It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.

When Mozilla announced their Terms of Use a few months ago, they told us that they would be asking us to acknowledge it at a later date. That day is here, and I took a quick look at it.

GNU Taler is a Free Software payment system that preserves the privacy of payers while ensuring that income is visible to authorities.

The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.

Please understand that I'm not a programmer and so this is probably a really dumb question, but Mumble works so great for voice chat and it already has text chat capabilities. It could just do with a UI refresh and maybe some added functionality to really provide a much better alternative to Discord. Any thoughts?

I've been using Fossify Phone since Simple Phone went south, but it's been such an inconsistent experience.

Calls will come in, and the notification panel will disappear, so I can't actually take the call.

Then while I'm on a call, the UI that allows me to control the call will go away, so I can't hang up, mute, etc... basically has it navigating the call list again. Trying to click on the dial pad button during a call brings me to a list of contacts.

Stock dialers have always been flawless, but I really don't want to use spyware.

I don't need any fancy features, but it needs to be reliable.

Any suggestions?

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

Personally I'm a huge sucker for list launchers. Been using the Olauncher since before I even knew what foss means. Also tried the mLauncher, the Easy Launcher and ultimately settled on the YAM Launcher since that one has a weather widget, lets you switch between a list of apps and a list of your contacts and has some neat customization options. My question is if you use a list launcher which one did you pick and why? I'm not neccessarily looking for an alternative since I'm very happy with YAM but it never hurts to explore options.

Edit: Included image of my current launcher:

I use VPN 24/7 and to minimize fingerprinting I keep my cell phone's time in the same location as my VPN. I would like to know if you know any FOSS app where I can put the time of my location in the status bar, I've been looking for a long time but so far I haven't found any :(

Popularity ≠ superiority. Proprietary text document formats is yet another proof of Microsoft's crookedness—their subpar products only able to stay afloat by unethical anti-competitive behaviour.

We've all already talked about switching away from google/apple maps to something like openstreetmaps, mapy, tomtom amigo, etc. But all of these services use openstreetmaps (UK non-profit) as a source and they still miss a lot of local data even for bigger cities!

If you have some spare time, think about adding a bit of data to the map with your local knowledge. There's a lot of business data missing that is on google maps like websites, phone numbers and opening hours but also stuff like parking lots and whether they're publicly accessible and free or not. Adding these makes the competition of ALL services using OSM as a source better.

I also use the mobile app https://streetcomplete.app/ and https://every-door.app/ to add data while on my walks, these make my walks more engaging and I actually take longer ones + see new places because of it. Streetcomplete also has a focus on important and easy to collect data with their default filters, and you can choose what you want to contribute.

If you really want to get into the thick of it and contribute more than just simple data you can always check out https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute and see in which of the many ways you can contribute!

The free and open Lisp-powered notification nexus

https://codeberg.org/jjba23/pingwing

Do you want to work the complexity away of sending e-mail, Slack or other notifications, from every other program? Specially if you use a (micro)service oriented architecture?

pingwing, a key component of the jointhefreeworld ecosystem, emerges as a robust and extensible solution. Architected in the elegant and powerful dialect of Lisp known as Guile Scheme, this tool gives you power (via REST API and more) to become the central notification system for your platform.

At its core, pingwing exposes a programmatic interface (and more!) allowing you to dispatch messages, electronic mail, and critical alerts with finesse. Forget juggling disparate notification mechanisms; pingwing harmonizes these streams, routing them to your chosen endpoints.

Initial support includes SMTP for email delivery, with a pending integration for Slack (expect webhook wizardry soon!).

The architecture is designed for future expansion, promising connectivity to a diverse range of notification sinks.

This project is powered by Lisp (Guile Scheme), curl , make , SXML and the GNU Artanis web framework, SQLite, among others.

This is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License 3 or newer.

This tool is compatible with any SMTP provider you can think of, thanks to its simple and agnostic approach.

All you need to do to interact with pingwing is call the /api/v1/tasks with a POST method and give your preferences. See app/api/v1.scm for more details on the API, and lib/pingwing/tasks.scm for more.

curl -v \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
         "task-type": "send-email",
         "template": "password-reset",
         "template-vars": {
           "system-name": "WikiMusic",
           "user": "jjbigorra@gmail.com",
           "reset-link": "https://gnu.org/"
         },
         "sender-name": "No Reply - WikiMusic",
         "sender-address": "noreply@wikimusic.jointhefreeworld.org",
         "subject": "Wikimusic - Password Reset",
         "recipients": [
           {"name": "Josep Bigorra", "address": "jjbigorra@gmail.com"},
           {"name": "Another Person", "address": "jjbigorra+1@gmail.com"}
         ]
       }' \
     'http://localhost:50077/api/v1/tasks'

You can submit tasks at super high rates to pingwing since the ingestion and processing are done completely separately. This ensures that we can do a reliable retry mechanism and can handle high volumes of data.

After the task has submitted and picked up by the worker, a message like this will be produced:

I found Adobe acrobat was good at ocr but I’m on Linux now.

Go to your phone homescreen and look at the app dock (the bottom row that contains some apps and stays the same when you switch pages).

Which are yours? Any FOSS apps?

In my case, they are FDroid, Signal, Threema, Firefox and the defaul Samsung camera app. So, 80% FOSS..

Hey there,

I'm from Germany and I'm looking for a FOSS Stock/ETF price tracking app (primarily for Android, but a web app would be nice, too). Having to self-host something would be fine....

I just want to be able to open the app, see that something went down by X% the last day and y% the last week... Very simple...

I'm currently using "OnVista" and had used "finanzen.net", but they are both not open source and contains ads and stuff I don't want to see.

What are you using? I heard that Yahoo finance is popular in the USA?

But is there actually a good FOSS solution?

Hi all, I'm curious of anyone knows of any FOSS event ticket organizers/wallets for Android. I'm trying to not use my google wallet and I have a couple shows coming up where service might be spotty. Everything I've seen so far is just for retail rewards cards or credit cards.
