for those who are in my discord server and want a feature added, there is now a showcase channel. it is located here or if you're an old geezer with an old geezer mastodon client, https://discord.com/channels/1373065266228891760/1474793878044282984 .
note: there is 1 very specific rule that needs following.
don't give me suggestions, give me code. I don't want to hear about your great ideas unless you can code them first.
not for any of my projects, at least. that's the cost of me making it open source, if you want a feature and you can't code it, then i'll delete your thread right away.
your dream doesn't matter unless you can make it concrete. and yes, there are guidelines.
first off, you need your GitHub username. second, you need the name and, if applicable, ID of your pull request. then, you need the exact link of your pull request. then, you need a reason of why this feature makes sense for either the blind community or the bot in general.
once you have that, I will get back to you, or someone else who works on the bot will, and i'm sure there's some public comments too. the only condition is that you not give me some proprietary stuff. the feature must be available to access by everyone. If it isn't, I'm immediately rejecting because the bot is a #GPLV3 bot. the license on the GitHub is a gnu public license. if it meets these guidelines, then it's possible it'll go into the main bot. also, if you're wondering why this is, it's because i'm not a company. I'm not Google, i'm not Microsoft. I don't take your feedback and go "thank you, we'll take care of it" and leave it empty. and I don't want your feedback unless you can solve the problem first.
in litary terms, I don't want it abstract, I want it concrete.
if you're not good at coding, then learn if you want a feature or use an #ai ide , yes, i'll except vybecode. as said earlier, I'm not a corporation, i'm a developer who wants people to develop. even if you're #blind like me, yes, you're not exception. you must code it and then showcase it. note if you do not want the initial release to be on discord, or you don't want to use discord, you can contact me directly on averlicetech@proton.me and I will check it out.
#GPLv3
Hola a todos:
Ha pasado casi un año desde el último lanzamiento de la aplicación de calendario...
Tenemos previsto lanzar una nueva versión después de 24.04.1.2 y 20.04 OTA11.
Entre las numerosas actualizaciones de traducción, esta versión contiene correcciones de errores y nuevas funciones:

❤️ Happy I Love Free Software Day!
OpenProject is fully GPLv3 Free Software – across all editions.
But free software doesn’t maintain itself. It takes dedicated maintainers, contributors, and long-term commitment.
Thank you to everyone who makes it possible 💙
Can someone please go back to the last OSS source of #DuckStation and #Fork it? The maintainer/developer is doing many things that are questionably legal at best. (I am not a Lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you need more than a text change to change the license lol)
Like Relicensing #GPLv3 to #CC-BY-NC-ND among other things.
They're also being actively hostile to people packaging their Incorrectly Licensed Open Source Software.
I would do it but I don't know the relevant programming languages... and Honestly the PS1 is kinda weak for me as a console lol.
We released a few weeks ago a preliminary version of #FidoCadJ here: https://github.com/FidoCadJ/FidoCadJ/releases/tag/v0.24.9beta
I just updated the #macOS application.
FidoCadJ is an #OpenSource #GPLv3 drawing program with a large library of symbols for #electronics. It is appreciated for the #DIY in particular in Italy, but used (and translated) worldwide.
Here is the project page on GitHub: https://github.com/FidoCadJ/FidoCadJ
We plan to release stable version 0.24.9 soon:
It's a good time to test it and help us with a feedback!

First it's important to note that over years I realized that #OSI is just a corporate (and US-led) gatekeeper organization that serve the very interests their sponsors.
You can easily see this reading their license review mailing while keeping a tab opened on the sponsors page of the day through the #WaybackMachine.
Just as a couple of example, they rejected #MongoDB's #SSPL while #Amazon was their major sponsor and adopted CAL that was way more contentious.
The last damage that OSI did to our communities has been the #Meta dictated #OSAID (OpenSource #AI Definition) better known as #OpenWashing Definition, that superseed the #OSD and does not require training data sharing, voiding the freedom to study and welcoming toxic candies within "open source" just to avoid the #AIAct requirements.
So I don't care about OSI opinion about the #HackingLicense (or about anything else).
Having said that, you are right that its first condition forbid any use of the covered work that would limit third party access or use of it.
So basically you can't use your freedom to limit the freedom of others.
Is it still a free license?
Never asked to #RMS or #FSF, but I guess that such formal constraint makes it "not free" to their eyes.
What they miss, imho, is that freedom without communion is always going to be exploited by the strongers (under #capitalism, the rich) to oppress the weakest (everybody else, the workers, the customers, the environment...) as #LLM are showing these days.
In fact the latest version of the #HackingLicense was written in response ti #GitHub #Copilot (aka #CopyALot), after it distributed #GPLv3 code from #Quake with a wrong attribution and a permissive license.
The Hacking License is a dependency inversion: if you use data or code covered by it, anything that come out can be used under such license.
Tiempo de inactividad previsto para OpenStore: 2 de febrero de 2026
El 2 de febrero, alrededor de las 3:00 UTC, desconectaré el sitio web y la API de OpenStore. No estarán disponibles hasta que finalice el mantenimiento. No sé cuánto tiempo llevará, pero lo anunciaré aquí cuando haya terminado.

Can’t not promote FOSS GPLv3 software tha runs on Linux and deals with video editing!
Todavía me preguntaba por qué la navegación no me funcionaba (PineTime + Amazfish en #UBports). Al final, resultó ser AppArmor en Pure Maps (ahora hay una versión sin restricciones de la aplicación en la tienda). La navegación debe estar habilitada en la configuración de #Amazfish, y los recursos (imágenes de navegación) deben cargarse en #PineTime.

If you want to participate to an #GPLv3 #OpenSource project, there are a certain number of user interface resources in #FidoCadJ that need to be translated in various languages: https://github.com/FidoCadJ/FidoCadJ/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3Atranslation #HelpWanted #Translation #UserInterface
@pkal @ghul there's a reason why #Linux is #GPLv2-only and not #GPLv3.
- Mostly because GPLv3's terms are a non-starter for many things, as it's demands are just not compatible eith #patents and #copyrights that companies have to abide.
But yeah, the #SFC nowadays is quite of a net negative and it makes them and #copyleft look bad.
- Don't even get @landley started on how "GPL enforcement" made #BusyBox look like litigatious dicks and contributed 0 lines of code back to the project.
Whilst we all would prefer #ReproduceableBuilds and fully-#OpenSource'd and #OpenHardware, beating it out of corporations in court won't be a winning strategy, and lobbying for legislation and espechally choosing repairable and open hardware will be more effective long-term…
@everydoor Yes, I understand licensing is hard and not something most devs want to learn.
For firmware analogy I'll point you to the difference between terms "covered work" and "aggregate" in #GPLv3 text if you want to read more yourself.
But I'll drop the subject now, as you seem to dislike me trying to help, and I really don't want to antagonize you. I apologize again if I did.
I can suggest fsf.org, fsfe.org or sfconservancy.org if you'd like to get authorative opinions on licensing. 2/2
