Para quienes estamos en el fediverso, cada vez pesa más la idea de que no todo lo que guardamos debería terminar siendo analizado, monetizado o expuesto. Y con las fotos eso se vuelve todavía más sensible, porque no solo hablamos de recuerdos: muchas veces también contienen metadatos, lugares, rostros, rutinas e incluso información que preferimos mantener lejos de miradas ajenas.
Por eso me gusta los servicios y aplicaciones FOSS y Ente Photos no es la excepción, porque no somos el producto, y cuando un servicio te respeta, es razonable, transparente y acompañado de software de calidad, no veo el problema en adquirir dicho servicio.
Sus precios me parecen razonables para lo que ofrece: 50 GB por $2.49, 200 GB por $4.99 y 1 TB por $9.99 al mes. Además, Ente ofrece 10 GB gratis de base, y su programa de referidos da 10 GB extra tanto a quien invita como a quien se registra/suscribe con el código. Así que, usando mi código YAKSHA, tendríasí: 10 GB base + 10 GB por referido = 20 GB desde el inicio. Nisiquiera tienes que pagar por el servicio, incluso a mí personalmente me costo llenar esos 20 GB de espacio, Animate que de todas formas no tienes nada que perder.
Recuerda Código YAKSHA en la sección Configuración -> Referral para que tengas los 20GB desde un principio.

In the last weeks I worked behind the scenes to "liberate" two games that had issues with non-free media files that prevented them from counting as fully free software games.
But now I am happy to report those issues are gone. Non-free files, or files with dubious licensing have been removed or replaced (unless I overlooked something).
The two games are:

"When a product ships a single interface, it has made the ergonomic decision on the user’s behalf and removed it from their hands. The trade-off still exists — it has merely been settled by someone else, once, for everyone.
LibreOffice takes the opposite path. It offers the traditional menu-and-toolbar layout, the Tabbed interface, Tabbed Compact, the Groupedbar, a Sidebar, and a Single Toolbar mode, and it lets each user choose the one that fits their work, their hardware, and their habits."

Next week, #LibreOffice 26.8 will bring an improved tabbed user interface. But nobody is forced to use it – the classic menu+toolbar still remains. Indeed, there is no "best" interface, only the right fit: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/08/21/there-is-no-best-interface/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

Ever opened a repo and had no idea what license a file is under, or who owns the copyright?🤔
That's the exact problem, #REUSE solves: clear, machine-readable licensing info in every single file.
3️⃣ simple steps. That's it.

#AI is a zombie virus.
There were so many #FreeSoftware projects that were dead and buried with honors, or at least on life support. It was unfortunate. Sometimes it involved a lot of downstream scaffolding to keep everything working. But at least we had warm memories of them and respect to their authors.
And now slop virus is taking them over, one after another. It's pulling them out of their graves or hospital beds, deformed and mutilated. All the warmth is gone. They have no purpose anymore, beyond feeding.
Sometimes this is done by kids who don't understand the first thing about the project they're defiling, who just want to get credit for something important. However, more often this is done by their original maintainers, who not only don't seem to realize their prime time is over, but who are many years detached from honest software development work.

I love it when technology lifts get so big and technical that they eclipse enterprise solutions and return to fundamentals. That's my game. I'm here for you when that happens. It will happen. 🤣
Also, it's always DNS.
