Hello everyone, I am very happy to announce that after more than two years of development, #Fread has decided to open source. All the codes will be open. Welcome to check it out.
At present, the main technology stack of Fread is as follows: Kotlin Multiplatform, Compose Multiplatform, kotlin-inject, Voyager, Compose-imageloader, Jetpack Room, ktor.https://github.com/0xZhangKe/Fread#Mastodon #Bluesky #rss #activitypub #fediverse #FOSS #Android #Opensource #Freesoftware
October 14, 2025 = #EndofWindows10 updates, KDE’s 29th
, and International #EWaste Day. You can’t make this up. Let’s #UpgradeToFreedom, not to landfills. Live talk #LinuxAppSummit #Linux #FOSS https://www.youtube.com/live/qV41qGMUrXY?si=2DUqVEfUFmwWNl5C
The Nazi bar metaphor extends to the fediverse and now is time to act @mike.
To all members of fosstodon & the #FOSS community at large I would like to ask:
1. Divest from fosstodon.org until measures are taken. You are not able to interact with a large part of the FOSS community because of their inaction towards prior mentioned problems. There are plenty of other fedi servers that will host you.
2. Hold fellow members of the FOSS community accountable for making our spaces accessible for all

@opensuse
May be I'll test slowroll soon.
The question is: will it be available the next 10 or 15 years?

@signalapp As a supporter of #Signal, it is important to point out a key detail: Signal's own code is #OpenSource, but Signal uses multiple #proprietary libraries from #Google. Those cannot be scrutinized since the source code is not open. We believe Signal should offer an actual open source version, and are ready to help. This exists already in the fork https://fosstodon.org/@MollyIM Also, apps like #Element #Threema #Wire are #FOSS, and have #ReproducibleBuilds on @fdroidorg #FDroid
@wjmaggos @ntnsndr @evan @mondoweiss for how little time, effort, and cost it would take, I find it sad how few organizations are doing this ... Including large #foss projects, ironically: (
LibreOffice had two major updates in 2024 with many improvements and fixes. Learn more from The Document Foundation's Annual Report: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/04/23/libreoffice-in-2024-tdfs-annual-report/ #foss #OpenSource

[Talk] Making FOSS games for fun and (hopefully) profit
--
This is the complete blog post to my talk at the Software Developer's Thursday.
It is not a word to word transcript, but should cover most I said during the talk with some...
Here's your semi-regular reminder that if you work in open source, you and your team can get a 1Password Teams account for free.
END OF 10
"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?
If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.
Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"
42 Free & Open Source projects will receive grants to reclaim the public nature of the internet from the NGI0 Commons Fund.
There were many applicants & it's wonderful to see the number of people working on digital commons, inventing & improving technologies to the benefit of all humanity.
We'd like to take this space to thank *all* applicants for their contributions to an internet for people rather than for profit.
Come meet the new projects! https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250422-announcement-grants-CommonsFund.html
