Opensource

Ruby Central recently took over a collection of open source projects from their maintainers without their consent.

I was curious about your opinions (Not my article). Also this mentions Fossil & Pijul. Which are fully-fledged Git-Alternatives (Not just github)

It seems to be a manual setting right now

Publication about the monopoly of GitHub and the fact developers should move elsewhere if they care about their freeedom and the freedom of FLOSS projects

The Austrian Armed Forces have been preparing for the switch to LibreOffice for a long time. Other LibreOffice users will also benefit from this.

The HIROH phone is apparently launching with /e/OS exclusively or before there is an Android version (which is great :)) ♥️

• 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage expandable up to 2TB, giving you room for everything that matters.
• A 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a camera system pairs a 108MP Samsung sensor with a 32MP Sony front lens for crisp, striking detail in every shot.
• A hardware kill switch; disconnected completely the microphone and cameras at the circuit level, leaving nothing open for intrusion.
• A software-based switch, to easily turn off all your radio signals, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

Spotube is an open-source music streaming platform that functions as a lightweight alternative to the official Spotify client[^7]. The app allows users to stream music without requiring a Spotify Premium subscription.

Key features include:

• Ad-free listening using public Spotify and YouTube Music APIs
• Cross-platform support for mobile and desktop
• Downloadable tracks for offline listening
• Time-synced lyrics
• Anonymous/guest login
• No telemetry or user data collection
• Native performance without using Electron

A notable limitation is that Spotube can sometimes play mismatched tracks, particularly for less popular songs. Users have reported cases where the app plays incorrect versions of songs from YouTube when the original Spotify track isn't found[^5].

The app is available through:

• F-Droid for Android devices[^7]
• GitHub releases for desktop platforms^4

Hi Lemmy,

I've created a bot that I envision helping the Lemmy community, although admittedly it might be a problem that doesn't need solving. Big social media platforms like Meta have buildings of people moderating content, it can be a very labourous and arduous task to keep internet content safe. I've not really seen anything on Lemmy that is offensive, so I think the moderation is pretty good (or you peeps in the community being great). If content was questionable, then this AI bot, LemmyNanny, could be a good start at adding an robot eyes to moderation.

About https://lemmynanny.ca/

While creating this bot I felt like it was producing some interesting responses. As LemmyNanny ran on my tablet, the console output kept my attention as I wanted to see what the AI was processing next, what it was seeing and what it was thinking. I'm a web dev by trade, so I extended LemmyNanny to have some webhooks to push elsewhere (could be good for logging if actually used as it was envisioned).

But yea, it's just a few weeks of me musing and hacking together something for the community. Hopefully you find it novel if nothing else, maybe make a drinking game from it 🤷‍♂️.

Hello everyone, it’s me again)

Thank you to everyone who follows VOID and supports the project. I want to share some important news: VOID needs your help, and that’s why we’ve launched a survey to better understand which features and approaches you really need.

For those hearing about it for the first time: VOID is an open-source second-brain app. In short, it’s an “extension” for your brain - a place to store ideas, notes, research, tasks, and projects. VOID combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the databases of Notion, but it is being built as a fully local, fast, and extensible solution.

The survey will help us understand which tools you currently use and why you like them, what frustrates you most about them, which features like sync, plugins, collaboration, or global Vim navigation would actually be useful, and what you’ve always felt was missing in other apps.

The form is anonymous and takes only a few minutes: https://tally.so/r/3qyW9g

Your answers will help us shape VOID so it becomes as convenient and powerful as possible for you. This is a project for the community, built by a small community - and it’s you who decide what it will become.

Thank you for your support and your help! GitHub: https://github.com/WTWB-none/void

Open omega is my attempt at making a passive dynamic headphone that closely adhere's to the DF-HRTF of the B&K 4128C with a 10db downward slope from 20hz-20khz. The headphone was originally designed to be made via SLS. I've simplified elements of the design and assembly, making it easier to build at home.
