I like the spontaneous nature of the #ILoveFS ❤️ meetups. Besides the great people of @HSN we got joined by @Scott_Trakker and @paolo from Luxembourg. We sent chat messages and post cards to the great people making #FreeSoftware possible! ❤️

Why should public institutions use Free Software?
🔓 Freedom to use & share
👀 Transparency & adaptability
🛠 No vendor lock-in
💰 Public funds = public benefit
Public Money? Public Code! #publiccode #freesoftware

#GNU/Linux. ⚠️ Deixo a dica: evitar pegar o Flatpak do Flathub por não ser mantido pelo próprio projeto e estar defasado. Há repositórios próprios de pacotes binários para várias distribuições, seguindo a documentação. O Snap também é oficial. Nesses casos, sim, funciona melhor. 🤙Remember, you can always slap the #GNU #GPL on a permissibly licensed work. #FreeSoftware for the win.
pw-videomix v0.3.0
A lot of new features were added within the last year. Not all are finished. The reason, why I hesitated to release a new version. But the next step needs to be taken. So the motto of 0.3.0 is:
"Half Baked"
new:
- Saving and loading project files.
- New nodes (kaleidoscope, video source, encoder sink for video files, control nodes).
- MIDI devices to control values.
- Removed binaries from the source repository. The Linux binary will be updated regularly now. There won't be a Windows binary in the near future.
- Connections update their resolution automatically. No reconnects needed anymore.

I'm finally moving over to Radicle (https://radicle.xyz) instead of switching to another centralized code forge (like GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc.). I definitely love the idea behind a #P2P code forge and I'm hopeful for Radicle's future, but I do have some reservations starting off:
1) Despite talking a lot about freedom and privacy in the tutorial, the group building Radicle (https://radworks.org/) is planning to sell hosting and make a profit via an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency (https://www.tally.xyz/gov/radworks) as well as NFTs and smart contracts. Some big Libertarian red flags there.
2) At some point there was a Swiss nonprofit "Radicle Foundation", but this now seems to be a for-profit venture (see https://radicle.xyz/history). I wish it could just be a nonprofit.
3) In the user guide chapter on private repos (https://radicle.xyz/guides/user), it says that I need to use a public DNS address trusted seed node to share the repo. I understand there's no DHT here, but I hope it's not too much of a pain to run this over my local network instead of the internet. (And yeah, I know I can use git locally, I just want to test Radicle locally.)
Overall, I think that if radworks turns out to be evil it will be a way easier transition to fork Radicle than it has been to leave GitHub, but I still wish I didn't have to worry.

Are you a #rust enthusiast that uses #linuxlibre?
Please join the #gnu-linux-libre IRC channel to provide some insights on how to reject non-free firmware from the Linux mainline kernel
rust/kernel/firmware.rs
So the rest of the community can benefit from having a clean kernel for a clean OS.
I wish we live in a world in which the fact a #software is #FreeSoftware does not grant you any extra credit, but is just the expected default. And, that every #proprietary software is considered a social burden, selfish, the "awkward one", has to explain and justify itself, etc.
Currently, it is free software that constantly must explain and justify itself, is treated as "awkward", etc. Which is so annoying.
It's not us who take away your #freedom to use, copy, share and modify.
We've got a lot packed into the latest @bitsontape from the @ivycyber team! We've been busy :P #privacy #security #fsf #freesoftware #opensource https://psafe.ly/8MTe7E

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]
"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."
