Solving the inference problem for open source AI projects with GitHub Models.
@avuko @fedizen In my opinion, it should make no difference where (geographically) #opensourcesoftware comes from, because we all use #OSS from all over the world and many #OSprojects are driven by developers from different #countries. - Besides, there are very good reasons to use only technical #EUinfrastructure in the #EU wherever possible.

Gemeinsam an Open-Source-Softwarelösungen für Solidarische Landwirtschaften (#Solawi) arbeiten.
Wahrscheinlich wird es vor allem um ein Tool für die Beitragsrunde (auch Bieterunde genannt) gehen
Edit: this is a positive, pro Open Source post, not a "us" against "them". When an Open Source project makes progress, is a progress for all the Open Source world.
FreeBSD 15.0 will allow users to install KDE Desktop directly from the installer. This is great news. I'm reading the comments on various news sites: “It’s too late”, or “What’s the point? No one uses it”. Or even “We already have Linux, we don’t need another OS”.
I may sound repetitive, but I really don’t understand why, in the Open Source world, people aren’t happy to have more alternatives to consider. Whether it's social networks, operating systems, or software in general, many seem to get stuck on the most popular solution and almost ideologically reject alternatives.
Fear of change?
Maybe - which is why progress is welcome, because once they see what other solutions are capable of, I’m sure they'll start to give them a chance.
Just yesterday I was talking about this with a colleague, but I’ll write about it in another post.
Time for my coffee.

How successful has the SciML Small Grants program been at getting newcomers to contribute to open source software #oss for #sciml #julialang and #ai4science? Very!

Ontem, no #msxsummit25, tive bons papos com Piter Punk, Ricbit, Rafael Rigues, Ademir Carchano, Paulo Pugno e mais uma dezena de pessoas que eu conheço e admiro há algumas décadas.
E, claro, descobrimos como o mundo.de TI no Brasil é minúsculo.

Meshcore made some of the repeater firmware features also paid. They sell unlock codes for this feature on their store, see below.
I developed and PRd a similar feature but was unaware they were working on a similar paid feature. They seemed to ignore my PR so they could complete the paid version instead.
Which is totally their prerogative but imo not the greatest FOSS approach.

#OpenSource #Forschungssoftware hat großes Potenzial für Forschung & Innovationen! Hier gilt: „as open as possible“! Das stützt der Bericht von JOANNEUM RESEARCH & @DZHW im Auftrag von BMFTR. Digitale Ergebnisse & Werkzeuge sollten offen nachnutzbar sein. Dafür setzen wir im Forschungsministerium uns ein! Begleitet auch ihr das BMFTR in eine „offene“ Zukunft!https://zenodo.org/records/15771943

EU’s Cyber Resilience Act isn’t fully in effect yet, but #OSS maintainers are already bracing for compliance requests. cURL creator @bagder is among the first to receive one (from a Fortune 500 company using a 2 year old version.)
What happens when companies treat volunteers like vendors?

For those who have InfoSec, privacy, security, and/or related technology expertise…
Would you use Bitchat?
(Feel free to elaborate in the comments and/or boost if you’d like to see the opinion of others.)
WeTransfer changed its terms to allow using your files to train AI. After users protested, they softened the language. But the rights they claim are still broad.
At @xwiki we believe privacy should be built in, not patched after backlash. Your content should stay yours.
Open tools like @CryptPad , @nextcloud and OnionShare put you in control.
