For all people here that use #Squeezebox and Lyrion Music Server. There is a community firmware update for Squeezebox Radio, Touch and Controller. I wrote a blogpost why and how to update to the latest version: 8.5.0.
#KDE will mentor ten projects in Google Summer of Code (#GSoC) this year, including two projects for #LabPlot, a FREE, open source and cross-platform #DataVisualization and #DataAnalysis software.
Disroot (@disroot) is honestly one of the most underappreciated organisations. Their transparency, one of the best privacy policies and the amount of services they offer is really phenomenal
Hey lovely Keila users! I’m currently re-doing the website and would like to add some more quotes from Keila users. If you’d consider giving a testimonial, send me a pm 💚
(Thanks to André at @brinjel for adding the first new testimonial)
Say you wanted to spin up an internationalist, remote-first, tech-worker collective, but then you think about bureaucracy and The Fear stops you in your tracks.
Is there a procedural, flow-chart like resource out there?
No matter if you host your own copy of GitLab Software or use GitLab's servers directly, you should enable 2-step Verification - NOW (right now, do not wait). There is a current exploit that allows someone to hijack GitLab Accounts, who are not using 2-step verification.
The state of Schleswig-Holstein in #Germany has renewed their de-Microsoft efforts by announcing that they will be switching the state administration's approximately 30,000 employee's PCs to #FLOSS solutions and moving towards “digitally sovereign IT workplaces”.
This was agreed upon by the state's cabinet, who have decided to replace Microsoft Office with #LibreOffice as the first of six key pillars that are part of their digitally sovereign IT workplace plan.

#OpenSource#FLOSS: "People asked what Red Hat could do to get me interested in Enterprise Linux again. It's simple: stop treating people who don't bring revenue to the table like garbage. Freeloaders are part of open source—whether they're running homelab or a competing business.
Companies who want to befriend open source devs need to show they care about more than just money. Unfortunately, the trend right now is to rugpull to juice the quarterlies, because money line always goes up!
But you know what? I'd just prefer honesty. If revenue is so dependent on selling software, just... make the software proprietary. Don't be so coy!
But to anyone who's not a multi-billion dollar corporation, don't be a victim of the next rugpull. The warning signs are clear: Don't sign a CLA. Stay away from projects that require them.
Stick to open source licenses that respect your freedom, not licenses written to juice revenue and prep a company for a billion-dollar-buyout.
Maybe it's time for a new open source rebellion. Maybe this time, money won't change company culture as new projects arise from the ash heap. Maybe not, but at least we can try."
Hey #journalists if you're going to use an open source project as an example of a hack, can you at least let them know in advance you're about to do something reckless so they can prepare?
This past few weeks I've received multiple emails from devs who claim to be #FLOSS advocate but they want to get paid for all their contributions. Getting paid for your work is totally fine, but stop asking to join a project and get paid when that project is not corporate-backed nor it accepts donations.
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.
