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

🔥 Here's a great video! In less than 4 minutes, the talented @_elena highlights (as it deserves) the #Fediverse, how it works, and its virtues… as opposed to the well-known hegemonic social networks.
💡 Having trouble convincing your friends and family to take the red pill and follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole? Show them this video, which is clear, educational, and very appealing!

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

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

“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

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.

Pro tip, if you're writing issues to report something to a #floss project, don't use strong or judgy wording. It doesn't help your case, to be sassy.

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?

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."

OK, seeing the stuff that is going on w/ #fosstodon, it seems that if I were to move it would probably be #Hachyderm or #Floss. W/ that said anyone know if you could "slurp" your posts over? I'm not in the mood to spend time/money in firing up my own instance, & honestly social media seems to continue spiraling into a cesspool anyways.
If other servers are "defederating" (if I understand that correctly), I don't want to miss out on reading posts for the hashtags I follow. Thoughts? Ideas? Thx!

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.

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.XWiki SAS

💸 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.

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

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

Remember that GNOME Circle app developers are eligible to become voting members of the GNOME Foundation. And according to the bylaws¹, all contributors are eligible, including those who contribute to areas like documentation and advocacy.
Become a member if you aren’t already, then don’t forget to vote!
If you’re curious what the GNOME Foundation does, Allan has written an update² of recent activities.

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.

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

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 …

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.

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.

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

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

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)!

(EDIT: the project is a tool with applications primarily in #engineering and #science )

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.

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.

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.

@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. .. .

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.

@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.

Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde el primer pre-lanzamiento, pero desde julio he trabajado en él con más o menos intensidad, y está cada vez más cerca de su primer lanzamiento estable.
En las notas del lanzamiento podéis ver todos los cambios.
Espero que os guste. Está disponible para #linux (64 bits y ARM 64) y Windows.

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

@chaz@burn.capital
Open source is the libertarianism [derogatory] of the software world. It's the adolescent, knee-jerk "don't tell me what to do" of licensing.
And just like libertarianism, it's completely co-opted by big money interests using the sentiment to entrench their own interests over the needs of real human beings.
Copyleft on the other hand is punk as fuck. Copyleft is anarchist praxis for software. Copyleft builds community. Copyleft ensures code belongs to actual human beings in perpetuity, even as it grows and evolves.
Fuck open source. Use copyleft licenses.

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.

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.

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.

normalise paying for free software.
developers do not create free software if they can not afford rent or food. consider paying for the free software you value.
free of charge (gratis) is an emergent property of #FOSS / #FLOSS , not a core principle such as freedom (libre).
the #GNU project and #GPL license support developers who ask a fee for free software. (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html).

Version 1.2 of Toki Trainer for iOS is fully released!
A study tool for the language toki pona, version 1.2 has French localization and a better user experience that addresses user feedback.
You can download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toki-trainer/id1593960841
The community-contributed dictionary is also available in a web frontend at https://toki.maddie.info/
The web-frontend is still less feature-rich than the iOS client for now.
Please give either or both a try! I make these FOSS tools and release them for free, with no advertising or tracking.
If you’d like to support my continued work on these tools you can donate to my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/maddiefuzz
Thanks for your time, and a special thanks to those who contributed the French translations. This localization wouldn’t be possible without you.

Neue Community auf feddit.org: FOSS - Deutschsprachige Community zum Austausch über Freie Software 💻
Da wohl wirklich nur noch wenig Hoffnung besteht für einen problemlosen Weiterbetrieb von feddit.de, gibt es für deutschsprachige Diskussionen und Nachrichten zu #FOSS -Themen nun diese neue Community auf feddit.org:
👉 feddit.org/c/foss_de
Inhaltlich kann es um Alles rund um #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #FreieSoftware gehen, was Euch interessiert - seien es bestimmte Anwendungen, neue Releases, Fragen, Tipps und Empfehlungen oder auch gesellschaftliche Initiativen wie #PublicMoneyPublicCode und vieles mehr.
Es ist eine Lemmy -Community auf #fedditOrg. Ihr könnt die Community auch von #Mastodon , #Friendica #Akkoma etc. aus abonnieren. Und ihr könnt damit auch ohne Lemmy-Account Beiträge darin erstellen, indem Ihr den Community-Account [ät]foss_de@feddit.org taggt. Ausführlicher hier.
Wenn Ihr auf Lemmy aktiv seid, könnt ihr Euch gerne auch noch als Co-Mods melden.
Es gibt schon lange eine sehr große und aktive englischsprachige Opensource-Community opensource@lemmy.ml , aber um sich zu deutschsprachigen News auszutauschen oder Fragen auf deutsch zu stellen und zu diskutieren, soll diese Community als Ergänzung dienen.
Die bisherigen Beiträge der Feddit.de-Community sind u.a. hier zu sehen.
Damit aber erst einmal: 🧡lich willkommen in der neuen Community @foss_de ! Ich bin gespannt auf Eure Beiträge.

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.

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...

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... ]

Also apparently grsec managed to get their #Wikipedia [article wiped](

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.

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".

Two astronauts in space looking at the Earth, which has a big sticker on it that says, "COPYLEFT: ALL RIGHTS REVERSED" with a backwards "C" in the middle. One astronaut is asking, "Wait, it's all free software?" while the other astronaut floats behind him, pointing a gun at his head, and says, "Always has been."

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 🧵

Time for a (new?) #introduction
👋 to all recent arrivals.
I'm a #swiss #FLOSS hacker, 10+ years a @debian Developer, 10+ years a @Liip 'er SysAdmin (and Internal IT lead), enthusiastic #cyclist and outdoor lover; active in the local Greens section #politics . Future dad.
My other account is @DidierRaboud , with more local / french-speaking content.
Mostly a re-tooter.

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. 🤔 🤷♂️

Introduction
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. :)
Democratically elected eternal administrator of this private instance consisting of just me and my bots (it was a very quick and unanimous election.) 'Twas a lonely place before the Twit exodus but I have been finding so many lovely people lately and filling my feed to capacity!

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!

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.

The torrent for the final PDF and all the source/assets files of FLOSS+Art (2008), an edited collection of texts about Free/Libre Open Source Software (#FLOSS) and #art #music and #design , is once again seeded!
Big thanks to @hellocatfood@mastodon.social who motivated me to do so :)

New essay: Seven theses on the Fediverse and the becoming of FLOSS
Recently, @rra and I have been working on an essay highlighting questions about the #Fediverse and how these are getting entangled with #FLOSS practices. From software production to structure and governance within alternative social media, online communities and politics.
The text follows a multi theses model, to map the different things we've been looking at and publish the current state of our research.
It is the closing chapter of a new publication from INC/Transmediale (https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-eternal-network)
PDF of the text: https://monoskop.org/images/c/cc/Mansoux_Aymeric_Abbing_Roel_Roscam_2020_Seven_Theses_on_the_Fediverse_and_the_Becoming_of_FLOSS.pdf
Feedback welcome. We're planning to publish an online version with more references!

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