[strong]Organic Maps: Community-Fork „CoMaps“ entsteht nach Streit und Lizenz-Ärger[/strong]
Bei Organic Maps kriselt es: Die drei Hauptbeteiligten haben sich zerstritten, die MIT-Lizenz wurde heimlich gestrichen und durch ein persönliches Copyright ersetzt. Zusätzlich wurde Cloudflare-Logging aktiviert.
Die Community reagiert: Mit dem Fork [em]CoMaps[/em] (vorläufiger Name, Abstimmung läuft noch bis 20. Mai) entsteht ein neues, konsequent offenes Projekt – Quellcode auf Codeberg.
Wer OpenStreetMap-Apps nutzt und Wert auf echte Open-Source-Philosophie legt, sollte CoMaps im Auge behalten. Die Geschichte erinnert an das Schicksal von Maps.me

We need help with our 200 for TROM Campaign - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - we have a bit over 40% of the needed support. We only accept 5€ a month donations to not have to rely on a few individuals donating more money. We need to make this sustainable.
Unfortunately the support over the past months has dropped a little bit. So if you can, please support us.
On the same page you can see what you are supporting. We hope this year to bring new projects to TROM, although it is terribly difficult to do so when you can't even get the minimum support needed to run the current projects.
We have been resilient since 2011 so we will not give up, but the ones who see value in such projects need to support them at least a little bit in order for these projects to survive.
Many thanks to those who keep on supporting us!

Linux and open source demolish capitalist myth that profit drives innovation. Some of the world's most vital software being built by volunteers as opposed to corporations proves that humans create interesting things for the sake of curiosity and joy. When profit becomes the primary motive, you get ads, not Apache; microtransactions, not MySQL. Real innovation thrives when we're free to build, not just bill.
Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.
So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.

Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.
The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).

Are there any #OpenSource services that would allow me to cross-post on the #Fediverse and on #Bluesky without creating a dummy account (as #Bridgy does)?
Ideally, I’m thinking about a client that supports both the #MastodonAPI and the #BlueskyAPI.
Z okazji Walentynek obchodzimy I Love Free Software Day – wyjątkowy dzień, w którym entuzjaści wolnego oprogramowania spotykają się, by uczcić wkład deweloperów, tłumaczy, projektantów i wszystkich osób wspierających rozwój projektów FLOSS (Free/Libre & Open Source Software).

We need to talk about Kdenlive video editor on Linux.
Kdenlive is open source software that runs on multiple platforms. Also, Kdenlive does NOT requires a additional graphics card, is not intense on system resources, supports multi-track video editing, supports advance features like audio and video plugin support, supports nested sequences, supports proxy editing, imports most file formats, and is easy to learn.

It was originally articulated as intermediate technology by the economist (…)

Improvements for TROM.tf :
Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:
Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join 😀. It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.
Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call
Search
Speed
And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.
Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.
