#Freedom and #Transparency ♻️ #Opensourcesoftware (#OSS) makes it possible to view, change and share code.
#Collaborative #Development 🤝 OSS thrives on #collaboration: #developers around the world contribute to improving #software, fixing bugs and ensuring ongoing #innovation.
#Costefficient and #Flexible 📈 Unlike commercial software, OSS is often #free to use and broadly #customisable, making it a super #costeffective solution.

#OpenSource: Free for You, Profitable for Them.
OpenSource means: #software where the #sourcecode is freely available and often costs nothing. Sounds great, but there is a catch.
#Companies like #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon fund large #OpenSource #projects not out of #idealism, but because they build profitable #cloudservices on top of them and pocket the money.
Small #developers who charge for their work barely stand a chance against "free". Yet thousands of hours go into these projects. The #maintainers, the people who keep these projects alive, often work unpaid until they hit #burnout.
#Free does not automatically mean ethical. It is often just convenient.

Hi everyone 👋
I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/
The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.
The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.
I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏

Okay, let's make an HTTP API that verifies users under the new #California #AB1043 law, so these fucktars know how useless their law is.
25 lines on your average Node.js.
Cross-platform.
#CCPA compliant.
#Private by design.
If you're a law maker, this costs $70,000 a month to run on AWS and it uses #AI.

Liblsl 0.0.2 released https://pub.dev/packages/liblsl :cursed_cool: :blobfoxblanketmonitor:
I made a Dart /Flutter native asset package for Lab Streaming Layer (LSL), used to synchronise timing of equipment over a network, often in academic research situations.
The lib compiles for Linux, iOS, Android, Windows and OSX. I even got it running with no probs on the Quest 2.
Next step is making the API more friendly for Dart users
The lovely dev of LSL / liblsl kindly linked my package from the official docs :awwwblob: :ablobcatheart:

New account, so new #introduction. Let's do it again!
I have a #MastersDegree in #ComputerScience and #ComputerEngineering. I went to #NMU for undergrad and #MSU for my graduate degree. I currently work at #UChicago for the #TMWCenter, which focuses on helping young children acquire language (and therefore other learning skills) faster.
In my spare time, I develop #OpenSourceSoftware such as
- a #SphinxDoc extension that embed #Fediverse comments on your page
- a library to talk to #ManifoldMarkets from native #Python
- a #PredictionMarket manager using the above
- a #transpiler from a subset of Python to #OpenStreetMaps's #OverpassQL
- bug fixes to many other projects, including #mypy, #base58, #attrs, #CPython, & more
I spend a fair bit of my time these days on #MathResearch, specifically into the #ThueMorse Sequence and its extensions.
I'm also a hobbyist editor on OpenStreetMap.
#Demisexual, #transfem, and happily engaged to my #enby sweetheart.
We have two cats: #OpheTheLoaf and #MayalaranTheCat (yes, from #StormlightArchive) See here for more on them!
I speak English fluently, Spanish haltingly, and am trying to learn Chinese

@hack , I've been using a "license where you're not allowed to attribute the original author and must pretend that you wrote it yourself" (of a sort) on a non-software work, my personal FAQ (http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/), for decades.
I wanted to permit either verbatim replication with attribution, preserving my views intact, or unrestricted CC-style remixing and morphing of my personal views but with blowback towards me from third-party changes averted by the altered work being required to be asserted to be someone else's. So, the wording is:
"Copyright (C) 1995-2023 by Rick Moen. Verbatim copying, distribution, and display of this entire article (page) are permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. Alternatively, you may create derivative works of any sort for any purpose, provided your versions contain no attribution to me, and that you assert your own authorship (and not mine) in every practical medium."
https://federate.social/@dmarti described this licence (when I concocted it in the '90s), as "bastard reverse copyleft", and wisely cautioned about legal uncertainties owing to its novelty. (/me nods to https://teh.entar.net/@spacehobo)

Fun and folly to start the weekend. But, wait....your definition of "enjoyment" would be quite radically better and apt than mine. So, if you failed to get it, absolutely not your fault.
