Example, here's my LibreFM account: libre.fm/user/laibcoms
It is powered by #GNUfm.

…With the new #GenerativeAI #AIArt tools combined with #ChatGPT we will see in the next 12-18 months literally 1,000’s of animation clips of this quality and variety explode onto the scene. We will see at least several dozen FULL LENGTH FEATURE FILMS at 90’s Disney level quality
Make no mistake we are 12-18 months away from seeing the first entirely #AIArt 2D animated film that looks like a $100 million 1990’s Disney animated masterpiece. It’s gonna get surreal in a hurry. 30 second text prompt makes a dozen images that would otherwise take 10 HOURS EACH
Once upon a time, the F in #FOSS meant "Free" as in "freedom". Nowadays some of the developers are ascribing instead to some different political theories (which is fine) and perceive FOSS as a way to advance a politcal view or agenda (*not* fine). 1/
In fact, some argue that software should not be used if there are moral or ethical issues, forgetting for example the legal issues around the JSON license (what does "not for evil" mean?). But, to me, it seems that some developers *hate* the idea of freedom. 2/
It looks like they have issues with how people use their software, even though the license perfectly allows them to do so. Yes, some people will use your software for stuff that is displeasing, sometimes illegal, sometimes even vile.

#Azure Managed Identity assignments are "secure by default."
Dangerous attack paths can emerge around these assignments.
Here's those attack paths emerge, how attackers abuse them, and how defenders can eliminate them: 🧵

I used to trust Juan, aka @reduzio. Never again. This manipulator cannot be trusted. I'm talking about this as someone who has spent years contributing to @GodotEngine.
Whatever you decide to do with Godot, please, do not give money to them.

If you're not aware of manipulation techniques, you'll instantly believe Juan, since he is very skillful in gaslighting. So skillful to the point that what you see on the fragment above must be broken down into smaller pieces and be explained in detail.
I am an open and honest person. But in a community-driven project, where Godot explicitly mentions that "community-driven" implies "open discussion", Juan wants to feel me guilty for being an open person, which is ridiculous.
People of #GameDev used to raise reasonable questions about @GodotEngine when it went #OpenSource!
The leadership of Godot acts like contract game developers that benefit from free labor, which explains everything about Godot's governance.

You can read my analysis as an ex-contributor regarding Godot's governance model which confirms the above comments:
Commenting on "what's wrong with that" regarding free labor:
The lead developer Juan Linietsky (@reduzio) wrote that there's "true meritocracy" in Godot. But if you ask him directly, he says that everything is based on trust, and "not meritocracy":

Hey @DestLinuxPod Halfway through ep271 and I'm liking your rundown of #foss/#floss on mobile📱. Personally I use Opera browser as it's the only one to support fit-to-zoom so I don't have to strain to see small text on sites that don't render well on mobile. But I'd like to draw
your attention to Bromite, particularly @dasgeekchannel. It strips all tracking kind of like ddg. I'm dubious about ddg as the company is based in the USA but they have held up well so far.

I really prefer a folder structure with my notes and nowadays lean heavily toward #markdown. I've tried many over the years but all seem to cease development. Found Markor on F-Droid and it's perfect for me, so I donated him a tenner.

"Wir wollen stattdessen eine zentrale starke Auftraggeberrolle einnehmen."
Ja genau, dieser Gedanke, dass man ohne Fachkompetenz Auftraggeberkompetenz erlangen könnte. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum ihr die letzten Jahre so verkackt habt.

Es ist gut, dass das Zentrum für Digitale Souveränität nicht kommt.
Es ist totaler Quatsch und die #osba bekam letztes Jahr schon 15 Millionen Euro für die nutzlose Kommerzialisierung von OpenSource Software. Die niemanden etwas bringt, außer den Beteiligten Unternehmen.

Ich finde das gekuschelt zwischen Verbänden, die Wirtschaftsinteressen vertreten und zivilgesellschaftlichen Verbänden ziemlich befremdlich.
Und auch die Unterstützung der weiteren Kompetenzexternalisierung der Verwaltung, wie sie bei #Zendis passiert, finde ich schwierig.

Das ist ein super Beispiel, wie die öffentliche Verwaltung ihren Verpflichtungen zu #publiccode unter dem Vorwand der "Digitalen Souveränität" nicht nachkommt.
Es ist einfach das allerletzte staatlich finanzierte Software nicht auf GitHub zu entwickeln.

Leider ist es aber genau das, was das @BMI_Bund und Vereinigung wie die "Open Source Business Alliance" mit ihren eigenen Verwaltungsrepositories propagieren.
Weil es ihnen bei #FOSS eben nicht um die Zugänglichkeit zu Code und Community sondern ihr Geschäftsmodell geht.

🧵#LatinXChem En mi experiencia optar por software gratuitos surge de la necesidad de encontrar alternativas al pago de licencia. No cuento con 💵 y tampoco quiero bajar "cracks", ni versiones piratas por miedo a los 🦠s, ademas de que está 🚫por la ley
Bien dicen que "no hay mal que por bien no venga" y es que el encontrarme con una barrera de pago, fue una oportunidad enorme para entrar al mundo del software libre y de código abierto (Free Open Source Software #FOSS)
Durante mi doctorado mi compañero el admirable Dr. Víctor Duarte Alaniz me había platicado varias veces sobre cómo usó el software libre para escribir su tesis de doctorado y realizar sus aclamadas y famosas portadas en revistas científicas con @Blender

I'd like to finish my collaboration on @imakefoss with a last thread about a personal reflection about #FOSS and the connection that is created between the developer and the code, after my experience working on #raylib for 7 years and thousands of hours. Opening thread! 1/n
Similar to an artist that puts a part of itself into the created piece of art, same happens with code but I think it is specially noticeable on #FOSS projects, usually originated from passion, a passion to create something to be shared with the world, like #raylib. 2/n
Every #FOSS project includes in some way a piece of the creator, not only its mindset reflected on the way the project is developed (commitment, organization, care for detail, presentation...) but also an emotional component that usually gets unnoticed by the users... 3/n
Today I'll share some amazing #FOSS #gamedev projects/libraries, mostly C/C++, that I like and I follow the development. First one is GLFW, a window/context/input management lib, for OpenGL and Vulkan initialization: github.com/glfw/glfw 1/n
Next one: the popular STB libraries: C/C++, single-file, header-only, self-contained, portable... The most notable ones are probably stb_image and stb_truetype, intended to load multiple image file formats and TTF/OTF fonts rasterization: github.com/nothings/stb 2/n
Next: miniaudio, a complete audio library to manage device initialization, playback and recording, supporting multiple OS and and backends... and all contained in a single portable header-only C file... just amazing! Check it out: github.com/mackron/miniau… 3/n
Hi! Today I'd like to share some thoughts about code quality and deterioration on #FOSS, also related to technical debt, maintainability and product growing. Here it is my experience with #raylib after 7 years working on it... 1/n
When I started raylib, my programming knowledge was not the same than now, I learned many things during this journey and I know there are some pieces of code that should be rewritten from scratch. That requires redesign, implementation and testing... it requires time... 2/n
If that problem happens with a small project like raylib (~50K locs) and requires a fair amount of work to review and redesign, I can't imagine how painful it could be for bigger #FOSS projects with way more years in development. Same happens with closed source project... 3/n
Usually, when checking a #FOSS project on GitHub, project Stars it's the first that draws attention, it could be a nice popularity ref. but, personally, the first info I look for is the project CONTRIBUTORS. I think it's a good sustainability indicator. Let's talk about it! 1/n
At the very end, to keep a #FOSS project alive you need people working on that project. It could be the creator, maintainers or contributors. Anyone putting some time and effort into improving the project is welcome... really? Here my experience with #raylib... 2/n
Contribution to a project usually imply following some rules, that's one reason why a CONTRIBUTING.md file is recommended to be included in the repo: github.com/raysan5/raylib…. That file could also be accompanied by a ROADMAP.md to define the project aim. 3/n
After my last two threads about #raylib #FOSS SUSTAINABILITY and MOTIVATION, today I'm going to talk about a tightly related topic: MONEY. Is it required for the survival of a project? How much is required? What options are available to get some? Here it is my experience... 1/n
Let's talk a bit about MOTIVATION on #FOSS. How much do you need? How can it be maintained?How long can it last? Here it my experience working with #raylib for +7 years... SPOILER: It's not possible to be motivated all the time! 1/n
Original motivation: #raylib started as a weekend project, for my students to learn programming and be able to easily put things on the screen... also view/understand what was happening at a lower level (#opensource)! The idea itself seemed cool enough to motivate me a lot! 2/n
Results motivation: Students loved raylib and they started learning and creating things in just a few weeks... that was a great motivation to keep working, improving the library and adding new features! I received lot of positive feedback and engagement! Very motivating! 3/n
Our analysis reveals that the #SourceCode that has been released as the “backend code” is grossly incomplete. Though any effort at transparency needs to be lauded, much of how the @SetuAarogya operates is still opaque
