Sharing an interesting #foss #dev job opening from @kde

"KDE e.V., the non-profit organisation supporting the KDE community, is looking to hire a software engineer to help improve the software stack that KDE software relies on."

ev.kde.org/resources/callforpr…

It's a #remote contract position, and a great paid opportunity for people who have already contributed to KDE software. But even if you haven't, you can still apply! All details are in the linked job description. Good luck 💪


Just learned today there's a pendant to #FDroid for #macOS & #iOS users called "App Fair". I'm not using any #Apple device – but if you are, you might be interested to take a look. And if you're a developer and want your #FOSS #app there, I'm sure you'll want to take a look as well:

appfair.net/


Coming to #android? No way! Currently using FairMail, but honestly the interface is pretty rough. And the other #foss option I'm aware of is K9 which is very old school and doesn't really cater to the archiving approach to email. I'm really excited to see what Thunderbird will bring.


Tomorrow (Wednesday at 1700 UTC) we're presenting Part 2 of the annual State of the Onion!

Last week's presentation focused on in-house Tor Project teams; tomorrow will be focused on community projects. (This part is always super interesting to me.)

Please join us!

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?

KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!

> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.

Public Money, Public Code 🇪🇺

Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?

We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well.

Code paid by the people should be available to the people!

OK, Update-of-Relief: It's working! 🥳 Thanks to the AMAZING!! support by @shiftphones "main developer" (who got me a fixed OTA within a day of being in-the-know of the issue – well, within a few hours of the culprit being found 😲), and the AMAZING support by project contributors to identify the cause, all is working fine now.

Other ShiftOS-L users will receive the OTA shortly & automatically.

#FOSS rulez :awesome: (yes, ShiftOS will be foss soon™ as well I've heard)



#twitter: the blue checkmark soon costs 8$/month and does no longer mean much at all ❌

#deltachat: the blue checkmark does not cost money and guarantees someone is verified by you or by someone you verified ✅

as an extra, you can even protect your chats with verified persons against active attacs! ✅

anyone know of any #FOSS software / tools I can use to pitchshift some audio without changing duration? or am I going to have to bother our audio team... #audio #music #production



Time for an #introduction. I've been involved in #FOSS and #Linux since the late `90s. My career started as a sysadmin, pivoting to security. I'm the President of @purism and work on hardware and software to protect #privacy, #security and freedom.

I've written a number of books (kylerank.in/writing.html) and was a long-time columnist for Linux Journal magazine.

I have many hobbies including #weaving, refurbishing mechanical #calculators, #3dprinting, #brewing, and many other things.

Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.

HiFiScan is an open-source application that lets you either manually or automatically create an #EQ curve to compensate for your speakers or room frequency response in order to achieve a flat, neutral audio reproduction. There are well known commercial products that do this, so here's a #libre alternative:

It can export curves that can be imported into system-wide EQ software for Linux, Mac and Windows.
