If FLOSS is built on the four freedoms, and FLOSS has created an environment that is brittle, then perhaps it’s time for FLOSS to similarly augment the four freedoms.
We have to address this in a fundamental way. The alternative may well be the (eventual) end of FLOSS as we know it.

No #AndroidAppRain today? It's not that we were lazy. Your favorite cat and the ferret were rather busy looking for the 8th egg…
So just 5 apps updated today. One of them is Plexus, which returned to the #IzzyOnDroid repo on request of its authors, as at F-Droid their updates seem to be stuck. As Plexus was set up as reproducible build, you can easily update it from IoD now 
But now: enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo
I know you're biased, but I'd like your take: should every F-Droid user be using your repo? What does the official repo offer that yours doesn't, and vice versa? (In terms of FOSS guarantees, safety, review process, speed of updates, etc.)
Also, how involved are you with the official repo?
@neatnit Hard to answer in toots, but for a short one: 1) if they need apps offered there, yes. 2) F-Droid builds from source, but #IzzyOnDroid has faster updates, more transparency concerning "what's inside the app" and other scanner results in the repo browser, plus additional checks in place, see eg. android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…
More details in another blog post hopefully ready towards the end of this month. But a comparison matrix should better be done by someone impartial 😉

What would happen if you could take a piece of matter from a neutron star and keep heating it up under pressure? You can pump more and more energy into it - but according to Rolf Hagedorn's calculations back in 1964, its temperature will never go above 1.2 trillion kelvin! Past that point, all the energy goes into creating more and more new kinds of particles and antiparticles.
You see, the matter in a neutron stars is not just neutrons. It's also made of protons and other kinds of particles, called hadrons (not hardons). Only the lightest of these are common at low temperatures. But if you could heat the matter in a neutron star, so the neutrons start colliding with each other more energetically, there would get to be enough energy that more and more different kinds of massive particles get created in these collisions.
At least that was his theory. Now we know that all these particles are made of quarks and gluons, and when the temperature gets high enough these particles smack into each other so hard that they just *break*, creating a quark-gluon plasma.
But his idea of a maximum temperature was a good one. Whenever the number of energy levels of a system grows exponentially or faster with temperature, it will have a maximum temperature! And this is called the 'Hagedorn temperature'.
The simplest example is the 'primon gas', a theoretical gas where there's one kind of particle for each prime number, and the energy of the prime p is log(p). The partition function of this gas is the Riemann zeta function. 🤓 As you heat this gas, you approach the pole at z = 1, and you create a shitload of prime numbers.... in theory.

Your attention please:
Maybe you've never heard about it but since 2020, the Next Generation Internet programs, a sub-branch of the European Commission’s Horizon Europe program, have been cascading funding (via @nlnet calls) open source software in Europe. The massive fundings have enabled a great deal of free software development in recent years, and all without too many constraints (with too few transparency and monitoring, though… which urgently needs to be improved). Unfortunately, these NGI programs seem to have been withdrawn from the next round of Horizon Europe fundings to give priority to AI bullshit.
As a result, we’ve been invited to contact the National Contact Points, Horizon Europe’s national representatives, to express our concern and the importance of maintaining public funding for free software. With this in mind, we wrote an open letter at Petites Singularités and thought it would make sense to fork it out with Hackstub and ARN in Strasbourg for the French NCP to get other French-speaking free software orgas to sign. I’m thinking in particular of the software that has benefited from this funding, such as Yunohost, but also of the Kittens that use this same software.
We can also announce that this topic will be part of the central theme of the next #OFFDEM in Brussels, on the first weekend of February 2025. There's not yet an exact title, but we’ll be discussing financing and community structuring for free software over the next few years.
If you want to sign the french-speaking version of this letter, there's a pad for it: pad.public.cat/lettre-NCP-NGI
