@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.
I want to see absolutely no sensible and practical advice here. What programming language should I start vaguely and in a chill way teaching myself if I just want to experience something fun or elegant or interesting in and of itself, assuming I have no goal for using it to do anything really (outside of learning)
@grimalkina yes and no, it is a programming language primarily for statistics and manipulation of data stored as data frames, and #OSS version of the older, proprietary language S, and written in C, FORTRAN and R
Apparently more xz style infiltrations may be in progress. And remember that even small projects can be used for targeted attacks if they know who your users are.
📢 Woohoo! Version v6.1.15 of Firefly III has just been released 🎉. Check it out over at GitHub, Docker, or download it using your favorite package manager.
New to PyCon US is FlaskCon, one of the Hatchery programs we accepted this year. This is your opportunity to meet the maintainers of Flask and learn how you can become a contributor.
If you use Flask, this is also a great time to share your experiences with the rest of the community.
SIgn up to give a lightning talk now:
A grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation will further the work of the Open Source Program Office (#OSPO) at UC Santa Cruz (@ucsc) work with UC partners at Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego to promote #OpenSource research, teaching, and public service.
The Welrod was a British bolt action, magazine fed, suppressed pistol devised at the Inter-Services Research Bureau (later Station IX). Welrod is a portmanteau combining “Wel” from Welwyn Garden City (located near Station IX) and “rod," gangland slang for a gun, as a way to obscure its purpose. (1/4)
The term 'telemetry' can raise a lot of concerns, especially within the realm of #OSS. In the latest episode of #TheHaskellInterlude, Joachim Breitner and Andres Löh interview @avi_press, the CEO of @scarf_oss. Learn more about the episode here: https://haskell.foundation/podcast/47/ #Haskell
For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to express my gratitude to the entire open-source community. Past, present, and future. I owe so much to what many developers, sysadmins, enthusiasts have built and maintained. I've always believed that culture should be free and accessible to all, and the OSS community has made it possible to study, learn, and implement complex and professional solutions without the need for closed systems, licenses, or expensive "certification" courses.
Today more companies are announcing their support of the Valkey community (the group that includes committed developers previously working on the OSS version of the core Redis engine): Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Percona, and Verizon.
The Valkey community is announcing their first source code release: version 7.2.5. Now available for download from GitHub and usable via the project's official Docker image.
