MagicLike, (edited ) Hey fedi - does anyone own a GL.iNet GL-E750 V2 (Mudi V2) and can help to make it officially supported by OpenWrt?
I am looking into getting a travel modem/router for a trip and would really like to have an option to go for a completely FOSS OS/firmware.https://forum.openwrt.org/t/is-there-already-support-for-gl-inet-gl-e750-v2/197542?u=magiclike

libreoffice, LibreOffice 24.2 (with new "year.month" version scheme) is our latest major release – but we're still maintaining the older 7.6 branch for a while longer. And today we're releasing #LibreOffice 7.6.7, a minor update: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/10/libreoffice-7-6-7/ #foss #OpenSource

ottaross, Aha - #FOSS tools for the win. Wondered to myself, can I export an #SVG out of #Blender?
A quick Duck Search tells me yes, there's a plugin called #freestyleSVGExporter which will do it!
You convert an object to a greasePencil object then export that as an SVG. Nice.
ottaross, Oh well Blender's Object > greasePencil > SVG export is very simple and fast! How nice!
When exporting the SVG, the current view is used, so if using an oblique view of your model (I used a dummy object here) you get an oblique SVG.
From an overhead view in Blender, I export to get a nice SVG that I can use for a PCB outline. Very useful.
Some pics for illustration:
The object is converted to a GreasePencil outline, and menus are shown where the export to SVG option is pulled out of a dropdown menu. The current view is from an oblique angle, so the resulting line drawing (aka SVG) will be the same view.
The resulting SVG file pulled into the Inkscape program shows a heavy line drawing as generated by the Blender application. It's very clean and nice.
An overhead 'plan' view of the same object. In this format, the shape is useful for me to import into a circuit board layout tool called KiCad which will let me use that outline in a circuit board design. Very nice results, and easy.
ottaross, My KiCad update download has completed. I'm doing a re-install, then back into the saddle to learn it all over from scratch with a small circuit board project.
But first some lunch.
NGIZero, Apply for Summer of Nix 2024 to join one of four teams in making selected free and open source software (FOSS) projects work reliably on a whim using Nix and NixOS.
Deadline May 10.
Summer of Nix is a rare opportunity for students or early-career professionals with diverse technical skills and interests to practice disciplined software development with Nix while contributing to the public good and receiving some payment for it.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/summer-of-nix-2024-call-for-participants/43249
librecast, As one of the projects that benefited from the #SummerOfNix last year, we can say that packaging a #FOSS project for a distribution you love is an immense public good. It helps the distribution of projects and helps to strengthen that distribution as well.
NGIZero, Listen to the @projetslibres_podcast with Walid interviewing Lwenn Bussière, Technology Assessor at NLnet, about #NGI0 and NLnet.
Lwenn: "The Internet infrastructure that we know very well comes from free software and is based on an often invisible, often unpaid work of volunteers and enthusiasts. We fund people who actually build sustainable solutions for the Internet."
The podcast is in French with transcriptions in both French and English.

NGIZero, Radically Open Security, the nonprofit computer security company donates 90% of its profits to NLnet. Today @ros turned 10 years old and crossed the magical number of 1 million euro in donations to NLnet.
Happy birthday ROS! And thanks a million :-).
We interviewed ROS co-founder and CEO Melanie Rieback to learn why she decided to give the company such an unusual business model.
libreoffice, New features are coming to #LibreOffice, thanks to participants in the Google Summer of Code 2024! Here's what they'll be working on: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/07/projects-selected-for-libreoffice-in-the-google-summer-of-code-2024/ #foss #OpenSource
matt, I just discovered the #Electrolux robot vacuum cleaner I have is based on #FOSS software. And you can download the source code from the website.
:kakao_shock:
matt, But maybe that explains why it doesn't fucking work right now and I am spending my evening troubleshooting the vacuum cleaner. :kakao_sweat:

thelastpsion, I'm in the mood to try to get more old #Psion software open sourced. If you can think of any old apps that you used on your Series 3a (or Series 5/Revo, but you all know I'm more of a SIBO/EPOC16 fan) that you remember fondly, I'll see if I can track the developer(s) down.

slink, (edited ) German #DeutscheBahn so geht das nicht. ihr habt #Digitalisierung falsch verstanden. sie bedeutet nicht zwang und überwachung, sondern zusätzliche optionen und mehr #freiheit. meine forderungen:
- alle websites und apps #foss
- alle apis frei zugänglich
- kein tracking
- kein 3rd party content
- anonyme buchung und zahlung
- alle services auch mit analog-äquivalentem nachweis (zB QR code gedruckt)

Ich dachte, zumindest #BC100-KundInnen könnten einfach einsteigen und losfahren !? Nein? 😮
slink, German @XR_Nuernberg_sunny2 akut sauer bin ich nicht, weil ich selbst betroffen wäre, sondern allgemein aufgrund der gefährlichen frechheit, banking-logins abzufragen und der abschaffung anonymer spartickets.

asperamanca, I have often wondered why #LibreOffice isn't more popular. Today I tried a very simple design with #Impress. Basically three rounded rectangles with texts of different alignments. Really nothing fancy.
I gave up in frustration after 20 minutes when rendered text alignments would not match the object's settings no matter what I try.
For a relatively new #foss project, I would start writing bug reports. For something as mature as LibreOffice, if such basic features don't work, it's not for me.
jeromechoo,
jeromechoo,
robcee, @jeromechoo @pheonix very true! I focused on the “whole app” angle, but libraries and back end tools are way more numerous.
rl_dane, I tried using #PulseSMS for a little bit today, because I remember liking it back in 2018 when I actually paid for the service.
I downloaded it and disabled its networking access immediately through #CalyxOS' firewall.
Even though it wasn't able to download ads, it still had blank ad banners, pop-up "buy premium!" screens and premium feature teasers like a thumbs-up icon next to the most recently received text with some small text saying something like "Try reactions!" (which sends you to the TRY PREMIUM! page.
This is without any internet access. It's all just hard-coded into the app.
I don't have a problem with these guys charging for their app, or charging a REASONABLE subscription fee for the service (being able to send SMS through any web browser), but man, apps in 2024 are just SO horrid. :'(The state of SMS in the FOSS world is still pretty bad.
I either have to live with flip-flopping between #AOSP Messages and #QUIK for the features I need, or whack a great deal of my #SMS history in order to reduce the db size so that #Fossify messages can run reasonably well without burning up my battery.Ok, sorry for complaining. I'm thankful for #FOSS. :D
gairdeachas, Hey #foss /#opensource community, how do you source skillsets outside of your core dev team's wheelhouse, be that volunteer or paid?
@DProofreaders is embarking on a proofreading UI redesign and the dev team doesn't have deep #UX expertise. What we do have are two existing ~20-year-old UIs, a laundry list of requested improvements, and a very opinionated community.
Any suggestions on how you find someone to help you wrangle that?
jvschrag, @gairdeachas What level of expertise are you looking for? There are a lot of just-graduated UX folk that might be interested in a “real” project they could add to their portfolio as they job-hunt. The university of Toronto near me has a summer intern program for their masters of information UX program, which is really good. (I’ve hired a number of people from there).
Although if you are talking full redesign, I’m guessing you want someone with more experience.
gairdeachas, @jvschrag Some just-graduated UX folks would likely be a huge help vs going it all on our own (and I do think it could be a good portfolio builder). Part of the problem is I don't know what I don't know -- or rather as a dev I know I don't know enough about this.
I suspect we'd benefit most from someone who could help us look at our current UIs (remember: 2 of them), our most-important feature requirements, and distill that down into some mockups we could discuss with the community and iterate.
lamacchinadesiderante, Italian https://proxyraye.copyriot.xyz
Proxy Raye è un frontend alternativo per XVideos. Permette di guardare i video senza tracciamento e pubblicità, tramite un'interfaccia pulita ed essenziale.
L'ho riscritto da zero in Next.js. La nuova versione contiene le seguenti migliorie:
- video HD e selettore qualità video.
- rotazione user-agent anti ban.
- switcher tema dark/light.
Il tutto è facilmente self-hostabile. Il sorgente è sul mio repo gitea e su codeberg.
Nelle prossime release aggiungerò altre cose importanti come i filtri per la ricerca e la possibilità di cercare su altri siti oltre a XVideos.
La pornografia è sostanzialmente innocua e sopravvalutata. La divisione porno/non-porno è un costrutto borghese originario della metà dell'800. La sessualità e il desiderio non sono confinate (se non illusoriamente) a certe pratiche o parti del corpo. Da una parte le piattaforme come XVideos hanno reso la pornografia più accessibile, sdoganando e permettendo la pubblicazione di contenuti con pratiche e corpi esclusi dal porno mainstream. Dall'altra rappresentano esperienze utente orrende: banner e popup ovunque, annunci ai limiti del distopico. Il senso di questo progetto è: attaccare il contenitore, non il contenuto. Far bruciare banda e impedire la monetizzazione. Un modo anti-capitalista di usare la pornografia. Questa serie di facciate malcela il tentativo di nobilitare qualcosa di banale e poco interessante come la pornografia. L'immagine è la prigione del desiderio. Buona masturbazione.
tallship, I'm unable to pull this up and boost here. Was able to get the whole stream on a Glitch-soc box np, and I can follow the curator here too, but I'm too tired to try testing on Hubzilla or Friendica at the moment; so I'll just post the link then, which may be of interest to some, ... Actually, I suspect, many.
We've had some discussions about this over in the Fediverse-City Matrix room, Where Ryan is also a participant. It's apropos of the recent onboarding with respect to Flipboard curators and also the nacent interoperability we're experiencing with Bluesky's ATP.
Baby steps folks, baby steps, as they say ;)

I'm interested in hearing any feedback you may have to offer and as always, boosts are welcome :)

opensoul, Italian Uso #Thunderbird praticamente da sempre, e negli anni ho donato varie volte
Ma negli ultimi anni devo dire il lavoro che è stato fatto per migliorarlo è senza eguali: merita solo premi ed elogi immensi!
(specialmente l'arrivo di TB sul mobile con #K9)
Per questo ho donato di nuovo oggi una somma maggiore
Chiunque usi Thunderbird e ami il #FOSS, consideri la possibilità di donare per il progetto e renderlo sempre migliore oltre che #LIBERO
thunderbird, @opensoul Siamo molto grati per il vostro continuo e crescente sostegno! Ci auguriamo che sappiate che queste donazioni hanno reso possibili miglioramenti come lo sviluppo di un'applicazione Android, quindi grazie per tutto ciò che fate! 😊 💙 (via DeepL)
libreoffice, Did you know that #LibreOffice has a tabbed user interface option? Make sure you're using the latest release, LibreOffice 24.2, to get the most from it! (And you can find it in the menu under View > User Interface...) #foss #opensource #freesoftware
max, @libreoffice what about libadwaita + gtk 4
