Updated our TROM Files to Nextcloud 28. Biggish update. We had to remove the following apps tho, since they were not compatible: files_3d, files_markdown, metadata, video_converter, extract. Whenever these are available for Nextcloud 28 we will enable them.
Take advantage of our TROM Files https://files.trom.tf - you get 10GB of storage space and access to better tools than Google's Drive. All trade-free.
Please, please, please add a reminder to your calendar so that you do not forget to thank a #FreeSoftware #OpenSource contributor or organisation on 14 February (#ilovefs). 🙏

Well that's #annoying
#opensource chat server Rocket Chat decided to make their latest upgrade plain abusive. If you run your own, you are now *required* to enrole in a trial of their premium proprietary nonsense and it's likely the server is spying on it's admins and users.
*great*
Looks like #inkscape is going to have to move chat systems. There's just no way to regain trust in an upstream that is abusive. Not without forking away from the abusers.
Big thanks to those who support our 200 for TROM donation campaign https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - there are 44 people donating 5 Euros a month and we need 200 in total. We provide a lot of materials and tools - see the donation page. Your support allows us to keep these alive and relevant, and if enough support to continue to produce more.
Remember, among many things, we provide a video platform with unlimited uploads for anyone, a file hosting platform with 10GB of storage for any user that registers, a social network and a chat platform. Also a Linux Operating System. A lot, and for everyone. So please, consider donating 5 Euros a month if you can. It is the only amount we accept.
Thank you!

@Łukasz @Michał Górny :autism:🙀🚂🐧
To podsumuję jak rozumiem co napisałeś:
#Korporacje są dobre dla #opensource pod warunkiem, że mogą dobrze sprzedać coś co dostały od innych za darmo.
A kodu opartego na #GPL nie można dobrze sprzedać bo nie można legalnie zabronić żeby ktoś (kto nawet za niego zapłacił) nie puścił go dalej za darmo.
"Najlepsze" jest zdanie "jak dodajemy coś co może się komuś przydać i nie jest specyficzne dla naszego produktu to wrzucamy takich patch do upstream" bo jest dość odważnym przyznaniem że bierzecie z opensource ile się da (na ile licencja pozwala) a oddajecie tylko tyle ile sami uznacie - czyli nawet zero.

Open source #AI has been a key issue in policy debates, and #AIAct includes provisions that regulate development and sharing of #opensource AI development.
We've been following the proposed rules as they meandered through several different approaches. Now elements of the final version have been made public.
The big question was whether transparency and other obligations need to be mandated for open source AI, or they can be self-regulated – under the assumption that open source developers ensure these elements based on principles of open development.
The agreed upon wording of the AI Act assumes the later, and makes open source exempt from regulation of general purpose AI models, including transparency obligations.
We think that this is a problem, especially that lack of agreed standards that define open source AI means that there is an risk of open washing.
You can read more about this on our blog: Paul Keller wrote a detailed analysis of the provisions:

The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.
With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱
Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.
This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

Dobra, znowu szukam polecajki.
Planuję zmienić Todoist, aplikację do tworzenia list zadań, na coś open source. Ogólnie chcę być bardziej niezależny od aplikacji pochodzących od firm, dodatkowo płacę za Pro dla przypomnień, a to jest dość absurdalne, jak o tym pomyśleć.
Moje wymagania:
- tworzenie projektów
- pod-zadania
- aplikacja mobilna
- dobrze by było, gdyby miała synchronizację
- możliwość ustawienia przypomnień

#BraveBrowser is installing VPNs without users' consent, even if you didn't willingly enable their #VPN service. Just stop using #Brave, it's garbage.
Edit: the services are disabled by default, but they were still installed with very little to no transparency about them towards the user, alongside all the other stuff that's often unwanted from Brave users (Pocket on Firefox is to blame too, lol.)
