adopt LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite, as an alternative to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
"I want to take the lead and try it out. When the opportunity presented itself, it would be crazy not to seize it. I am very much looking forward to seeing how it works in practice," says Minister Stage.
This initiative aligns with Denmark's broader strategy to achieve digital sovereignty and reduce dependence on large tech corporations. The goal is for the entire ministry to be free of Microsoft by the fall. However, if the transition faces significant challenges, there is flexibility to revert temporarily.
The push for digital sovereignty is gaining momentum, especially in light of current global dynamics and concerns over data protection. Political parties like the Red-Green Alliance and the Alternative have also voiced support for reducing ties with American tech giants.
Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.
So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.
I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!
Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

The MathWorks outage is the perfect time to look at GNU Octave! No license servers to deal with for FLOSS! https://octave.org/
Even if it's not helpful right now during the outage, consider it for future work to avoid stoppage the next time the MathWorks hostage server goes down.

Please Please stop the madness! Stop using Java-script for Unix/Linux tutorials !!
As an intensive Unix and Linux user, I love to use a command-line browser. As a rule, these are links, elinks or lynx for me.
So far, they have guided me to my goal at lightning speed, are resource-saving, require little bandwidth, do not distract with unnecessary bells and whistles and, above all, they work even if the X-system fails and I have to boot without a desktop !
For me, commandline or text-based browsers are part of the Linux fire brigade and are the salvation of many users in need. But it doesn't help at all if manuals, help pages and other tutorials use Java-script!
In the example below, you can see a search query in the links browser with the parameters: "Linux close all windows commandline"
Of the 10 websites shown in the search results, 7 (!) could not be displayed at all because of Javascript, 2 did not really correspond to the parameters and only one (the github page) had a corresponding readable answer.
Does that make sense?
Absolutely not!!
Therefore, an anxious request:
Dear Tutorial Content Creators, Dear OS Developers please stop using Javascript or at least provide a plain text or html option, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

The latest @gnome Foundation Board of Directors election has officially been announced, so I’ll go ahead and announce: I’m running! :)
https://cassidyjames.com/blog/elect-gnome-foundation-board-directors-2025/
If you contribute to GNOME, go make sure you’re a Foundation member so you can vote in this upcoming election. 
#GNOME #GNOMEFoundation #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS #governance
@cassidy@blaede.family
If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: https://foundation.gnome.org/membership/
Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!
The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

Dear #FLOSS people in EU and around
and communities and projects
It's time to act together!
Over the past 5 years, NGI 0 has financed and supported more than a thousand projects.
More broadly, the Next Generation Internet programme has helped even further afield, including outside the EU.
In 2024, hundreds of organisations had signed the open letter ‘The European Union must keep funding free software’ as we learned that NGI 0 would probably not be considered for renewal.
However, 1 benchmark study
https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/257ae66f-23c7-11ef-a195-01aa75ed71a1/language-en
And another report by the European Commission's Open Source Observatory
https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/news/2024-07/SC32_D04.03_Paper%20on%20progress%20and%20trends%20in%20the%20national%20open%20source%20policies%20and%20legal%20frameworks.pdf
And ‘EU consultation confirms demand: long-term funding for Free Software is needed’ https://fsfe.org/news/2024/news-20241113-01.en.html
Maybe other reports and studies show the merits of the NGI0, its effectiveness, and the need to continue this type of initiative through cascade funding with management by Consortium.
The MEPs are currently drafting and negotiating the ‘Horizon Europe's 2025 Cluster 4 Digital, Industry and Space Work’.
NGI 0 does not exist in the working documents. Simply disappeared for Horizon Europe - 2026-2027 Digital, Industry and Space
It's time to contact your MEPs and ask them to consider continuing NGI 0 or equivalent for #FLOSS
But there are worse things

Our Account Manager's analysis shows how redirecting these funds could:
✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation
XWiki, CryptPad and other open-source solutions prove alternatives exist, they just need proper funding.

In conceptual terms, this trend has become absurd without being funny.
But in practical terms, it is a major impediment to the Four Freedoms of Free Software, especially to the Zeroth Freedom: "to run the program as you wish."

Dear #FLOSS friends,
What is the best way to get help with troubleshooting a doohickey? Like, “Ubuntu” is one thing: visit the Canonical forums. If I had to get help with libfoobar or…, say, curl, something less grand but needful, where does one best beg for help?
@amszmidt@mastodon.social
@osi But will you be publishing the full results of the recent elections? Seems secrecy and total silence is much more important for the #OSI #OpenSource than publishing its recent election results which has been done since elections have been held .. is the @osi a trustworthy organization?

@osi Here is petition to the Open Source Initiative (@osi) to release the complete, unaltered results of its 2025 Board of Directors elections. By removing candidates and votes after voting concluded, OSI has damaged its credibility. This is a call for transparency as a first step toward repairing OSI's integrity and reputation.
https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025/
It would be more exciting if you published the results of the vote.

On est là à faire des ateliers d’entraide (mais seulement pour les systèmes d’exploitation libres ou pour les applications libres tournant sur des systèmes d’exploitation propriétaires) et à proposer nos propres définitions du libre entre technocrates…
Lire Guillaume Christen et Philippe Hamman, « Des inégalités d’appropriation des enjeux énergétiques territoriaux ? Analyse sociologique d’un instrument coopératif autour de l’éolien « citoyen » » :
Le cas du parc éolien visé sur la commune de S. a montré que les porteurs de projet sont intégrés au sein de réseaux techniques et militants, mais aussi experts, en matière de démarches coopératives, leur permettant de bénéficier d’outils et de savoirs spécifiques à l’opérationnalisation d’une transition énergétique présentée comme « alternative » aux grandes filières centralisées, via un modèle d’actionnariat populaire. Tout un outillage les dispose à s’approprier la partie technique, mais aussi sociale du projet, en traduisant l’éolien autour d’un dessein collectif et territorialisé. Or, la professionnalisation des référentiels éloigne ces acteurs des logiques d’usage, qui sont celles des habitants non intégrés à ce collectif. Derrière le registre d’une double alternative en développement durable – en termes de contenu : une énergie renouvelable ; et de procédure : l’appel à une participation des habitants sur un registre présenté comme citoyen –, c’est essentiellement un « club » d’actionnaires composé de personnes dotées en capitaux (social, financier, relationnel, etc.) que l’on repère, avec une dimension plus ou moins territorialisée (une implantation éolienne locale, mais des actionnaires potentiellement loin de la commune).
Tout l’article sera une lecture inspirante concernant la transition territoriale… Et donc la transition d’un quartier, ou d’une ville, aux logiciels libres.
L’un des auteurs, Philippe Hamman, est spécialisé sur le sujet des transitions énergétiques et territoriales, miam !

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

sphinx-fediverse 0.8.0 is now released. Since the previous version...
New features:
- Support for custom emoji in non-reaction content on Misskey
- Support for individual media to be marked as sensitive (mostly in Misskey)
- Support for account-wide content warnings in Misskey
- Comment parsing now done with async methods
Bug fixes:
- Corrected a typo in article reaction rendering
- More CSS changes related to word wrap
- Fixed a bug in replaceEmoji() that caused only the first paragraph of posts to be rendered
Likely next steps:
- Custom emoji in reactions
- Find a better way to sanitize Misskey posts
- Verify that Mastodon actually returns sanitized HTML (and remove the worst parts if not)
- Adapt replaceEmoji() to directly produce DOM elements instead of relying on the parser
Special thanks to @hazelnoot@enby.life for pushing me to rewrite the render code

sphinx-fediverse 0.7.0 is now released. Since the previous version...
New features:
- Improved rendering security! It no longer relies on a massive HTML template. Still some progress to make
- Support for unicode emoji reactions on Misskey instances
- If a comment is too wide for the page, it will now split the username, so: @LivInTheLookingGlass@transfem.social will become @LivInTheLookingGlass\n@transfem.social
- Increased use of the comment parser to avoid ambiguities
- Comment posts will now include the title of the article and, if on Misskey, put the link on that text
- Misskey now supports the following parts of MFM:
- anything in standard Markdown
- mentions
- hashtags
- <small>
- <center>
- <i>
- <plain>
Bug fixes:
- Bumped the version of an insecure dependency
Extra shout-out to the people who "bullied" me into fixing the render code. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better now. Figuring out a better way to
1. sanitize MFM input
2. adapt replaceEmoji() to work with DOM elements
3. get custom emoji working for Misskey instances
are probably the last real blockers before a 1.0 release. There's a few more Misskey-related things that would be nice, but it's mostly about increasing parity at that point

Manchmal ist man sooo eingefahren, an Gewohnheiten gebunden, daß man nicht merkt, wie sehr sich die (Konsum)Welt verbessert.
Durch Wechsel auf #Linux & #grapheneOS für privat habe ich feststellen dürfen, wie gut sich #FLOSS für Privatpersonen entwickelt. Jahrelang ignoriert.
Durch Verzicht auf #amazon habe ich festgestellt, daß sich #Onlineshopping und #Kundenservice bei vielen kleinen Shops maßgeblich verbessert hat, während amazon nachlässt.

Which of these issues should I tackle next? I leaning towards render support for emoji reactions (but not custom ones, because I still need to figure that out for Misskey)

sphinx-fediverse 0.6.0 is now released. Since the previous version...
New features:
- (Standard) Markdown rendering for Misskey instances (more MFM support to come later)
- Support (in parser only) for emoji-based reactions
- Support (in parser only) for sensitive images among non-sensitive images
- Dump the post-to-page mapping to _static/ for ease of debug
- Support for reply handling on Misskey instances
Bug fixes:
- Icons previously wouldn't show for posts outside the root directory
- A typo led to a duplicate icon
- Shibuya dark now produces legible icons (and this should be portable to other themes)
- the hover effect no longer renders text unreadable on Shibuya dark (again, should be portable)

And now sphinx-fediverse 0.5.3 is released. The big thing here is I've separated the rendering logic from comment parsing, so it's easier to support both flavors. Rendering is still pretty janky, but it's a good start towards the final setup.
Next on the list:
- *key media attachments
- better rendering code
#Python #SphinxDoc #FOSS #FLOSS #OSS #FediBridge #Mastodon #Misskey #Sharkey
@LivInTheLookingGlass@transfem.social · Reply to Olivia A-C's post
And with that, sphinx-fediverse 0.5.2 is released with initial support for running on Misskey/*key instances.
Known bugs:
- Misskey instances cannot yet load custom emoji or media attachments
- CSS for Shibuya theme on Chrome seems to have some minor problems, specifically with the hover effect
Breaking changes:
- the comment directive is now fedi-comments rather than mastodon-comments
- some config values have had their name changed
- you are now required to specify what flavor of fediverse instance you're hosting on

I randomly came across this short, very well-produced little explainer of open source and I really like it! It makes me want to have all the time and resources in the world to produce stuff like this… that’s also openly licensed itself.

TL;DR: FLOSS space. Engineers welcome.
Others: Not a coder? Scram!
Well, there are different people who make the machinery of software work, they may be good at that but we need other people like non-coders to do the UX design.
Reason companies like apple worked is because the designers had the money and could listen to other designers opinion, then instructed the machinery people to work on the designs.
I don't think that happens at all in #floss. If it happens, it is rare.

Yritin kasata suht helposti lähestyttävää ohjeistusta alkaen kaikista helpoimmista askeleista, edeten kohti vapauden auvoa.

✨ #opensource is amazing, episode 67,265:
2 months ago (precisely) I was complaining about #codeberg displaying irrelevant issue previews on social media.
I opened an issue, then @mfenniak opened a fantastic PR about it as his first contribution to #forgejo , and after a respectful review, it was merged for v10.0 which was released some days ago, and deployed to Codeberg.
And you can see the result right here: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/6043

From p5.js 2.0 and an open source philosophy:
"It's often better in the long run to mentor someone who will implement a feature rather than writing it yourself. [...] the goal is to get not just a feature implemented, but also gain a new contributor. While small issues are good for new contributors, this point is about helping contributors gain confidence and reach your level. Sure, I could implement something myself, but there is only so much of me to go around, and I'd rather gain a new collaborator in the process. In 2.0, we've ramped up many new contributors into subject-matter experts within the project, strengthening our ability to maintain the project in the future."

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

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
@toot@defcon.social
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.

¿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.
@xavier@pony.social · Reply to rrix's post
@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 (?).
@chaz@burn.capital
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.

#introduction We are the French "Copie Publique" initiative. We gather French companies who pledged to give a % of their revenues to support #FLOSS and digital commons.
We have raised €136k for 119 projects so far. Our members are @codelutin @Nereide @John_Livingston @ouestware @ouvaton and more will join soon.
Our website is now available in English at https://copiepublique.fr/en/

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.
@petersuber@fediscience.org
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.

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
@catalyst@tilde.zone
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).

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.

Neue Community auf feddit.org: FOSS - Deutschsprachige Community zum Austausch über Freie Software 💻
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]foss_de@feddit.org 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 opensource@lemmy.ml , 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.

@cassidy@blaede.family
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]...

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:

@OS1337@infosec.space · Reply to OS/1337's post
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...

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."

It might very well not be an original thought, but it just crossed my mind. The reason why there are so many white cishet guys within the #FLOSS community is likely to some parts because they don't have to struggle in their lives as hard as many minorities. Being able to contribute to FLOSS projects is a privilege that you have: resource wise (time, money), mental stability, less likely to struggle with daily tasks. 1/7 🧵

@neptune22222@kolektiva.social
I fight for the users.
I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.
I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.
I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.
I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.
I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.
I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.
I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.
I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.
I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.
I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.
I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).
I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.
I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.
I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.
I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.
Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.
I'm currently working at Apple on the Vision Pro headset team.
I'm sober.

I've been here since mid-November 2022, when Twitter went from intolerably bad to ludicrously worse. So I guess I'll be here a while. Ran out of room in the bio, and running out of chars in this post; and I don't want to make a thread -- so here are hashtags I read, and may boost:
#empiricism #science #stem #baduk #gameofgo #infosec #opensource #floss #linux #vim #python #snowboarding #motorcycling #degrowth #sustainability #pnw #uspnw #uspol #blackhistory
Cheers!

It's one thing to see your software used by them because it's #FLOSS and you can't stop them. Any such project is facing the same issue.
It's another thing to actively market it to them and enjoy cameos during their events. It's a pity you can't see why this does not foster trust, to put it mildly.
@lazarus@fosstodon.org
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. 🤔 🤷♂️

#introduction 
@admin@mastodon.slightlycyberpunk.com
Well now that everyone else seems to have finished with the trend I suppose I shall post a very late #introduction! ;)
I'm a #SoftwareEngineer, by preference and by profession. #Leftist, #Maker, and other good shit but probably I'll be posting about those two mostly.
Typically post/boost/follow for #anarchism, #socialism, #fediverse, #FLOSS, #news and #tech. I probably delete and re-draft too much; I'm trying to get better at using CWs as appropriate; but this will likely be the only time I ever use hashtags. :)

Hi, I'm FireFighterDuck, a PhD student for Logics in Computer Science and part time firefighter. My research interests are formal verification/analysis based on separation logic and formal foundations of the Rust programming language. You can find most of my work as FLOSS at https://github.com/firefighterduck
I will not write much, but I will try to follow as many interesting people as possible; be it artists, other researchers or Rust advocates.

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 @hellocatfood@mastodon.social who motivated me to do so :)

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!

May Day, May Day, on this Day in May I have a thing to say. Long has federation been a consideration, especially as Mastodon appears to be more than a mirage. Alas, choices will paralyze and ides fail to materialize. This post, this instance, this moment, yet another push will be shoved as the chains of unfree software continue to weigh. To that I say, Hey! Eventuality may not have crystalized, but for now my toots can be distillized. Remember to #FLOSS if you want to enjoy #bigandlittleFfreedom
