I was looking for nice #foss#software for kids to play with #audio. I found the Sugar software package that looks promising: https://www.sugarlabs.org/
Anyone has tried it and can give me an opinion?
Can anyone in the whole world submit?
...to have a "European dimension"... but you are from elsewhere? Don't despair: there are other ways too... A significant contribution towards the vision of the Next Generation Internet initiative also qualifies. What is good for the whole open internet also benefits Europe, after all. Or put differently: we are open to talent from far and wide to deliver the ambitions of the NGI. ...
Nein, niemand muss sich dafür entschuldigen (bei wem auch außer sich selbst? ;)). Aber jede*r sollte sich des eigenen Tuns bewusst sein und dann auch dazu stehen.
Victim Blaming ist der falsche Weg. ;)
Beispiel: Du nutzt das problematische Programm xy, obwohl es gute Alternativen gibt? Dann steh dazu, dass dir deine Bequemlichkeit lieber ist als deine digitale Souveräität und die der Menschen, mit denen du digital in Kontakt bist. Und suche nicht nach Ausreden.
@vl1 as much as i dislike current winamp this is super neat, i know there are some winamp fan continuation but all of them are closed i think, so having the source code would be great for people who like it to keep maintaining it and to possibly bring it over natively to other platforms
The highlight is the excerpt from the CEO's quote:
"Our focus will be on new mobile players. Still, we don't want to forget the tens of millions of [Windows] users who will benefit from thousands of developers' experience. Winamp will remain the owner of the software."
This is literally Winamp demanding free labor from the OSS community like a fucking parasite, giving nothing in return.
@libreoffice first, thank you for your amazing work. I wanted to ask, is there a way in Calc to permantly see header&footer while editing the document? Currently, I can only see it when I'm in print preview.
Liebe #foss Freunde, gibt's irgendwo Listen mit (Free)Open Source Software die besonders häufig in Unternehmen eingesetzt wird?
Hintergrund ist folgender:
Ich arbeite selbstständig als Trainer, aktuell vor allem für MS Office - Workflows mit Outlook/Kalender/ToDo/Teams - bin aber mit der Richtung von MS immer weniger zufrieden (und auch viele Kunden glaube ich, die können es nur nicht definieren).
Daher würde ich diese ganzen wunderbaren Zeit- und Arbeitssparenden Prozesse die ich mir für...
1/2
@kaffeeringe Ich glaube viel ist auch Vorauswahl der Tools - was spielt wie mit was zusammen. Zusätzlich stimme ich dir voll zu, es braucht unbedingt eine gemeinsame verbindliche Vereinbarung in den Teams. Und die Selbstverpflichtung gehe ich als User am ehesten mit, wenn ich mich auskenne und weiß wie ich was umsetzen muss. Sonst gibt's Widerstand und die Umstellung könnte am "MS war einfacher" scheitern.
Saddening me time and again is seeing individualism and fragmentation in #FOSS.
#Collaboration between projects that's so often low-hanging fruit, yet never happens. More anticipation of needs, helping each other, be stronger together. Yet it hardly shapes up to the extent that it could.
We seem to lack time to become sustainable, let alone 'win' from #Hypercapitalism. No time to seek collab as we prod on alone.
There are exceptions of course, and better collab tools are becoming available.
This makes no difference if new projects actively choose to go for proprietary platforms instead, and then make up excuses afterwards as to why this choice is supposedly valid.
The #FOSS community needs to understand that they need to actually use free software where possible, or collaboration will be never work out.
My new #Docker container home page. It's called "Flame" it's so damn simple it's lovely.. Thanks to @thelinuxcast for telling about this one ;) #FOSS#Linux
#Foss folk and others, hit me up with some good Peertube or Youtube content. Linux user stuff, edtech, minimalism. Art and culture. Simple living minus the gardening. Philosophy, sociology.
The YouTube heuristics are just atrocious. Watch one cat video? Here's 50 more. Oh you follow a productivity bro and some tech topics? Here, have some hustle culture with a side of some deeply disturbing misogyny. You like the English countryside? How about some Britain First?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Welcome in the #commons sweat shop, my dear friend. Slave away with us until the whip of #Hypercapitalism wears you out. Here's a set of FSF quality approval labels to plaster on your work of hard labour."
"Thank you! Let's change the world then. I'll start burning myself out, right away.. 😍"
