uniqx, It's pretty unsavory how everybody talks about #MarketPlaces when it comes to platforms for distributing apps. I guess because of #DMA. But it's important to take a step back and appreciate that like many other #FOSS platforms #FDroid is not a maket place, it's a #commons.

tallship, Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p
https://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki/Migrating_from_Monolithic_to_Client+Core - just ain't gonna cut it right now.
I still love HexChat.
Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?

ChasMusic, You don't have to be a programmer to contribute to open source. All you need to do is be able to file a good bug report.
- What you did, step by step. This might include information about your computer and software configuration.
- What you expected to happen.
- What actually happened.

NGIZero, Dnsmasq wins the first BlueHats Prize!
Dnsmasq provides network addressing for small networks: DNS, DHCP, router advertisement and network boot.
Dnsmasq creator & maintainer Simon Kelley said: "This prize is valuable financially, but much more so as a mark of public recognition that dnsmasq is still something that's worth doing."

The € 10 000 BlueHats prizes aim to place maintainers of critical #FOSS in the spotlight.
gamingonlinux, The article on Descent 3 being made open source was updated, as the licensing on the code seems to be an issue at the moment https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/descent-3-has-been-made-open-source/
RL_Dane, I hope someone forked it while it was still MIT-licensed. XD
chrishuck, As both a #crew96 fan, and a #ClevelandGuardians fan, I was inspired by the print linked below to create my own sign to show my support for the Crew on my desk at my office at work.
https://www.printables.com/model/155492-cleveland-guardians-logo
So, I fired up #inkscape to make the SVG, and then #freecad to create the 3d model that I then 3D printed. I printed the yellow part separate and glued it in.
So glad to have such great #foss tools to make ideas reality. Can’t forget #octoprint and #prusaslicer.

reesecommabill, @chrishuck That's rad as hell.
Since my wife bought me a diecut printer for my birthday a few years ago, I make my own heat-press vinyl soccer tees (which helps since I'm a geek that follows a ton of somewhat obscure teams).
chrishuck, @reesecommabill Thank you! A ton of fun to make what we want to show off the things that make us happy.

libreoffice, Look! A #LibreOffice feature you may not know about 😉 When exporting a #PDF the "Hybrid PDF" option embeds the original file. Then anyone with a PDF reader can view the file – and LibreOffice users can edit it too: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid#What_is_a_hybrid_PDF_file? #foss #OpenSource
DarkoVr, @libreoffice Still no success, with version 24.2.2.2.
libreoffice, @DarkoVr Hmm, OK! Please let our QA community know with a quick bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org and they can investigate – thanks 👍

LOL omg I remember the first version... and how I had to fight motion sickness at first, until I adapted. What a trip that game was, full 3d motion!!

caos, German #FOSS -Community: Infos zu technischen Problemen bei feddit.de 💻
Seit etwa einer Woche ist leider die Homepage von #feddit und damit auch die Community-Seite feddit.de/c/foss_de nicht direkt erreichbar. Das betrifft allerdings "nur" die Homepage bzw. das Webinterface von #feddit , also die Seite feddit.de
Die Föderation funktioniert aber und die Posts von/ an die Community erreichen trotzdem alle, die die Community (von Mastodon, Friendica, Akkoma usw. oder einer anderen Lemmy-Instanz aus) abonniert haben. Nur die feddit-User selbst werden ggf. weniger erreicht, sofern sie nur über feddit.de eingeloggt sind. Über diverse Lemmy-Apps oder alternative Frontends (bspw. alexandrite.app oder Quiblr ) funktioniert es dagegen.Inhalte dieser Community sind bspw. hier alexandrite.app/feddit.de/c/fo… und hier phtn.app/c/foss_de@feddit.de auch ohne Anmeldung vollständig zu sehen.
Ihr könnt also weiterhin gerne Infos oder Fragen mit #FOSS #OpenSource -Bezug an die Community schicken. Ich hoffe, die Probleme können bald behoben werden, ich informiere Euch, wenn es was Neues gibt!
gamingonlinux, MineClone2, inspired by Minecraft, gets renamed to VoxeLibre https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/mineclone2-inspired-by-minecraft-gets-renamed-to-voxelibre/
sirmikester, @gamingonlinux probably a good idea, better name imo too
MuffinJets, @gamingonlinux The name change genuinely makes me want to play it lol
ProvenPudding, Yup. Remember to #FOSS. Every day.
tallship, Thanks Evan, there's a bit to digest there, some of which I agree with, and some of which I don't, between what both you and the Other Evan had to offer.
It's good to get this stuff right out in the open, especially as the Fediverse is currently undergoing yet another paradigmatic shifts, perhaps an evolutionary step, but certainly, a complete game changer from much of the perspective offered in the Evan <==> Evan Essays ;)

hankg, The comments on a video about solutions to solving political divide in FOSS includes scolding him about acknowledging that LGBT people do actually exists is being political really highlights where the problem lies and it isn’t with the openly LGBT members and their supporters. Nor is the solution buying into the “apolitical” solution of erasing the open existence of minorities either. Fuck that noise. #foss #OpenSource #lgbt #politics
akroatis008, @hankg I don't think I have the context. What is this about?
hankg, @akroatis008 A YouTube video I started watching this morning. The impetus for that was apparently some strife in a FOSS project around the usual crap. I made the mistake of reading the comments even though I know better than to do that.
ultramarine, Reminder that if you paid for a copy of Ultramarine Linux, you got scammed. We keep seeing USB and DVD drives with Ultramarine on them popping up on eBay (and now Amazon)
Ultramarine Linux will always be available for free from ultramarine-linux.org, images.fyralabs.com, and FOSSTorrents. Do not pay for a copy of Ultramarine Linux.
ultramarine, they forgot the last step

madomado, @Ailunarenth Please read my post again. I don't think you understood what I meant, but TL;DR:
- we don't have money
- we don't have people
- I know and understand what you're saying
- I literally said Rawhide is unstable
- Tumbleweed is updated once Factory's bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested.
jaiden, @madomado @Ailunarenth I think there’s a serious misunderstanding of what rawhide is and who it’s for. Rawhide is not stable for day to day use and is only similar to openSUSE in the fact that it’s rolling release. Fedora upstream doesn’t care if they break rawhide because it’s not the point of rawhide to be a stable system, it’s for Fedora maintainers and devs, if it breaks they can recover or it’s in a VM so it doesn’t matter.
Additionally, if you’re proposing holding packages back like Manjaro does, that costs lots and lots of dev time, and has proven time and time again to cause more issues than it’s worth.
You’re asking for us to distinguish ourselves with a unique release model, but this model you’ve proposed would require us to give up the extreme stability that is foundational to our distribution and spend dev time maintaining rolling packages instead of developing features (that actually serve our mission)
Switching to Rawhide would be a move purely for the cool factor, and would not match our values at all.
Ultramarine could just not be for you, and that’s fine, there’s tons of fish in the sea :3

vsaw, Anybody knows a tool that
A: show me the current and projected share of #renewables in the #electricity grid
B: in my system tray
C: runs on Mac
BONUS: is #FOSS
I’m so close to writing some quick and dirty thing myself…
LovesTha, @vsaw I suspect that some of that plumbing may be part of HomeAssistant in a way that could be useful to you. But while that suggestion is nicely FOSS, it isn't really a software solution (HA really wants HW to run on, not just a VM//docker)
vsaw, @LovesTha At the moment I’m thinking more of „widget“ not “VM”! Something that provides me with actionable information at a glance. And for a v1 I’d be happy just to pull “grid level” data without taking any roof/balcony PV into account. That would be next step for me

RexTodon, @libreoffice I never realized how much triage goes into these bug reports! I've definitely written my share of duplicates 🤦 :P
libreoffice, @RexTodon No worries 😉 Even duplicates help us to see how many people are affected by an issue...
