nsfw analogy for AI use

Apparently this translates to:

"Generative AI is like your cock: you have the right to happily use it alone at home, but be kind and:

– don't take it out at every opportunity
– don't force it into the hands of others
– don't write or draw with it
– don't shout from the rooftops that it'll change everyone's lives and that it will always be there even if its bubble bursts
– don't think with it."

(My own initial reaction: oh perhaps that's why I find writing and sharing software with AI code parts kind of intrusive... 😓)

We have to wake up to the fact that one of the aims of the #Omarchy scam is to raise its visibility outside tech circles. So the Muggles associate "Linux" with "Big Tech Billionaire Fascists."

What they will spend this money on is publicity. And for these fuckin creeps there is no such thing as bad publicity.

To erase the history of genuine successful leftism in the movement. To erase what was, before this fascist astroturfing invasion, a genuinely tolerant and diverse movement. No, not in racial and gender terms, historically, but politically. And we were working hard to move in the right direction. These currents are the target of the attack.

If we let them succeed it will be a catastrophe for this movement.

I worry that some people aren’t taking Omarchy seriously enough. It’s not just another Linux distro. It’s a well-orchestrated campaign to centralize power and influence within the Linux FOSS ecosystem. And it’s working. Anyone paying attention to DHH and what he stands for can see what’s going on here. When the guy who thinks that brown people don’t belong in society hires the guy who thinks trans people shouldn’t exist, you can see where this is going.

the second one is captioned "AI 'assisted' coding/writing/art" and has a person that looks to be skateboarding skillfully down the stairs. the person is shown multiple times in various spots along the process as a series of drawings, but the skateboard they use is always depicted as another rake. at the end they also step on the rake they skateboarded on and end up getting hit in the face as well.

the person in the lower image first looks like they're more skillful about what they're doing, yet the self-owning outcome is the same. — ALT text

I actually put the last bit in parenthesis, in relationship to training data... but in all truth i think this is maybe _the_ most fundamental question Free/Libre #FLOSS software users, authors, supporters and overall communities will need an answer to, in relation to #LLM/#GenAI:

If some code is output by [machine], can one:

- claim to be the sole author of it and chose which license to apply to it?
- declare it free/libre software, IF one cannot prove that it is NOT based, at least in part (training data), on other software that may be released by its authors under incompatible license, or plainly proprietary?

Faint hope ✊:

The blunt, unsatisfactory decision that has emerged from #Debian is sorta least common denominator that means something to someone but something else to somebody else... Yet maybe an attempt at a statement: "_irresponsible_ or _non-reponsible_ use of #LLM/#GenAi is not acceptable."

So now would be time for #Debian and #FLOSS communities at large to lead the way and determine: what would be "_responsible use of #GenAI_"?

Is the use of LLM/GenAI "responsible" if:
- it boils rivers?
- it belongs to evil US tech overlords?
- its model is proprietary?
- its training dataset is not public? (then can anything even be Free/Libre software?)

#GISWatch is much more than a publication. It is a collaborative process bringing together civil society voices – particularly from the global South – and connecting capacity building and research with advocacy.

In 2026, GISWatch returns with two special editions. One, developed by APC and NGI0, will launch at #GlobalGathering and explore the open source we want from global South, feminist and human rights perspectives.

Cocaine makes me more productive. My productivity went 10x when I started doing cocaine. I snort with care and make sure my cocaine is as ethically produced and supplied as possible. With cocaine I can do the menial tasks much quicker, giving me more time to focus on quality. Cocaine also has improved a lot lately. It's not the same cocaine as just a few months ago.

@BoydStephenSmithJr

You have to reword it for me, sorry

I was planning to put all LLM generated code in my projects under the most conservative GNU #Linux #FLOSS oriented license possible, v2 or v3 after I spend time to look closer to details

Do you mean THAT is not legally possible, or sustainable ?

Steph. Luis Rolland-Brabant ⁂

@stphrolland@mathstodon.xyz

Real question, for my own mental mapping:

is it fair to say that each and every #LLM, has been trained on #GNU /GPLv1, v2, v3 code sufficiently enough to decide that all generated code I use from LLMs, should be licensed to #GPL vX

Real question here. Aint any license expert at all, and I am thinking about licenses at the moment.

All #linux #floss #gnu knowledge about licenses welcomed

Counterwise opinions also.

Many of us in the #FreeSoftware / #FOSS / #FLOSS communities [^1] probably spent Saturday processing the #Debian project's recent General Resolution debates and vote re: LLM usage [^2]

If you're in the #NoAI camp the result is likely ... concerning, to say the least - no acknowledgement of the many negative externalities, no disclosure requirement... I could go on but that's not the point of this post.

This might be a lost battle against #ensloppification - but the fight is not over! Let's give ourselves the time to rest and reflect.

Whether we end up migrating to projects (or forges) more aligned with our values, or work on improving disclosure standards so people can more easily find, use, and support #AIfree projects - we could use some #SelfCare.

I guess my #NoAIFriday is extended to #NoAIWeekend, starting... this early sleepless Sunday.

Dear Fediverse,

for a small one-person-company I am looking for a hosted or self-hostable solution to allow customers to see a calendar in "Free/Busy" mode? And maybe even allow them to schedule an appointment in said calendar themselves?

I have never used it, but I think Calendly is doing something like that. Any experiences? Any alternatives that are worth checking out?

A Nextcloud is available, but from what I found does not offer that feature (yet?).

Thanks Fedi!

Sehr praktisch im Urlaub, wenn man auf Datenstaubsauger wie Google Lens verzichten möchte:

Die recht junge App "Offline Translator" ist schon verdammt gut! Text, Bilder, Dokumente - komplett offline. Keine Anfragen werden an externe Server gesendet.

https://github.com/DavidVentura/offline-translator

Killer Feature ist die Live Video-Übersetzung. Eben wie Google Lens, nur datenschutzfreundlich. Das gab es meines Wissens bisher nicht als freie Software in der Qualität.

When I discover an open-source software project for the first time, how can I estimate whether it is mature, healthy and usable?

I just released OSSTRL - Open Source Software Technology Readiness Level to help me calculating the maturity of open-source projects.

talking about elementaryOS, politics in open source software

While I sadly find it too unstable and lacking in features at the moment, I do have a very strong soft spot for @elementary and I try it every now and then. I am frankly sick and tired big projects and the open source world that call themselves "apolitical". Take a stance, you fucking cowards, or the world will decide for you.

There is something really unique and special about a distro that not acknowledged my existence multiple times as a transfeminine disabled person but even celebrates it. I feel seen and cared for. I know their community isn't going to be a place where things get weird and awkward at best if I dare speak about these things and my needs.

I'm not saying that every projects should openly talk about deep political topics (though they kinda should). But do the bare minimum, make it known that you're on the side of those marginalized everywhere, that you don't tolerate hateful rhetoric. Be a fascist repellent.

"Apolitical" often means complete silence on social issues within the community. Because guess what, your cool open source apolitical project is gonna have a community around it, and if you let it, it will always replicate the status-quo, and so, it will always be for cishet white dudes first and everyone else lasts. You need to work for it to be anything but, and I'd say you have a moral obligation to do so but at a time where so many projects are almost rolling out the red carpet for open fascists within their community spaces, I can take the hint that this is a conversation some are clearly not ready for.

Elementary is not behind the time. It has always been and is still is very much forward thinking.

The state of open source software is fucking depressing, I resent being every minute I spend in it. I would say "do better" but most of you are not even trying.

Sehr praktisch im Urlaub, wenn man auf Datenstaubsauger wie Google Lens verzichten möchte:

Die recht junge App "Offline Translator" ist schon verdammt gut! Text, Bilder, Dokumente - komplett offline. Keine Anfragen werden an externe Server gesendet.

https://github.com/DavidVentura/offline-translator

Killer Feature ist die Live Video-Übersetzung. Eben wie Google Lens, nur datenschutzfreundlich. Das gab es meines Wissens bisher nicht als freie Software in der Qualität.

Having been on a blissful vacation, I have now resorted to never contribute to a #GenAI / #LLM friendly project again outside of working hours (and that only as far as I work for an #AIpilled company so I have to do it anyway)

Which means it's probably the beginning of the end for my #Fedora involvement - I have high hopes for #Guix adopting a near-ban in the near future, and hopefully #Debian too

@OrionKidder@mas.to

I don't know who needs to hear this, but #Linux is political. You personally might not be into it for the politics, which is fine I guess, but anything that pushes back against America's global tech monopoly is a political project. It can't not be.

Just saying.

A curious irony in the fact a great many of the free and open source platforms championing digital sovereignty are themselves utterly infrastructurally dependent on big tech apparatus GitHub, itself owned (and mined) by the ruthless and closed source market monopolist Microsoft.

We're gaining ground fast, but we've still got a way to go in the truly sovereign platform space. To use is to support, and that means any point along the supply chain.

🐧 Als plötzlich Schluss war...

Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich wieder einmal OpenOS.at – eine Webseite, die ich seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern genutzt habe. Statt der gewohnten Startseite erschien jedoch nur noch ein kurzer Hinweis:

„Diese Webpräsenz wurde am 26. Juni 2026 (nach 12 Jahren Betrieb) eingestellt.“

Damit endet nach zwölf Jahren ein Projekt, das für viele Linux- und BSD-Interessierte eine feste Anlaufstelle war.

Das erste Bild zeigt die frühere Startseite von OpenOS.at – mit aktuellen Distributionen, Nachrichten, Statistiken und Veranstaltungen aus der Welt freier Betriebssysteme. Das zweite Bild zeigt, was heute davon übrig geblieben ist.

Warum OpenOS eingestellt wurde, wissen wir bisher nicht. Vielleicht gibt es persönliche Gründe, vielleicht fehlte die Zeit oder Unterstützung. Vielleicht fand sich einfach niemand, der das Projekt weiterführen wollte. Solange es keine offizielle Erklärung gibt, sollten wir darüber nicht spekulieren.

Mich bringt das jedoch zum Nachdenken.

Viele von uns nutzen täglich freie Software, Webseiten, Foren oder Dienste. Wir freuen uns über aktuelle Informationen, hilfreiche Programme und funktionierende Server – oft ganz selbstverständlich und kostenlos.

Doch hinter all dem stehen Menschen.

Menschen, die ihre Freizeit investieren. Menschen, die Server betreiben, Inhalte pflegen, Fehler beheben, Updates einspielen und Fragen beantworten. Oft über viele Jahre hinweg und meist ehrenamtlich.

Gerade Projekte, die von einer einzelnen Person oder einem kleinen Team getragen werden, leisten Erstaunliches. Gleichzeitig sind sie aber auch besonders verletzlich. Wenn die Motivation nachlässt, das Privatleben mehr Zeit fordert oder gesundheitliche Gründe dazukommen, kann selbst ein langjähriges Projekt plötzlich enden.

Vielleicht erinnert uns das Ende von OpenOS daran, dass Open Source und freie Communities vom Mitmachen leben.

Nicht nur nutzen.

Nicht nur konsumieren.

Sondern auch einmal Danke sagen, Fehler melden, Dokumentationen schreiben, anderen helfen, einen kleinen Betrag spenden oder selbst mit anpacken.

Denn genau davon lebt unsere Gemeinschaft.

Ich möchte mich deshalb heute bei allen bedanken, die im Hintergrund dafür sorgen, dass freie Projekte überhaupt existieren – egal ob Entwickler, Administratoren, Übersetzer, Autoren oder Community-Mitglieder.

Ihr macht das Internet ein Stück besser. ❤️

Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

https://ox.ogeer.org/event/good-enough-ancestor-software-freedom-as-civic-care-across-generations-audrey-tang-2025-right-livelihood-laureate-and-taiwans-cyber-ambassador

The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Any good open source projects I could contribute to? A game, a good cause software project, something neat? My specialty is Python but I have worked with many languages and would be more than happy to work in anything else as long as the project isn't LLM slop.

I have a good fundamental understanding of game and level design as well as fairly advanced systems analysis and design (especially from an OOP perspective).

edit: Please boost, any reach helps!

I have a #unix and #floss #philosophy question:

Does it still make sense for us to have all our build tools use /usr/local as the destination for software?

Should we maybe re-think the defaults or maybe even the filesystem layout now that multi-user UNIX systems are becoming relatively rare (Yes I see you Tilde denizens. I am one of you and I love the exceptions, I'm talking about the rule :)

This question brought to you by me realizing that my current choices are sudo or shenanigans with build tools I don't feel like messing with.

LLM, negative, lost of trust

Some people think that #LLM usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the #AI hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.

I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.

I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.

So, I'm sorry to say, but #FreeSoftware is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.

I have like zero respect left for developers who use LLMs to write or maintain their software.

I don't even care for the reasons why they use this unethical piece of... technology.

Technology trained on data they don't own. Technology owned and shaped by fascists. Technology that sends its crawlers around the globe to suck every bit they can find to dump their models into big f***ing corp data centers. Data centers that are polluting the air with their big ass gas plants.

But hey! "Leave ethics aside". "That's how software development works today!".

I'm so sick of this and about everyone supporting this industry.

If you feel targeted, you are welcome. I have zero respect for you or your software garbage. I just wish you the worst.

Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

https://ox.ogeer.org/event/good-enough-ancestor-software-freedom-as-civic-care-across-generations-audrey-tang-2025-right-livelihood-laureate-and-taiwans-cyber-ambassador

The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

https://sustainoss.org/events/ai-floss-sustainability-forum-2026/

Share widely please!

It is impossible to argue against the assertion that AI is having profound impacts on many aspects of free, libre and open source software projects, communities and ecosystem.

If you have interest in exploring how AI in all its various and rapidly evolving forms is impacting FLOSS software and all those who work on the same, we invite you to join us for the next SustainOSS Virtual Forum on Thursday 11 June 2026.

At this #SustainOSS Virtual Forum on #ai, FLOSS, and Sustainability, we will survey the challenges, evolution, and opportunities emerging from the ever-expanding role of AI in software engineering, community management, project governance and, most importantly, the #sustainability of our shared #FLOSS universe. Specific topics to be addressed on the agenda will be identified in collaboration with confirmed participants.

We invite you to share your experiences, ideas, and concerns around the roles and impacts of AI in our rapidly changing ecosystems, across various scales, engage in respectful discussion, and envision goals and partnerships we can collectively embrace to sustain our #opensource ecosystems.

A 20-year-old #FreeSoftware developer, Erfan Arabi, is reportedly facing 8 years in prison in #Iran for “creating community against national security.”

Let that sink in: building community is being treated like a crime.

If you care about free software, digital freedom, and basic human dignity, this should outrage you. When a regime criminalizes collaboration, it is not defending security, it is attacking the very idea of a free society.

Hey fedi,
I'm looking for #floss / #opensource recommendations for software to create flyers, posters, zines and such.
So far I've used #Krita for designing things and #Scribus for creating the PDF files my print service wants. But it didn't feel like the best approach.
I also used #inkscape, e.g. for moderation cards.

Is there another software I'm missing out on? (Never got cozy with GIMP)
Am I on the right path and just need practice?
I'm also happy to hear about good guides :)

# FediSuite - Fediverse Management ## Open source social media management and analytics platform Managing multiple Fediverse accounts means juggling tabs, forgetting which composer belongs to which platform, and losing track of what you've already posted. FediSuite puts all of it in one place. Connect accounts from 13 platforms - Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, Friendica, PeerTube, Loops, and more. The app detects your instance type automatically, pulls the correct character limit and media rules directly from your instance, and configures the composer accordingly. No manual setup. The analytics go well beyond follower counts: daily engagement charts, follower growth, best posting times as a heatmap, hashtag performance, and a tips engine that reads your actual data and gives you specific suggestions based on your own numbers. Accessibility has been a core focus of recent development. Every analytics chart ships with a companion text summary and a full data table so screen reader users get the same information everyone else does. Keyboard navigation follows WAI-ARIA patterns throughout. The HTML lang attribute updates correctly when you change the UI language. None of this is bolted on - it's been part of the engineering work from the start. FediSuite is free and open source under the GPL-3.0. You can use the hosted instance at app.fedisuite.com right now, or run your own with a standard Docker Compose setup - no compilation required. There's also a native Android app (very alpha!). https://www.fedisuite.com Source code & bug reports: https://github.com/christinloehner/FediSuite-Docker-Image Self-hosting: https://github.com/christinloehner/FediSuite Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/christinloehner/fedisuite Android app: https://github.com/christinloehner/FediSuite-Android-App #fedisuite #fediverse #activitypub #opensource #selfhosting #insights #mastodon #pixelfed #peertube #loops #friendica #misskey #accessibility #a11y

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.

If it wasn't for the dogmatic adherence to GNU philosophy then I would have probably pivoted to Guix already. People are that deep in their ideology that the Nonguix repository emphasize it should be used as a last resort and that the repository should not be discussed in official channels. Imagine being so free that you circle back to being overbearingly authoritarian by not letting people pick what they want to use.

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.

🔗: https://www.monicahq.com

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 :)

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.

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!

This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.

@Codeberg my problem ain't #scrapers - otherwise I'd #SelfHost my stuff in my own home LAN - but rather #bots flooding #Issues and #PullRequests with garbage.

Cuz I do expect #bots to scrape #FLOSS which I permissively licensed...

The problem I dread is once people start abusing their "#AI"#bullshit and #FloodTheZoneWithShit aka. "#AIslop" for no good reason.

Kinda like @bagder had to deal with "AI" slop #SecurityReports that didn't even try to show #ProofOfConcept or actually evidence their claims in a scientifically reproduceable fashion but merely wasted lifetime of maintainers!

@sjvn this is actually very simple to solve:

Make #Support paid-only and reject submission from non - subscribers.

This something an increasing number of #FLOSS projects do: Rejecting submissions of non-allowlisted users without a valid #SupportSubscription at time of submission!

So if #Google is literally demanding an #SLA they should OFC pay for that.

Anything else is just being a rich asshole corporation leeching!

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.

@landley @eruwero @maybeanerd but if your goal is to "commit asset-denial" against GAFAMs then shure, AGPLv3 is a shure-fire method to have neither corporate users nor -sponsors…

If you expect to be paid to maintain #FLOSS you need to find a company willing to do that, and they certainly won't do AGPL but either #openwashing with "#SourceAvailable" shit like #SSPL or choose #0BSD up to #GPLv2.

@kkarhan@infosec.space @maybeanerd@bumscode.com @landley@mstdn.jp #bigtech should definitely pay for the shit they produce or use, one way or another. Why work for them for free? What's your source for the BusyBox thing? According to Wikipedia they settled the cases for future compliance and undisclosed amounts of money, which seems to be a good thing (for the developers probably and for everyone because the modified code had to be released) #GPL

#NotLegalAdvice #Licensing #OpenSource #GAFAM

@kkarhan@infosec.space · Reply to maybeanerd

@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.

On the flipside developers like @landley evidenced with #BusyBox that enforcing license terms doesn't do much than burnout IP lawyers and scare away [corporate] contributors.

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…

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):

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.

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.

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

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 »

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)!

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 :)

“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

@MattiSG@maly.io · Reply to Matti Schneider

“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.

“The problem is that we don't have the institutions for industrial sovereignty, so we rely instead on project governance. So we need to think about things like levying a tax”, or in general ways to capture some of the €€ that is made at the end of the chain from #FLOSS and #DigitalCommons. — Lukasz Klejnowski
Yep, I'm tired to have to think of business models that cost a lot to establish to capture some of the value provided to society. DPI funding should be like physical infra: tax!

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?

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! :)

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

Elect the next GNOME Foundation Board of Directors for 2025!

(Oh, and I'm running…)

@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.

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?

Technological platforms are not neutral. If we truly want to resist the digital coup that is currently under way, we need to normalize the use of free, open source solutions.

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

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?

@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?

@ed @osi Publish the results!

💸 Germany sends €204.5M to Microsoft annually while European open-source projects need investment.

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 a recent LinkedIn article, Neculai Dăscălița, our Account Manager, highlighted that the German federal government spends over €1.3 billion annually on software, with €204.5 millions going directly to Microsoft. His analysis raises a crucial question:

Could part of this budget be redirected toward Free/Libre and Open-Source Software (FLOSS) to support national digital sovereignty?

To explore this further, we sat down with Neculai to discuss the challenges of proprietary software dependency, the advantages of FLOSS adoption, and the strategic steps governments can take to transition to open-source solutions. — ALT text

@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.

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 !

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.

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:

it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
it's only available from Google's Play store
it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
it wants access to your ad ID

In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

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.

@LivInTheLookingGlass@transfem.social · Reply to Olivia A-C

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Iso kiitos @nemobis alustan tarjoamisesta kirjoitukselle!

Irti Facebookista, Googlesta, Microsoftista, X/Twitteristä ja valvontakapitalismista

Mark Zuckerberg ja Elon Musk ovat näyttäneet ennennäkemättömän selvästi miten taloudellista valtaa vaihdetaan poliittiseksi vallaksi. Hiljattain olemme joutuneet lukemaan uutisia siitä, miten Facebookin ja Instagramin omistava some- ja mainosjätti Meta Platforms lopettaa faktantarkistustohjelmansa ja sallii vähemmistöjä alentavaa sisältöä. Musk teki saman X/Twitterissä jo aiemmin. Nämä Trumpin ja oikeistopopulistien pussiin pelaavat liikkeet ovat jälleen yksi hälyttävä muistutus siitä, miksei internettiä ja digitaalista elämäämme voi jättää Meta Platformsin kaltaisten yritysten käsiin. Meta Platforms, Google, Microsoft ja X/Twitter ovat tehneet yksityisyydestä ja ihmisten ajattelun ohjaamisesta (mainoksista ja valheellisista sisällöistä) itselleen tuottoisan bisneksen.

✨ #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."

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. .. .

¿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.

@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.

#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.

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.

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).

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]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.

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.

@OS1337@infosec.space

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!

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

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."

What kind of trust does a project #maintainer need to have in a new co-maintainer? To get better at #opensource #sustainability, we need to improve at recruiting, training, & promoting new leaders.

I cover attributes to check for.

I mine 4 comparable situations for assessment ideas, & explain how to reduce how much trust you NEED to give by promoting someone.

@narrator@fedi.opensourcestories.org

How do open source projects get things done? How do they retain contributors, attract users, and make technical decisions? All this (and more!) falls under the auspice of "governance". Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.

Rethinking the meaning of governance with Shauna Gordon-McKeon

In a conversation looking at multiple meanings of open source governance and project health, Shauna Gordon-McKeon shares with Open Source Stories views of how investing in project culture can build virtuous cycles of inclusion and contribution. From reducing the number of roles that a maintainer might have to fill to lowering the barriers for user participation, this conversation looks to build from crisis management in 2017 to continuing improvements into the future with the ways open source projects get done.

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 🧵

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.

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.

- 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. 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Una de las cuestiones que mas me gusta de #NeoStore es que ademas de reunir a casi todos los repositorios de apps para #Android puede distinguir entre #FLOSS y los #Shareware

ɯɟʇɹ

@rtfm@mastodon.la

¿Por que no darle una segunda vida a tu telefono movil?

Hace unos dias lei que hemos acelerado enormemente la rotacion de compra-uso-basura de nuestros aparatos, llegando a la escandalosa cifra de renovarlos casi cada 2 años.

Los fabricantes, en colusion con los distribuidores y los vendedores han llevado a tal extremo esta tendencia, que en la actualidad la mayoria de los modelos practicamente deja de recibir actualizaciones a los 6 meses de haber dejado las fabricas.

Hoy por hoy esta industria es una de las 10 mas destructoras del medio ambiente, al requerir cada vez mayores cantidades de metales a una velocidad nunca antes vista.

Por el otro lado los gobiernos hacen intentos mas bien esteticos a este crimen contra la naturaleza. La #UE acaba de aprobar la obligacion de que todos los aparatos que dependan de una o mas entradas de tipo USB sean del Tipo-C, como una maniobra de lavar su imagen y hacernos creer que de esta forma las gigantes estaran obligadas a frenar su maquinaria monstruosa de fabricacion - venta - a la basura... que finalmente para nada frena el problema de fondo: Los nuevos modelos deberian ser obligatoriamente reparables en cada una de sus piezas, facilitando al menos su intercambio, ademas de exigir que el soporte de #Android, #iOS, #Microsoft y todos los demas OS no fueran inferiores a 10 años o mas... y esto deberia cubrir incluso a los modelos ya "obsoletos" (de programacion)

El ecocidio que llevan a cabo las gigantes tecnologicas se extiende tanto a las fuentes minerales, como tambien al resto de los materiales que se ocupan en la fabricacion... y para detener esto se tendria que aplicar un principio que se podria enunciar como "retornabilidad, responsabilidad y reciclabilidad", es decir, que todos los aparatos que salen de las fabricas deberian incluir desde el origen un costo por la destruccion de la naturaleza y los ecosistemas que intervienen una vez son deshechados... sumar a esto una tasa de retornabilidad, que incluyera la obligacion a que todas las empresas fueran obligadas a recolectar los aparatos abandonados, asi como se hace con las botellas, en donde el cliente recibe un reembolso cuando la devuelve... y por ultimo, que las empresas esten obligadas a reciclar no menos del 90% del material invertido en los aparatos, de tal forma que los recien salidos de la linea de produccion ya incluyan al menos un 80% o mas de material reciclado.

Solo de esta forma se conseguiria que la industria en su conjunto se movilizara en la misma direccion y no fuera dejando victimas en su camino.

Y volviendo al titulo de esta entrada: ¿Sabias que la #FSE lanzo hace ya un tiempo la campaña que da titulo a este texto?

Esto solo es posible gracias a la magia del #FLOSS. Por lo que yo se (y ojala otros me corrijan y amplien esta informacion), menos del 1% de los modelos de telefonos que tienen android instalado pueden ser rescatados instalandoles una ROM diferente, ya que cada ROM puede ser instalada en un numero muy reducido de telefonos moviles.

Ejemplo de ello, es que #eOS solo soporta poco mas de 270 modelos de telefonos en sus diferentes savores y versiones. Esto se debe principalmente al ya eterno problema de que los fabricantes se niegan a cooperar al menos en lo concerniente a entregar la informacion necesaria para sacar nuevas ROMs o adapatar las que ya hoy estan circulando.

#LineagOS soporta una cantidad mucho mayor en sus diferentes sabores, pero tambien es limitado y no alcanza a todo el universo de marcas/modelos.

En este sentido el llamado de la FSF tambien se puede interpretar en ultima instancia como una exigencia a los fabricantes para que sean algo mas cooperadores, ya que ni siquiera quieren asumir su parte de este MEGA problema.

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. :)

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.

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.

#Research results on: "How to De-Anonymize #I2P Network Participants" are out now. Research partner: Lucerne University of Applied Science, #Switzerland.

#Blog article available: https://www.diva.exchange/en/privacy/research-results-as-video-i2p-de-anonymisation-and-diva/ - also as #rss https://www.diva.exchange/en/feed/.

Since #tor has several well known vulnerabilities and also a hierarchical architecture, @i2p is the modern #foss / #floss alternative for those which understand #privacy as an important human right.
