I just read on the fediverse about a trackball input system that is open hardware. When I looked at the website I found out that they design a headphone and several trackballs and mice.

I am happy with my computer mouse. But out of curiosity I might try a product of them later this year

20 Jahre OpenStreetMap: Auf Augenhöhe mit Google Maps und Apple Maps

Gm,

Does anyone know of a tool, a follower tracker per day for Mastodon?
I need to show how good I am at getting Mastodon followers and don't feel like creating my own tracker... if it has historical data that would be awesome!

If it doesn't exist will build and share #opensource

I've proposed a merge request to GNOME's likely new Video Player app codenamed Showtime. The feature? Toggling between video duration and time remaining by clicking the end timestamp. :)

It's the little things!

I think this might be my first contribution to a GNOME Python app. It was a bit of a trip coming from Vala and JavaScript land, but I _think_ I did okay for a first pass.

Heather has a fantastic write-up of their experience at the event, which includes Ryan's inspiring, insightful keynote (seriously, watch it if you haven't already) and some conversations about calendars, flatpaks, and (controversy alert!) telemetry.

A new report from European Commission's Open Source Observatory gives an in-depth analysis of #OpenSource policy across 15 EU and non-EU countries.

It shows that governments are adopting open source to enhance
🔴 digital sovereignty
🟡 data privacy
🟢 control over digital infrastructures

I maintain that we need a "fall guy" group in the Linux desktop space to fund, develop, and openly release stuff that would get the Internet mad at existing players, so they typically avoid doing them.

Keeping in mind the intent is to push things forward while not caring about peoples' gut reactions (because technology is more nuanced than a gut reaction!), this could include…

#Linux #OpenSource #FreeDesktop #GNOME #FDo #KDE


I heard a discussion at #FOSSY24 regarding "FOSS outside of corporations," referring to the origin of the Free and #OpenSource software movement, beginning with hobbyists and foundations.

Thought I would also include the early contributions to FOSS from and through #HIgherEducation. Many foundational projects have their roots in #HigherEd.


Great news for #KDEConnect and another win for funding #opensource and #internships.

Thanks to the hard work of ShellWen Chen (颉文) for #GSoC, the SSHD server used for #SFTP has been upgraded!

Hello Jamers 😍

As you know, Transifex serves as our #collaborative translation #management platform. While the core principles remain similar, this tutorial diverges from its predecessor by focusing specifically on the translation of the Jami application. 📲

Are you #multilingual? Your skills can make a real impact! Join our translation efforts and help us break #language barriers! 💪

"Keeping VLC free and without ads is a no-brainer. I know people focus a lot on that part but, for me, it’s just the way it should be and it’s not difficult for me to keep it like that... Sure, more money would be fun, but most of the people I know who have more money are annoying." -- Jean-Baptiste Kempf
