I made a lot of progress with becoming digitally independent and #foss within the past few months: switching from google docs to markup editors for my diaries and creative writing, learning hugo to build websites for my art and comic, downloading more music instead of streaming it, moving from google drive and cloud based apps to syncthing, and getting into mastodon. I wonder what's next..

Hello #mastoadmins, #fediblock and #foss friends. I have created a CLI utility to easily import large domain blocklists into Mastodon using the new API in v4. It's called "Mastodont." https://github.com/selfagency/mastodont

I was giving a computing ethics lecture about #FOSS and #antifeatures around 2014. Lots of folks there had never even heard of #FDroid. Maybe it's still not well-known?

F-Droid is a repository and platform for FOSS on Android. Their app can manage your other apps, much like you do with the Google Play Store.

When I need an Android app for something, I always check F-Droid first, just because the apps are trustworthy.

@fdroidorg

I'll reply with a few of my favorite apps on F-Droid... ๐Ÿงต

Hello fediverse!

I'm a #machinelearning engineer with a focus on probabilistic programming (#probprog) at @unituebingen, where I help scientists use ML for their research. In the office and out, one of my main passions is #FOSS, and I work on a number of #opensource packages, mostly in #JuliaLang, with a focus on #probprog, #manifolds, and #autodiff.

I have no idea what this account will be about, but probably some combination of the above topics. ๐Ÿ‘‹

An #introduction perhaps?

Iโ€™m this middle-aged dad from Germany. I have a wonderful partner, 4 kids and a cat.

I care about society and technology. A retired #FOSS activist, these days I work at a globocorp doing IT stuff for trains ๐Ÿš„

My interests include baking #bread, #fermenting stuff, paddling a whitewater #kayak, n00bing around with #Python, #RaspberryPi and #arduino, and oh so many books.

Thereโ€™s never enough time, and I havenโ€™t been bored in more than a decade.

I share unique scripts, public #tutorials (+blog) in both writing/video, on various topics, mostly #Linux / #FOSS related, #security, #privacy, #cybersecurity, #HumanRights.

Hi friends, Iโ€™m Josh. Iโ€™m a software engineer and Ruby developer at heart. I love open source and the open web and currently build tools for developers at a company that I cofounded. My Mastodon claim to fame is that I made the little keyboard shortcuts legend that you see when you type ?.

I love books and consider myself a lifelong learner. At this moment, Iโ€™m particularly concerned about information literacy, online disinformation and conspiracy theories, and violent extremism. Iโ€™m actively studying and exploring constructive solutions to those issues in my spare time.

My favorite things are books, computers, photography, and musical instruments (piano and bass mainly). My favorite people are my family, friends, colleagues, and you (you there, behind the screen).

Yeah...

Perhaps you can explain a bit Alex?

Last I checked, it was a #SoapBox frontend (pretty fricken' kewl), but no web access (WTF is sup wit dat, bitches?), And so I was unable to create an account.

And although there was an #Apple ๐ŸŽ app, no such #Android beast.

Is that correct? And what kind of goofy logic is that where you can only access the site if you have an #iPhone?

I suppose i would have tried to use #Fedilab, i would suppose, but you need to already have an account to do that.

I know I'm not "missing out" on anything, but What am I missing here?

The free open source livestreaming platform OwnCast has set up a demo server at:

https://watch.owncast.online

It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.

If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.

OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

I'm beginning to get frustrated with my self-hosted mail. Somewhere between my android mail app (Samsung Mail), my desktop app (em client), and mail server (hmailserver), in a rare blue moon I'll have an email that gets out of sync and won't load on desktop. My theory is the android mail app is causing IMAP flags to not get set correctly, since #thunderbird has issues too.

I need a good all-in-one #mail solution that is #FOSS with a good admin UI.

Poll about graphics free software we use the most between Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, and other. It is my first poll ever in all social networks and I didn't expect it to be a big success with hundreds of participants and a lot of reshares and likes. Oh, and it is still 1 day left to go. My post titled Ubuntu 20.04 Graphic Design Suite with a picture of Akira, GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, etc. It was originally published on https://www.ubuntubuzz.com.

The Linux Foundation are carrying out a survey on "Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in Open Source", and I know this is something #foss #freesoftware and #opensource people (and opponents thereof!) on the Fedi have opinions on. So please boost and fill in.

Contributing to an evidence base may be a way of highlighting the problems and shaming people with money into doing something about them.

Well, I hadn't planned on adding additional features to A Rust Site Engine today but... Two Release Tuesday can be a thing can't it?

https://crates.io/crates/arse 0.6.0 adds accessing individual posts directly. Underneath the feature add was a major refactor of the application's core and the Engine struct itself. While rendering and load times were already very fast, I was previously loading the Tera template for every single request. Now it's done once at startup.

I've wasted enough brain cells on RMS but still disappointed that the "pro-RMS" letter has 3x the number of signers as the "anti-RMS". The #FOSS community has a lot of work to do. Reinforces why I'm publicly stating I'm not engaging with FSF or RMS or any events they are part of.

The ray of hope at the end of this week is that I believe the free and #OpenSource software movements are more unified than ever before that intolerance, abuse, and disrepect from our leaders will no longer be allowed. That's a great thing and a good first step toward visions like #DigitalAutonomy. https://techautonomy.org/

#askthefediverse which #foss productivity apps do you use? And how are they integrated?

Use case: starting a new job, taking a uni course, writing a masters thesis, plus personal goals to achieve. Walking around with a massive to do list in my head.

I'm trying out apps to keep track, but they're not integrated. Think mail in one app, calendar in another, Nextcloud + deck, tasks in a notes app. Since it's not integrated, I'm often doing double work or lose track. How do other people do this? ๐Ÿค”
