#opensouce — Public Fediverse posts

Linux is great, but there are so many different options. Eventually you find one that works for what you, but here is short video from Switch and Click about her top three and why. Don't throw out that old pc, replace the OS.

Unser #Alarmplan wird nun um ein #Handy der Marke Emporia für meine Mutter erweitert.
Hier mein Aufruf an die #Opensouce Gemeinde:
Entwickelt eine Anleitung eine Anleitung, die aus einem Althändy ein Seniorenhandy macht, ich werde es in meinem #repaircafe verteilen.
Nur eines: Es braucht #Telefon #SMS #EMail und #whatsapp
Ich würde die Mühe machen Ü80 Menschen eine funktionsgleiche #App zu vermitteln, aber bei deren buckliger Verwandschaft bin ich machtlos!

@joshbressers is on a roll. Peak Josh sarcasm, guaranteed pH-value around zero. Go read it, keep 🍿 at the ready.

Certainly agree on the "explosive diarrhea opportunity" argument. You forgot to find an opportunity to garnish the post with some salad leaves.

The rest is as hilarious as it is on point.
Question is: Whereto next?

• Invest more in complexity reduction?
• More in containment and ability to be failure-operational? - See the last podcast episode on that.
• Or that "it's all infrastructure and hence FOSS needs to be nationalized, government run and paid from tax money" argument which is all too popular at the moment.

Or maybe that

• Force to internalize the FOSS risk back onto those that are possibly profiting from it argument?

After all, FOSS is the video-game edition of the literal sofa/cook top/... someone threw on the street and you thrifted it because it seemed to still be good enough to re-use for a while.
With the video game effect being that it immediately reappears once you took it. pling

Intentionally commercial FOSS might be the slightly better looking loot, but with a line attached to it and usually intentionally missing parts for certain use cases. Which is completely fine.

All rules and regulations are present for this already. They're just large scale ignored across the board. Funnily even by a very large degree of those who create said FOSS.

I guess it's just easier to do nothing and enjoy freshly roasted smores on the ever burning garbage fire that Josh post described so nicely?

If I made an anti-AI fork of Ardour, would anyone be interested in contributing, even a little bit? I want to but I have hardly any programming experience. I want to try and get something started, though…

@nextcloud It is imperative to make open file formats (and standards) work BETTER than proprietary options, which I think is very possible. Whether it's ODF, or another open file format.

GitHub is het zoveelste voorbeeld van #AI #enshittification op het Web, getuige de recente downtime en fuckups.

Het is verstandig eens goed na te denken over (niet- #bigtech) alternatieven om je code te hosten. Bijvoorbeeld CodeBerg, forgejo of — natuurlijk! — code.overheid.nl. Bij voorkeur #opensouce en in #europa natuurlijk.

GH lijkt nu nog de 'standaard' keuze, maar ik voorspel (en hoop!) dat het code-platform-landschap er over een jaar heel anders uit ziet...

Bajo la excusa de tener un mayor control contra la piratería y la manipulación de datos, el gobierno argentino firma contratos con los ISP. Eso ya lo conocemos.
El problema es que, cuando criminalicen la libertad de expresión y te hagan seguimiento (porque así será: lo sabrán todo, estarás en una lista y la aprovecharán para beneficiarse), te encuadrarán en la misma categoría que los piratas o los criminales reales.
Y esto no es nuevo: en otros países, bajo esa misma excusa, ya se aplican restricciones totales, a la sombra de Estados Unidos, pero cada vez más parecidas a Corea del Sur, donde controlan absolutamente todo.

@Gina Large scale users should allow their employees to contribute or sponsor contributors. Simply specifying needs and offering payment for realisation.
Most open source is started bij idealists and hobbyists, but to keep it alive requires more.
Beware of companies acquiring the software and offering you a premium (closed) version. Sounds good, but there is no way back from premium. Contribute to an open 'premium'.
