I agree that F-Droid is great!

What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

On the other hand I don't see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:

  • Redhat
  • Suse Linux
  • Gentoo
  • Sabayon Linux
  • Debian
  • Kdenlive
  • Arch
  • Ubuntu Studio
  • Fedora
  • Fedora Silverblue
  • since 2017 NixOS

NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

Another NixOS user.

 

At the Chaos Communication Congress #37c3 I played some forward Drum’n’Bass at a pop-up party stage. "DJ? Tasmo - Unlocking Stage H @ 37c3"

Was miss reading "we are a Spirituality community now" and thought that this is very unexpected.

But to have c/spirituality as a community here is very welcome.

For audio files sox and beets are my live saver.

According to Mozilla setting both to the value 1 is the better idea. The fallback then won't be "Accept all".

Or the even faster successor gojq.

I always wondered why Google took this choice. With the help of this article I understand now.

RSS ist still not dead but many commercial websites and platforms are not interested in this because it is harder to monetize.

Although the advantages are obvious. An RSS feed is much more accessible in many ways. It is most times better readable, sortable, offline savable and more efficient to get. What is even better for the environment because a with scripts and external content overloaded web page has a much higher carbon fingerprint.

Google Reader died and so ATOM/RSS will because the lack of commercial success.

If you are open for something very goid but a little different take a look at the fabulous Niagara Launcher.

Honestly the best way would be to start coding by yourself. While trying to find solutions you might find the right people too.

Almost every dev has its own ideas and ideals. There is no lack of ideas but everytime a big lack of time and men power. Software developers have more too much on the plate then too less.

So sharing ideas is nice but contributing is gold.

I would call it the FOSS Dev Paradox.

Historically the GPL seems to be not cermercial in the sense of taking care for developers rights. The GPL is also connected to the term Open Source. Because it was too restricted for some cases a derivation was made witj the LGPL with which it is posdible to use GPL licenced libraries easier in combination with other more restricted or more opened licenses.

For some looking for Free Software all this was too restricted and the libre BSD license and all its derivations were made.

There are several licenses which forbid commercial use. But where does this work? When I want to use a piece of software while working on a profitable project it is commercial use. It may be on purpose to restrict this but sometimes it is not meant to be not free.

I have a Bangle.js 2 and there are two things I don't like. One is the display which has too low contrast and the second is that the hardware itself feels not very valuable because it is very light and plastic.

 

When working, I see that some people create a space for themselves by wearing headphones and listening to music so they don't get distracted.

Do you guys feel the same way and if so, what tracks or mixes are you recommending?

 

Is here a good place for sharing DJ mixes or sets? Are there any rules against self promotion?

On my search I did not find any community for this purpose yet. Is there any community anyone can recommend for this?

 

While today's campaign for #Juneteenth, Bandcamp is donating 100% of their share of music sales to the #NAACP Legal Defense Fund

to promote racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education.

 

I wonder if it is possible to move my own account to another Lemmy and take all content with me?
