After many years of development, I'm pleased to announce the production ready release of my budget application. It now comes with several QoL features. Check it out at: http://www.BudgetNav.com . I'm already working on the 1.1 release for next year. Please share and let me know your thoughts on it.

Celebrating 15 Years of F‑Droid!
September 29th marks the anniversary of the open‑source app repository we all love.
Why it matters: F‑Droid’s mission aligns well with CoMaps—both champion Free/Libre Open‑Source Software (FLOSS) and community‑driven innovation.

Let’s keep building a freer tech ecosystem together!
Je cherche à quitter #Spotify pour une alternative plus éthique, économique et de qualité. J’hésite entre Qobuz, Tidal, ou des solutions libres comme Funkwhale. Des retours/avis ?

We took for granted that at least our tech bubble would understand what the Google Decree means for Android, #FLOSS and freedom. Unfortunately we never saw the uproar we were expecting and people just shrugged it off taking for granted that "nothing changes".
@marcprux great #FDroid post brought the issue into the light, waking up developers, users, media and (we hope) concerned authorities to the immense danger the newly proposed gatekeeping controls Google wants to add.

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, a fediverse microblog for single users.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文/#漢文)!

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.
I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users.
I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!
As you're probably aware, the #English adjective "free" applied to software can be a bit ambiguous. It could either mean software respecting your freedoms ("#FreeSoftware"), or one that is available free of charge ("#freeware"). (Don't get me started on the assholes advertising demo or trial versions as "free software".) So, to disambiguate we sometimes use the term "libre", possibly as #FLOSS (free/libre open-source software).
Fortunately, we don't have this problem in #Polish. The "free of charge" meaning is translated into "darmowe" or "bezpłatne", while the other meaning goes as "wolne".
Well, except that "wolne" can also mean "slow". Which is fine, because I'm so tired of how fast things are moving. Let's make more "slow software".
