Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

• @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
• @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
• @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
• @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
• @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
• #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
• #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
• @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
• #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
• @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
• @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
• #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
• #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
• @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
• @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
• @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
• @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
• #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
• @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
• #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
• @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
• @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
• #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
• #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
• @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
• @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
• @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
• The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

#OpenSource #ILoveFS #SoftwareFreedom #Fairphone #Android #LineageOS #FSFE #OpenStreetMap #PhotoPrism #LibreOffice #Readeck #Eleventy #11ty #GNOME #Signal #forgejo #Codeberg #MusicBrainz #ListenBrainz #MetaBrainz

Also... so richtig begeistert bin ich von #Flatpak nicht.

Installationen sind gefühlt schnarchlangsam und verbrennen unheimlich Speicherplatz...

Und manuell aufräumen ist auch noch angesagt...

(Eben zweimal versucht, #Tuba zu installieren... vergeblich... auch nach zusätzlichen zwei GiBi Diskspace...)

Moin allerseits,

hat hier eine Person eine Quelle in #Dublin #Irland wo Mensch sich Instrumente ausleihen kann?

Genauer geschrieben bräuchten wir für den 25.07. eine (b) #Tuba

Wir sind für ein verlängertes Wochenende drüben inklusive Auftritt auf ner Hochzeit und wollen die eigene ungern mit rüber nehmen.

Eine(r) hier Ideen?

Dear @Tuba

I'm stuck getting Tuba started on #Ubuntu

I get the error message:

"Error while searching for user accounts

If you didn't manually cancel it, try creating a #password keyring named "login" using Passwords and Keys (#seahorse) or KWalletManager"

Clicking Read More does the same as Close: the app shuts down

I've created a keyring in seahorse called 'login' and put my password in there under 'Mastodon'. I still get the same error

@Tuba

I just ran into a weird issue getting set up for the first time. I have accounts on two different mastodon servers, and both had the same display name. Everything is fine until the program is closed and then reopened. Tuba would not save the second account until I changed the display name to something different. Once it had the account saved, I changed the display name back to the matching name, and Tuba seems to be saving both accounts as expected.

I'm testing out the new 0.9.0 release of #Tuba by @Tuba. I have never really used desktop clients for Mastodon on my actual computer. I usually just do things through a browser mostly because literally no desktop client supports any of the Admin portions of an instance. Not really a lot of reasons they should, and the handful of people out there that would use that just isn't enough motivation. Still, this is pretty nice from a normal user perspective. I think I'll keep it around for a while.

#Tuba v0.9.0 is now available, with many new features and bug fixes!

✨ Highlights:
- Audio Visualizer
- Accent Colors and other GNOME 47 changes
- Focus Picker
- Account Suggestions for new accounts
- Scheduled & Draft Posts
- Hashtag extraction from posts
- Full emoji reaction support for supported backends
- FediWrapped
- Thread Muting
