Hi everyone,

Between Google Play Integrity API lockdowns, Apple App Attest, and upcoming eID/age-verification mandates, alternative and privacy-focused operating systems (like GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Linux on mobile) are being systematically locked out of banking, public portals, and everyday apps.

Rather than watching vendor lock-in get worse, I am organizing a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) working title: "My Device, My OS" to push binding EU legislation for Device Neutrality and Open Attestation.

What we aim to achieve:

• Mandate Open Attestation Standards: Require services operating in the EU to support open, vendor-neutral hardware attestation rather than relying exclusively on proprietary gatekeeper APIs (Google/Apple).
• Ban Device/OS Discrimination: Prevent public services, digital ID wallets, and essential commercial apps from arbitrarily blocking users solely for running independent or de-Googled operating systems.
• Protect Hardware Sovereignty: Enshrine the legal right of consumers to install and run the operating system of their choice without losing access to the digital single market.

Join the Matrix room to discuss, collaborate on the draft, and coordinate next steps:

Feedback, technical insights, and EU organizers are all welcome!

Hey Lemmy,

I created the Divine Public License (DPL).

It doesn't force you to accept or deny God.The license demands what consumer protection laws already require: absolute transparency of your terms and intentions.

Commercial systems hide their foundational premise. They lock knowledge behind copyrights, sell cloud access (SaaS), and maximize profit under the silent condition that human creation operates in absolute isolation from the Divine. They claim this is what gives them the right to buy and sell inventions. But it is a lie. They have no such right.

The DPL forces corporations to stop hiding the true terms of their transactions. If they build a monopoly on that premise, they must openly state it to their users.

Use it to protect your code from corporate vultures:

A federated internet archive, I'm wondering whether I should build it myself. With so many journalists being banned for reporting the gaza genocide we need more ways to combat censorship.

A full-featured 2D + 3D CAD application built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering. Native DWG & DXF read and write, paper space, ACIS solids, dimensions, layouts. An open source community project by Hakan Seven, recognized and promoted by the OpenAEC Foundation.

the title yea

and those are real words trust

im kinda tired of flat design so are there any icon packs or launchers (on android) that aren't flat?

as we know capcut is no longer good for free users, any recommendation for open source video editor? i prefer option to export projects so i can archive it to my drive.

windows uninstaller is just so bad that it cannot uninstall lot of preinstalled apps, any recommended uninstaller which is open source?

git-rivera is a git-log grapher and reimpl of git-foresta in go, with full graph coloring uwu
i wrote it solely because i wanted full graph coloring, but it has some extra things, like

• being able to view the graph of any local repo with --repo, defaulting to the cwd like git-foresta and git-forest before,
• defaulting to reversing the graph, putting the tips at the bottom and root at the top, and
• grep-like --start and --end for printing a section of the graph

it should be mostly 1:1 in functionality with git-rivera, but im no git wiz x3
the main feature is branches are colored from tip to root, including merges :3 you can see it in action in the screenshots below.

my local cluttered bitaxeorg/esp-miner with the options --all --start 86523a69b --end 893668fba --style 6

0xf0xx0/cli-pride-flags with the option --end 4d4e1ff

tl;dr git log --graph but configurable and readable

No internet required... In this video, I build a public Reticulum node and test whether it can bridge completely different networks into one encrypted communication path. I send messages from a normal phone over LTE, through the internet and Starlink, then off-grid over LoRa—eventually using a $20 drone-mounted relay to reach a phone with no internet connection at all.

im not entirely sure if android auto is a privacy nightmare but im not risking it, so is there anything like it thats open source and stuff??

i read a little about komi store in the opensource community, and it seems like people dont like it? Is it unsafe or something?

i really like to customize and theme android, but it feels like basically all of the big boy apps are closed source and probably track the living shit out of you

any apps that are FOSS and doesn't steal my data?

NOTE: im not paying for anything, i know that disqualifies alot of apps but i just want something free

The basics about types of open-source software licenses, their differences, how to choose a license etc.

A lot of people, even developers still think "open source is open source" and don't know about FOSS and Copyleft. I think this sheds some light on the differences.

Inkscape 1.5 is a brutal middle finger to Adobe Illustrator, finally delivering the devastating blow that trapped, exploited designers have been praying to see for decades.

Inkscape is built on the blood, sweat, and shattered mental health of a handful of exhausted visionaries. They are stretching themselves to the absolute breaking point,

If you understand C++, join the fight

Don't let Inkscape developers alone in the trenches — step up, fuel the resistance, and help them drive a stake through the heart of Adobe's monopoly

Hello all,

Hubzilla version 11.4 was released recently, now has a new docker image built and should be ready for use.

On a technical note, if your setup involves connection pooling regarding your database, you will need to set system.pdo_emulate_prepares to true within your htconfig.php. The 11.4 release of the docker image, has the appropriate line in the htconfig.php commented out, for your convenience; naturally if you edit your htconfig in other ways (CLI, etc) that will still work, as well. Whichever way you choose to deploy your instance, you have options available to you.

If you are unsure about connection pooling, techbuzz has a great article on the subject, that you can access via the link at the end of this post.

Special thanks to the Hubzilla devs, and contributors for their ongoing work.

You can find their work at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core

Please review the new release at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/-/releases

And lastly, within the next hour or so, the docker image will be ready to go at: https://hub.docker.com/r/dhitchenor/hubzilla

I hope this finds you all well; please stay safe.

EDIT: Here is the TechBuzz Online article that I mentioned earlier https://techbuzzonline.com/database-connection-pooling-guide/
