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.
My post about list of GNU/Linux distros we can follow at Mastodon showing a picture of Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc., and with hundreds of reshares and likes and replies. My post titled User Friendly Resources to Learn GNU/Linux with three pictures of getgnulinux.org, and trylinux.today, and flossmanuals.net websites.


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/

There is currently a campaign that tries to raise money to improve #Anbox (an Android emulator) on #ubuntutouch.

#Volla has already donated a thousand Euros to kick things of and the campaign has raised 1500€ 💸 so far.

This is a good start, but they need at least 6000€ to hire a freelancer 💻️.

If you are a #FOSS or #Linux enthusiast, please consider donating and help to make #linuxonmobile happen.

Thank you ♥️

#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? 🤔

If you weren't among the 33,600 people😮 at online @FOSDEM@twitter.com this weekend, be advised: 100% #FOSS for online conferences is production ready *today*. Say NO to any Zoom (or other proprietary software) online events from now on. Demand software freedom! https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/feb/08/just-say-no-to-zoom/

Thank you so much for your collaboration on making #FOSDEM2021 awesome, @matrixdotorg@twitter.com! Loved the confetti and all the little details 🥳

FOSDEM even managed to get a hallway feel — so cool! Huge win for free #FOSS community. Thank you to everyone involved in making it happen! https://twitter.com/matrixdotorg/status/1358465480508534784

RT @kehoste@twitter.com

Proper preparation for the @FOSDEM@twitter.com weekend.
Spent some time today playing with the @matrixdotorg@twitter.com and @jitsinews@twitter.com based system, really impressive work!
It’s also already clear that virtual FOSDEM doesn’t change the “organised chaos” aspect... #FOSS

GTK 4.0 is here! After four years of hard work from our dedicated developers, GTK 4.0 was released today. Some highlights from this release include media playback, drag-and-drop, and scalable lists and grids. Learn more about what's new in GTK 4.0: https://blog.gtk.org/

This particular story sadly illustrates the limits of non-commercial licenses or any restrictive open license. If you can't enforce their constraints, they are unfortunately worth squat, no matter how well-intentioned you were. #FOSS #OpenLicenses #CreativeCommons

Hi @JeffBezos
My name is Eugenia Bahit. I am the autistic woman who wrote this book:
amazon.co.uk/Aprender-progr…
I am sad, stressed and cry because @amazon is selling it without my permission. It has a non-commercial license. Please, stop selling my book. I don't want to keep crying


Today I just noticed I've had more than 1,000 of my pull requests on GitHub merged in total. Yay me! #FOSS #OpenSource #git


Sometimes, working on #FOSS projects is a thankless job, but sometimes you get reminders like these that you aren't just doing it for yourself. #Friendica


I'm so used to use #FOSS websites and tools that I have to heavily restrain myself from offering free help to a commercial website I'm using having what seems to be a common database search design issue.
