Since many people are joining #Lemmy these days, I just created #LemmyMatrix, a tool allowing people to generate #uBlockOrigin and #uMatrix rules for Lemmy known instances.
It's available through #Codeberg #pages:

Finished my series about Underground Games. In it, I advocate for non-commercial game developers to define as a scene that is emancipated from the commercial orientated #indiegame scene - as things are, we are pitted among prototypes and (semi)professional productions; we can't find each other and can not be found.

Hi! How are you? I'm primarily a #musician, sometimes a #SoundEngineer, occasionally a #producer, infrequently a #writer. I'm always an oldschool leftie #socialist, #anticapitalist, pro-#feminist, a #freesoftware and #libre culture advocate, semi-professional hermit and surrealist sportsman.
My #music has been known to be #psychedelic, #ambient, #satire, #spacerock, #electronic, #industrial, #kosmische, #minimalist, #experimental, #outsider & #avantgarde. I've run an indie record label Tryptophonic (originally Novy Mir) on and off since the late 90s. Over the past 30 years I've had the great fortune to have collaborated with a few of my favourite musicians & writers, as well as having performed in a variety of interesting (and often challenging) groups. Interesting times.
Nowadays I'm a semi-hermit living with my delightful musician / artist partner & our two sons in an old farmhouse & studio overlooking world heritage listed rainforest in #Australia's Northern Rivers region. I continue to make strange & inexplicable noises, but my work pace & output has slowed somewhat in the last few years due to caring for my 3 and 5 year old sons, as well as #gardening & fighting off triffids er I mean lantana.

@dervishe More often than not, there is not (and such "hobbyist" licenses are usually with lots of restrictions making anything fun impossible). Best is to ignore unjust licenses, and just move on with life.
Sometimes, you might get lucky in that the copyright holder still exists, and can ask them to make the software #FreeSoftware -- more often though .. the copyright holder no longer exists,

Happy news, fellow penguins! 🐧Five new versions of Linux-libre are out: 6.3.6-gnu, 6.1.32-gnu, 5.15.115-gnu, 5.10.182-gnu1, and 5.4.245-gnu1. Let's celebrate the freedom that comes with free software! 🎉 #FreeSoftware #GNU #LinuxLibre
Don't let proprietary software marketing dollars give you a false sense of security -- your devices are vulnerable. Understand the risks, and promote free software. Start the conversation in your community today! #FreeSoftware https://www.fsf.org
@luis_in_brief There are many other quite healthy, forward-thinking, user-centric, and pragmatic organisations that represent #FreeSoftware, and the @fsfe is only one of them. I would find it too easy to take the FSF's organisational failures as the reason to drop this term altogether.
But I would agree that #OpenSource is the by far wider understood term, and it's hard to stick to using only Free Software in companies or politics. Which is sad because the freedoms are what matter.
When is it OK to attack someone for using proprietary software?
The GNU operating system, with its towering pillars of free software principles and its shimmering codebase, stands as a beacon of hope for a world where users control their computing and their digital lives. Its glorious components sing in harmony, a symphony of freedom and empowerment for all who seek to break free from the shackles of proprietary software. #GNU #FreeSoftware #Empowerment
Pro-tip for 📽️ #YouTube watchers who are concerned about #FreeSoftware and #privacy:
Try #Invidious <https://invidious.io/>.
This is an alternative YouTube frontend for the web with all the bullshit of YouTube cut out. What is important to me, it avoids the JavaScript Trap because all code of Invidious is free software.
Probably not for complete web beginners, but I still recommend it for those who want control. 👍

Good intro in how to use the new #fdroid libraries which were developed for the #NextGeneration #Fdroid client. @grote explains how #CalyxOS by @calyxinstitute uses this.

PS: Follow @fdroidorg if you don't want to miss updates from FDroid about #FreeSoftware on #Android.
The European Committee of the Regions has just adopted its position on the #InteroperableEuropeAct.
It has failed in recognising the importance of #FreeSoftware for interoperability. This underlines the relevance of the participation of the Free Software community in the Interoperable board.
And source code access, with all the permissions needed for Software Freedom, are core to that social framing.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
https://copyleft.org/guide/comprehensive-gpl-guidech2.html
From my perspective, I would rather companies *not* adopt a GPL-family license for their commercial products if they don't understand its purpose, and are willing to stand behind it in a social benefit framing.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
Perhaps this will change if courts agree that there are third-party beneficiaries—the software-using public—that are harmed when the GPL is misused, abused, and outright violated.
This is the question raised in @conservancy v. Vizio.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #SoftwareFreedom
https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html
I think one cannot expect companies that adopted the GPL in self-interest to enforce the GPL in the software-using public's interest, especially if they have a business model based on keeping some versions of the same software proprietary.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
Some companies have used the GPL as a "community license" (like "freeware" or "shareware") not a "software freedom license".
The used the GPL for its goodwill and brand power from its association with #Linux and #GNU
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #SoftwareFreedom
It's understandable that companies don't want others to be able to enforce GPL obligations on software that is core to their business.
After all, we've seen how some have used GPL enforcement for their own personal enrichment.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
Unfortunately, there are cases where companies have adopted the GPL for their corporate interests, rather than thinking first about protecting rights for software users.
They use contributor agreements (CLAs and ©AAs) that prevent others from having standing to enforce the GPL.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
Today, software users have little recourse in cases where intermediaries fail to comply with GPL license requirements unless someone that holds the copyright is willing to enforce the license.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
@blakereid I remember seeing a speech either during @fsf 's #LibrePlanet or @sflc 's events in which one of the presenters said that one of the most important part of #AI is the training data or the data source. I think these and the #AI should be #FreeSoftware.

@bastianallgeier This! We also see that a lot in the #FreeSoftware/#OpenSource movement. Many maintainers and developers are first applauded and then often become a punching bag because they do not please everyone and - surprise - are humans, i.e. ask for money, work for a company, or have to make hard strategical decisions on the project's direction.
Eugen/Gargon or Lennart are good recent examples for this phenomenon, and I feel ashamed to see how they are treated by a number of people.
