TROMjaro 2025.06.24 (manual fix needed)
The usual updates PLUS a fix. Here is the problem: As you may know we struggle a lot to make all apps (GTK or QT, flatpaks or not) look the same on TROMjaro. To basically use the same theme.TROMjaro Forum
We're looking for a creative web developer who is all in on #OpenSource!
We plan to build a website using an open source static site generator (your choice, as long as it sings), and need a #freelancer to help us bring our new brand identity and content to life across every screen.
Clean code, fast load times, beautiful design — that’s the goal.
Interested? Reach out for the details. Sharing is caring. 💚
Everything is read for @BSidesLuxembourg ! @syn2cat + @fsfe + @Endof10 makes one hell of a stand/booth/hacker space village!
Looking forward to engaging with the community on many topics including but not limited to:
> Open Source Software/Hardware #OpenSource
> #EndOf10 Campaign
> #FSFE
> Our hacker space in Luxembourg
> Other topics!
Make sure to pass by!!!
Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?
It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.
The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!
On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.
This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.
Yours may be one of them!
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Juhu 🎉
Der #NABU hat nun seine eigene, offizielle Fediverse-Instanz. Als NABU-Jena hatten wir die Ehre, den Umzug zu testen. In Zukunft werdet ihr hoffentlich viele unserer Verbände hier wiederfinden.

[strong]Organic Maps: Community-Fork „CoMaps“ entsteht nach Streit und Lizenz-Ärger[/strong]
Bei Organic Maps kriselt es: Die drei Hauptbeteiligten haben sich zerstritten, die MIT-Lizenz wurde heimlich gestrichen und durch ein persönliches Copyright ersetzt. Zusätzlich wurde Cloudflare-Logging aktiviert.
Die Community reagiert: Mit dem Fork [em]CoMaps[/em] (vorläufiger Name, Abstimmung läuft noch bis 20. Mai) entsteht ein neues, konsequent offenes Projekt – Quellcode auf Codeberg.
Wer OpenStreetMap-Apps nutzt und Wert auf echte Open-Source-Philosophie legt, sollte CoMaps im Auge behalten. Die Geschichte erinnert an das Schicksal von Maps.me

We need help with our 200 for TROM Campaign - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - we have a bit over 40% of the needed support. We only accept 5€ a month donations to not have to rely on a few individuals donating more money. We need to make this sustainable.
Unfortunately the support over the past months has dropped a little bit. So if you can, please support us.
On the same page you can see what you are supporting. We hope this year to bring new projects to TROM, although it is terribly difficult to do so when you can't even get the minimum support needed to run the current projects.
We have been resilient since 2011 so we will not give up, but the ones who see value in such projects need to support them at least a little bit in order for these projects to survive.
Many thanks to those who keep on supporting us!

Linux and open source demolish capitalist myth that profit drives innovation. Some of the world's most vital software being built by volunteers as opposed to corporations proves that humans create interesting things for the sake of curiosity and joy. When profit becomes the primary motive, you get ads, not Apache; microtransactions, not MySQL. Real innovation thrives when we're free to build, not just bill.
Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.
So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.
The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).

Are there any #OpenSource services that would allow me to cross-post on the #Fediverse and on #Bluesky without creating a dummy account (as #Bridgy does)?
Ideally, I’m thinking about a client that supports both the #MastodonAPI and the #BlueskyAPI.
Z okazji Walentynek obchodzimy I Love Free Software Day – wyjątkowy dzień, w którym entuzjaści wolnego oprogramowania spotykają się, by uczcić wkład deweloperów, tłumaczy, projektantów i wszystkich osób wspierających rozwój projektów FLOSS (Free/Libre & Open Source Software). Wydarzenie organizowane jest pod oficjalnym patronatem Free Software Foundation Europe.
Z tej okazji grupa Knyfyrtel Hackerspace Poznań wraz z Kołem Naukowym PUTrequest_ zapraszają na wieczór integracyjny pełen inspirujących prelekcji w formule Short Talks / Lightning Talks, po których nastąpi pyszny poczęstunek w postaci pizzy z napojami. 🍕🥤

We need to talk about Kdenlive video editor on Linux.
Kdenlive is open source software that runs on multiple platforms. Also, Kdenlive does NOT requires a additional graphics card, is not intense on system resources, supports multi-track video editing, supports advance features like audio and video plugin support, supports nested sequences, supports proxy editing, imports most file formats, and is easy to learn.
