#FLOSS

14 posts14 participants0 posts today

The FLOSS movement has failed to build a true counter power to Big Tech's hegemony.

However, I see this potential for tech autonomy with community tech.

It builds on the nonprofit, community centered aspects of free and open source software, while addressing its shortcomings.

Boosts and opinions on what I've outlined in my blog post very welcomed.

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.

Ämter ohne Microsoft – Warum Behörden freie Software nutzen sollten.

Eine EU-Studie beziffert das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von Open
Source Software auf 1:4.

Jeder Euro, den der Staat investiert, kommt vierfach wieder zurück. Würden mehr Institutionen Geld in Open Source stecken, statt an Microsoft zu überweisen, könnte das ein großes Konjunkturprogramm für die
europäische Digitalwirtschaft sein.

@arclight I mean, I'd love to see someone pay me to maintain @OS1337 full-time (or any other of my #FLOSS / #FLOSH projects), but until then I'll sadly have to do whatever #WageWork keeps me and mutuals afloat.

  • After all, being a "good person" doesn't make rent or pay utilities. Otherwise I'd still be a volunteer firefighter at the local platoon...

Päivän #FLOSS-vinkki voisi olla #GNU #Datamash. Hauska pikku ohjelma, jolla saa nopeasti irti taulukkomuotoisesta datasta tilastollisia tunnuslukuja. Esimerkiksi tiedostosta, jossa on pelkästään rivivaihdoin erotettuja lukuja (= yksi tietosarake), saa minimin, maksimin, summan ja keskiarvon komennolla:

datamash min 1 max 1 sum 1 mean 1 < tiedosto

(missä 1 = sarakkeen numero). #atkjuttuja
