#introductions

I'm a #software developer from Saint Paul, #Minnesota, currently doing #iOS development for work, and web development for fun.

My current passion projects include writing a NodeJS API for Bandcamp users to generate RSS/JSON updates on bands they follow (https://github.com/hisaac/bandcamp-feeder), editing an Ebook for the Standard Ebooks project (https://standardebooks.org/), and planning a #podcast about #music.

#opensource software became very common. Meanwhile patents are still used to gain more control over our basic needs such as #food.

There's an initative in #germany wanting to change that:

#OpenSourceSeed
👇👊💪
- Fight market concentration in the seed sector
👇❤
- Promote food security through diversity
- Restore crop seeds as #commons
- Seed must be utilised freely
- Use open-source licensing against patents and variety protection
👆❤

Richard Stallman Pushing for GPL3, FSF Free Software Are Being Kicked Out from Free Software Platform. #emacs #opensource

aaaand after a productive & #opensource day it seems like we are slowly approaching #Spritz o'clock in sunny #Brighton https://mastodon.partecipa.digital/media/uYidOOfCTSVf4_x4f2E

#Opensource #NoSQL database company #MongoDB files for IPO

More #OpenSource happening in public sector

While exploring language filtering in #madonctl, I've also been using #Tusky to share content to Google Translate. It works pretty well but that app is shit.

I'm not going to do it on EVERYTHING, but it helps with the home timeline which is very multilingual.

That said, I need some help with suggestions for preferably #opensource and non-Google alternatives for #cli and #Android.

Maybe setting up #OpenNMT might be a good start?

#pleaseboost as this is not, I think, common knowledge.

Haven't used Instagram in a while, so left a goodbye post with a link to Mastodon.

Along the way I noticed their #opensource library usage is quite long. Looking at GitHub, they have contributed to (some of) their requirements & they have some stuff to offer, though only core. Most important of these is IGListKit, which has contributors outside the company.

Of course, they had to sign the Facebook CLA. Bah. #Mastodon mo betta.

This is an excellent critique of the state of the community surrounding open source, while entirely being in support of the spirit of it. It's remarkable in that it shows how licensing doesn't ensure that developers welcome contributions nor does it ensure users appreciate the hard work that went into the software. The conclusion violates the very nature of most licenses, and yet seems like it might work… better. Fascinating.
