I didn't used to be a "militant" #FOSS user, but I've been bitten too many times by companies with #proprietarysoftware. For example, #Reason DAW, #Zbrush - both companies that decided to say fuck you to perpetual licenses. Now, I try to avoid any proprietary application. I recently went looking for a good notes app and everyone loves #Obsidian. As soon as I saw it was closed source, I noped out and settled on #Joplin. These companies will eventually fuck over customers so I won't waste my time.
Just a thought… Wouldn’t it be nice if capsicum in #FreeBSD could be used in such way that you didn’t need to alter binaries, but from e.g. daemon(8) which would jail your binaries with the restricted capabilities
More Excellent developments on the good work being performed on #NodeBB and interoperability with #WordPress instances endowed with the #ActivityPub plugin:
Winamp is going to publish their source code and go open source!
Who's going to take that nostalgic trip with me and start digging through skins and visualizers?
Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
Since we released Ring Racers version 2.1, we’ve been hard at work collecting and addressing feedback for this follow-up. This update includes a modest amount of new content, some new accessibility options, and a large swath of balance adjustments and bug fixes.
This Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we have something special to share! @github made a movie about our founders Mick & Jamie & the story of not only NVDA, but also OSARA. Two life-changing open-source projects. Both actively providing access & employment to blind people around the world.
#Nextcloud: Meine ersten Tests mit der Förderation von #Talk:
Es hilft, wenn man die IDs richtig schreibt, wenn man Externe hinzufügt. 🙈
In die eine Richtung kommen die Nachrichten praktisch instant an. In die andere dauert es fast 20 Sekunden. Es würde mich interessieren, von was das abhängt
Anhänge gehen nicht durch. Da kommt nur "XY hat eine Datei geteilt, die nicht mehr vorhanden ist"
Insgesamt ist das aber total unkompliziert und vielversprechend!
Versiegelte Flächen per "KI" erkennen: Der Kreis #Recklinghausen hat mit der Westfälischen Hochschule zusammen ein #OpenSource System entwickelt, das errechnet, welche Flächen überbaut sind und wenn ja, wie stark. Nach und nach soll das System weitere Dinge erkennen - bspw. den Zustand von Straßen und Straßenmarkierungen.
Diese Projekt war eines der vielen Themen, die auf dem #smartSHtag im Rahmen der #diwokiel24 vorgestellt wurden.
OpenFold is a big deal. And a great showcase for free open source software, enabling scientists to improve on each other's work in the best scientific tradition.
