Malus, which is a piece of "satire" but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell, redistribute, etc. the software without crediting the original developers. But I have a hard time with the "clean room" argument since the LLM doing the behind-the-scenes work has already ingested the entire corpus of open source software -- and somehow the output of the LLMs isn't considered a derivative work.

Why Use This Circle To Search App?

The Problem with Google's CTS Version

• Forced Cloud Syncing: Uploads your selection to servers even when you just want to copy text.

• Get's accidentally triggerd frequently, exposing sensitive data instantly to google

• Ecosystem Lock-in: Restricted to Google Search—no support for Bing, Yandex, or AI models.

• Locked to Google ecosystem—no choice of search engine

• Missing Features: Useful features like "Share" and "Save" have been stripped out.

• Hardware Exclusivity: Only available on expensive flagship devices (Pixel 8, Galaxy S24+).

What We Do Differently

• Only what you circle gets processed—nothing else

• True Offline OCR: Text recognition works 100% locally on your device—no internet needed.

• QR detection offline, Smart Scan offline—no unnecessary servers

• Universal Compatibility: Works with any search engine (Google, Bing, Yandex, TinEye,).

• Restored Utility: We brought back the "Share" and "Save" features Google removed.

• Works on any Android device, not just expensive flagships

• Works on De-Googled Devices no google programs needed.

• And has many other useful features

100% Independent: Works on any Android phone (Android 10+), without requiring Google Play Services or OEM-specific software.

Privacy-First: No background tracking or logs—just pure on-device selection.

It still needs a lot of improvements and isn't polished yet, as I am a solo developer working on it. You can download it from GitHub for now, as the new update is yet to be released on F-Droid.

I am interested what do you use for tracking your expenses and other things like income, lending, investing, ...

All apps i tried don't have a lot of features or those features are buggy (or they at least seem so).

Have you found some app that does all that you want or do you use spreadsheets or some other solution?

New York’s state budget could pass within days. Buried deep in the text is a provision that has nothing to do with balancing the books. Part C of the budget bill would require every 3D printer sold in New York to run surveillance software that scans every design file you create, and blocks anything an algorithm flags as a potential firearm component . A separate provision would expose researchers, journalists, and educators to felony charges simply for possessing or sharing certain design files.

the immediate blocker when trying to run this Python project is that a native package deep within its dependency graph won't compile without gcc-12 even though gcc 15 was released in August last year

that's not even targeting gcc 14 which was released in 2024

and to hardcode this expectation without a Dockerfile or some Python-native mechanism to pull in a specific version of a C/Cxx compiler ...

Hi everyone!

I do some contributions to OSM and wonder why it’s not building “shortest” possible way (marked as green?

Also, will OSM - OrganicMaps\CoMaps will introduce any time soon ability for public transport routes?

I try OsmAnd+ but didn’t really like it 😥

Upd: Path is diffenetley mapped

Thanks

P.S. The BENCH IS DIFFENETLY NOT ON THE WAY

I'm using the default messaging app on e/OS and it doesn't support emoji responses. Not sure if this is a de-Google limitation or if other apps do have it. If so, any recommendations on basic SMS apps?

We have launched our wiki and forum that is built around collaboration on Libre projects. The aim is to create a community built around genuine and lasting connections, where people can work together on various projects across various disciplines - from artists to software developers...we hope to create a hub for skill-sharing and project creation.

In an age of instant connection, we are still remarkably lonely in our creative work. You can have a niche interest and instantly find someone across the globe who shares it — but sharing isn't the same as collaborating. At some point in your creative journey, you may lack a specific skill or just need fresh ideas to move forward.

UnfinishedProjects is an attempt to connect you with other creative individuals and serve as a hub for open-licensed work. Our goal is to enable small, meaningful contributions across multiple projects, allowing us to move them forward together. It is an experiment in breaking isolation . . . an attempt to bring stalled ideas, or those simply too complex to finish alone, back to life through the power of collective contributions.

We aren't just another place to talk about what we like. We don't want to be yet another modern social media platform. We have faith in selfless connections and aim to build a place for meaningful and thoughtful discussions. We want to promote collaboration over self-promotion — a space where "incomplete" is not a shame or failure, but an opportunity to exchange with others, to build together, and eventually . . . to share the feeling of pride in what you've achieved.

We hope some of you will check out our platform as we try to establish our community.
Feel free to stop by our forum and introduce yourself at https://forum.unfinishedprojects.net/ - or read more about or community vision on our wiki at https://unfinishedprojects.net/wiki/About/Vision

In an age with modern social media and internet, it can sometimes be hard to sit down and dedicate time to build lasting relationships and communities, but we hope that our forum is taking a step in the right direction, and that you will help us build it into a community that brings back some purpose into our digital lives.

so i've been searching for a long time for an image tagging software, there are some tools out there, some are electron based so no thanks, then there's Hydrus which is actually very similar to what this does, but the GUI is horrible and the installation is way more complicated. I created a docker compose file and I was running Blombooru in a few minutes. So if anyone was looking for something like this to organize their system, please give it a try because it is really good!

I'm on Windows and I often receive photos from iPhones in the HEIC format. Though I can convert them, it's annoying to have to do that just to view the dang photo. Is there a FOSS program that can open them without converting them? Something like VLC which pretty much handles all video formats.

I've tried downloading the HEIF Image Extension but that does absolutely nothing.

I kept running into a situation where my OpenAPI spec and my test collection described the same endpoints but slowly drifted apart. Someone updates the spec, forgets the tests. Someone fixes a test, doesn't touch the spec. The usual.

I built VolcAPI to collapse this into one file. You add a v-functional-test extension to your OpenAPI spec and define test scenarios in the same file or different files. The spec becomes executable.

paths:
  /auth/login:
    post:
      summary: User login
      v-functional-test:
        scenarios: ["valid_login", "wrong_password"]
 
scenarios:
  valid_login:
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    request:
      email: user@example.com
      password: correct
    response:
      status: 200
      body:
        contains: ["token"]
 
  wrong_password:
    request:
      email: user@example.com
      password: wrong
    response:
      status: 401

volcapi run volcapi_local.yml -o openapi.yml

It's a static Go binary — no runtime, no dependencies. The immediate goal is CI integration: JUnit XML output and a working GitHub Actions example are in progress.

This is alpha. GET/POST/PUT/DELETE work. Response validation works. CI output formats are next.

Curious whether the "spec as test suite" model makes sense to people here, or whether you'd keep tests separate from the spec on principle. I've gone back and forth on this design decision and haven't fully settled it.

@opensource #codeberg is great in creating cloud ☁️ repositories for images. Here l can easily store my images online, and also download them whenever and wherever I feel like.

However, the Codeberg team has contacted me and informed me that this isn't exactly the kind of use that Codeberg has been designed for. And they've given me a timeframe, after which they're going to delete my repository.

Can anybody suggest me some other platform where l can store my images and also download them at my convenience, which is as great as Codeberg ??

Small. Compact. Usefull.

Yes I will jailbreak it to get KUAL and KOreader. Thanks kovid and open source.

If there any Fediverse\OpenSource alternative to LinkedIn for Job Finiding? Thanks

Hi everyone!

Dograh is an open-source, self-hostable voice AI agent platform. It lets you build phone call agents with a drag-and-drop workflow builder. Think n8n but for voice calls. It's an alternative to Vapi, Retell, etc.

(Any star would mean a lot - super appreciated ⭐️)

We've been building this for about 6 months now, just me and my co-founder. Fully bootstrapped and we have said No to inbound VC money to stay that way. It's been exciting but also exhausting, we're getting 5-10 tickets a day now and still figuring out how to keep up with that while shipping new stuff.

Here's what's new in v1.20:

• Speech-to-Speech via Gemini 3.1 Flash Live. Instead of stitching together separate STT, LLM, and TTS services, this collapses the whole pipeline into a single connection. The calls sound noticeably more natural.
• Pre-recorded voice mixing. You use actual human voice recordings for predictable parts of the conversation (greetings, confirmations, hold messages) and TTS only kicks in when the agent needs to say something dynamic (use cloned or same voice as fallback) . Saves a lot on TTS costs but most importantly makes bot sound human (because its actual human voice) and lowers latency
• Post-call QA with sentiment analysis and miscommunication detection.
• Full call traces via Langfuse Apart from the above key highlights, we have all the basic stuff: tool calls, call transfer, Knowledge base, etc. Docker setup takes about 2 minutes. Bring your own API keys, no vendor lock-in.

**What's on the roadmap (happy to hear more requests):" **- Full support for self hostable open source AI models (LLM TTS STT S2S)

• More integrations. Happy to take suggestions here One clarification since I know this community cares about this stuff:
• Dograh is BSD-2 licensed and always will be. No bait and switch. Everything we build goes into the open source.

Just trying to build something useful and keep the lights on. If you can check it out and give us a star it would be a blessing ❤️ , but if not, I love you anyway :)

Hey! I shared NAS Monitor here a while back – figured it's time for an update since the project has grown quite a bit.

If you want a quick overview first: 📺 https://youtu.be/IGdEm8DbXmg

What's new:

• Real-time WebSocket push & SSE streaming
• Traffic charts with Download/Upload in MiB/s
• Temperature history, threshold alerts
• Docker container controls (start/stop with toast/confirm UI)
• Container logs viewer
• Home Assistant iframe embedding
• Downtime tracking & storage forecast
• Secrets via Docker Compose instead of env vars
• Frontend split into 8 modular JS files (might be interesting if you want to contribute)

Plus a bunch of fixes around disk health parsing, Docker 500 errors, container stats latency and SSE cache bypass.

Still looking for contributors – the codebase is a lot cleaner now and easier to get into.
