Vandaag werd mijn projectje "Bestemming Nerdland" vermeld in de nieuwste aflevering van de @nerdlandbe podcast (🙏 @jbaert en de andere podcasters)
🌐🔊 Ik maakte een interactieve wereldkaart waarmee je "nerdy bestemmingen" kan ontdekken, telkens met het bijbehorende fragment uit de podcast. Het project steunt op #opensource en #openknowledge, met dank aan o.a. @maplibre @openstreetmap en @wikidata

#ReleaseWednesday Just pushed a new version of https://thi.ng/block-fs, now with additional multi-command CLI tooling to convert & bundle a local file system tree into a single block-based binary blob (e.g. for bundling assets, or distributing a virtual filesystem as part of a web app, or for snapshot testing, or as bridge for WASM interop etc.)
Also new, the main API now includes a `.readAsObjectURL()` method to wrap files as URLs to binary blobs with associated MIME types, thereby making it trivial to use the virtual filesystem for sourcing stored images and other assets for direct use in the browser...

@nivenly, an organization that supports open-source services and projects, has launched the Fediverse Security Fund. This member-supported program will pay people who identify and fix security vulnerabilities that might affect fediverse services and apps. “Part of the program is…education for project leads, helping them understand why responsible disclosure practices for security vulnerabilities are important,” open source contributor @thisismissem told @Sarahp. Here's her story for @TechCrunch

Tout a fait d'accord avec ce que tu dis @pablopernot !
J'ai essayé de faire la transition notamment lorsque j'ai vu ton toot @ploum (je ne saurais le retrouver ici), mais c'est difficile (notamment quand #JeChercheUnJob) de se passer du moyen de contact privilégié des recruteurs dans l'IT.
Et j'aimerais tellement une alternative plus respectueuse de nos données.
Si quelqu'un veut se lancer dans le dev d'une alternative #opensource et respectueuse des données, je suis prêt à le rejoindre

I am working on creating a handbook that describes the assistive technologies available in the FreeBSD operating system, which will be freely available online for anyone to consult. Currently, the effort is focused on gathering and documenting accessibility features for visual impairments, and it is sponsored by the @FreeBSDFoundation
If you are interested in the topic, a public repository is available for suggestions and corrections: https://gitlab.com/alfix/freebsd-accessibility

Screenshot of the "FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook" webpage. The page is part of the official FreeBSD documentation site and includes the title, copyright information (© 2025 The FreeBSD Foundation), and an abstract. The abstract welcomes readers and explains that the handbook covers assistive technologies available in FreeBSD. It is described as a work in progress, with suggestions and feedback encouraged. The page also notes that the handbook can be downloaded in various formats from FreeBSD servers. On the left side, a navigation menu lists chapters such as Help, Virtual Terminal, Colors, Low Vision, Blindness, Desktop Environments, and Development.

Information about the UK #cybersecurity Bill coming out today:
Missing:
* Protections for encryption
* Explicit discussion of #digitalsovereignty and the need to transition to #opensource #foss
* Safeguards against future self inflicted cybersecurity disasters through hiding vulnerabilities leading to incidents like WannaCry
@openrightsgroup will be making the case for these changes

"80% of websites and apps only use the most basic backend features. Using over-engineered solutions lead to unnecessary costs and complexity.
Manifest keeps it simple, delivering only the essential backend features and smoothly integrating in your project like any other file in your codebase."

@cmccullough @wbpeckham @fedora @opensuse I think "woke" just means basic human decency. Perhaps it means that Open Source software is a helpful thing. #OpenSource

#licesing question.
People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).
Does that break the GPL?
"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week as users look to avoid subscription costs. That’s the highest download number since 2023. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3840480/libreoffice-downloads-on-the-rise-as-users-look-to-avoid-subscription-costs.html
