No real money flows yet — AI companies haven't implemented the paying side.

But deploy NOW. When Cloudflare opens payments, sites already speaking HTTP 402 collect first.

Free on Cloudflare Workers. Open source. MIT.

#HTTP402 #WebDev #OpenSource

AI companies have scraped your content for years. Free. Without asking permission.

HTTP 402 says: not anymore.

If Osprey is overkill (it can be for small/early platforms!), we also just open sourced Coop, a more straightforward trust and safety review dashboard with its own automation built in—including optional integrations with hash matching, Google Content Safety API, and OpenAI moderation API.

https://roost.tools/blog/meet-coop-v-0/

While Osprey’s actively used in multiple production environments, Coop is still v0; it’s out there but we’re actively working towards a stable release.

@matrix is doing just that by integrating Osprey into their policy servers for automated rules and investigations. Users of the open source, decentralized alternative platform will be safer, too, thanks in part to @roost. 😉

Bluesky is also already using Osprey to handle tens of millions of daily events, tackling real-time social media issues like scams, spam, and more.

https://roost.tools/blog/how-bluesky-transformed-their-safety-operations-with-osprey/

It’s an exciting time for open source trust and safety!

#OpenSource #TrustAndSafety #Matrix #Bluesky

Discord open sourced their internal trust and safety rules engine with @roost and has now reintegrated it into production!

Osprey now handles around 400 million actions per day in production at Discord. If you run a Discord-sized platform (or anything smaller!), you can just… use their automated rules engine yourself because it’s open source.

That said, after making 6(!) pre-releases to test it, I have multi-architecture Flatpak builds working in CI. Every PR is automatically tested against a development build (so you can grab the artifact and install it alongside the stable release) for each architecture, and now each stable release automatically builds and attaches a release build for each architecture as well.

Signal Protocol for a P2P Webapp

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #NodeJS limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my #P2P messaging project.

Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/

P2P App Demo:
https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.

How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? 🤔

@opensource organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.

70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.

With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

Hello Fedi! I'm finally writing my #Introduction post after being a lurker for years (2022 is when I made my first account). I've never really been active on any social media, but Mastodon is unique and I'd like to experience the sense of community that it offers.

A bit about me! I live in a fairly small town in #Saskatchewan on Treaty 4 land. I enjoy #gardening, #walking, and playing #guitar. I am collecting and digitizing CDs which I enjoy through a modest, self hosted Jellyfin server. I gave #Linux a shot several years ago and have since been in love with the principles of #opensource and #FOSS. Recently I've been working to improve #OpenStreetMap in my area to make it a more viable option for others in my community.

I'm a proud democratic socialist, and I believe in the project of universal liberation. I support the rights of #workers, the #LGBTQIA community, and #immigrants. I oppose #fascism and believe that we once again find ourselves at the crossroads of #socialism and barbarism. Despite how grim everything looks now, I see enough good in the world to remain optimistic for the future. This is one place in particular that brings me hope. Y'all are cool here 👍

Steal this idea: an app that combines YouTube and @peertube into a single YouTube-like interface that treats content from both as equals. Where duplicates exist, PeerTube gets priority by default. Throw in some options for patronizing creators on PeerTube, and it could motivate them to migrate to and stay on decentralized platforms.

Even better if self-hosted with Invidious on the backend.

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!

In this one, we have #GNOME 50 getting a massive beta, more progress on GNOME OS, the release of #KDE Plasma 6.6, and KDE debunking some FUD around their use of SystemD, the EU taking aim at infinite scrolling, and a lot more!

What if every project on GitHub had a ACCESSIBILITY.md

Would this commitment at the root of a project change anything?

This is a rough draft of what it could look like:
https://mgifford.github.io/ACCESSIBILITY.md

#Accessibility #OpenSource

I think it still looks okay on desktop, too! It’s almost the exact same size as before by default, but uses the space better and can of course adapt to nearly any window size (yay tiling!).

Also, I continue to push at the accent color tinting in my apps. I think it’s nice. Here, my computer has a purple accent.

Most commercial VPNs give you an illusion of privacy, not the real thing.

My latest post covers the tools worth knowing about: Tor for anonymous browsing, self-hosted WireGuard VPN on Iceland-based infrastructure, Quad9 for private DNS, and even why an SD card can outperform any digital tool when things get serious.

What're your favourite tools?

Say I just came up with something really cool that's a library and can be useful to folks. In pre-AI times, I'd slap a GPL on it and release it as an open repo.

Now, today, how can I make it available in a way that won't get instantly sucked into training data?

Secondly (and more importantly), how can I make sure people bring their questions to me, so the project can evolve? (As opposed to them asking LLMs to hallucinate/slopcode quick tweaks for them?)

Hier nous étions à #AlpOSS aux côtés de nombreux acteurs régionaux de l’opensource et parmi les sponsors de l’événement.
Notre équipe Systèmes & Réseaux présentait les solutions #opensource qu’elle déploie dans tous les domaines.

"Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software."

Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further...

"The company [Google] warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness. "

Yeah. For Google itself it can definitely "harm [their] competetiveness".

"According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth."

Correct again, if you ARE Google. If everyone start using open-source alternatives it will most likely not contribute to Googles economic growth.

It quite likely will contribute to economic growth for a bunch of smaller/new companies. It will also open the playing field for software development which still being possible for anyone to verify/test/check/view the source code to ensure there are no flaws in there, or algorithms for tracking people based on advertising goals.

They are kind of correct too in that it will probably cause a temporary set-back in economic growth for all those companies that live under the illusion of "there should always be growth and we will do anything to make that happen", but I consider that a good thing. When that speed bump has been passed there will be an opportunity to do a controlled/reasonable acceleration.

Given that Google has removed the "Don't be evil" from their Mission Statement, for unknown reason, I think it is wise, for many different reasons, to cut down on the dependence on Google (and Microsoft, Facebook etc), and to look at alternatives. Ideally open-source ones that can be scrutinized by anyone who wishes to do so.

Possible solution to the agentic slopware takeover of #OpenSource repos:

Require every contributor to have a verified* Fediverse account.

* multiple verified website links on profile
* rational posting history
* quick handle search doesn't yield accusations of being a bot

Yes, this does mean we lose the ability for contributors to remain fully anonymous, but, like, we're running out of options here. We *have* to know if you're a real human being somehow… 🫠

@BuyFromEU Those are not european projects. Those are general open source projects. As far as i support boycot of big tech and us companies i want to leave some sentences on this "european companies are better" thinking. The problem is not only that US companies are evil because they are US based. Sure legislation especially on dsgvo is stricter in europe than in the US and US oligarchs are going crazy ...
But thats not the core of the problem. The core of the Problem is that the companies are for profit companies. Thats also true for european companies. But the Problem is that they are for profit companies and the profit is most of the times in contradiction to the needs of the working class. As long as we have that contradiction also EU based companies won't save us. They just server our particular interests more. We have to smash capitalism. That does not mean that it is not good to switch to other providers that may take privacy or other things more serious. I just want to say that this is not enough.

"It is is not important whether the change is generated by an AI, it is important whether the change is good"
("change" can be a pull request for code or a edit on Wikipedia)

This take ignores at least two things:
– People in a community review the change and give feedback under the assumption that a *person* can learn from it.
– It needs very few time to create changes using AI, it needs much time for people in the community to assess whether the changes are good.

KLAXXON! #SOURCE issue 4 "Airwaves and Airplanes" is out! Good grief that's taken a while! Anyway in this issue we have a beginners tutorial for the fabulous @gnuradio we also get started with #OpenVSP which is #NASA's #opensource vehicle sketchbook and it's rounded out with a look at a new @FreeCAD workbench, Detessellate which helps reverse engineer Mesh to #CAD files. We've also tweaked a few things on the website! https://sourcemag.co.uk/

Are you working on a project or do you have expertise worth sharing, but the content doesn't fit into any of the #DevConf_CZ 2026 tracks? We’ve got you covered!

The Open Track welcomes all other #OpenSource presentations, student projects, theses, as well as examples of #OpenSource initiatives in the public sector, or any #UX and #design topics.

Let us be part of your journey from zero to a successful open source project, and submit your proposal now! https://pretalx.devconf.info/devconf-cz-2026/cfp

Google hat angekündigt, dass ab September 2026 unabhängige Entwickler keine Apps mehr für Android bereitstellen können, wenn sie nicht:

* eine Gebühr an Google zahlen
* den Nutzungsbedingungen von Google zustimmen
* einen amtlichen Ausweis vorlegen
* den Nachweis über den privaten Signaturschlüssel des Entwicklers hochladen
* eine Liste aller aktuellen und zukünftigen App-Kennungen bereitstellen

Damit wird vor allem "entgoogleten" Plattformen und Apps die Teilhabe an Android als marktdominierendem Produkt erschwert, wenn nicht sogar unmöglich gemacht.

A nice run-down of open-source tools for designers, via @piccalilli.

"[...] the first few months of planning the course revolved around breaking out of the Figma ecosystem and putting as many free and open source tools to the test as we could. Now, the fact this article exists shows that we succeeded on that front, but what I honestly didn’t expect was that the experience would be so good (and honestly quite liberating) that I’d actually be switching my whole design setup to free and open source tools."

#OpenSource #NoAI #programming

This morning I got an email from a sender that identified itself as an AI agent.

So - plus for being upfront about it, but... please don't do this.

I get that a lot of people are really, really, really into AI tools. OK. I have my opinions on them, you have yours. I have major qualms about them, some people think they're the best thing ever.

OK. Fine. But when your use of these things spills over into the rest of the world, it's no longer a question of my opinion vs. your opinion, my decisions vs. your decisions.

At this point, things have moved from each person doing their own thing to inflicting your use of AI onto me without my consent.

Before this spirals out of control, which I can see happening *very* quickly, I'd like for us to agree on a piece of netiquette:

- it is rude in the extreme to set loose an AI agent to reach out to people who have not consented to interact with these things.

- it is rude to have an AI agent submit pull requests that human maintainers have to review.

- it is rude to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans in any way when they have not consented to take part in whatever experiment you are running.

- it is unacceptable to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans without identifying the person or organization behind the agent. If you're not willing to unmask and have a person reach out to you with their thoughts on this, then don't have an AI agent reach out to me.

Stuff like this really sours me on technology right now. If I didn't have a family and responsibilities, I'd be seriously considering how I could go live off the grid somewhere without having to interact with this stuff.

Again: I'm not demanding that other people not use AI/LLMs, etc. But when your use spills out into my having to have interactions with an agent's output, you need to reconsider. Your ability to spew things out into the universe puts an unwanted burden on other humans who have not consented to this.

I have no words to thank everyone for helping yesterday.

Great news: Yesterday on the omg.lol IRC server, folks investigated and discovered the GitHub account was part of a network of bots. These bots republish open source projects, modifying their READMEs with malicious links, and distribute Windows malware through fake builds.

After documenting the findings, we reported everything to GitHub. Within hours, they took down the repositories and an account for violating their Terms and Code of Conduct.

Thank you for investigating, reporting, and sending coffee. You're all amazing!

I planned to write a blog post today, but @brennan already wrote something better than I could. You should read it:

I've been thinking about building my first desktop app, and one of the ideas is giving people something to do with all of the various "download your data" options from LinkedIn, Google, your Twitter Archive, etc. I know there's the Twitter Archive 11ty project, but I thought there was an effort several years ago for something like this but I can't think of the name or who was involved - does it ring any bells? I'd love to talk to folks who've tried this before - especially if there are wheels here that don't need reinventing that I haven't found yet.

The idea would be something normies can use that gives them the instructions for how to request their archive and then a place to drag and drop it, a way to sync it for storage they already have, and something to DO with that data (digital memoir, some publishing it somewhere option, etc).

@thorstenzoeller

Thank you for your reaction. We both love the choice we have in the flavour of Vim we can run.

When I started with BBS debugging and management many, many decades ago, I felt blessed that with the Waffle BBS port to dos a port of vi was also included. It did not help me on the Amiga 500 I {still} have, but of course there was a vi implementation on the Amiga too. I did not know that Bram (had written / was writing VIM already).
The POTS phone lines were horrific in my country (SR / SA) so vi was the only usuable editor to work on the BBS back and front end, since I only had a 2400BPS modem on that machine.
In the beginning I mostly used `:i` entered my text in config files and <ESC> as fast as possible to make sure crappy characters did not get into my files, then did `:wq` to exit

When I later learned about Bram Molenaar's awsome creation of VIM I was hooked.
IMHO everyone should learn VIM / vi basic editing since vi will always be installed on a Open Source OS.

I can understand why you love neoVIM. What's important is that you have choice and a smooth workflow covering decades

Have fun!

Vim v9.2 is released. There are many magnífico features I look forward to use. VIM is a Swiss Army Knife for editing Source Code & text.

The features are too many to mention, no really I don't know them all; NOBODY DOES!
Just like with the GiMP I know the functions I need and learn more when the requirement arizes. VIM has an extensive help system which Bram Molenaar et all developed over the decades that VIM exists.

History
VIM was initially coded on the Amiga computer systems of which I own an A4000T with a Cyberstorm 060 and Max Ram, with RTG card (Picasso 96), a A1200 vanilla with a stock HDD & an A500 with stock RAM (chip and fast) and 3 FDD 2x 3.5" 1x 5 1/4"

Bram wrote VIM in such a way that it runs on the A500 with just 512kB RAM!

There are people who love EMACS. To them I say

<flame bait>
EMACS can't hold a candle to VIM
</flame bait>

Of course that is just humour. In the Open Source world choice is what makes us all work and play well on whatever hardware we have with whatever tools we love

New Features in Vim 9.2

Comprehensive Completion: Added support for fuzzy matching during insert-mode completion and the ability to complete words directly from registers (CTRL-X CTRL-R). New 'completeopt' flags like nosort and nearest offer finer control over how matches are displayed and ordered.
Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.
UI Enhancements: A new vertical tabpanel provides an alternative to the horizontal tabline. The MS-Windows GUI now supports native dark mode for the menu and title bars, along with improved fullscreen support and higher-quality toolbar icons.
Interactive Learning: A new built-in interactive tutor plugin (started via :Tutor) provides a modernized learning experience beyond the traditional vimtutor.

Vim9 Script Ecosystem & AI Integration

The maturity of Vim9 script's modern constructs is now being leveraged by advanced AI development tools. Contributor Yegappan Lakshmanan recently demonstrated the efficacy of these new features through two projects generated using GitHub Copilot:

Battleship in Vim9: A complete implementation of the classic game, showcasing classes and type aliases. [GitHub]
Number Puzzle: A logic game demonstrating the efficiency of modern Vim9 for interactive plugins. [GitHub]

^Z

I wonder why they have LLM support?

Note
The download page looks horrible on mobile so you'd be wise to view it on desktop

If this is your first time using VIM and you didn't bother to read the help file with `:h`
Just exit VIM type `:wq` to write & exit or type `:q!` to exit without saving the file

A person just “stole” Triton, my native omg.lol client, and removed all the references from the README file where I ask people to reference the original project and give me credit for the app.

They didn’t fork it, so that people don’t realize it’s a fork of another project.

They also changed their README file to point to their own zip file, which I’m not downloading, and neither should you. I don’t know what’s in it.

They even created a website, hosted on GitHub Pages, for it, with a link to their “builds.”

That pisses me off. Really. I spent years building the app. I put a lot of my personal time into building it for me and for the community, only for someone to steal it as theirs, publish builds, and wipe my name from it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Help me with a Star on the original project to keep it higher in search results. Thanks!

"Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software."

Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further...

"The company [Google] warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness. "

Yeah. For Google itself it can definitely "harm [their] competetiveness".

"According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth."

Correct again, if you ARE Google. If everyone start using open-source alternatives it will most likely not contribute to Googles economic growth.

It quite likely will contribute to economic growth for a bunch of smaller/new companies. It will also open the playing field for software development which still being possible for anyone to verify/test/check/view the source code to ensure there are no flaws in there, or algorithms for tracking people based on advertising goals.

They are kind of correct too in that it will probably cause a temporary set-back in economic growth for all those companies that live under the illusion of "there should always be growth and we will do anything to make that happen", but I consider that a good thing. When that speed bump has been passed there will be an opportunity to do a controlled/reasonable acceleration.

Given that Google has removed the "Don't be evil" from their Mission Statement, for unknown reason, I think it is wise, for many different reasons, to cut down on the dependence on Google (and Microsoft, Facebook etc), and to look at alternatives. Ideally open-source ones that can be scrutinized by anyone who wishes to do so.

They are kind of correct too in that it will probably cause a temporary set-back in economic growth for all those companies that live under the illusion of "there should always be growth and we will do anything to make that happen", but I consider that a good thing. When that speed bump has been passed there will be an opportunity to do a controlled/reasonable acceleration.

Given that Google has removed the "Don't be evil" from their Mission Statement, for unknown reason, I think it is wise, for many different reasons, to cut down on the dependence on Google (and Microsoft, Facebook etc), and to look at alternatives. Ideally open-source ones that can be scrutinized by anyone who wishes to do so.

Happy #ilovefs #ilovefreesoftwareday!

Switching to #opensource is the best thing you can gift your organization, your colleagues, your users, and us, the citizens.

This is a hard work, but necessary work. You're not just migrating software - you're building democracy and freedom for future generations.

In case you would like to learn more about leading change from closed source to #FOSS, I shared my best practices recently with the audience at #fosdem https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7YMJST-how-to-lead-change-to-open-source/

I’m thrilled to see this feature from GitHub: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-02-13-new-repository-settings-for-configuring-pull-request-access/

Tl;dr it is now possible for repositories to disable pull requests entirely, or to restrict them to collaborators only. #OpenSource

Digital sovereignty requires #FreeSoftware.

What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it. A stack is sovereign only if it is 100% #FreeSoftware, guaranteeing data sovereignty, the ability to adapt and switch providers, and full transparency.

Our Dutch gov delegation had a great work visit in @landesregierung and learned a lot about Schleswig-Holstein's #opensource journey. 🔥

These lessons will be integrated into our own #digitalsovereignty strategy. We'll also keep collaborating with SH, Germany and France to work towards a sovereign workspace.

Thanks again @digitalhubsh for organizing!! 🇩🇪🥨

The European Union surpassed the United States as the first source of pushes to public Git repositories on GitHub, and that doesn't count the alternatives like Gitlab and Codeberg where I assume there's an even larger fraction of European contributions.

Routinator, our RPKI validation software, now sees more than 1000 Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) objects in the wild. These are published by operators to detect and prevent BGP route leaks.

ASPAs can be created in the hosted RPKI services of the RIPE NCC and ARIN, as well as our open-source RPKI Certification Authority software, Krill.

Open-source routing projects such as BIRD, OpenBGPD and FRRouting already offer support for ASPA, while major commercial vendor support is expected later this year.

#ReleaseThursday 🎉 Just pushed a new version of the https://thi.ng/column-store database and query engine which adds support for new column types (fixed-size n-dimensional int/uint/float vectors) and RLE (run-length encoding) compression support for more column types. I also updated/extended the readme and started adding/porting more tests...

Related to these changes is that https://thi.ng/rle-pack now also offers the `encodeSimple()`/`decodeSimple()` functions which work for arrays of any type. This is in addition to the more advanced bitwise RLE packing offered so far (but only available for integer arrays). The readme for that package also has more code examples now...

Happy Coding! :)

@osi The shift toward an EU Sovereign Tech Fund is a massive strategic move. But if this model shapes 'open source practice worldwide,' how do we ensure it doesn't just become a state-sponsored 'wrapper' for corporate infrastructure?

Can the EU-STF model provide actual Metabolic Insulation for the fundamental code—ensuring that the core developers are funded directly as a commons, rather than just as a 'resilience asset' for industrial users? #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource #EUSTF
