We noticed populist right-wing forces co-opting "open-source" by "supporting its adoption".
However, they stand for isolationism (hidden behind "tech sovereignty"), and against international collaboration, openness and transparency; which are what makes #FreeSoftware awesome.
Quick heads up: Kitten’s installer/downloads will be offline for a few minutes as I recreate kittens.small-web.org (the site that new Kittens are deployed to when they’re born) as it was originally on Ubuntu and sites deployed by Domain are now using AlmaLinux. Also, I am setting Kitten’s API version to 0 (it was initially set to 1) to signal that it is prerelease. When the version is back to 1 it will be because API version 1 is stable.
I did not know about #Domain, and at a first glance it reminds me a lot of @yunohost!
Did you consider integrating Domain with YunoHost, or make them interoperable? I believe it would be a huge win: #YunoHost is very mature and many years in the making, I believe a new and ambitious project such as Domain could truly benefit the stability and features of such a big software, while I think the YunoHost community would really enjoy the participation and help.
Maybe you could start by opening a thread on the forum, and we can see what people think 👀
Here's my take on the Recall crapware that's been added to Windoze:
Recall will make use of on-device processing for some time, if/when "incompatible" Copilot+PCs receive support, the learning will be processed on a server.
Local processing will "become" an opt-in feature (because why not) and cloud processing (read: data-mining) becomes the default.
Local processing becomes a paid feature ( i.e the "Pro/Plus" tier) and is no longer available for regular users.
Users enjoy using Windows 11 despite knowing that literally everything they do on their computers (which IMO was never theirs from the start - if they've been using Windows) is up for grabs
now not only can Microsoft get access to all your data, heckers can too (how very generous of Microsoft)
And I forgot the important part (the part that I truly wish happens)
more and more users switch to #GNU+Linux. #Linux has only gotten so much better over the years, and even pain points like Nvidia, Wayland etc are becoming increasingly rare.
Switch to #freesoftware today! Use software where you're the user, not the used!
Forgive the recent apparent obsession (I’d call it a fascination) with the #cycloid but I’ve just discovered something I’d not heard of before. It is also called a #TautochroneCurve or #Isochrone curve, which means that a particle starting from any location on the curve will get to the #MinimumPoint at precisely the same time as a particle starting at any other point.

A lot of people say "all software is open source if you know assembly" this is obviously a joke but lets over analyze it
It is explicitly not Open Source (as in licensed in such a way) as the developers have not assigned it such a license, however if you stretch the definition of "source" to mean any code that runs the application rather than the actual source form of the code you could argue that all code by definition is source available.
@BrodieOnLinux people clearly have no concept over the legal theory behind "licensing" and "ownership", so no wonder they don't know the difference well.
I.e., in the #WinAmp news, it is absolutely no issue whatsoever, that the company keeps the ownership of a project, as if they wrote it, it's their IP (and if they made other contributors sign their ownership to the corpo). The issue is, how do you LICENSE the software, of which they say nothing.
