Ada goes to the set: let’s make an animated movie - FSFE - Help us make a film of this story to spark more kids’ interest in coding and tinkering!

Is anyone aware of an existing framework or educational tools for delivering in-person FOSS workshops?

The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

Started my first job, it's a helpdesk. It looks that I get tickets and try to help people on the other side, have build some PCs and am at first week.

But after ~3 years of using almost exclusive FOSS, I found out corporate software (especially Windows!) to be so absolutely unbearable.

Having Windows as example, on the surface it is bearable, but as I need to do more advanced stuff, oh GOD!
I needed iperf3 to test LAN speed, traceroute to test why some device is not responding, rsync to copy files... But none of it is installed and installing every single program is super annoying and troublesome. After that I get countless update popups from all sides, ugh.

I'm trying to get tic80 working on RIScv but i ll need to build a custom version cos there are no prebuilts, how do I go about this?

SEX SEX SEX PROXY ALT-FRONTEND

Now that I have your attention...

Proxy Raye is a self-hostable alternative frontend for browsing adult websites without tracking or ads.

Think Invidious for porn.

Working demo here:

Repo (codeberg):

Currently (v0.4.0) supported platforms are XVideos, XNXX, PornHub (experimental), YouPorn, RedTube.

Hello, i was looking for a wysiwyg html editors i could use for my personal website, perferrably just as a simple open source desktop program on linux (though anything else is fine). i DID find something called KompoZer but i was wondering if there's any other ones, thanks

I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn't doing much of anything, so I'd like to dual-boot something "interesting". Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y'all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative.

The logo is just for attention, but EFF is a great cause that we should all support.

I currently use TinyWall Firewall, it works very well, it's small/portable, no complaints I even donated to the Dev but I would really prefer open source, also it needs to be user friendly like TinyWall so my non-tech family members can/will use it like they do with TinyWall.

Is there such a thing? I wasn't able to find anything in the F-Droid repository.

So there are so many Youtube front-ends for Android like ViMusic/RiMusic, spmp, SimpMusic and a big etc.. They basically extract the music and add a lot of functionality to the app like translating lyrics, downloading/caching songs, local playlists without Google account, radio mode and that kind of thing.

I know of three programs of this type for Linux (or desktop OS in general) and they're Moosync, Nuclear Music Player and Youtube-music.

I love Moosync but I miss the radio mode feature that I use a lot in Android apps, then Nuclear I haven't used for years since I know Moosync and Youtube-music doesn't appeal to me at all because it's just a Youtube music web application with plugins... and it doesn't even have local playlists...

So, does anyone know of any other programs of this kind that actually support radio mode and local playlists?

A lot of the issues reported here, started showing up on my device after each OS update, but VLC didn't push any updates for over a year now... VLC is king, but what went wrong?

Edit: I think I saw a post on Mastodon saying it something to do with Google Play Store policies change, but what about the Fdroid version.. ?

Suggestions?

New features and improvements

• Improved support for tablets on Windows
• Backports of other GTK3 features

What’s next

Clearly one of the smallest releases ever in the 2.10 series, and it might be our last. We’ll see, though we also know some people get stuck longer than others on older series (especially when using LTS distributions of Free Software operating systems), so we might do (if we feel like it’s needed) a 2.10.40 release with bug fixes only just before or just after GIMP 3.0.0 release, as a wrap up.

In any case, we are now stopping backporting features in the 2.10 series. These graphics tablet support improvements for Windows are huge enough that they had to get in; yet from now on, we want to focus solely on releasing GIMP 3.0.0.

Now you might wonder when that is? Very soon! We are on the last sprint towards the release candidate. This includes a lot of bug fixes, but also still some API changes going on. We will keep you updated!

Don’t forget you can donate and personally fund GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP. Community commitment helps the project to grow stronger! 💪🥳

GIMP 3.0 (Development branch roadmap

Which do you use and why?

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

This is a feature that as far as i know lemmy does not have, so it might be worth it to checkout and support piefed, it will probably be useful if there are certain topics that are really relevant to you and you want to develop in depth knowledge of.

I really would like to delete my account there and move on. Is there anything, solid enough, with a good rating system, some lists that I can make for myself or at least a simple “to watch”?

Would be cool to have a “where to watch / stream / buy” section and some basic info like people behind the movies and so on.

Major pros: good website and cross-platform mobile app.

I just installed letterboxd to check how it feels but before migrating anywhere I am more interested what I will read here.
