So I created an open-source Lemmy bot to reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to preserve your privacy.

Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without connecting to Google's servers.

You can find the source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot

You can find Piped's source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

Awesome app. It is somehow not listed on android-foss list so maybe someone didn't know about it.

Obtainium allows you to install and update Open-Source Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

Hi all. Wanted to announce our new release on Lemmy before that other place even if it's just a few minutes before :).

Survive, farm, build, explore, play with friends, and do much more. Inspired by a well known block game, pushing beyond.

How to play:

Download Minetest

Install MineClone2 from ContentDB

  • Click "Browse Online Content" and filter by Games (select "Games" from the dropdown box)
  • Find "MineClone2" (should be first on the list or on the first page)
  • Click the [+] button next to MineClone2 and wait for download to finish
  • Click "Back to Main Menu"

Create new world and play

  • Click "Start Game" tab
  • At the bottom click the MineClone2 icon (the 2 dirt with grass blocks)
  • Click "New", give your world a name
  • You can leave seed blank or put in a word of your choice
  • Select your new world
  • Click "Play Game" and enjoy!

I'm not looking for a full PDF editor. Only to do tasks like merging and splitting PDFs, removing pages, or creating a PDF from a bunch of images.

https://www.ilovepdf.com is very handy, but I don't like the idea of uploading my documents to them, especially if they have sensitive data.

Hi everyone,

I'm pleasantly surprised and very thankful for the traction Plemmy has received in a few short weeks since its initial release!

The primary goal of Plemmy is simple: offer access to the LemmyHttp API in Python, allowing users to interact with any Lemmy instance using Python.

Plemmy's LemmyHttp object does just this, returning Python request.Response objects resulting from Lemmy API calls. All LemmyHttp functions have been implemented!

With release 0.3.0, Plemmy now offers a way to parse request.Response objects, extracting all information and placing them in easy-to-use Python objects. The design of these functions/objects closely mirrors the objects and data types defined in the lemmy-js-client.

These additions should make interacting with Lemmy in Python easier than ever. Check out Plemmy's repository for example usage (more documentation to come!).

Thanks for the continued support,

Travis

Education technology, or EdTech, is increasingly shaping and influencing the day-to-day experiences of students, teachers, and administrators. Recognizing the importance of education to the digital economy, corporations are capturing emerging markets in schools and higher education institutions through the process of digital colonialism.

Maybe I've installed too many plugins? I have close to 20.

Edit: It was just an issue on Arch Linux.

No, I am 40 plugins all active and they have not changed my browser load time almost at all.

Make sure there are no other issues. If you are on Arch Linux, there is a problem with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that if installed will slowdown loading of many programs.

The open source community is growing in more ways than one

Note: It seems this repo might be a bit out of date. Thanks to @[email protected], some alternatives to consider:

Am a bit confused about these two and want to learn more. Are there recommended use cases? Which one is more secure? Is there something like the "better" one?

I'm looking for software which I can host myself, own website. The purpose of the software is to let clients sign contracts online digitally.

What would be the easiest way to do this? And perhaps any suggestions?

Thanks.

Have you seen this leak? Discovered it today by accident when I tried to find an OSS clone for this game.

I see a lot of people angry about redhat's decisions of not wanting to redistribute source code to others but I think that should be completely within their rights. The way I see it is like I am a developer of let's say a music player. I make my source code public because I want people to see what they're downloading and may be get advice what I can change to make it better. I charge $10 for my app. And then someone else downloads my code, compiles it and redistributes it in his name with few changes. Then why would people want to use my app when they get same app for free? I think then, it's completely within my right to make it closed source in that case as that's what I make money from. Sure, my app is based on a free and open source framework but then there's also such a thing as consent

They consented their framework to be used for development. I don't consent my app to be redistributed. Why is it an issue?
