Our new version of our configuration service Tomte (2.33.0.) brings a new module called text-boot to the users, which implements the correction of a bug when switching to TUXEDO OS 3 and Plasma 6.
First week of #30DayFOSSChallenge is coming to an end. My blogpost will be a few days late because I'll be camping for the #eclipse but I'm excited by what's already happening.
Looked up how GitHub implemented the Social Link thing with Mastodon… It looks up the Nodeinfo endpoint, so if it's not literally Mastodon it says no, instead of like supporting the Fediverse.
@lanodan That's just corporate laziness. #Microsoft only "❤️" #OpenSouce if it translates as "random people providing free labour for us to abuse". This gets them a lot of positive PR from the dumb masses, and the people who truly care for open source and federation weren't using #GitHub to begin with, so their (negative) opinions don't matter.
"Journalists" will report it as a very big and positive step, where "Microsoft embraces Mastodon" or some other catchy headline.
did the fedora survey thing and i just realized how actually detached from anything about the project i am
the only time i have ever tried getting in touch with a linux community were the arch forums and i think that experience makes me avoid any official channel altogether now #opensouce#linux#fedora
Unpopular opinion: planned obsolescence is not only pursued by corporations that benefit from it. It's also pushed forward by unaffiliated #OpenSource developers.
If you write inefficient and resource-hungry software (because "your time is valuable" and "space is cheap"), you push it forward. If you choose a newfangled programming language with portability issues, you push it forward. If you straightaway reject support for old hardware, you push it forward.
What's the general etiquette if you find something open source (Apache 2.0) that doesn't really work has had no commits for a while and you "fix it" but also change how it works somewhat. Do you go back and propose your changes (even if it's quite a lot)? Do you put it out there separately? Don't want to step on any toes 🤔
I'm hosting my own Git instance for a while now (Gitea) and I'm still not sure if I want to have it as my default/main instance or stick with GitHub as my main.
What would you do?
I'm also very curious what self-hosted instances you guys use.
@dell Ivory is really well done especially for someone who used #TweetBot for years, but Icecubes is definitely worth a try as a free #OpenSouce#SwiftUI app that has some really interesting features like a #ChatGPT integration.
My day job is a field engineer, which means I solve customer’s business problems with software. I’m a developer, solutions/enterprise architect, devrel depending on the day of the week.
