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.

The new #gnome website is online, and I absolutely love that gnome invites not only developers to collaborate but also provides concrete contact possibilities for designers, translators, and people for testing. I think this should be more common to make the collaboration about people, not only code. #floss

Reckon it's time to move your floss projects off github.

It's in America.
It's Big Tech Microsoft.
It's going to bend the knee to fascism.
It's got the ai brain worms.

It's not free.

Com que m'acabo de mudar a la meva casa virtual (i també física 😀) del @canodrom aquí va la meva #presentacio.

M'interessa la tecnologia i la seva relació amb el poder, el #FLOSS i com es governen els comuns digitals. També el dret de les persones a circular lliurement.

Que a Palestina hi ha un genocidi i al patriarcat li hem de calar foc són els mínims perquè ens puguem entendre, en català, castellà o anglès 🙃

Tuntui oikealta hetkeltä kirjoittaa blogiteksti valvontakapitalismista irrottautumisesta. Yritin kasata suht helposti lähestyttävää ohjeistusta alkaen kaikista helpoimmista askeleista, edeten kohti vapauden auvoa. En löytänyt vastaavia aiempia oppaita suomeksi, sopii linkata jos tietää jotain relevanttia.

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

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. .. .

just like how we say in the feministsphere,

MY FEMINISM WILL BE INTERSECTIONAL OR IT WILL BE BULLSHIT

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.

#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.

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.

Hello! I'm RainbowCookie, I use mostly #FOSS (#FLOSS, #OpenSource) software.

I will post random thoughts, memes, and miscellaneous things I find interesting. And I talk tech stuff.

Some things I value are #Copyleft, #DigitalPrivacy, #OpenScience, #FreedomOfSpeech, and other things that let people share.

Have a nice day!

Meine (nicht-öffentliche) Nextcloud und bald bestimmt mehr ist auf (A)steroiden, cause proudly hosted by uberspace.de. (Steroide sind natürlich nur für Maschinen OK, und auch nur so lange, wie sie sich nicht gewerkschaftlich organisieren, wie bei Stanislav Lem.)

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).

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 💻

#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.

#OpenSource #GNOME #Linux #FOSS #FLOSS #FreeSoftware

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...

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!

Hello @hachyderm !

I'm moving here from #FLOSS social - I'm a long-time #Linux user (since 1998) and @fedora contributor, and recently became a @debian maintainer as well.

$dayjob is at #Meta which unfortunately causes additional friction with the old instance since #Threads launched; they pay me to contribute upstream and basically make Linux distros work better for us and for the community; can't complain there.

I'm a #Midwest #USA transplant - originally from #Indonesia

#introduction

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

Haack's Networking is a small IT networking/security firm that focuses on educators, small businesses, and leverages Free Software culture and solutions. The director, Jonathan Haack runs this account and maintains this instance - membership is open to everyone so long as posts are about Free Software and/or its surrounding culture/background. In addition to posting here, you can discuss GNU/Linux more at the pubglug Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#pubglug:gnulinux.club #floss #freesoftware #gnulinux

#meme #foss #floss #copyleft

#introduction

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.

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. 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Ich bin seit Sommer 2021 auf Mastodon, aber nach meinem Umzug von social.tchncs.de #neuhier auf dieser Instanz. Nachdem ich schon seit längerem Fördermitglied bei @digitalcourage bin, war es einfach an der Zeit.

Beruflich und von den meisten Interessen her bin ich in der #IT beheimatet. In den letzten Jahren stelle ich vermehrt die Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft im digtalen Zeitalter in Frage und habe für mich einige Schlüsse daraus gezogen. So besitze ich weder ein Konto bei #Microsoft und #Google noch nutze ich irgendeinen Service aus dem Universum des Konzerns #Meta. Die Nutzung von #Amazon habe ich weitestgehend eingestellt.

Themen für die ich mich u.a. interessiere: #Netzpolizik, #Mainframe, #Datenschutz, #FLOSS, #Security, #Privacy, #Selfhosting, #Linux, #CSGO, #OpenStreetMap, #Wandern, #GrapheneOS, #Klima, #Überwachungskapitalismus, #Hardstyle.

Bleibt nur noch zu sagen: Ich freue mich auf (weiterhin) einen tollen Austausch im #Fediverse!

#introduction

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.

🇫🇷 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 :)

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!
