KeeperFX open-source remake and expansion of Dungeon Keeper 1.0 out now
While it (sadly) doesn't yet have proper Native Linux support, it's still great to see more open source remakes like this and Dungeon Keeper is a true classic. KeeperFX has hit the big 1.0!Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
If anyone else has noticed the delay of videos being posted from #bcon23 on the official #peertube instance, not to worry, they are still encoding, but unfortunately not being published as quickly as hoped.
All the videos are being mirrored, and available, though not fully transcoded, on the #bcon23 playlist here:

Go watch them there, hot and fresh😀

OpenSource softwares needs funds and it's simple:
- You can't help or you don't want to help? No problem you can still use the software for free
- You can help? help 
If developers put a simple banner in software for donate campaign, what do is cost to you? Nothing
Especially if banner is not blocking and not visible when you start to use software
But..

When Red Hat was a smaller corporation, it was common to see the following quote — attributed to Mahatma Gandhi — used internally and in external marketing:
"First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win."
Interestingly, this quote didn't originate from Gandhi at all. It originated from Nicholas Klein, a trade union activist addressing the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.

This is it, that's why I feel like this #documentary is perfect for being the first feature-length #film to ever be released exclusively on the fediverse - it perfectly captures that community aspect of the #fediverse and other #FOSS projects like #Kdenlive which it was made using.

This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions.videos.trom.tf
This stuff is a racket. I'd advise to install MuseScore from your Linux distribution's repository and never visit any websites associated with it.
MuseGroup's monetization schemes are vile.

Open Source: Architecture or Goodwill?
There are a lot of reasons why people make their code open source. I believe that one of the strongest original motivations has often been overlooked. Our hagiography tells the tale of how it all started with the quest for software freedom.radar.oreilly.com
So... It will *become* open source... eventually... in about 4 years or so.

PKP is celebrating 25 years as a community-driven, research-based #FOSS initiative. We're known for Open Journal Systems (#OJS) publishing software, used by 30,000+ journals around the world for independent publishing.
Our community also develops and maintains Open Monograph Press (#OMP) and Open Preprint Systems (#OPS).
We'll be posting about our community, research, development, and advocacy efforts. Glad to be here!
#introduction
If you value #FOSS and you have a need for video calling / conferencing, and if you also are elated when you find such competitors to the leading software in the field but which actually functions better (by several metrics) on top of being FOSS, then yeah.. this is for you.

Can you guess who or what does Sam Altman from #OpenAI blame for it?
"A bug in an open source library."
Yup. #FLOSS is great for #OpenAI as a way to build on somebody else's code, and as a way to train their models on somebody else's code. But as soon as shit hits the fan, it *will* get thrown under the bus.
Wanna *bet* it's not an #AGPL library? SV hypercapitalists keep away from those!
