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!

The 10 Coolest Open-Source Software Tools Of 2024

On Mastodon, a newly introduced feature allows you to link your blog articles to your Fediverse account. I recently added this feature to my Hugo Blog and wrote down the necessary steps: kotthoff.dev/posts/2024/mastod…

"“We’re building an open-source social network that anyone can take into their own hands and build on, and it’s something that is radically different from anything that’s been done in social media before. Nobody’s been this open, this transparent and put this much control in the users hands.”"

Well, once again, no. ActivityPub and the Fediverse really did this in terms of the users with no companies dictating the terms. What Bluesky is doing is not "radically different" or "put this much control in the users hands". We still can't 100% host our own instances on Bluesky and 90% of the user base is on Bluesky's servers. It did not start with users, it started with the company. Huge difference.

Let's dissect this...

"“The billionaire proof is in the way everything is designed, and so if someone bought or if the Bluesky company went down, everything is open source,” Graber said."

Well, no. Open source tools can still be bring down and we've seen examples of that, where even "open source companies" have been bought and shut down.

🚀 We’re happy to announce that @xwiki and @cryptpad will be present at @osxp_paris this December!

We’re joining forces with our friends from @openproject to showcase powerful, European open-source alternatives to proprietary tools like #confluence, #Jira and #Google Docs.

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!

#Google's AI tool, OSS-Fuzz, has detected 26 #vulnerabilities in #opensource projects, including a significant flaw in #OpenSSL.

This flaw, which could lead to application crashes or remote code execution, has existed for nearly 20 years and was only found thanks to AI-generated testing methods.

Every Linux user is talking about how good their Linux flavor is and how everyone should try their choice. Right? So by now, we must have thousands of flavors out there. Have you even tasted 2% of all the available flavors? How do they taste? Asking for friend 🤓 #linux #opensource


I like that you stipulated "share-alike" rather than open source, I think this highlights an important distinction between copyleft licences and permissive licences like BSD and MIT, that, as you put it, "if you benefit from technology that has been put into the commons, you must share back"

ah, no! It’s still my major network where I target much more users than here and have also the possibility to convince beginners and new users to #opensource solutions and especially #FreeBSD at a time where they’re mostly not even aware of the Fediverse. They should come to the #Fediverse by their own will - if not, they go to #Threads or #Bsky - with a bad fragmentation.


Why I 🧡 the web.

Could lead to maybe some fun #webdev ideas.


#Windows11 sammelt extrem viele persönliche Daten,wie Nutzungsverhalten und Standortinformationen usw,die oft an #Microsoft und #Drittanbieter weitergegeben werden. Dies führt zu #Datenschutzbedenken.
#Linux hingegen ist datenschutzfreundlicher, da es #OpenSource ist und keine persönlichen Daten ohne Zustimmung sammelt.
Nutzer haben mehr Kontrolle über ihre #Privatsphäre und können genau entscheiden, welche Daten sie teilen.

Daher ist Linux eine bessere Wahl für den Schutz der #Privatsphäre.

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.

Is there any up-to-date list of #QT5 / #QT6 open-source applications similar to the "Awesome GTK" list?

The Awesome GTK list shows native open-source #GTK4 and #GTK3 applications. The list is fairly up-to-date and mostly shows active projects: github.com/valpackett/awesome-…

Sometime ago somebody shared a screenshot of a service with a cookie message along the lines of:
"We take your privacy seriously" while there also was a list of 600+ vendors with whom data would be shared. Does anyone have this screenshot & the source? I think this was by Microsoft MS365?

Linux Kernel 6.12 Has Landed – And It's a Big One

This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.

I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.

So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

Recommendations for a free on-line vector graphics editor with a beginner student interface?

Asking for my better half: At the end of 2024 what are your recommended/proven #POSSE (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere) setups for people who aren't super technical (but would have help setting it up) and want to publish photos, short videos and the occasional blog post/essay? #OpenSource #FOSS solutions preferred, but also happy to consider commerical solutions and would need integration with IG/BSky, but also #Fediverse...


7 free open-source tools for amazing photo and video edits

While there is no shortage of powerful photo and video editing tools, most of them come with a hefty price tag or require a subscription to get started. It may discourage students, beginners, and freelancers from exploring them fully. Luckily, thank ...continues

I've just shared my story on why I've left other social media for the Fediverse at the Guardian.

Perhaps more people could tell them about this place? Maybe some of it will be published allowing more people to discover the Fediverse.
