Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!


source: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/
Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.

A new, absolutely insane release of Liblast is here! Version 0.1.3 brings so many improvements that the changelog took a good while to read. But it was worth it 😀

https://codeberg.org/Liblast/Liblast/releases/tag/0.1.3_pre-alpha

Liblast is an open-source multiplayer FPS game made with Godot Engine 4 and a fully FOSS toolset.

Enjoy!

🤔 It's shocking to me the number of #infosec professionals that perpetuate the myth that a company is required in order to use a password manager.

💡 Today would be a perfect day to #GiveUpGitHub.

☣️ #GitHub is the #Twitter of software development, creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers.

The #CoSocialCa #coop project also has me revisiting past work on #hacktivism, in #tech, in politics and with #NGOs.

The joy of #opensource culture is a can-do vibe: Dive in and make stuff happen. Contribute where you can.

NGOs & politicos pay more attention to process. Who's in the room matters. Start too fast, and you crowd out key voices. Agenda-setting (who starts the conversation) shapes outcomes.

These are tough to reconcile. But crucial for #Fediverse to be dynamic AND inclusive.

A little plug for what I'm working on at xeolabs!

xeokit is an open source JavaScript SDK for viewing detailed AEC models in all major browsers, including mobile, at full precision.

This SDK is built from scratch for viewing large models, with its own custom WebGL-based renderer (soon WebGPU).

R&D is always ongoing with xeokit, which we sustain with a dual license that allows the SDK to be used for academia, industry & fun.

Seeing people with coding ability commenting on features they want in Mastodon, many of them framing their insights as if there is a bug.

Almost all ideas I have seen so far could be implemented in a client or a relay. For ones that can't, there are pull requests. For ones that are declined, downstream forking is feasible.

It's #OpenSource & based on a truly open standard, #ActivityPub. How about we frame ideas positively & look for places to contribute? This is not a walled garden run by VCs.


From Mistpark to Streams: An attempt at a chronology



👋 Hello! Here is an #introduction (now with hashtags)

Call me: Leo

Pronouns: he/him

Website: https://www.leouieda.com

Work: Lecturer in #Geophysics at University of Liverpool, UK. I use #maths + #physics + #Python + #datascience to solve #earthscience problems through #openscience. I make #opensource software to enable all of that and my #teaching.

Personal: Brazilian, proud father, amateur bread baker, sci-fi & fantasy, really into Smash Bros Ultimate lately (I play Incineroar poorly).
Photo of me giving my first talk at Liverpool. The slide project in the back asks people to raise their hand if they identify as a self-taught coder.


Hello folks! I'm Sage Sharp and I'm excited to meet you. #introductions

I like to boost the following topics: art, #nature, #LGBTQ topics, #SocialJustice, and some #OpenSource.

I like to take photos, especially of #ocean tidepool creatures. Some of my photos are attached. #photography

I'm a big #CriticalRole fan too. My favorite characters are: Vax'ildan (C1), Caleb and Caduceus (C2), Laudna, Orym, and FCG (C3).

You're welcome to say hello or follow!

White defensive tentacles are deployed to sting a scout sea anemone that is moving towards the colony. A tiny red sponge nudibranch stretches between two clumps of seaweed. Sand is lightly sprinkled across its back. It is no larger than a pinky nail.

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. 👋

Hi friends, I’m Josh. I’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, I’m particularly concerned about information literacy, online disinformation and conspiracy theories, and violent extremism. I’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).

Immer mal wieder #OpenTalk auf dem Schirm behalten.

Das wird eine Videokonferenzsoftware die #OpenSource ist, in #Rust geschrieben und von Heinlein, (Mailbox.org) entwickelt wird.

OpenTalk Live-Demo testen

Das Ding hat IMO Hand und Fuß und wird sich neben Jitsi und BBB sicher etablieren, vor allem weil es, versucht strukturell alles richtig zu machen.

Ich hoffe das es irgendwann auch eine Version zum Selbsthosten gibt.

For my #hugo theme's social media bar I wanted to add monochrome #fediverse icons. I didn't find a good central place for them so I created one here.
