It is long past time for us to build a movement where we shower recognition, rewards, and donations on the devs that were selfless and wise enough to share their source code with the community.

Since the recent rash of devs looking to capitalize on a FOSS platform by spamming their closed source apps here, I decided to build a community dedicated solely to Free and Open Source lemmy apps and software.

Please join us. Help fight #enshittification before it takes over Lemmy too.

For me, it’s obviously Linux.

But after that, it has to be Haskell.

It seems like the ultimate way to show WHY and HOW a company is poorly run… or the inverse.

Not sure why they didn’t want to post it on Krita’s community channel!

In the process of forking Xmonad, it was discovered that a lot of work would need to be done in getting a Haskell compositor working. Currently, the compositor is being worked on using Tiny-wlhs: A Haskell-Driven Wayland Compositor (Seeking Contributors!)

tiny-wlhs began as an experiment to explore Haskell bindings for wlroots. We took the simple tinywl C compositor and turned it into a Haskell-controlled shared library. This approach lets us incrementally port C code to Haskell while keeping a working window manager. The immediate feedback from a functional compositor is invaluable during development and provides something solid to work with. You can find the project on GitHub: https://github.com/l-Shane-l/tiny-wlhs 25

The moment has arrived! ✍️

The signing ceremony is happening now, officially marking the Cardano Constitution as the foundation for a decentralized governance model.

This is a significant achievement, made possible by the collaboration, feedback, and dedication of the global Cardano community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this journey.

The Constitutional Convention is not only a celebration of Cardano’s evolution but also a testament to the global mission that has led to this moment.🌐

Over 1,400 participants across more than 60 workshops have come together to craft a Constitution that reflects the diversity and inclusivity of our ecosystem. Each workshop has appointed a Constitutional Delegate to take part and represent their voice. With delegates arriving in Buenos Aires and Nairobi from around the world, the Convention demonstrates the power of collaboration across borders, perspectives, and cultures.

Cardano’s governance journey is proof that decentralization can bring us closer together, redefining how we create and uphold shared values in a global digital landscape.

Let's make managing infrastructure on your own machine less cumbersome. Simplify it with NixOS and containers.

When FOSS? (infosec.pub)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Is there any plan to open source the code in Arctic?

I was recommending this app the other day at a FOSS meetup and I felt like such an idiot when the group broke it to me that this app is closed source.

I have been using it for a long time (and even paid for it). For some reason, I remember hearing that it was FOSS.

If not, what would it take to get you to open source the non-pro features?

As it is, the ubiquitous app in this ecosystem is Voyager (and that’s a crummy PWA) which is fully open source. As a result of that decision, Voyager enjoys a LOT more popularity because it is open source.

You may even get free help as a dev if you open source it. Right now, I’m planning on making my own that is open source from day one … but it would be nice not to have to reinvent the wheel again on iOS.

Vote with your wallet. Boycott rent seeking companies that lock away their IP and charge money for access to it.

For example, FOR ADOBE TO DESERVE MY MONEY EVERY MONTH, 100% OF THEIR TECHNOLOGIES SHOULD BE OPEN SOURCE.

The only rent I happily pay for is a good VPN.

The film industry is dead and streaming killed it. Pirate movies over a vpn as much as you want.

Movie studios are now just landlords. They’re run by boards of directors, focused on nothing but number go up. They want money for sitting like a dragon on top of a stockpile of content. Fuck them.

I read that algae actually makes up more of what we know as oil than decomposed dinosaurs.

Edit: the source of that tidbit. He does a cool demo at the beginning.

I’ll put it this way:

At least 68,000 Americans die every single year due to not being able to afford healthcare.

We pay an extra $450 BILLION annually to enrich unnecessary middlemen and ALL of our politicians are being bribed (or primaried) to prevent Single Payer. You’ll hear people like Kamala and Warren talk about “access” to healthcare while they receive massive bribes from healthcare companies to pull support away from Single Payer and offer a “choice” or “access to health care”. Remember 2016 and 2020? The DNC pulled out all stops to prevent Single Payer. Remember when Bloomberg ran for office and claimed , “under my governorship, New York had less uninsured people than at any time in history” while failing to mention that he enacted steep penalties for being uninsured? That’s neoliberal gaslighting 101! Kamala loves to do it too! But yeah vote for her because she’s “one of the good guys” and certainly wasn’t one of the people that was tasked with preventing Bernie Sanders from winning the primary two cycles in a row, offering “Medicare for All who want it” so stacked with asterisks and legalese means-testing that probably like 50 people would qualify.

Edit: In my opinion, anyone who is paid to run for office and vote against Single Payer is a murderer guilty of (or at least partly responsible for) the slow, often-painful execution of these 68,000 American citizens per year.

I have student loans that I’d love forgiven but I don’t even mention that issue because true Single Payer (and Gaza obviously) are my moral lines in the sand that almost everyone in Congress except Rashida Tlaib has brazenly trampled.

I am a fairly radical leftist and a pacifist and you wouldn't believe the amount of hoo-ra military, toxic masculinity, explosions and people dying, gun-lover bullshit the YouTube algorithm has attempted to force down my throat in the past year. I block every single channel that they recommend yet I am still inundated.

Now, with shorts, it's like they reset their whole algorithm entirely and put it into sensationalist overdrive to compete with TikTok.

Music to my ears. Tax money should go to open source projects.

I have a solution:

governments should heavily fine companies that are subject to data breaches.

If it cost them real money (proportional to their market cap, the amount of customers affected, and/or the severity of the breach) to allow a data breach, I’m betting they’d shore up those holes REALLLLLLLLLL QUICK.

This post is confusing because you barely shared any content. That photo is as non-descriptive of the work you did as is possible. Consider adding other photos to give us a clue of what we are looking at here.

Aaron would be appalled at the state of the world of today if he, like so many brave, selfless defenders of human rights, hadn’t been murdered by the capitalist cadres of yesterday.

Break up Adobe. They have had a monopoly on creative tools for more than 10 years now.

I mean, they’re not wrong but Instagram, Facebook, etc should also be in that lawsuit.
