The "intro to py5 and python tutorials" have coding challenges at the end of each of them, but there is no answer key. Would you like to help us contributing with this educational materials?
@martinsteiger Es gibt etliche Gründe, wieso einige Projekte Audacity vor ein paar Jahren geforkt haben. U.a. die Erosion sowohl von Privatsphäre als auch GPL.
Ein bisschen davon sieht man hier zusammengefasst. Und dass sich Leute engagieren.
Trying out #VSCodium it's a fork of VSCode's source code, it's #FLOSS and comes without data collection and other proprietary code from Microsoft. It's avaible for Windows, Linux and MacOS :3
So far it's pretty great, it gives you a guide on how to transfer your #VSCode settings, extensions and Co. and also let's u use VSCode's Extension Marketplace if you prefer it over the #opensource one. Only thing which I miss is a way to sync 🥲, but thats fine.
Pipe Viewer - pv - is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a Unix pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.
This release adds a new SI units feature supplied by Kevin Ruddy, incorporates French translations supplied by Thomas Bertels, and fixes bugs with TMPDIR support and blocking output.
PV uses the resources of the @Codeberg platform for free software development.
The plotting, statistical, and data selection tools in the mapdata.py data explorer (https://pypi.org/project/mapdata/) can be used even if you don't have any map data. Just add dummy latitude and longitude values to the data table. Zeroes will do. The map and the dummy columns can both be hidden, and you can then explore the data table with the other available tools.
Wir feiern am heutigen Tag unseren 9. Geburtstag. 🎉 Doch möchten wir dieses Jahr nicht uns in den Mittelpunkt stellen, sondern 9 Softwareprojekte, ohne die unsere Arbeit so nicht möglich wäre. Darunter befinden sich Anwendungsprogramme, welche auf den von uns herausgegebenen Rechnern vorinstalliert sind, aber auch Werkzeuge, die wir intern im Verein für den Instandsetzungsprozess benötigen.
I have a #CalDAV server running on my NAS. I want to access the calendars on it from #GNOME Calendar. How to achieve this? I haven't found anything neither in Calendar itself nor in "Online Accounts" section in the Settings.
I found an old blog post from 2016 mentioning having to install #Evolution to do this:
I was thinking specifically of the #xz Utils incident when I wrote this weeks column calling for an #opensource tax credit for developers.
“A 2024 Harvard study valued [open source software] at $8.8 trillion.
A software project may be initially undertaken by a single developer as a hobbyist project, but … maintenance and security updates require long-term commitments, often by an entire community of developers.”
One thing that some people are miserably failing to understand is that I have opt.ed in to a #FLOSS project to help and make it better, and I never opted in to tolerate you bad attitude or do online searching for you. If you cannot be bothered to search among the open and closed issues, or you are aggressive and hostile, then I should not be bothered to even recognize your issue either! Capiche?
The second maintenance release of the 24.02 series is out with performance optimizations when moving clips in the timeline and across multiple project bins, packaging improvements to macOS and Windows versions and fixes to copy/paste of effects, rotoscoping, Nvidia encoding among others.
If FLOSS is built on the four freedoms, and FLOSS has created an environment that is brittle, then perhaps it’s time for FLOSS to similarly augment the four freedoms.
We have to address this in a fundamental way. The alternative may well be the (eventual) end of FLOSS as we know it.
> Every participant in the FLOSS ecosystem has the right to have their needs met according to the abilities of the other participants.
I like this article a lot. Though struggle with the word "ability" in this formulation. As people have more abilities than they are obliged to give to another single participant in #FLOSS.
The balance giving vs. taking should be added to the definition. You can only expect reasonable reciprocity.
That gives an indication of how hard it is to define the legal aspect.
How do you exercise this right, if you observe it is not honored? Do you claim contribution? And how much do you claim? And do you deny use of the #FLOSS work until proper contribution is forthcoming?
Maybe the #ReciprocalLicense contains a binding vow to contribute within reason and ability and when requested, such that the reasonability of honoring the right can be judged fairly in case of a dispute.
Love free/open/libre software and its community? Come join us! We are looking for coordinators and general volunteers to help us keep and improve this great conference.
Do you contribute to Free/Libre Open Source #FLOSS projects, with work or money? If you do, which one?
If you don't, consider doing it. I could really use some support so I can work on my open #Pythonteaching materials and continue working on #py5.
I love the work that I do, the teaching and these contributions to "the commons", but things have been terrible economically for me this year and my anxiety is going through the roof :(
#Introduction
Hi! I've been on mastodon since summer 2023, but this is my brand new account. I'm interested in #FreeOpenSource#privacy respecting software, #OpenAccess science, and overall community driven spaces. I study #physics, I'm a beginner-level programmer, and would like to start contributing to some #foss#floss projects or sharing my own code. I thought I'd join floss.social to be in a community of like-minded people. I also like #flowers. That's all for now. Have a nice day!
