I want to find or contribute to an open source Android app that behaves as a browser so that I can incorporate saving web pages to a specified (self-hosted) wallabag docker instance. Any suggestions?

Okular has robust support for digitally signing documents using a cryptographic signature, and it’s going to become even better soon. But what about signing documents using handwritten signatures, for those who live in places where digital signing hasn’t caught on yet?

Stumbled upon this talk and as a drive-thru bug squasher of many OS projects myself, it was interesting too see some of my feelings expressed.

How many of you have tried using SearXNG? It's a meta search engine that pull data from a number of sources before ranking and displaying them. I really like the cached feature that tries to load the internet archive copy of the page.

What do you guys think about this? (Wasn't sure which community to post this in)

I'm looking for a radio alarm clock project that I could do with a Raspberry Pi or a NodeMCU (ESP32/ESP8266), a small LCD screen and a small speaker.

Do you have any ideas? Does it exist? If not, how should I approach the project? Any advice on speakers for the Raspberry Pi?

I really don't want my photos, writings, etc to be used for things like StableDiffusion or ChatGPT, but some of them I still want to release under an open access license that's free for others to use in conventional derivative works, just specifically not AI. Does such a license exist?

Or at the very least, if my work is to be used to train AI, then I think the final models and neural networks themselves need to be open source and also free for anyone to use (as in, people should be able to download and run the AI on their own computer, not have to use the company's web app. Does CC-BY-SA protect against this since it requires that any derivative works also be released under the same license? Does it work like GPL in that regard?

@[email protected] #opensource @[email protected] Maybe it is not much but I make sure I donate $2 every month to every opensource application I use because without FOSS community, our lives will be held hostage to the corporate billionaires.
To the FOSS Community, Thank you!!

The European Parliament today voted in favour of the AI Act with 499 votes in favour, 28 against, and 93 abstentions. Free Software is given safeguards, these rules must now be defended in the trilogue and transferred to the Cyber Resilience Act and the Product Liability Directive.

I have P2Play installed, but have no idea which instance to use. Is it similar to Lemmy, as in register with one instance and be able to access all of them? Which instance seems to be the most common and reliable?

Edit: I feel knowing this will become increasingly more important in light of developments like these: Google going after Invidious (Discussion on Lemmy)

Why would I ever need to sign such s thing? If I contribute to an open source project, isn't it obvious that I agree to publish my code under whichever license the project is published under?

This is a great open source project to create your own locally hosted voice assistants. The user can host it and create their own intents for any sentences/intents they want.

I am a long time user and follow this project closely.

This is a cool project for an ESP32-S3-Box which can give really good voice support to Homeassistant or Openhab. Once installed on supported hardware, you can host the Inference Server yourself, use their cloud based version, or perform local actions on the device.

This is a cool project where anyone can make an RNode that can be used for transmission of digital radio signals. Each RNode contains the information required to create additional RNodes.

It's hard to see examples of FOSS being used widely between people. This could be the 2nd time after Mastodon that a FOSS project receives massive attention.

I can't recall other software that the public might have used without knowing it's open source. The ones I can get off the top of my head may be Firefox or Inkscape.

If you search for "Microsoft edge open source" there will come out a lot of blog posts from five years ago praising a Microsoft Press release that announces that edge is open source .

But then, there's no actual repository, the GitHub is empty, there's only the MIT license and that's it

So, they publish the source somewhere or it's just marketing?
