Been adding restaurant ratings and reviews to Mangrove Reviews @mangroveReviews using MapComplete @MapComplete

Iโ€™ve written 6 so far, and thereโ€™s more to come! Plenty of WIP drafts to finish ๐Ÿ™‚

This really plays to my strengths, combining my love for

  • writing,
  • improving OpenStreetMap, free data, and freedom-respecting software,
  • reviewing (as a child, I liked to review the theatre I watched with my parentsโ€ฆmy parents and their theatre friends would often ask me for my review after the show, and would listen to me intently ๐Ÿฅบ)
  • โ€ฆand trying new things to eat and drink!

If you like my open data reviews and photos, please support me on Liberapay! I need to be able to afford eating out to continue reviewing ๐Ÿ˜…

PS MapComplete currently removes all line breaks from the reviews it displays (which breaks things like paragraphs and bullet lists), and Mangrove Reviews truncates the text of the reviews it displays. So thereโ€™s no perfect way to view the reviews right nowโ€ฆIโ€™ve let the developers know about these issues and they will hopefully fix them soon.

I really like the idea of, instead of collaborating on a document via (for example) Google's servers and Google Docs, being able to have collaborators' computers talk to each other directly and share edits that way.

I really hope that "local-first" gains at least the sort of steam the FOSS movement has โ€” as I've seen people comment, FOSS doesn't help if your computation is happening on someone else's computer.

I use #libre office because it's free and just as good as W**d. And I don't think it's tracking my every word. Used it happily for over a decade and not looking back ๐Ÿ˜Š


#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 15 updated and 2 new apps:

Aaand I'm excited to announce that one app returned fully FOSS, and will soon show up as reproducible at F-Droid (so you can cross-update)!

๐Ÿฅ

* Amethyst: Nostr Client for Android

will soon be the first Nostr client entering F-Droid, if I didn't miss any.

Enjoy your #free, #foss & #libre #Android #apps with #FDroid and the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:



Oho, one more #AndroidAppRain today, at @fdroidorg with 24 updated and 3 new apps:

* Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup: roguelike adventure through dungeons

Enjoy your #free & #libre #Android #games & #apps from, at & with #FDroid :awesome:


If you look at the roadmap for our next major ESR (#Thunderbird Supernova, version 115), you'll notice our goal to complete most features is Q4 2022.

That's because we're entering "feature-freeze" by the end of 2022, and then spending several months on polish and refinement.

This should also mean a longer beta-testing period (and yep, we're working hard on official stable and beta #Flatpak channels).

We want Supernova to exceed your expectations. developer.thunderbird.net/planโ€ฆ

The free open source livestreaming platform OwnCast has set up a demo server at:

watch.owncast.online

It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.

If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.

OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

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!
