Microsoft's Github Copilot is disregarding Free Software licenses and will be happily selling parts of your GPL code against your will! Woo!

drewdevault.com/2022/06/23/Cop…

As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.

Lots of understandable concern today as #Microsoft #GitHub announced their new #Copilot availability today. Probably worth a reminder that @conservancy has convened a working group on #ethics, #licensing, and other related issues, especially for #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource contributors.

Perhaps you or others may want to join or read more?

Boosts welcome! :boost_requested:

📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.

Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

You can read our Open Letter at: do-not-ship.it

If you agree with this letter, you can support it by signing it, see: do-not-ship.it/sign

I'm supporting @opensourceseeds in their crowdfunding campaign to develop an #OpenSource rye variety.

Why do we need open source seeds?

Over the last few decades seed variety has decreased dramatically due to commercial pressure and most are owned by only a handful of companies.

In many countries (including the EU) small farmers are unable to sell or even pass on heritage seeds without obtaining prohibitively expensive paperwork.

#musl is a lightweight libc.

musl is a lightweight and standards compliant #C standard library implementation. musl uses Linux calls very closely, making it faster than more general standard libraries as better kernel-specific optimizations are made. musl is highly compatible with standards as well as with glibc, allowing for it to serve as a drop in replacement in many cases.

Thanks to the beautiful @play0ad screenshots I got to have a great chat with my 10 year old nephew about #foss and #3dmodeling. He was very impressed by the #libre aspect and how anyone could improve and add to the software. I then showed him my name and avatar on the contribution list for @AntennaPod and he was so impressed with how many people worked together to make the app.
Just wanted to share this feel good story with the #opensource crowd, we're winning hearts and minds!






"Clear.Dental is an Open Source Dental EHR Suite that is made for dental practices and made by dental professionals. Most other software was made by software engineers who have no real clinical experience. Clear.Dental is different in that the software is made by a practicing dentist"

the Article sounded good, is has all the necessary Buzzwords about #Freedom with #OpenSource and of course how to Support the Course, until I read at the end about #Patreon. 😒

First you complain about BigDataCompanys and #centralized Systems against #decentralized and after all this you seriously advice Patreon as a way to support. What a cruel Joke?

Why not something like #LibrePay or Alternative? 😉





Open source in action and a step closer to EU's #digital sovereignty👉we joined forces w/ @EU_EDPS@twitter.com to enable technically the #FEDIVERSE pilot.

It shows how #opensource contributes to strategic areas such as data privacy and protection.
