Xfce’s Apps Update for February 2023: Ristretto Gets Printing Support, Orage Gets #Wayland Support, Major Notifications Changes, and Much More 9to5linux.com/xfces-apps-updat…

#Xfce #Linux #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

@IzzyOnDroid #opensource at its best:

I recently installed vector pinball from @fdroidorg - great to kill some time, and especially fun because of the sound effects and background music. Out of curiosity I followed the link to the README in it's github repo. In it, the author thanks the guy who added the sound effects and music, who wanted to try out a sound library for android and therefore sought out a silent open source game and created sounds and music for it. He wrote an article about it here: twittering.com/webarchive_arti…

So thanks to this exemplary #FOSS collaboration I'm having a good time, whenever I have a five minute break.

Here's an early look at some fun content we're launching next week!

We're calling it "Meet The Team." It's a series of conversations with each member of the #Thunderbird team, about stuff like:

☑️ When they fell in love with tech or software programming.

☑️ What attracted them to #OpenSource.

☑️ What their day-to-day looks like hacking on Thunderbird

☑️ And whatever else we decide to ask them and they're willing to answer!

We'll start with @alecaddd's origin story... Stay tuned for more!

🕵️‍♂️ Today, the Open Source Programme Office (@EC_OSPO) held a Secrets Management Hackaton for the developers from the 🇪🇺 Commission.

The goal was to remove secrets from the internal projects' codes so that more 🇪🇺 projects can become #opensource and be shared on code.europa.eu.

Uno de los movimientos más inteligentes que he hecho es poner mi computadora de escritorio en #xalapa en una red local virtual con mi laptop.

Ahorita donde estoy no tengo suficiente internet para subir una imagen de contenedor al registro, pero puedo conectarme a la de escritorio y construir y subir el contenedor desde ahí.

El software que uso para eso se llama #nebula nebula.defined.net/docs/

The Call for Participation for #GUADEC2023 is now open!

All proposals must be submitted by March 27.

If anyone can help, the maintenance burden of this project is starting to weigh on me. I don't want to give it up, but without more help I may have no other option.

#Opensource funding challenge:

Go into your main project and, assuming it uses #npm, run “npm fund”

Pick 5 projects that don’t seem well-funded, and donate to them

Just did so (admittedly using “npm fund” for the first time), donating a little to @ljharb, @sindresorhus, @fb55@twitter.com, @paulmillr, and @wooorm

(Consider boosting to encourage more contributions)

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

And this week's #Linux and #opensource news video is finally here!

In this one, we have confirmation that #Windows 11 sends data to third parties after a fresh install, without user consent, we have @fedora moving to Flathub in their next release, an AI tool that violates #FOSS licenses, @thunderbird sharing a roadmap and some interesting history, and @gnome Software getting some nice performance improvements:

I am so glad patents were a later invention of Humanity.

Had the person who 'invented' fire patented it with our current intellectual property laws and convoluted ways of preserving the rights forever, we would have never left the stone age.

#OpenSource has always been the way of advancing our quality of life.

Our ability to collaborate is our superpower.

#Monocle is #OpenSource eyewear:

"a pocket sized #AR device for the imaginative hacker."

"...tiny heads-up display which clips onto your existing eyewear. It’s packed full of powerful hardware which is perfect for when you’re on the go. It connects to your mobile phone over Bluetooth, and includes a few handy sensors such as touch buttons, camera and microphone. The included FPGA is perfect for #computerVision, #AI or graphics acceleration directly on the device."

I just had whatever the opposite of 'future shock' is - I stumbled upon a telescope proposal from 2001 and I wondered if the #latex would compile - of course it did, and the proposal looked exactly as it should have.

In related news, I wrote my thesis in Word 98 and the next version refused to open one of my chapters for no obvious reason.

Plain text and openly documented image formats are definitely the way to future proof your work.... #astrodon #opensource #openscience #TeXLaTeX

What a conference! Thanks so much to @openuk for inviting me to speak yesterday. Lots of fun on the Sonatype stand today!

Also managed to speak to EM360Tech yesterday on #OpenSource (please ignore the spot on my forehead) 😂

Curious what #OpenSource & #FreeSoftware advocates propose for building a culture of accessibility in their teams.

Hundreds of companies showed up for #FOSDEM & are at #StateOfOpenCon right now.

As a movement, how do we:
- orient new people to our teams?
- ensure compliance are set up and maintained?
- keep up with best practices for sharing our code/ideas?

#SOOCon23

If you're looking for #privacy, the absolute best option is probably setting up your own #homeserver, but if you don't have the technical know how, the time, or the inclination, the next best thing is a #NAS!

These little things let you store files, photos, host websites, run containers, backup your computers, run office suites, all with simple GUIs, and can be cheaper than cloud storage.

Let's take a look at why you probably need a NAS at home:

"#OpenSource is critical public infrastructure"

Effective curation is essential & an existential issue if we don't get it right.

Nice reminder about all the people who have put together events like #soocon23

So good to see both #Diversity & #OpenSource as #ForceMultipliers

We can learn so much more by being #Open & making sure we are more #inclusive.

And great to see our case study included: a model to predict a patient's length of stay at admission. Developed as an #opensource from inception alongside our colleagues at @gloshospitals who are now deploying it in the wild.
