ZRythm reached 1.0.0 status yesterday. It's a new, powerful open source DAW, for all major platforms. However it runs really hot on my laptop, and not all my plugins were recognized. Bright future ahead though!

Just released LimboConsole for #GodotEngine 
🚀
It's an in-game dev console plugin—you know, one of those, with some neat bells and whistles. 😉 Been sneaking away to work on this for a little while. Oh, and it’s free and open source! 🎉

In light of the recent #Omnivore acquisition, I recently published a brief overview of the various #selfhosted bookmark and read later apps that can easily replace popular hosted services. As usual, they're all fantastic and should be considered based on individual preferences and needs!

"Come to the dark side, load Linux" we say.
Consumers: "No, no, we prefer the adware loaded OS, really. We only trust large corporations, Microsoft loves us. Please give us AI, and I like the advertising in my Start Menu. It will even be better occupying my screen! How dare you suggest a non-corporate OS!!"

FreeCAD 1.0 is out, and the binaries for various platforms are now available for download too (yesterday they released the source, but today binaries are available too). After 22 years of development, it's now a very robust app that competes head to head with heavyweights in the CAD space.

Anyone with personal experience and recommend a #FOSS alternative to Trello? Ideally one with a kanban board and calendar integration as well for tracking tasks.

In other #foss news #digikam 8.5.0 is available. It is now natively supporting Apple Silicon, so Rosetta 2 is no longer needed. Yey! This also completes the switch to Qt6.
A new contributor showed up and fixed an impressive list of Face Management issues: bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&classification=Applications&component=Database-Faces&component=Faces-Detection&component=Faces-Engine&component=Faces-Recognition&component=Faces-RedEyes&component=Faces-Workflow&component=Maintenance-Faces&f1=cf_versionfixedin&o1=equals&product=digikam&query_format=advanced&v1=8.5.0
Really great to see digikam evolve. (Still waiting for the native apple silicon build to be available via brew but that was already addressed today in github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/192255)

On my agenda today:
- set up my #RaspberryPi5 / install #Linux (Ubuntu MATE most likely)
- permanently delete my inactive 3 bird app accounts
- draft a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated about data sovereignty and my plans for the next 4 years
- finish reading #NeilPostman’s superb “Building a Bridge to the 18th century”
- chin up, be defiant and resist

I had to commemorate the start of this new era with a selfie (my sweatshirt was totally on point - happy coincidence). I’m sooo excited! I had always been intimidated by Linux (as a non-technical person) but the #Fediverse changed all that.
Let the great #FOSS #Linux adventure begin! ✊
P.S.: ended up installing #Ubuntu Desktop on my #RaspberryPi5
My goodness, it's so very easy to set up #RSS feeds in #Thunderbird.
(Thank you, @pluralistic for getting me to finally do this. RSS is POWERFUL.)
I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.
Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!
If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

@PrototypeFund will keep funding #FOSS projects for the next 4 years 🥳
We have spent the past year redesigning the fund to set up better support structures to help projects thrive after their initial funding phase. All the info about the new Prototype Fund is available here: new.prototypefund.de/en
The first application phase starts on Monday, November 11th, I can’t wait to read your proposals 🚀
The drama at Wordpress and a new “open source AI” definition that doesn’t require sharing training data is prompting new questions about open source.

You all know about Stirling-PDF, don't you?
A superb, FOSS, toolbox full of PDF manipulation, signing etc. tools.
This link is to the hosted version, so you can have a play but you can, of course, self-host your own version should you wish.
I haven't got "signing a PDF with a .p12 cert" working yet, but other than that, it is very convenient, even from a phone's web browser.

wallabag: a FOSS, self-hosted, read-it-later application
It's fair to say that I love @wallabag.
I’ve used it for years now, as a self-hosted, read-it-later, tool.
A couple of people have asked about it recently and, since I installed it long before I started my blog or kept particularly good notes, I thought that I’d install it again as a lunchtime project, and make better notes.

UPDATE: Bitwarden fixed this and continues to be FOSS!

Good job, Bitwarden!
ORIGINAL TOOT:
I've been a huge fan of BitWarden for years and have gotten many people into it, based on Bitwarden being FOSS and secure.
Now if the clients aren't FOSS any more (ie they now have proprietary dependencies), then I have no idea if they're still secure or not. Strike two out of two. Time to cancel my subscription.
