When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1
I can only recommend just getting started.

Had to leave @librewolf Matrix group due to it getting spammed & people participating in this group getting invite spam including myself.
Apparently there is no option to counter this in @element or in the @matrix specs? Maybe it could be a bit less annoying if the room was invite only?
Anyways, I'm not willing to deal with this abuse & my only option was to leave this room for now. Pretty sad & angry about this type of behaviour still happening.

Still learning the ropes. Hoping to transition as soon as possible.
Lacking a calendar widget, though.
Lacking a sync feature for my phone's pics.
Still dependent on the Android features connected with Google.

In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to Michiel Leenaars, who professionally gives out buckets of EU cash to open source projects.

Máte pár minut volného času, který byste chtěli věnovat na věc sloužící všem? Upravujte #OpenStreetMap ve svém okolí, je to snadnější než tušíte.
Velké firmy jako #SeznamCZ vzali kdysi z OSM vše dostupné (#mapy_cz) a do OSM přestali přispívat.
Je spousta příležitostí, co v OSM aktualizovat: přidat nový obchod, upravit otevírací dobu, přidat odkaz na homepage úřadu, atd. To vše jsou velmi jednoduché kroky v pohodlném online editoru.

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.
If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).
If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:
- feat: add per-user rate limits;
- feat: suggest hashtags while typing;
- feat: swipe navigation between posts;
- feat: exclude stop words from timelines;
- feat: add shortcuts to other instances ("guest mode");
- feat: open post detail as thread;
- feat: post translation;
- feat: followed hashtag indication;
- feat: show source protocol for posts;
- enhancement: support for embedded images.
This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.
Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash

But what really worries me are my emails on Thunderbird. I really hope they're being very careful with extrapolating that already awful language to my favorite email client.

Mozilla's new direction of Firefox is scary. They seem to forget that the core audience is using Firefox for privacy and security and not for AI features. It is so stupid that they are following big tech. It is time to fork out FF and sponsor the development using donations. No AI or anything else was added to the FF.

@WofWca and I were discussing doing mp3 encoding in some web project. He suggested using some WASM port of ffmpeg. Farooq replied "Do you want to buy an entire home just to charge your phone with one of its outlets?". "If the home is FOSS" WofWca replied. "Trust me you don't want your home to be FOSS." Farooq answered and continued "Let's go through basic freedoms. Do you want your home to be used by anyone for any purpose?". And then WofWca was enlightened xD
Hey everyone, what's cooking in the open-source universe? 🤯 I just stumbled upon something that's seriously mind-blowing.
So, there's this Python library pretending to be a music tool (automslc), but get this – it's actually illegally downloading songs from Deezer! And the worst part? It turns your computer into an accomplice in a huge music piracy operation. Seriously, a digital pirate cove. 🏴☠️
And then there's this npm saga with @ton-wallet/create... Crypto wallet emptied, just like that! 💸
The moral of the story? Open source rocks, but blindly trusting everything is a recipe for disaster. Always double-check those dependencies! Automated scans are cool, but a real penetration test? That's pure gold. 🥇
Clients are always so appreciative when we can spot and fix this kind of stuff beforehand!
Now, I'm curious: What are your go-to methods for keeping your codebase squeaky clean and secure? Any tips or tricks you'd like to share?
