Yup, I'm probably going to be pulling back from Discord and probably Fluxer soon if they start enforcing age verification. Been using Guix lately, a Libre Linux distribution, so these authoritarian laws have been pushing me further into fringe free software spaces. Tags: #FOSS, #FLOSS, #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #Guix.

A 20-year-old #FreeSoftware developer, Erfan Arabi, is reportedly facing 8 years in prison in #Iran for “creating community against national security.” Let that sink in: building community is being treated like a crime. If you care about free software, digital freedom, and basic human dignity, this should outrage you. When a regime criminalizes collaboration, it is not defending security, it is attacking the very idea of a free society. #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #HumansRight

Remember when the free and open source community remembered that hard dependencies were bad and contrary to the spirit and ethos of free software? That is what has now happened with systemd and has really been the case the entire time for glibc. Without modifying packages to replace the functionality glibc and systemd uses, you end up with a system that has less package availability. That is a real engineering problem that needs to be addressed within the Linux community. Tags: #FOSS, #FLOSS, #Linux, #OpenSource, #FreeSoftware. @phnt@fluffytail.org

#floss #networking I need to replace a couple of old network switches.

Are there any companies doing open source switch hardware and software? I would like to tinker.

  • 1U
  • 12 or more10G fiber ports
  • a couple of faster uplinks would be nice
  • decent RESTish API or ansible support

Something like https://vyos.io #vyos seems suitable but it looks like I would have to diy my own hardware

i think it’s time to redefine FLOSS: if it is funded or owned by an equity firm or a for-profit corporation, especially a publicly traded company, then it isn't. don't mean you can't make money. it just means the ownership should be either as a public good paid for with government funding, an NGO or, more precisely, a workers’ cooperative. #FLOSS should be public goods structured as #cooperatives. A $6bn question hangs over SUSE's sovereignty pitch https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/28/sovereignty_its_all_about_the/?td=rt-3a

@voltrina@social.freedombits.org @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest I'd go with #Skulls or #Heads or #LibreBoot or #Canoeboot (both the latter are done by @libreleah@mas.to )… Depending on how extreme you want your #FLOSS to be…

Also #FLOSS does work! That's why #Cyberfascism like "#AgeVerification", #CensorBoot aka. "#SecureBoot" and "#DeviceAttestation" is being shoved down, with #criminalization of those that refuse to comply!And yes, that doesn't exclude the need to abolish the #GAFAMs and actually enforce existing laws!

#Inkscape 1.4.4 is getting soooo close 🤏! Try out the release candidate for this bugfix and maintenance release and help us catch any blocker bugs 🪤🐛 by giving it a good round of testing before the release (planned for May)! https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.4rc/ #testing #freesoftware #floss #libreGraphics

@tsdgeos@fosstodon.org @noodlejetski@masto.ai @soapdog@toot.cafe but @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org doubled down on their supoort for #DHH when there are only few people like #RMS that are worse. I'd rather loved to see them do a raffle for that among #FLOSS maintainers…

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users #FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped" @marcprux@mastodon.social has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen Click: https://f-droid.org/2026/02/24/open-letter-opposing-developer-verification.html

Vorsicht #KI: An welchen Antworten ihr #Linux Support Bots erkennt, wenn ihr ein Problem habt.

  • Du bist zu anspruchsvoll
  • Es ist #FLOSS, repariers selber
  • Wechsel die Distro
  • Bei mir im #Homelab läufts
  • Windows ist scheisse
  • Dafür bist du digital soverän

Lasst euch nicht entmutigen von den aggressiven und unwissenden Bots. Linux läuft besser ohne sie und es gibt immer eine Lösung.
