Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf aktuelle Entwicklungen rund um Friendica. Geplant sind unter anderem:
πΉ Γnderungen beim Start von Daemon und Worker πΉ Die neue Technik fΓΌr schnellere Seitenaktualisierungen
Wie immer gilt: Bringt gern eure Fragen, Erfahrungen und Themen mit. Der Austausch untereinander ist mindestens genauso wertvoll wie die vorbereiteten Themen.
π£ Gebt die Einladung gern auch an andere Friendica-Admins und Entwickler weiter. Je mehr teilnehmen, desto vielfΓ€ltiger werden Erfahrungen, Ideen und LΓΆsungsansΓ€tze.
Wir freuen uns auf einen informativen und gemΓΌtlichen Abend mit euch! π
For the past few releases our TROMjaro ISO would not boot into the live environment on real hardware. It was a Manjaro ISO that they finally fixed. So we just released a working ISO. Grab it from here forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-β¦
TROMjaro is already 6-7 years old. Stable, fast, based on #xfce and #manjarostable. With unique features - see the website www.tromjaro.com/
This release fixes the issues we had for the past few releases where the live environment would not work. We also bring with it the latest Manjaro Stable updates. One minor change.

OR when your business model is crumbling before your eyes - go BEG the government to "protect" your product!
AI Executives are shitting their pants given the release of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3. I seem to recall a similar situation re DeepSeek-1 in Jan. 2025.
All the freaking out about "winning and losing" and whining about "distillation" re China are the WRONG things to focus on.
It is a fallacy to think US Frontier Labs would be successful in locking down AI models and charging high prices for access in perpetuity. It is inevitable that open weight models would catch up, and put SERIOUS pressure on pricing.
Welcome to software - It just happens that China is leading the charge on this one.
The magic is NOT about the model. The magic is creating the guardrails and infrastructure (ecosystem) around the model, and supporting practical use cases the model excels at, and making them so good to use that no user wants to switch to something "almost as good", even if it’s a touch cheaper.

After more than a year on the waitlist, my Thundermail Early Bird invite finally landed. I subscribed without a second of hesitation and grabbed dol@tb.pro and dima@tb.pro before anyone else could.
Do I need them? Absolutely not. I already run my own three-letter domain, I am on Proton Visionary, Apple One Premier, and a dozen mailboxes I barely open.
But this was never about need. I want @thunderbird to make it. I want at least one piece of email infrastructure left standing that Big Tech cannot swallow. That is worth a subscription without a use case.

Ein besonderer Dank geht an Friedhelm ( @😺 Cat Man Friedhelm 😺 ) für seine interessante und praxisnahe Vorstellung zum Thema:
„Fediverse – wie sich alles zusammen nutzen lässt“
Anhand seiner Katzen-Webseite zeigte er eindrucksvoll, wie sich verschiedene Anwendungen des Fediverse sinnvoll miteinander kombinieren lassen. Er nutzt unter anderem Friendica, Mastodon, PeerTube, BookWyrm und PixelFed, um seine Inhalte zu veröffentlichen und unterschiedliche Zielgruppen zu erreichen.

Ah, finally, theyβre saying the quiet parts out loud:
βSure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end thatβs a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.β β Linus Torvalds
Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.
In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.
But then he goes on and concludes with this:
"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.
This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.
Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.
Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.
But Linus is wrong.
Tech is politics.
And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.
Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.
Why Free/Libre software is philosophically different approach for creating music?
"The industry has shifted to digital. This is where that illusion Stallman often spoke of really comes into play: you think you are the one giving instructions to your computer, but in reality, a corporation is the one issuing the commands, and the program will heed your instructions only to the extent the corporation permits. In the context of music, this means that corporations produce music, and you can express your individuality only as much as those corporations allow. You can’t extend the functionality of most modern DAWs however you please. Music creation has largely turned into the passive consumption of plugins; just as the listener is forced to "consume" music, the musician is forced to buy & consume plugins. Different plugins come into vogue at different times, influencing the sound of music and dictating what is trendy to experiment with."

The open web is one of humanity's best ideas. Keeping it open is up to all of us.
Code for the People, a new documentary short from director Bao Nguyen, tells the human story of open source: the people who built the web, the walled gardens closing in on it, and what it takes to keep it free.

One of the things we love most about our community is its passion for every detail. One of our design team recently sat down with ten of our users to learn how they use Thunderbird, and what would make using it even better! π£
Hey everyone! We've seen an overwhelming amount of interest over the weekend and our servers have been absolutely straining to keep up. We've pushed some code to optimize things, but at the current rate we have to shell out some money for better memory on the servers, although we can't really afford to.
We are looking for a person with great communications skills, who is interested in nurturing the relationship with our community and shaping the product together with our users. Of course, an #opensource enthusiast.
