Unsere Regierung und Industrie müssen endlich aufwachen. Recht viel deutlicher kann die US-Regierung ihr Ziel, die europäische Einheit und Wirtschaft zu torpedieren, nicht formulieren.
Z. B.: "US-Diplomaten wird dabei die Aufgabe zugewiesen, im Sinne der amerikanischen Tech-Oligarchen Lobbyarbeit zu leisten, um deren Einfluss abzusichern und alternative, souveräne Lösungen nach Möglichkeit gar nicht erst entstehen zu lassen."

Georges livestreamed himself reviewing and merging accessibility contributions in GNOME Calendar again, specifically the entirety of merge request !564, which introduces keyboard-navigable month cells. This means, as of GNOME 50, GNOME Calendar's month view will be fully navigable with a keyboard for the first time in its history! The only high-level goal that needs work now is conveying these information with assistive technologies properly.
Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:
- When tabbing between events, focus moves chronologically. This means that focus continues to move down until there are no event widgets overlaying the current cell. Then, focus moves to the topmost event widget in the next cell or row. Tabbing backwards with Shift+Tab moves in the opposite direction.
- On the last event widget, pressing Tab moves the focus to the adjacent month cell. Conversely, pressing Ctrl+Tab on any event widget has the same effect.
- Pressing an activation button (such as Enter or Space) displays the popover for creating an event. Additionally, pressing and holding the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys selects every cell between the start and end positions until the Shift key is released, which displays the popover with the selected range.
Both merge requests !564 and !598 took us almost an entire year to explore various approaches and finally settle on the best one for our use case. Everything was done voluntarily, relying solely on support from donors and those who share these posts, without any financial backing from other entities. In contrast, most, if not all, calendar apps backed by trillion-dollar companies still don't offer proper keyboard navigation across their views. In many cases, they haven't even reached feature parity. If it is not too much trouble, please consider funding my accessibility work on GNOME. Thank you! ♥️

I'm inclined to believe that it is indeed the people who don't understand technology (specifically: they think that everything works like their smart 'phone or Microsoft Windows 11 PC do) making policy; or that they did understand the technology and were just crap at drafting legislation such that it could distinguish the Microsoft Store, Google Play, the Apple App Store, et al. from #Ubuntu's package repository and #OpenBSD's ports tree.
And that distinguishing criterion is not #FreeSoftware. Given the aims, the #California legislators would want #FDroid to be required to hand over #AgeVerification data to free-software apps that F-Droid allows, that themselves want to impose age restrictions (on, say, showing certain content to minors) via the route of getting the account holder's age (bracket) information from the operating system via a 'signal' from the 'store'.
@JdeBP@mastodonapp.uk · Reply to MontyOnTheRun's post
The definitions are broad, so to quite an extent they would. There are users, who have accounts, on general purpose computers, and run applications.
The only hope for #mainframes seems to be that they likely don't have things that fit the definition of a 'covered application store'.
But they might; especially if the mainframe is nowadays running a Linux-based operating system.
http://linuxvm.org/info/distros.html
#Debian and #Ubuntu have package repositories for s390x, for example. Such a repository is a 'publicly available internet website […] that distributes and facilitates the download of applications'.
Here's one way how the naughty 16-year-olds in #California would download rustc onto such a mainframe with no #AgeVerification, for example:
@JdeBP@mastodonapp.uk · Reply to JdeBP's post
I foresee:
1. #Debian eventually following #MidnightBSD's lead and cutting #California off from #FreeSoftware; after lengthy mailing list discussions where at least one person tries to deny with convoluted nonsense the plain reading of the statute.
1. A storm when someone points out that the #MobaXTerm version of APT isn't exempt, nor is RPM. (Goodness knows what IBM is going to do.)
1. An even bigger storm when someone adds an 'age' field to systemd's JSON User Records, to be enforced and served out over Desktop Bus via a systemd-aged service or some such. Much fun if that someone comes from a #GDPR country.
1. Some nutter taking a Linux distribution to court because it doesn't enable developers to control whether 16-year-olds can install rustc and busybox.

They have assumed that all operating systems are like Microsoft Windows 11, Android, or iOS; and have written legislation for operating systems where people download glorified WWW client 'apps', from 'stores', which use 'accounts' that they have with vendors or Microsoft/Google/Apple.
But the legislation *as worded* *also* covers everything from #Debian and #Ubuntu through #Arch Linux and #MobaXTerm to #FreeBSD and #NetBSD and #OpenBSD; where users anonymously use package managers or ports systems to install applications, written by developers, on operating systems, from 'publicly available internet website' repositories.
There is no age field in the GECOS data in master.passwd(5) of course, and the reality is that no BSD or Linux-based operating system has this concept of apps/stores/accounts.

1/2 California enacted Digital Age Verification Law AB-1043. Colorado may soon follow suit as may other countries and other US states. Some Free operating systems (from #MidnightBSD to a Free calculator OS) are responding by excluding usage of those operating systems in locations with digital age verification laws.

Let's zoom in on a particular area of the commons: the #FreeSoftware movement and their #FOSS deliverables, where a strong #WorkingInPublic credo dominates. The noble focus is on offering open technologies, software and systems. But in their quest to uphold #SoftwareFreedom the overlooked aspect is #sustainability. The ability to not only sustain oneself, but also by extension the creative #commons one is part of. The commons is an entirely chaotic grassroots environment with very specific social dynamics that are not properly accounted for. Instead top-down "herding of cats" governance models that work in regular business environments, are attempted. These may work, but only in small organizational settings, and NOT at scale where they break down.
FOSS in this definition is NOT commons-based. For that we need #ChaordicCommons where FOSS is the deliverable and #SOSS initiatives the engines of delivery, #FSDL (Free software development lifecycle) supply chains.

I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.
It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.
This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

@cwebber This is disgusting and btw, also an indirect attack on #FreeSoftware if I read this right.
Computers should be under the control of the user, NOT of random corporations or the state.
I don't care if this law is probably going to not even work as intended because of shoddy implementation. The state may be tech illiterate but it DOES know how to punish people.
Fuck that shit. I hope this law will FAIL badly.

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 feedback on the second #DeutschlandStack consultation:

📄 This survey gathers input on how voluntary security attestation programmes for #FreeSoftware could work under Article 25 of the #CyberResilienceAct.
There are 27 questions (no need to answer all of them) plus additional thoughts in the free field are more than welcome
Please respond until 28 February! Don't forget to share

Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation.
We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketOS so that it can continue to scale up and be a truly community-run project.
We have some idea of how co-ops like Igalia do this, but we have a lot of differences (like being largely volunteer run and having very different goals) which leave us with a lot of unknowns.
To give an example of the kind of structure we're thinking of (by no means final, there hasn't been any broad agreement on a new structure yet):
We have the relevant pieces in place to form an assembly (everyone listed on https://postmarketos.org/team/ ) which could then democratically form teams and delegate responsibilities to them (e.g. finance/budget, technical policy-making, maintainers for various OS components).
The assembly would then also be responsible for deciding on focus areas and long term goals for the project (e.g. improving reliability, building a production-ready immutable version of the distro)
We could then form working groups to enable cross-team collaboration to move towards our specific goals.
Currently we lack a lot of understanding of the potential implications of something like this, how we can ensure the project doesn't get hijacked, that we don't drift too far from our mission statement, etc etc...
If you have a background in sociology and/or relevant experience from other projects then I would love to reach out and be able to discuss this in more detail!

Dear hivemind,
I'm looking for some survey form system that allows me to take a tablet somewhere without internet access, fill the form, and then the system syncs the answers to the backend when the tablet regains Internet access.
I know Redcap does it, but I was thinking of something more open?

Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation.
We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketOS so that it can continue to scale up and be a truly community-run project.
We have some idea of how co-ops like Igalia do this, but we have a lot of differences (like being largely volunteer run and having very different goals) which leave us with a lot of unknowns.
To give an example of the kind of structure we're thinking of (by no means final, there hasn't been any broad agreement on a new structure yet):
We have the relevant pieces in place to form an assembly (everyone listed on https://postmarketos.org/team/ ) which could then democratically form teams and delegate responsibilities to them (e.g. finance/budget, technical policy-making, maintainers for various OS components).
The assembly would then also be responsible for deciding on focus areas and long term goals for the project (e.g. improving reliability, building a production-ready immutable version of the distro)
We could then form working groups to enable cross-team collaboration to move towards our specific goals.
Currently we lack a lot of understanding of the potential implications of something like this, how we can ensure the project doesn't get hijacked, that we don't drift too far from our mission statement, etc etc...
If you have a background in sociology and/or relevant experience from other projects then I would love to reach out and be able to discuss this in more detail!

@mcc "You don't use open source software because it's better (it usually isn't)." Define better. Anyway. I'm sure there will be a ton of slop generators ready to fill the gap made thousands of creators having had their toolbox evaporate. Fortunately there is #libre, #freesoftware and the more folks that create with it, the "better" (whatever that means) it will get. #Krita, #Blender, #OBS, #Godot etc.
@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social · Reply to Giacomo Tesio's post
@giacomo I am dying to know what OSI's and FSF's opinion on the #HackingLicense are and whether it will get an "official stamp of approval". FSF seems to have not given an opinion on it yet, can't find what OSI said about it.
Why do you think it counts as #FreeSoftware license but not as #OpenSource license?
I find the license amusing, it apparenly grants me the right to EVERY copyrighted work? 😂 If only it were that simple …
I'm not sure if I like or dislike this license tbh.

AFAIK, the Threema client is #freeSoftware. With the code it should be possible to create a puppeteering bridge, as #Slidge by @nicoco already does with Signal, Telegram, and Whatsapp. I.e. users still would need a Threema account and could use their #Jabber client to access it. Real federation is not possible, IMHO.
You need to know #Python and #slixmpp to write a new Slidge based bridge. I'm sure, there is a lot of interest in a Threema one!

I'm a software developer with 40 years' professional experience, lucky enough to be considering early retirement. I love writing code and don't want to stop. I'm keen to give something back and contribute to one or more open source projects.
The questions are, to what shall I contribute, and how do I get started?
My skills are mainly C++, having spent much of the past decade programmatically dismantling and reassembling Microsoft Office files. I'm quite happy to learn Rust or Go, but don't really like webby front-endy ux stuff.
Any suggestions for a worthy project to which I could contribute? Please boost if you can.

Just placed an order for a new prototype PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for makers. This one charges NiMH (Nickel-metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries with charging speed options, support for up to 6 cells, temperature sensor, and USB-C plug.
This is a step toward our first accessibility product for blind people to feel visual art through a haptic pen-like stylus interface.

I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.
I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.
I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

Hey fediverse #nonprofit people,
I've got a project (missionlibre.org), which is meant to bring kids aged 11-14 into #freesoftware. No part of it has been easy -- not practically, not personally.
I think Mission:Libre is wonderful, but I'm struggling: it's an odd little project in a complicated situation and I'm trying to find a way forward. I could really use an ear and some practical advice from someone with experience. Are you able to help me?

Luckily this 👁️ focus shift is slowly gaining a foothold within #FOSS circles. Driven by the sheer unsustainability and unhealthy, unproductive collaboration environments - characterized by the infamous telltale stories of deep disillusionment and often burnout crises of former passionado's leaving the field.
"Show them and they will come" just isn't true. #CodingIsSocial and is a 💃🕺 choreographed dance of #people and balaning their needs, until a #FreeSoftware artifact rolls from the pipeline.

@b0rk Adding to @karen's answer:
I have really tried to move on in #FreeSoftware culture (as much as I'm able) from the idea that computer users do something wrong by merely using proprietary software.
Just using proprietary software is not an affront to software freedom. Marketing proprietary software, getting users trapped into monthly licensing agreements, etc. are the bad acts, & if someone gets trapped in a proprietary agreement, we should help them, not berate them!

Did you know that #Abbott caused the deaths of seven diabetics this year?
Some of Abbott's continuous glucose monitors (ironically named the #FreeStyle #Libre 3 Plus) incorrectly reported low blood sugar — a grave & dangerous error for insulin-dependent #diabetes. I fortunately wasn't injured, but Abbott's refusal to allow public examination the technical details of their devices is tantamount to a cover-up.

To the North-Korean liberation movement, refusing to rescue dissidents, on sheer principle, because Kim-Jong Un is still in proprietary power. Instead they build a big fat signpost at the border, saying "Come here, it is the better choice!"

After several years, I finally found a #FreeSoftware workout timer for #Android which is comparable to my standalone timer I used for ages. Here the @fdroidorg link:
https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.deweyreed.timer.other/
It is simple, fast to configure, and fixes one of the blockers I had with other apps before: I can listen to music, and get just brief audio notification about the next interval. Over the last months I could now travel without packing a separate timer and batteries.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/115730529166857536
For a long time, #GitHub was the dominant hosting platform for #FOSS (#OpenSource and #FreeSoftware), and #Bitbucket tried to compete with them.
Looks like both companies are determined to end this era:
First, GitHub started shoving all this AI crap down people's throats. Realizing they probably haven't alienated *everyone* in the FOSS community yet, they now decided to charge money for CI/CD even if you run the build runner on your own machine.
Source: see the quoted post
Meanwhile, #Atlassian gets creative as well: Bitbucket will no longer support forking repos to other projects, and this prevents outsiders from contributing easily to projects. They say the change helps with enterprise features like data residency. That may be true, but I say it also means "goodbye, FOSS".
I guess @Codeberg and other non-commercial #Forge|s should start preparing for a large influx of FOSS projects that flee from these #enshittification platforms.
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io
GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol

The #FreeSoftware movement does not win, because it doesn't *play to win*, and will thus always draw the shortest stick. 🤷

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/115730529166857536
For a long time, #GitHub was the dominant hosting platform for #FOSS (#OpenSource and #FreeSoftware), and #Bitbucket tried to compete with them.
Looks like both companies are determined to end this era:
First, GitHub started shoving all this AI crap down people's throats. Realizing they probably haven't alienated *everyone* in the FOSS community yet, they now decided to charge money for CI/CD even if you run the build runner on your own machine.
Source: see the quoted post
Meanwhile, #Atlassian gets creative as well: Bitbucket will no longer support forking repos to other projects, and this prevents outsiders from contributing easily to projects. They say the change helps with enterprise features like data residency. That may be true, but I say it also means "goodbye, FOSS".
I guess @Codeberg and other non-commercial #Forge|s should start preparing for a large influx of FOSS projects that flee from these #enshittification platforms.
@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io
GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol

#FreeSoftware world is rich with many realms to wander. Coding adventures ahead there is wizardry, and weird religious quests.
#FOSS has their own shrines and temples where devs and maintainer pilgrims visit and pray for humble gifts from Heaven. They are the FOSS service providers and funding institutions that dot the landscape. Often far away and mystic. Dealing out breadcrumbs and tokens to keep believers fed and happy, faith held high.
They do their best!

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.
Day 12:
Gwenview
For this list, I've been trying to focus not so much on the most exciting applications as the ones I use so often I forget they exist -- and Gwenview definitely fits in that category. I literally use it every day.
It's an image/multimedia browsing utility. Ostensibly for KDE, although I routinely use it in XFCE.
In any case, it's very low-maintenance and the fastest way for me to check out a tree of images -- whether they're PR collections or a series of frames in a PNG stream. Helps a lot when I'm looking for an image and can't quite remember what I called the file.
I've tried some other image browsing apps, but this is the one I keep coming back to.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.
Day 9:
YunoHost
This is technically more of a distribution than an individual software. There's a portal, and a large volunteer packaging effort to create apps for it. And a large catalog of applications already packaged.
I definitely rely on it. So I'm counting it.
YunoHost is how I have Wordpress (which I've already mentioned) installed -- along with other software I haven't got to yet.
It is based on Debian Linux: a particular install with applications already configured to work on it, pretty close to "plug and play". It's like the packaging systems for Linux desktop systems -- but for the Internet.
It makes managing a web application site SO much easier. I decided to adopt it as the basis of my "virtual studio" instead of trying to write something new.

Free Software that I rely on. One per day.
Day 8:
Blender
This one's a gimme. Blender is the single most important free software tool in my project toolbox.
Weirdly, I still use Blender 2.79, because I built my project on the "Blender Internal" render which they removed in 2.8 (more about that in a comment). Meanwhile Blender is on at least v4 now.
I'm sure you've heard of it, but you may not realize Blender's full scope. It is designed to be a complete 3D animation suite in one package:
* 3D surface modeler
* Materials editor, shader, rendering engine
* 3D armature & shape key animation
* 2D annotations
* 2D "grease pencil" animation tool
* video clip editor with rotoscoping and tracking for VFX work
* video sequence editor for editing clips together
It is pretty complete, and many people have made animated films entirely in Blender, although it can also be integrated into a pipeline with other tools, as I've done on Lunatics Project.
It's popular with indy film makers and Hollywood alike.

Day 7:
ImageMagick
This is actually a small suite of tools that can be used from the command line, although it also has a GUI interface. Pretty old school software; been around for ages; still very handy.
Not as powerful as Gimp or Krita for manipulating a single image, but with ImageMagick and a bash script you can make changes en masse ("convert" and "mogrify" -- which does the job in place). You can quickly check the format and size of images from the command line ("identify") or simply pop up the image with "display".
Finally, with "compose" you can make an image combining multiple images in many different ways, including making a grid with or without labels.
I don't use it as much as I used to, but it is still the simplest way to check image content from the command line. And it's really the only option when you need to change a whole lot of images at once.
Also often used on server back ends to manipulate images for display in web applications.

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.
Please only sign the petition if you're a legal resident of Germany.

Here is an old prototype I made with #UnrealEngine showing some ideas. I've now switched to #Godot, which means I'm basically starting over. But Godot is really more aligned with my values, objectives and constraints (#FreeSoftware game, compatible with old hardware, slow development).
Now that I have a basic landscape and water system, my next focus will be to implement the construction mechanics in the Godot game.
The code is here if anyone is interested https://git.engineer-game.org/Engineer/Engineer

Our fundraiser to "Sustain and Strengthen" GNU Guix has been running for a month. Time for a post on how we're doing:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2025/update-on-the-guix-fundraising/
We're at about 40% (€6562) of our €15000 annual goal. And, over 100 people have become recurring supporters - pledging between €10-€30 each month. This is a great start and we really appreciate everyone who's donated to Guix! 🙏
People have contributed through both our @fsf hosted funds and through Guix Foundation. Every donation help!
Excited to see how it goes through the next few weeks and what it means for the projects sustainability. 💪

Nothing in Commons: the end of digital collective ownership?
I'm sharing a new text where I try to summarize some older thoughts that have been slowly fermenting in the past years regarding the dead-end in which the digital commons have landed. I discuss the discomfort of their growing ambivalence, and the incredible difficulty, but urgency to move forward beyond this concept and rethink collective objectives in relation to digital tools and practices.
It is the follow-up of a copyleft/copyright/copywhat licensing workshop I gave at https://spookstad.boo. Amsterdam Alternative asked me to contribute an essay on the digital commons based on some of the topics discussed in the workshop for their web docu on collective ownership.
The text is also available in Dutch, thanks to a translation by Menno Grootveld from Starfish Books.

I took a bye last month on account of it being the busiest week of my life, but I'm back with two #50forFOSS donations this month to make up for it. It's a double feature!
Psst...#50forFOSS is a monthly community pledge. If you want to join in, just pick a free/open-source project you appreciate and send 'em some cash. $50 is suggested, but any amount is great.

I’ve got a better idea how to "declutter" Windows 11: Not using Windows. 🤯
Seriously, it's getting ridiculous at this point with how much shit #Microsoft believes it can get away with.
Also, I love the notion that we're supposed to just accept that Windows ships with #bullshit by default. 🙃

#PSA: If you want to release anything under a #CreativeCommons license, like CC BY (Attribution), ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS specify the version.
This is very important because each version is a different #license. If the version is missing, this creates a needless legal uncertainty for people who want to use your work.

#PSA: If you want to release anything under a #CreativeCommons license, like CC BY (Attribution), ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS specify the version.
This is very important because each version is a different #license. If the version is missing, this creates a needless legal uncertainty for people who want to use your work.

@fdroidorg has religious convictions now. They reject Islam, Christianity and Judaism. I thought an app store shouldn't enforce its own religious beliefs on others.

Today's AWS debacle is the perfect example of the reason why in the last few years I started to be less enthusiastic about Signal, and more oriented to federated or even P2P solutions like XMPP and Jami. I wrote about it already:
https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025
Signal was down for few hours today, after an aoutage that affected AWS:
https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115405436746725236
Let's ignore for a second the blind reliance on AWS or any other cloud provider. In a decentralized system, this would not have happened, or at least it would have not impacted so many users.
Yes, I am a cryptographer myself, I know that Signal's encryption is the best. But encryption is not everything. Availability issues, geopolitical troubles, risk of enshittification, limitations on users' freedom to use and control the software lead to a lack of trust, even in a supersecure solution. And I say that with honest admiration for the folks at Signal, who are doing a great job.
May they prove me wrong over and over again.

Is there a name or concept for when something becomes "mainstream", or the norm, it stops being "political"?
I'm wondering if one of the reasons why some people retain the position "keep politics out of F/OSS" is because FOSS "won"? It becomes the norm and people stop considering it to be political movement?

I feel for this user - I’m a fellow ADHD sufferer and their distress is all too clear to me - and I tried to help them in the replies.
But on the other hand, I’m utterly enraged at the broader problem, and all the people who aren’t taking action today, choosing instead to wait until the water is past their neck.
This is the latest example of why we shouldn’t use #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted and #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.
There’s a whole-ass history of centralized platforms having the same class of issues. When are y’all gonna stop ignoring the problem and start exercising the power you have?
It’s as simple as quitting centralized platforms, switching to #FreedomRespecting #decentralized platforms like #ActivityPub and #XMPP, and telling others to do the same.
Create your communities there, and tell others about them. Move all your activity there. Onboard your friends and family. When there’s no other way to reach you, they will move.
Keep up the social pressure, and never relent.
Here’s a user’s guide to XMPP, for whoever needs it.
And developers? Get involved, improve the protocols, the clients, the servers…heck, I’m pretty sure a lot of features and fixes are popular/longstanding enough to make it feasible to crowdfund your patches!

I wonder if we should have #GPL 4 that would cover machine learning. Something like "if this code is used to train an LLM, then the code produced by the LLM must be released under the same license". I know there are many challenges, such as effective enforcement, but if this issue remains unaddressed, I believe LLMs may become a way to evade license virality.

👋 Hello! GNU Guix is on @hachyderm - yay!
If you haven't heard of #gnu #guix we're a free software project that's created a hosted package manager (think homebrew or flatpak) and a GNU/Linux distribution.
GNU Guix uses the functional packaging approach pioneered by #nix and adds a user-experience and system configuration system. It uses a DSL that's based on Guile Scheme. You can use it configure your home environment, dev environments or the entire system using a declarative and transactional definition.
We hope to tell people about the project and our latest news. We'd love to engage with people around #freesoftware #guile #scheme and more general #linux topics!

I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.
Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.
To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.
Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.
Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.
To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -
So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask…
How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?
What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?
They don’t like answering these questions.
Instead, I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them.
Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.
People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

Why #FreeSoftware for public services?
✅ Ensures transparency 📖
✅ Avoids dependency on single vendors 🔄
✅ Allows collaboration & improvement 🤝
✅ Saves money in the long run 💰
Taxpayer-funded software should be for the public
Public Money? Public Code!

Taxpayer money should benefit society! 💪
Public administrations rely on software to serve society. When that software is funded with public money, it should be #FreeSoftware

I had been wondering for some time if I was going about things the wrong way by doing #OpenStreetMap workshops (where I teach people to use iD) at #FOSS meetups and conferences.
While I’d also try to cover why #OSM is important and how to use it, most of the time was taken up in learning to edit…which seemed backward. Why would someone continue editing afterwards if they weren’t convinced of the importance of the project?
There was also another thought stewing in my head…most of the people who have attended our mapping parties, and all the people who are regular participants, are all big on #SoftwareFreedom and #privacy. Maybe we should try focusing more on software freedom, and promote OSM in that context?
With these ideas in mind and after discussions with @ravi, I decided to prepare a new talk - one focused on getting people to use some #Libre map apps (CoMaps, OsmAnd, and OsmApp). If we can convince people to do that, they’ll probably also start contributing data, and participating in mapping parties…
This time, I added a lot more screenshots in the hope of providing a more engaging experience. I’ve also been burned by conference WiFi all too often, so this time I made many screen capture videos instead of demonstrating websites or applications live.
I gave the talk at today’s FOSS Meetup Delhi. It was far from perfect, but at least I got a clear path towards improving it - I need to cut down the run time and some irrelevant content, so I can present it in 15 to 30 minutes depending on the situation. And of course, there are still more screenshots and video demos to be added.
(All presentations made with #Emacs , #OrgMode , and #RevealJS )
This time I also made sure to arrive early so I could understand how to extend the display using the projector, and use RevealJS’s speaker view. That way, I was able to use the slides to guide me without giving away what I was about to say, and I could speak first and let the slide summarize it afterwards.
Relying on the laptop to act as a teleprompter has its drawbacks, though…you want to be focused on the audience, not the screen. And you want to be free to move around…

Given that #OpenSource Initiative endorses election tampering, surely it's ok in #FOSS for all purposes — #OSAID related or not.

BTW, I'm amazed #OSI tampered w/ an election when the person w/ the longest political memory in FOSS was a candidate. I am — if nothing else — the most persistent person in #FreeSoftware. ☺

Deregulation/lack-of-regulation will bring more of this. ∃ plenty of blame to go around, but #Microsoft & #GitHub deserve the bulk of it; they trailblazed the idea that FOSS code-hosting sites are lucrative targets.

With pull request #50 the Schemacs Elisp interpreter is now able to load all of two very important Emacs Lisp source files:
…which are two files that define most of what you could call the the Emacs Lisp “core” language (by which I mean macros like defun and lambda).
With these files now loaded, I can proceed to the next task, which is implementing enough of the C-level built-in functions in Scheme to be able to run ./lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el, which is in-turn one of the dependencies for running the Emacs Regression Tests (ERT) suite.
Once ERT is up and running, it will be much easier for anyone to contribute code to this project as you will just be able to pick a failing regression test and write whatever code is necessary to make it pass.

Die Bilanz von Schwarz-Rot nach 100 Tagen ist enttäuschend: Das Vergabegesetz verpasst es, Tech-Souveränität durch Freie Software zu sichern. Beim „Deutschland-Stack“ fehlen EU-Abstimmung und Transparenz. Keine verlässliche, langfristige Finanzierung für Freie Software.
„Public Money? Public Code!“ muss endlich zur Regel werden: Öffentlich finanzierte Software muss Freie Software sein! Die Zeit zu handeln ist jetzt!

#XMPP is the universal communication protocol, used for #IoT, #WebRTC, gaming, social, and #instantMessaging.
#Jabber is the latter in an open and federated network.
#CiscoJabber™ is a product by Cisco.

I’ve been cross-posting to both Mastodon and Facebook lately. I’m also in the process of resurrecting my blog.
Why? Because I care about open standards, user privacy, and the freedom to use, modify, and share software. These are values I try to support in the platforms I use. They also align with the work of the Free Software Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, two organizations I support.
That said, for better or worse, most of my friends are still on Facebook—so I’m trying a hybrid approach: cross-posting, experimenting, and seeing what works.

Tonight, I uninstalled Discord from my system. In its place, I am going to try Revolt. I already use Signal for a small number of contacts but don't expect everyone to move to it.
My reasoning is because I have been concerned for a long time about Discord's business practices. They are trying to jam in ads and monetization wherever they can. Not only is the software proprietary, it is essentially spyware.

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

Since Microsoft is organising a European Sovereign Tech Fund, we should ask Lockheed Martin to put together a European Sovereign Defense Fund. There’s probably also opportunity here to bring Amazon in to advise on EU labour standards and have McDonald’s take the lead on food safety policy in the EU.

Having Microsoft organise a European Sovereign Tech Fund is like having Anheuser-Busch be your AA sponsor.

Hello everyone!
I'm a #newzealand-based 30-something. I spend a lot of time doing #freesoftware activism. I'm behind Mission:Libre (@missionlibre), a project to bring teenagers to free software.
I'm an asexual lesbian. I'm always up to talk #asexuality, especially with other women who love women.
Otherwise, I like #baking and #cats, #dogs, #rats, #rabbits...

LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.
So today, I'm going for a rematch! Let's see if better tools (rr, ctags) and better understanding of #LibreOffice code is going to be enough for me to get a bugfix in under 2 hours for #BugsDoneQuick! :joy:

Happy Disability Pride Month everybody :)
During the past few weeks, there's been an overwhelming amount of progress with accessibility on GNOME Calendar:
• Events in the agenda view will convey to screen readers of their respective titles and descriptions.
Accessibility on Calendar has progressed to the point where I believe it's safe to say that, as of GNOME 49, Calendar will be usable exclusively with a keyboard, without significant usability friction!
There's still a lot of work to be done in regards to screen readers, for example conveying time appropriately and event descriptions. But really, just 6 months ago, we went from having absolutely no idea where to even begin with accessibility in Calendar — which has been an ongoing issue for literally a decade — to having something workable exclusively with a keyboard and screen reader! :3
Huge thanks to @nekohayo for coordinating the accessibility initiative, especially with keeping the accessibility meta issue updated; Georges Stavracas for single-handedly maintaining GNOME Calendar and reviewing all my merge requests; and @tyrylu for sharing feedback in regards to usability.
All my work so far has been unpaid and voluntary; hundreds of hours were put into developing and testing all the accessibility-related merge requests. I would really appreciate if you could spare a little bit of money to support my work, thank you 🩷

After the transformation away from US services and products, it's time to go one step further.
As I have already announced, I will soon be replacing my Pixel 9 with Graphene OS with a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena.
Although I personally really appreciate Graphene OS and am an avid user, I'm not sure what the future will bring under the fascist Trump. As I said, he can force US companies to hand over data of European users or turn off their services for Europe with the stroke of a pen. Or whatever other stupid things this orange psychopath can think of. Pixel devices from Google are another point.
However, I'm still considering a Framework Laptop 12 for my future laptop because of its sustainability and reparability.
Framework? AN US COMPANY??? Yes, unfortunately there is no European equivalent in this field, but unlike software and internet solutions, I am relatively independent after the purchase. The worst case would be if I could no longer buy current components. But then the Framework would be just like any other computer, which is generally almost impossible to repair or upgrade. But I want to keep that option open.
And I hope - like the rest of the world - that the fascist and criminal spook in the USA will soon be over and the situation there will return to some semblance of normality. Hope dies last...

🌟 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! 🎉

Let's celebrate this shift towards freedom, collaboration, and innovation in the tech landscape! 🎉

June Newsletter 📣
Last weeks were quite busy with the kick-off of the Refund4Freedom initiative and attending conferences around Europe 🌍
⚖ We also went through the issue of the threshold of originality for copyrightable source code and talked in our latest episode of the Software Freedom Podcast about the tech sovereignty debate in the EU 🇪🇺
@caten@mathstodon.xyz
I'm finally moving over to Radicle (https://radicle.xyz) instead of switching to another centralized code forge (like GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc.). I definitely love the idea behind a #P2P code forge and I'm hopeful for Radicle's future, but I do have some reservations starting off:
1) Despite talking a lot about freedom and privacy in the tutorial, the group building Radicle (https://radworks.org/) is planning to sell hosting and make a profit via an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency (https://www.tally.xyz/gov/radworks) as well as NFTs and smart contracts. Some big Libertarian red flags there.
2) At some point there was a Swiss nonprofit "Radicle Foundation", but this now seems to be a for-profit venture (see https://radicle.xyz/history). I wish it could just be a nonprofit.
3) In the user guide chapter on private repos (https://radicle.xyz/guides/user), it says that I need to use a public DNS address trusted seed node to share the repo. I understand there's no DHT here, but I hope it's not too much of a pain to run this over my local network instead of the internet. (And yeah, I know I can use git locally, I just want to test Radicle locally.)
Overall, I think that if radworks turns out to be evil it will be a way easier transition to fork Radicle than it has been to leave GitHub, but I still wish I didn't have to worry.

@farooqkz@cr8r.gg
Considering that both #XMPP and #Matrix re-invented #decentralized communication while #email was already there, makes #deltachat more interesting.
The fact that DC didn't invent a new protocol for #InstantMessaging and just used the protocol which was already there, and also that how far has it gone, is mind blowing.
At first when I was chatting with @treefit, I already was developing a Matrix client(#chooj) for #KaiOS and it was the only decentralized IM which I was using and investing resources into. I was skeptical but then I thought it would be a good idea to invest into DeltaChat, as well as Matrix. His argument, of course, wasn't good. He was arguing that we need multiple options in the case one of decentralized IMs fail. However this convinced me to give DC a try.
But now, I see that DC has very unique advantages no other messenger has. Their moto is "playing the long term" game. Unlike Matrix which suddenly exploded, DC moves very slowly. As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.
Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like #webxdc in any other IM. However if you want something like #Discord guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.
BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what #Trump did with #OpenTechnologyFund(#OTF). If you can help in anyway, financial or otherwise, it will be extra valuable at this point.
Edit:
BTW, here are websites of webxdc and DC:
https://delta.chat
https://webxdc.org/
Edit2: Make sure to check WebXDC, apps shared in #P2P deltachat groups or DMs.

@cwebber What's the problem? Linux is a kernel. Gnu/ and other Liniux-kernel based systems, like Ubuntu are operating systems with a Linux kernel.
Only thing importent is the license.

Continuing our volunteer effort to make GNOME Calendar fully accessible with a keyboard (see thread for context), we fixed a major bug that was causing the focus to disappear into the abyss when the user tried to tab into the month view in merge request !576. This means, as of this commit, events should now be completely functional and accessible within the month view. Additionally, the merge request changes the keyboard and focus behavior within the month view: Events can only be cycled using arrow buttons, the focus can't escape the month view with arrow buttons, and entering/exiting the month view can only be done with tab. These improvements will be available on GNOME 49.

Since Upscaler has just reached 150,000 installs on Flathub, I'm releasing Upscaler 1.5.0! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale images locally, securely, and completely offline.
Thanks to @zoeyTheWitch's wonderful contribution, this release introduces the long overdue functionality to load multiple images at once and add them to the queue. This avoids having to load and add each image to the queue, which will significantly speed up the process of adding images to the queue.
The entire async and threading model was ported to the asyncio and threading modules, thanks to the long *await*ed (pun very much intended) asyncio integration in PyGObject that was made available recently.
Loading images has become much faster and smoother, while using less memory as a direct result of the asyncio and threading port.
This release also makes saving the resulting images completely optional. Additionally, there is now a copy button to copy images without saving them. As such, the process to upscale images has gotten more straightforward than ever – just load the image, set the desired scaling factor and the image type.
The progress rows have gotten a redesign to make them more reminiscent to typical rows with progress bars.
You can get Upscaler 1.5.0 on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.theevilskeleton.Upscaler

The #FreeSoftware movement is fundamentally a political movement advocating for folks' freedoms.
To say that politics have no place in the Free Software movement is to say that the Free Software movement shouldn't exist.
But it's an attractive line to those looking to exploit the #FOSS software that the movement produces while subverting the movement itself.

大家好，#Fread 现在已经决定开源了，欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。
Fread 经历了两年多的开发，从开始到现在一直免费使用，之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源，仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源，现在主要功能都开发的差不多了，也是时候开源出来了。
虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码，但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的，首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台，目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少，并且这是比较新的技术，这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds，所以架构设计上下了点功夫，目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。
总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

总之，虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱，但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

Building a "EU OS", a Linux distribution for the public sector, is another example of a repeating pattern.
Everybody throughout Europe talks about digital sovereignty, that we need to become independent, that Free Software is a great way of getting there, and at the end (almost nothing) happens.
Instead of simply starting to use all the great stuff out there, we start to build stuff because we tell ourselves that x, y, z is missing.
Let's get finally started! We will be surprised what's already possible. Gaps that might come up can be closed on the go.
Great article about seven FOSS-based projects the EU should support now instead of getting distracted:

@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 !

Alright everyone, new week, new mutual aid goals.
I didnt get enough donations last week to cover all my expenses, so my donation goals are higher now.
Please donate if you can.
I live in an abusive home and my family hates me bc im trans.
Having a roof over my head isnt garanteed, neither is food or anything else.
Please donate to me to help me afford my basic expenses, like HRT, food, new glasses, feminine clothing that fits me, phone bill, etc.
Please help.
Thank you to anyone who boosts or donates.
current goals:
food: 75$/75$
misc bills/expenses: 25$/200$
prescription glasses: 0/250$

Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.

2. Digitisation of public services should prioritise Free Software.
3. Civil servants should be free to use Free Software.

Am I right, that none of them is fully #freeSoftware (#openSource), none of them is federated, and none has first class clients on other OSes than Google Android and Apple iOS?
There is an IETF standard for federated instant messenging, implemented by various servers and client applications since 1999. Why don't you promote that?

That’s it. I simply cannot use @zenbrowser for work.
My battery drains faster than a truck burning fuel. My CPU goes crazy. Bugs break the little concentration I have.
This is mainly a lesson to myself: do not use beta software unless you are truly and fully committed to address the potential consequences.

We have setup a dedicated fund for this:

We have some funds from #PravConf sponsorship, but more would help us support people going to many more events like #BiharFOSS or #LucknowFOSS where we don't have many local community members.

Ja Open-Source is aktiv und sind schon lange nicht "nur ein Gebastel" 🤓
Gerade eben in den letzten Tagen bekamen @GIMP, @Blender so auch @peertube im Fediverse ihre Updates in aktuelle maßgebliche Versionen 👍
P.S. Ich freue mich und Toote davon, auch wenn ich es selber selten nutze.
P.P.S. Manche Menschen müssen auch hier im Fediverse mötzeln, dass es nicht perfekt sei aber je nach Anwendung ist es anders 🙄

The rise of Gimp 3
Big kudos to the #Gimp team!
I've just tested out the brand new version 3 and the most wanted feature, non-destructive-editig, just blew my mind!
I haven't realized that now, everything that is based on GEGL is editable, it is just amazing, this goes beyond what I expected as non-destructive-editing.
There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.
Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!
This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!

There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.
Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!
This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!

Are you and #android developer? Would you like to contribute to #Prav? Here is a small task for anyone to try making a small contribution / getting your hands dirty...
https://codeberg.org/prav/IssueTracker/issues/2#issuecomment-2920546
Context: #Quicksy and hence #Prav currently takes phone number as the username. But this makes a lot of people reluctant to use / promote Prav. So we raised funds and hired a local company Softrate to do the work. But we need to troubleshoot why this is not working as intended.

Happy #50forFOSS day.
This time around I donated to GIMP, an image editing tool I've used since high school. It's a fantastic piece of software, and even though I don't work in design or photography, I've used it more times than I can count—converting and resizing images, creating visual aids, making memes, it does everything.

Happy #50forFOSS day.
This time around I donated to GIMP, an image editing tool I've used since high school. It's a fantastic piece of software, and even though I don't work in design or photography, I've used it more times than I can count—converting and resizing images, creating visual aids, making memes, it does everything.
Big shoutout to @GIMP for being my go-to for well over a decade.

And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.
I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.
So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.
I hope that changes one day.
@yorgos@chaos.social
Really excited to be starting to focus more and more of my time into building a better home for #OpenSource #Software, on top of @radicle - a peer-to-peer forge !
#GitHub and #Microsoft (or any $megacorp) cannot be trusted as the sole hosts of any #PublicGood, like #OpenSource.
It's time to take back some of that control, before it's too late.
With #Radicle, you can seed projects, like you seed #torrents - ensuring that they stay available, despite corporate agendas.

@debian Really? You had no problems with having debconf hosted in the Zionist state. You even refer to that illegal entity by the name "Israel". Does the Debian project have the same values as the Zionist state?
I understand a free software project not wanting to be on a proprietary platform, but this is ridiculous.

you may have noticed that in my introduction and bio i talk about being a maintainer of Papirus icon theme. i'd like to expand a little more on that here
Papirus is an icon theme for desktops that are compliant with Freedesktop icon theme specification. however, we overwhelmingly make icons for Linux applications because that's where our users are.
i really like consistency, so when i got into Linux, icon themes were so mindblowing to me that i immediately started to use Papirus because i like its flat style and colours. and as a bonus, all icons, even full-colour apps icons with complicated elements, are pixel-perfect in this pack. that means it looks so-so neat even on a low-dpi monitors.
fast forward to today, and by contributing a number of icons and generally being involved in development i got invited into Papirus Development Team by the one active original author. he lives in Ukraine, so his regular involvement in the project is not something that should have been expected, and now it appears that there's only me actively working on issues, helping new contributors and merging pull requests. because of life, i can't even find energy to make new icons, so i just do what i can to keep the project alive.
Linux customisation is a constantly changing landscape, but the specification doesn't change much and the icons are reused really often, which allowed Papirus to accumulate 8000 app icons. some of them are for the most obscure software project you've ever heard of, because with the help of open-source development model and documented design guidelines, anyone can contribute, or request, an icon that's missing for them. check Papirus out sometime, if you haven't! and definitely go to our issue tracker if you are interested: https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme

🌐🔒 Exciting news for privacy! The US government has officially recommended using Signal and other encrypted messaging apps after recent telecom hacks. This is a huge step forward in recognizing the importance of secure communication!
As someone who has always championed free and open-source software, I’m thrilled to see this acknowledgment from the government, especially given the increasing threats to our privacy. With the rise of surveillance and the potential for breaches in our communication networks, it’s more important than ever to prioritize encrypted messaging.
If even the CIA is warning us about the dangers of unencrypted communications, we should take it seriously! Let’s embrace tools that protect our privacy and autonomy. Remember, our digital safety is in our hands!
Have you made the switch to Signal or another secure messaging app, or know someone making it now?

(Partially reposting from my old account.)
DRM is malware; more specifically, it's ransomware. It's software, running on your computer, whose sole purpose is to artificially restrict your ability to use that computer until you pay money to remove this restriction.
Similarly, client-side anti-cheat for multiplayer PC games is malware; specifically, spyware (at least). Its purpose is to surveil your entire computer, and punish you if you run certain combinations of software at the same time. All anti-cheat measures should be server-side.

The 2022 tech layoffs were 70% women. BIPOC, queer, and disabled workers were also terminated at higher rates.
While we can't prevent corporate layoffs, we can ensure the future of the free and open source community is more diverse and inclusive. Outreachy and Conservancy are vital to that future.
@outreachy connects people who face discrimination and systemic bias to internships in free and open source software. @conservancy staff and contractors run Outreachy.
Outreachy corporate sponsorships and grants have been drastically reduced since 2022. This means Outreachy can't offer as many internships to people who face discrimination and systemic bias in tech. Outreachy's normal 60 to 70 intern cohorts have been reduced to 25 to 35 interns.
Please consider donating to the Conservancy fundraiser, in support of Outreachy and the diverse and inclusive future FOSS needs:

#FreeUse: A fetish in porn and #FreeSoftware.
Whereas in porn the practice mostly occurs on basis of mutual consent, maintainers of free software are for most part unaware until very late, and this leads into abusive relationships.
Long "entitlement bdsm" sessions follow, that can be very aggressive and hostile. In elite catfights groups of Fossbro's™ and The Entitled™ as they call themself, pit against each other, and unashamed they insert their private parts in very explicit and vulgar ways.

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.
Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!
If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

@carmenbianca@todon.eu
The thing that frustrates me about this is that the #FreeSoftware community wastes so much fucking time on #Stallman. So much time and effort is wasted on the eccentricities of one man, even though anyone with a gram of sense can see that this man is unfit to lead the social movement for our digital liberation.
And we are so utterly beholden to him. So much of our language and framing is Stallmanesque, sometimes undeservedly. My biggest pet hate is the narrative that 'you, the user, will be free if you use Free Software'. No you won't, especially not if you are not technically inclined. We are freed together as a community, not as individuals. The system of collaboration and the sharing of our digital infrastructure makes this thing liberating for all of us, not my ability to patch better Esperanto support into glibc.
And it's not like this movement needs a single leader, or that there aren't already extremely talented and dedicated leader figures in our community.
And it's not like there aren't problems with our community that aren't related to Stallman. There are so many people (men…) who make this community less lovely than it is.
But instead of lifting up other voices, or addressing other toxicity, we're stuck endlessly dealing with this one eccentric man.

Firefox (instead of Fennec, because of faster security updates), FUTO Keyboard (because of swipe function, it types much faster!), Fossify Gallery (instead of the standard gallery), standard SMS app instead of QUIKSMS, Pixel Camera (much better image quality, but completely without permissions! ), Localsend (for sending photos and files back and forth between Pixel and PC), Mullvad VPN (catch me!), Proton Pass (changed all passwords to long, complicated ones) and as a visual gimmick: Breezy Weather (so that the home screen doesn't look so boring).

The #FreeSoftware movement is fundamentally a political movement advocating for folks' freedoms.
To say that politics have no place in the Free Software movement is to say that the Free Software movement shouldn't exist.

@autumn64@mast.lat
¿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.

I’m a big fan of malleable and extensible software packages à la Emacs; I think they’re the way to provide practical freedom to users, when licenses provide freedom “de jure” only.
That one can gradually discover the code and fiddle with it blurs the user/developer distinction and reduces the dependency of one group on another.

I've been struggling with a Go application that's currently not packaged under Guix.
The importer would seem to generate around 300 Go package definitions. Then there's at least a handful of cases where the importer fails and definitions would need to be created by hand. Plus the definitions need to be tested and those that fail to build would need to be manually fixed. Rather laborious, it'd seem.
I'm starting disliking Go, but then doubt creeps in. Is it Go, specifically, or is it just that this time I'm unlucky and *I* have to do the packaging work?! Spoiled free software brat or facing a real example of dependency hell?

So I tried making a Fediverse logo! :gutkato_kontenta:
Most people seem to be using the rainbow-coloured pentagram (by Eukombos & al.), which I like well enough myself, but since I read somewhere that it looked a bit busy, I tried making something simpler yet familiar. Instead of different nodes, I put the colours in different spaces/communities formed between the interacting nodes; sorta inspired by the origami boat logo (by DSFGS).
I don’t think the result is particularly striking or much improved, but since I already made it, here it is anyway! Hereby dedicated to the public domain using CC0. I’ve put together a comparison with some pre-existing logos, too; which ones do you like the best? :gutkato_flucerba:

Hello, fediverse. I'm Charles from the USA in the #Portland, OR area. I'm excited to be on #SocialCoop as I'm hoping it will prove a viable alternative to the "free" social sites.
I make #hardware and #software for a living, and I dabble in #art for hobbies. Other interests not limited to: #freesoftware, #plt, #diy, #science, #indieweb, and #justice.

🔔 You heard the news: the @EU_Commission is planning to stop funding @EC_NGI in #HorizonEU 2025 ‼️
Our community reached the EU institutions its answer expresses vague support for #FreeSoftware.
Unfortunately it is failing to provide concrete examples on how to do so. The EC needs to come up with dedicated budget for Free Software solutions!
Keep the pressure on the EC on this topic by contacting them!

Ugh, so apparently Lunduke is back on the fediverse. That and the weirdo Ventoy commentors on Veronica Explains' latest video yesterday has got me thinking about the online Linux/FOSS community.
Outside the FOSS bubble there is almost zero discussion in leftist spaces about the issues of Free Software and open standards. You all know that outside of tech circles (and even within them to a certain extent) most people's perception of 'Linux users' are that we're a bunch of insufferable libertarian weirdos right?
Not surprising really, most of the Linux people on Youtube or any other mainstream social media are some flavour of right-wing or at-least problematic.
We kinda can't blame outsiders for thinking 'Linux people' are a bunch of weird 4chan-addled nerds who think in wojak, pepe and chad memes.

Hi everybody! 👋
I just moved here from @aperezdc@mastodon.social looking for a cozier instance, which I should have done earlier... So let's make this an #introduction post.
People call me Adrian, and I'm living in Finland, which is quite different from the South of Europe where I've been born. I've been into #FreeSoftware since 1998, my first Linux install was SuSE 5.3 (Boxed! With dead tree manuals!) and life hasn't been the same since. These days I mostly work on @WPEWebKit and a bit on @WebKitGTK for @igalia, and maintain their Buildroot packaging.
On the #RetroComputing front, I used to have a Sony HB-75P #MSX but it ended up being discarded (long story) and after two decades without one I finally decided to get a Panasonic FS-A1WSX MSX2+ which has given me plenty of warm fuzzy feelings. I also enjoy doing small pixel art thingies like my doge avatar, mostly with #Aseprite, but it takes me a lot of time and I am not very good at it. Some day I hope to have an #Amiga 1200 as well.

@nicemicro@fosstodon.org · Reply to FOSS Post's post
@fosspost frankly it doesn't matter how good your operating system is.
The problem is, that everyone using the same software means everyone is vulnerable to the same issues.
This is why #SelfHosting and #Fediverse type services are so so important. If the Mastodon server I'm on goes down, it might effect me and my server-siblings, but won't affect everyone.
So. thank your #FreeSoftware developer today for having your interest in their focus, instead of just making the most amount of money.
@fosspost@mastodon.social
It was fun while it lasted and we have a good laugh. 😏
But truth be said, even Linux wouldn't have helped in preventing the CrowdStrike catastrophe, and it has actually happened with it in the past (from the same company!).

⚠️ EC cuts funding support for Free Software projects
The @EC_NGI initiative has supported #FreeSoftware projects with funding and technical assistance since 2018.
Despite its proven success, the @EUCommission made the decision to cut this funding in the current draft for the #HorizonEU 2025 Work Programme.
❗ This decision highlights the larger problem of the lack of motivated and sustainable public funding for #FreeSoftware projects.
@frebelt@mastodon.online

A good chance to re-introduce myself: I'm Fabio, a software engineer and... "technologist", I guess? I tend to maintain a critical stand towards technology and to care about its social/political/ethical aspects as much as or more than the purely technical ones.
I'm interested in #FreeSoftware, especially community-led projects - in other words, "free" as in "open/distributed governance" more than "simply open source".
My tech stack is in large part #Emacs, #Guix, and various other #GNU projects. I love programming languages of the #Lisp and #Scheme family.
Pronouns: they/them. #Vegan, #London-er.

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.

This is important. @PublicKnowledgeProject, based on #freesoftware and a dedicated global community, located at a public institution (SFU) is not and will not be for sale. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible and to everyone who contributes to this truely open and international project. 25 years and counting!

Hello to all of you people of mastodon! 🤗
This is my #introduction
Here I will share stuff and links that I would like more people to know, I will also try to write some reflexions and though on my projects. I live in Normandy, France. My current topics of interests are various: #programming #bike #osm #climatechange #selfhosting #freeSoftware #linux #maps #openstreetmap #wikidata #rust #python
I speak french 🇫🇷 and english 🇬🇧 .

My most recent employment was mostly using #ClojureScript and #TypeScript with #React, but I've also a lot of experience with #Python on the back-end. That said, the goal is usually more important to me than specific languages or technologies, since they can be learnt.
I'm a #FOSS advocate and sometime contributor, and a full-time #linux user.
I'm not a #FreeSoftware copyright lawyer, but I play one on the Internet.
I'm also into #indiegamedev as a creative outlet!
@pango@tooter.social
New instance, same #introduction
Hi I'm Pierre, changed from Lego geek to computer geek at 11 when I touched a computer; they weren't that common in '80.
Studied computing at uni, became software #developer. Worked in several #startups, but not only.
Switched main OS to #linux in 1996. From time to time I contribute to #freesoftware projects, last to date being #DaggerfallUnity.
I enjoy #jazz #music (sometimes play #drums, but I need to replace my aging kit now), or #photography #nature.
@ryuslash@goto.ryuslash.org
I guess I should have an #introduction on here as well:
I'm a programmer and #FreeSoftware enthusiast. I've been using #Linux as my main desktop and #Emacs as my... everything... since 2008. I started off with a lot of distro hopping, my journey took me through #Ubuntu, #Fedora, #Zenwalk, #Gentoo, and #Exherbo before settling on #ArchLinux, now with #Guix on top.
I love writing software in #Lisp (either #CommonLisp or #Scheme or any other), but I don't get enough of a chance to. Except #EmacsLisp, basically all my personal projects end up being written in that. Other than that I've enjoyed writing things in #CSharp, #PHP, #Python, #JavaScript, #Ruby, #Groovy, and several other languages.
My main account is @ryuslash, this is my account for experimenting with self-hosting.

👋 hey fedi, #introduction time!
i'm dafne, a queer tech worker from sarawak/east malaysia 🦧
i'm just treading the waters of https://veganism.social/ and seeing if this place is right for me ✌️ i've been an active mastodon user since 2017 & maintain an alt on http://deadinsi.de 👉 @dafne@deadinsi.de 🌱
i generally boost/post tech, #freesoftware, & all things liberation — veganism, social justice, and the general state of #lgbt rights this part of the world 🌏 though i also have an early internet/fedi habit of shitposting 💩
boosts & follows are okay 👍 and i promise to always add alt text & c/w my posts 🤞
let’s see how this goes 🤗
@kzimmermann@fosstodon.org
Holy crap! I just realized I passed the 1k follower mark. I think this (in the least) calls for another #Introduction:
I'm a Linux and BSD aficionado who advocates for computer freedom. I post and boost things related to Privacy, Security and the empowerement of #oldcomputers through #FreeSoftware.
Elsewhere, I host a blog (https://kzimmermann.0x.no) and have a peertube account @kzimmermann@diode.zone where I record commentary about the above while doing #freegaming
Thanks to everyone who followed me!

#collaboraoffice is excellent free alternative to Googles collaborative office technology, its based on Libre Office technology, #collabora is the largest contributor to #libreoffice and does a lot of other good for #freesoftware . You can install it super easy if you have a #nextcloud instance, or if you use a nice cloud host, or for no charge if you want to learn some systems administration and use your own hardware.

updated #intro!
I'm Liv (she/her). I love my name. This #nonbinary girl also has a masc side (they/them)
You might mistake me for "somebody that I used to know". We look like twins.
I'm also #neurospicy which is why I am always *exactly* on time and know what day it is without looking at calendars
My #syneasthesia helps me mix up names and makes me see colors in the sky
I'm really into #freeSoftware, cats and #bouldering

Amiamo la libertà 0, la libertà di eseguire il programma come si desidera, per qualsiasi scopo.
Rilanciate questo post per condividere il messaggio con altri!
E se potete, prendete in considerazione l'idea di sostenere i software liberi che usate di più.

Hello, we are the #Linux User Group of #Trento italian city and province.
We care about people first and technology second, so we struggle for #freesoftware and a fair Internet, free from #surveillance.
@zana@sfba.social
Greetings! Having poked around here for a few days, I see I need to write an #introduction post. I work with #freesoftware folks at #GNOME and enjoy #knitting and doing #crosswords. As a self-proclaimed #wordnerd, I believe #puns are underrated and I hope to see new ones here.
@queer_of_swords@wandering.shop · Reply to Ether's post
I... I forgot some of my interests... So I'll just add them here as they come back to me. :D
I'm really into #fountainpens!! And writing old-school letters with them, as well as my #bujo!
Somewhat more dormant interests: #witchcraft, #paganism, #opensource and #freesoftware, #folklore, #socialjustice, #disabilityjustice, #tarot, #fandom.
@cbrocas@infosec.exchange
#introduction
I am Christophe Brocas, a now over fifty years old random IT/Security guy cruising on the Internets since early 90's 🙂
I work as security engineer @ https://www.ameli.fr/ for a long time now after having been seen in sysadmin and then internal support teams.
On spare time, I organise tech #conferences with friends like @doegox since mid 2000s, mainly focused on #FreeSoftware and #Security like https://www.pass-the-salt.org .
Last, I am finally very happy that Elon pushs me to quit Twitter and go to the fediverse. Federation, freedom and easyness of servers switching, self verification etc give me the warm feeling of being at home, back to the roots that we should never have left!
@jrfern@social.politicaconciencia.org · Reply to Juan Rafael Fernández's post
English #introduction (Spanish #introduction was much more detailed). Retired teacher of English, restudying #philosophy (#metaethics, #PhilosophyOfSciences, #Consciousness) at a different pace. Mostly a has-been, user of #FreeSoftware for more than twenty years, writer of docs and for some time teacher trainer about #FreeEducationalSoftware. Translator of free software, see #eXeLearning. Hopes in #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux and #OpenScience

#introduction time!
I write JavaScript 9 to 5, but I mostly post about my contributions to #linux and #freesoftware projects.
I co-maintain #libinput and I'm a fairly active #linuxkernel hobbyist developer. Mostly adding input features and learning about graphics (DRM/KMS).
I'm also an #elementaryos user and casual contributor and I've contributed to many other projects, specially on the #GNOME and #wayland ecosystems.
@sephi@tooting.ch
I’m a 🇨🇭 web developer passionate about #code (currently ❤️ #python, #django and #elm), contributor to #freesoftware and #nixos user.
📙 I’m the coauthor of Génies du code (geniesducode.com), an illustrated book (in FR) to learn programming.
👨💻 I’m currently working at petzi.ch (a swiss nonprofit for independent music), and ehro.app (a volunteer management platform).
🐟 Most of my time is dedicated to #animalrights activism and #programming.
I usually toot in EN, sometimes in FR. #introduction
@KyeGW@socel.net
Without a doubt my favorite project at GW so far. 
COIL is a casual little character focused exploration games where you help some neat little dudes work through some stuff by trading items.
Definitely our biggest project to date and it's extremely very free, link in bio. We're super wild proud of it.
Drop a follow or boost if you wanna hear more bout our other games/see process art from development! ♡

@masto@masto.masto.com
Time for a proper #introduction.
Primarily, I'm a #geek, a #nerd, a #technology enthusiast. Santa brought me a #Commodore 64 when I was 9 and I've never stopped being excited by new gadgets.
I ran a #BBS in the 90s, I've been an #amiga fanboy, a #FreeBSD and #FreeSoftware advocate, #perl fan, #mac developer (presented once at #WWDC). I'm a hobbyist #maker of #electronics, #3dPrinting, #LaserCutting, etc. Inconsequential #YouTuber (see bio). I dabble in #HomeAutomation, and still like to #code.
@bzg@fosstodon.org
Welcome to my new followers!
I post about #GNU #Emacs #Orgmode and #FreeSoftware.
I don't post often and I don't actively participate to conversations on Mastodon as I prefer emails. But I'm glad this place exists 🙂
To check projects I contribute to and projects/hackers I support, see https://bzg.fr/en/free-software
Have a nice day!
@chrysn@chaos.social
I never did proper #introduction post in the 3 years since joining. I'm a nerd of all trades (and master of none), so I'll just pick some:
I like working with #embedded systems, and linking them across the Internet (which some call #IoT). As I want those to be efficient, interoperable and secure, I spend much time around the #CoAP stack of protocols -- both contributing to its specs at #IETF, and writing #FreeSoftware implementations in #RustLang, #Python and on @RIOT_OS (in C).
@ryuslash@fosstodon.org
I never actually wrote an #introduction on here. Mostly because I hate writing about myself like this. But here goes.
I'm a programmer and #freesoftware enthusiast. I've been using #linux as my main desktop and #emacs as my... everything... since 2008. I started off with a lot of distro hopping, my journey took me through #ubuntu, #fedora, #zenwalk, #gentoo, and #exherbo before settling on #archlinux, now with #guix on top.
@meejah@mastodon.social
I guess my #introduction post has vanished in the mists of time.
I am a professional Python developer, working almost exclusively on #opensource and #freesoftware of the #privacy genre. I sometimes do #tor volunteer work.
Outside of that I #run, #cycle, and #ski and currently trying to become a #unicyclist
