#openSource
For the last couple of years I've been writing and publishing computer science books using an open source model. We put the source on Github, and we take input from the community to improve the books. All the content is freely available on the web (see https://www.systemsapproach.org/books.html for links). Occasionally we produce print and ebook editions, and we are now at that point for our latest effort: "Private 5G: A Systems Approach". Find one mistake/typo and you get a mention in the Acknowledgments; find two or more and you get a free book. (Appendix not covered in this deal as it's still in progress).

@linuxtech @joplinapp #Joplin is my FAVORITE #OpenSource app! I use it nearly every day. Lots of technical notes, yes, but I also store things like the exact paint color for each room of my house, personal journals, recipes, projects I’m working on, and school notes.

the pyproject.toml file is a great way to store your #python package's metadata. In many cases, especially if you are creating a pure python package, you can get ride of that setup.py and setup.cfg .

We're very close to publishing our next Systems Approach book, which is on Private 5G. As is our tradition, we are offering a bug bounty before we go to print.

Imagine an organization calling itself the so-called steward of #OpenSource, doing an annual survey of the movement that only collected responses of corporate users.
Imagine such an org being so unaware of the realities of #OpenSource that it doesn't realize that there are more people using it as individuals than corporations.
#SoftwareFreedom is about people. It always has been. Don't let them take it away from us.

I had originally got started with Evernote but exported everything to QOwnNotes later on. After that I started using Obsidian (powerful, free but not open source), and I'm thinking of making a change again back to something open source. Although I've also tried Joplin and Standard Notes, I never fully migrated to them. The beauty of an open standard like Markdown is that you can switch apps and just continue using all your notes from 10+ years ago.
The only issues you may experience are that some "features" like say generated tables of contents, Kanban, to-do's, highlighting, etc are not standardised in Markdown, so you can lose these when changing apps. But generally, headings, bold, italics, indenting, links, images, tables, etc are all fine. So, if you stick to one editor then go wild with the extra plugins, but if you want to retain compatibility across editors then you may want to think about what plugins you make use of.
Although not listed in the linked article, I see that open source and cross-platform (including mobile) Logseq has vastly improved, and I may want to give that a spin. Its feature is "everything is a referenceable block" with a block being a paragraph of text, and it calls notes pages. Only thing is it seems to mark the start of every block with a dot (and this shows in other editors) so hopefully I can disable that being inserted into the saved text. Its philosophy also centres around a daily journal where you just write your notes and can flag to-dos or link/search for anything. It also has whiteboards and graph views of linked notes (just like Obsidian).
Very interestingly, I noted that both Logseq and also Obsidian, have various Chat-GPT plugins to help generate content or even to rewrite your rough drafts. So yes, AI has already invaded open-source text editors!

All geeks who cherish or at least somewhat care about humanity and the supposely inalienable rights we humans deserve ought to read his story...
「For 12 years, Program Think, an anonymous Chinese blogger, mounted an open challenge to China’s tightening authoritarian grip and expanding surveillance state.
The freewheeling blog offered a mixture of technical cybersecurity advice and scathing political commentary – including tips on how to safely circumvent China’s Great Firewall of internet censorship, develop critical thinking and resist the increasingly totalitarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party.
...
Then, in May 2021, Program Think suddenly went silent. 」
「“Since June 2009, (Ruan) has used his computer to write more than a hundred seditious articles that spread rumors and slander, attack and smear the country’s current political system, incite subversion of state power, and intent to overthrow the socialist system,” the court verdict said.
It added that the articles, published on overseas platforms, attracted “a large number of internet users to read, comment and share, causing pernicious consequences.” 」
「Ruan never cared much about money or material comfort. Instead, he longed for what he called the “open source spirit” – freedom, openness, sharing and cooperation, Bei said.
“He thinks one must pursue spiritual values in life. For him, it is technology – that’s what he finds valuable. But only recently did I discover that his (quest) for freedom had also morphed into a (longing for) political freedom,” she said. 」

The thing i never expected about building a #opensource #python community like @pyOpenSci that values diversity as its core: Every day I show up to "work" & am given the gift of community support, & perspectives from diverse backgrounds. Every day I learn. Every day i'm inspired by everyone to give all of my energy back to this community.
So Inkscape on macOS has two directories:
~/.config/inkscape
and

It seems like since 2020 on my machine that the Library version is the one that is used, but old docs & posts still mention the .config one.

@smallcircles @plr it is a red flag in term of cybersecurity and infosec. It is a legal issue as well, especially when the survey states use "only for scientific purposes". Perhaps you can be sued for this lie; i do not know. It is a problem of representativity as stated by @smallcircles as well as a ethical nonsense when the communication about the survey turns around #opensource. References for that are the RGPD and your conscience.

@mhoye @judell i think that coding assistants like Yegge describes are going to be absolutely huge, and unfortunately bothering to understand the code will increasingly go out the window— just automated test it and loop back until it's good enough, the same as LLMs are going to be overwhelming us with marketing/spam.
But they could be used for good, for making us a lot more efficient and effective at software development, but damn first we need #OpenSource ones that won't enclose all our work.
My greatest contribution to #OpenSource so far has been trying to follow the #documentation, failing, and then fixing the documentation. #FOSS #docs #rtfm

@11thJeff
When you tap on a #ReplyToot in your feed, it shows you that toot in the context of the original conversation, so the necessary #metadata is already there, and the app devs just need to utilize it.
If you'd like to see the #QuoteToot become a real feature, you should consider contributing (code, funds, or both) to one of the #OpenSource #Mastodon clients, like #Tusky, #Fedilab, etc.
We can all sit around #ArmchairQuarterbacking about which features we think ought to be added, but at the end of the day, the people making the decisions are the people writing the code. If we make our voices heard in those circles, we'll be much more likely to see the results we want than if we just keep broadcasting our hopes and dreams into the ether, praying that somewhere out there, someone is listening. 📡
Great news for #OpenStreetMap: the Field Papers project has been adopted into the suite of tools that @OpenStreetMapUS supports for the benefit of the larger OSM community.
