    @fu I don't know much about #Gitcoin, but I'm sure the anti #cryptocurrency crusaders throughout the #Fediverse and in other #FOSS contexts are going to try to roast #Tor over the hottest flames of hell.

    #SciLab (which, like #Octave is a #FOSS implementation that is mostly compatible with #Matlab) has some tutorial walk-throughs on its site. I've gone through most of them, but never felt like I'd learned enough to do something from scratch.

    I know that SciLab differs from Matlab more than Octave does, so when I tried to do some SL walkthroughs in Octave, it was unsurprising that they didn't work quite the same way.

    Like I know this is satire, but ift feels like dangerous satire.


    β™² @doot@glitterkitten.co.uk: What's your favourite #OpenSource Software? Mine is #Gmail! It's very convenient and has everything I need to help me organise things like a Calendar. And it feels good to know I am supporting a
    #FOSS project from #Google when I use it.

    You can just right click and view the source, it's right there!

    > Instagram is really annoying, and I've given enough, and I don't want to deal with it anymore. Bibliogram will remain mostly broken unless somebody steps up to fix it. The main instance, bibliogram.art, will shut down, unless somebody wants to take it over. If you want to try fixing Bibliogram, you should read through the rest of this post for helpful tips about the current situation.

    https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/27/7zip_compression_tool/ [www theregister com]

    There's apparently a call to boycott #7-zip, claiming it is not really #FOSS (article quickly shows that to be false), has security vulnerabilities (as does all software; the question should be whether 7-zip fixes known vulnerabilities promptly), and is programmed by a Russian (true).

    I use both 7-zip / p7zip and #PeaZip (as well as gzip and bzip2) and plan to continue to do unless and until there is actual evidence against it.

Ars Technica's review lets me know that I'm not really in the target audience (I can't spend USD$1,300 to USD$1,500 on something that can't even match a RasPi 4's performance), even though I'm very much interested in all the things they seem to be targeting.

    The other day I've been installing a small HP printer/scanner for a relative. I've downloaded the official HP application for Windows 10, and I've soon discovered, that #HP would not let us scan any documents unless we create an online account. The manufacturer would not let you use the device you purchased unless you give them personal information. The (dystopian) future is now!

    I just installed #NAPS2 and we were done with HP's crap.I am shook. Using #FOSS is becoming an absolute necessity.

    About a year ago, #MongoDB ( $_NASDAQ['MDB'] ) withdrew its #SSPL license from the OSI process to have it recognized & approved as "Open Source". https://nu.federati.net/url/265335 [opensourceforu com]

    I tried to read the SSPL text ( https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license ) myself. I was looking for the #Four_Freedoms ( which are fundamental to all #FOSS licenses ).

    I think their real purpose was to make it impossible for SAAS vendors to operate anything dependent on #MongoDB without buying a commercial license instead of the SSPL.

    (Would $CLOUD_VENDOR open source everything, including virtualization configs, systemd units, backup scripts in order to keep using MongoDB? Or would they perhaps fork the last truly free version, and together with others in similar straits, take over maintenance and development, cutting off the MongoDB corporate entity? Or visit #Apache's various #NoSQL projects and try out potential replacements?)

    Note: I took a cursory glance at financials. MDB is still losing money, but revenue increase 61% last year, so it could break even or be mildly profitable this year, though analysts don't expect a profit within the next three years. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mongodb-nasdaq-mdb-debt-no-190937053.html [finance yahoo com], https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/software/nasdaq-mdb/mongodb [simplywall st]

    I looked briefly for a comparison of revenue trends pre-SSPL and post-SSPL, but saw nothing. I should probably devote some more time to it, but that will have to be another time.

    I've been thinking that working on marketing for libre projects would be awesome!

    Is there anyone on the fediverse I could talk to about getting a leg into that industry?

    And I'm not talking about just drawings and illustrations but graphics, photoediting and videos, and finally ideas / marketing strategies.

    I think I could be a great asset to projects out there.
