#FreeSoftware developer? Looking to measure the #energy consumption of your software in a dedicated lab? Can't make the trip to #Berlin to do so?

Karanjot Singh is working to change that!

This summer remote access to the #KDAB measurement lab will become a reality. Read more at the #KDEEco blog:

Image showing a flow chart for remotely measuring your software's energy consumption. On the left is a drawing of a FOSS developer sitting at a laptop. The text below the images says: "Developer uploading Standard Usage Scenario on the remote portal." The first arrow in the flow chart exits rightward from the laptop and points to the Gitlab logo -- the GitLab Tanuki, which looks like an abstract raccoon dog in red and orange (designed by Ty Wilkins). Above the logo "Gitlab CI" is written. The text "SUS + Application config" is written along the arrow, indicating that the Standard Usage Scenario (SUS) and configuration file for the application being tested are uploaded to Gitlab. A second arrow exits the Gitlab logo and points to an unseen box to the far right of the image. The text "Gitlab jobs running" is written above the arrow, indicating that the energy measurement process has been started. A third arrow in the flow chart appears below the second arrow, but now it points back to the Gitlab logo. "Raw Data sent back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the energy consumption data is being sent back to Gitlab. The fourth and final arrow in the flow chart returns to the developer's computer. The text "Getting Results Back" is written along the arrow, indicating that the developer now has the results of the measurement process. Not shown in the image is the measurement lab setup at the far right of the flow chart. The full image can be seen at the blog post.

KEcoLab: Remote Energy Measurement Lab

In this post I start my journey in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with KDE Eco by describing progress made on the exciting project of making remote access to the Energy Measurement Lab a reality.

I love #LibreOffice because it's just works, and works great as well! It don't have features I don't need, like cloud service. And it is a #freesoftware.
#FreeSoftware #libreoffice

I love #Libreoffice for a number of reasons:
Because it is completely #FreeSoftware.
Because I don't have to pay for its full version.
Because it is no Cloud stuff.
Because it is fully GDPR-compliant, while MSh*it isn't.
Because it is simpler to use LibreOffice than doing everything in #LaTex.
The #LibreOffice suite is one of my most important tools since my school days. You helped me to reach university.

When a Free Software project (Profanity) is run by a jackass.

Just did a simple PR that changed a Ellipsis Char that does not display well on Arch Linux TTY (because it is a newer char), to 3 dots. A simple change.

It was not approved (after much time), although, in all the rest of the source code, 3 dots are used (3 dots is used 26 times in the source code). There is only one instance of the Ellipsis char, and it was this that the PR was changing to 3 dots.

:fdroid: After several months of hard work, it's a good feeling to be able to say our @fdroidorg board of directors is officially chartered and running, and finally with an official legal entity through Dutch stichting (foundation) Commons Conservancy.

💚 Very humbled to be able to serve in this inaugural group of talented volunteers, and even more excited about helping #FDroid into the future.

@devhonk
Unfortunately going with "permissive" license is not really being generous: it is giving legal justification to others to use your code to exploit users.

As I personally look at Free Software from the "consumer protection" angle, I don't think the so-called "permissive" licenses are ever a good idea.

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?

Apparently some dickhead (or dickheads, as the case may be) uploaded malware into an issue on Codeberg and shared links to it and managed to get Codeberg onto a number of block lists so some folks can’t access the site now because their ISPs are blocking it.

If you know the folks who run these lists and can help remove Codeberg from them, I’d appreciate it.

Heute vor zwei Jahren haben einige #FreeSoftware-Entwickler geschafft, was offizielle Stellen seit Monaten versäumt haben: Sie haben die deutsche #CoronaWarnApp in einer Version zur Verfügung gestellt, die frei von Abhängigkeiten von Google und in #FDroid verfügbar ist.

Ein ähnliches Problem haben wir bei der #NINA WarnApp – trotz unserer Kritik ist diese noch immer proprietär. Erneut muss die Community helfen: f-droid.org/de/packages/de.nuc… #Warntag (1/2)

4 years using and championing the #fediverse full time and I've never written a #introductions toot. Well, or I have and can't find it.

I'm a #blind guy from 🇬🇧 with a passion for #technology and #programming, particularly #lowLevel #systemsProgramming in #C, #C++, #Rust, etc.

I've been a huge #freeSoftware / #openSource advocate for the majority of my life. I run #Linux and I love open, #decentralised technologies like #ActivityPub, #Matrix, #bitTorrent etc.

In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

Currently working on odilia.app, various projects with the rest of the Lower Elements gang at lowerelements.club, and a Computing Science BSC at the #University of #stirling

Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.

You can sign it, too!
