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?

With recent GA4 migration, my friends are exploring better ways to integrate various essential website scripts(e.g. product analytics, crash reporting, advertising, customer engagement, etc.). Google Tag Manager (GTM) is one solution.

RudderStack is a mature Open-Source alternative to GTM that can be self-hosted and has similar functionality i.e. load various product scripts without changing code and send events to desired destinations

Top 5 reasons to replace GTM with RudderStack

• You get full-control of your customer data while making the site/app load faster as you don't have to load multiple scripts
• As you can load and manage scripts via a central dashboard, it becomes easy, quick, and less error prone to replace any particular script with its alternative e.g. replacing Google Analytics (GA) with GA4 or Mixpanel
• It is OSS and not owned by Google
• Tranformations: Transform the events(using your own JS/python code) the way you want before reaching the destination e.g. remove personally identifiable information, enrich event data with some 3rd party information
• Can send customer data from website and mobile apps(using RudderStack SDKs) to warehouses(Postgres, S3, Redshift, Sbowflake, Bigquery, etc.) and 200+ destinations

After 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 12 (code name "bookworm").

"bookworm" will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.

From Listenbrainz website:

ListenBrainz keeps track of music you listen to and provides you with insights into your listening habits. We're completely open-source and publish our data as open data.

If you use Last.FM, you can import the data into your listenbrainz account. Listenbrainz also has Spotify integration.

Hi everyone, welcome, ect... It might go without saying but lemmy is open source! The platform is written in rust and typescript (which is a big pro for me). I'm sure we all have our little gripes with the platform, and those are fixed with collective teamwork :)

These are "good first issues", here is a contributing guide), and here is a chat where developers coordinate.

Let's make the best link aggregator!

I've been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that's needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it's open source.

I've got it to a point where basic browsing is possible and works with RedReader and libreddit, but I could use some help testing it with more apps and of course implementing more of the API.

To test with an app, you need to modify it to connect to the proxy instead of Reddit, which I've done here for libreddit, just for testing. The RedReader dev has already expressed some interest in making the API url configurable for the end user.

Seems like it should be a pretty easy fix but I'm not sure where the bg-secondary class is getting applied to this dropdown.

Searching the codebase for bg-secondary only shows the styles files.

I tried everything from an old tablet running android 4.1.2 to a newer phone running android 10, and it crashes on all of them. The game runs fine on all of them, getting frame rates higher than the display frame rate, but then it just randomly crashes without an error message. So, I was wondering if this was just an issue with the game or if it was somehow an issue with the devices I was using.

I know the game hasn't been updated in a few years and the creator hasn't been active on GitHub in several months, so I know it's not likely that the game will get an update but I still wanted to ask about this issue anyways.

It doesn't have a UI yet since I suck at FE development and I am learning to build what I want. But I would like some feedback on what I have so far.

I probably can't get a new phone super soon, but it's been quite frustrating how little support there is for iOS versions of open source software I've been slowing moving towards or investigating. I absolutely get why though!

I have the capability to understand complex topics but it takes me quite a few tries to really get it, so I'd like some help or recommendations of things that aren't "just use linux". (I am slowly dipping my toes by using WSL for things, though.) I am always searching for software, but I've never been active enough in communities to ask for personal recommendations and be warned of short comings. Obviously if you find recommendations, they want to look the best to you and hide their faults. I do try and research as much as possible, but like I said, I can get confused or not understand the drawbacks or full level of manual work/environments needed to operate at times.

Mostly I'm looking for day to day things that I can operate from my windows computer, but can also connect to my phone, assuming I get an android next. (Librem phones looks cool, but switching carrier providers is not feasible for me at the moment.) The boring things, like calendar, email, notes (I do use obsidian already). But if you'd like to gush about your daily drivers, I'm all ears!

After a short realization of how disorganized I am, my girlfriend said "어 진짜 I can't. I can't do this". So at the risk of my 6 year relationship falling apart, does anyone know of a good calendar we can use together to plan out our days?

EDIT: I appreciate everyone's concerns, but my relationship is not actually at risk. I'm just looking for a good calendar we can share 🥰

This week's issue of newsletter - #OpenSourceDiscovery  covered… ntfy.sh

A simple HTTP-based pub-sub service to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer

📺 Demo: https://docs.ntfy.sh 

👨‍💻 Source: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy 

🛠 Stack: Go, Javascript, FCM, Amazon SES, UnifiedPush

💖 What I like:

• Easy self-hosting thanks to plenty of installation options and minimal configurations required to get started
• Ability to attach files to notifications enables a huge number of use cases for this service

👎 What I dislike:

• Good for personal use case (when I as an end-user want to get notifications) but better tools are available for developer use case (when I want to send notifications from my app to users at scale)

Note: This is a summary of this full post

What are your thoughts?

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing rules that could benefit patent trolls, increase patent litigation costs, and harm the open-source software community. The Linux Foundation, along with other organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Unified Patents, is urging people to take action and submit comments to the USPTO expressing their support for a fair and open system that allows challenges to invalid patents. The proposed rules could favor non-practicing entities (NPEs) and hinder the ability of organizations like Unified Patents to challenge bad patents. The consequences could be costly for businesses and hinder innovation. The deadline for comments is June 20, 2023.

So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

I have been supporting Lemmy recently a lot and made posts about Lemmy that got big reach. Today, sadly the reddit account through which, I moderated a lot of subs and spent time on, comes to an end. The reason was because I spammed according to reddit, but the reality is that they have censored me because I was hurting Reddit.

Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well

I never thought this would happen, not that I didn't completely expect it (but maybe not this soon and sudden), after all Reddit is known for censorship, and the fact that Reddit admins have absolute power over this website makes this believable. But part of me, misses that reddit account, it has been special to me, as I've spent countless of hours spending my personal time to moderate and improve communities that helped Reddit thrive. I moderated as many subs as over 25, many of them had atleast over 1k people, some as many as 200k if not more.

Before this happened, suspiciously, they banned r/LemmyMigration today early morning,

it remained banned for a few hours and returned back to normal (not weird at all). I thought that was a mistake, as the sub was back to normal unbanned, but it seems like the Reddit admins realized if they banned my sub, that would prove how they censor it, it can work against them. Now, it seems like they have realized that bringing my account down would be more effective, and stop me from possibly sharing how they censored my sub on other subs for example.

It's a shame, and part of me is sad, everything I worked hard for was taken away by them all of a sudden. I wanted to bring some of my communities here, now everything is gone, and it feels more like starting from scratch (Or discuss with mods I am still in contact with, and get help to bring communities I was planning on bring here, but it certainly makes things harder, not giving up anyways, especially not after this).

BTW I have filled an appeal, but I don't expect this to be reversed, this was planned by the Reddit admins and all they have to do is ignore my appeal, there is nothing more I can do to get my account back, and they just got rid of someone who was pinpointing some of their biggest flaws and potentially dangering their platform's dominance in the "aggregation and discussion platforms" market.

A note to all refugees and ex-redditors here, or those who are planning to join Lemmy - See the power a centralized corporation like Reddit holds. With a decentralized alternative like Lemmy, you can host your own instance or join another one if you get censored, with lemmy, we can put more power back in the hands of the people.

I don't have much else to say, moving on I will have to work with mods left that I do know through external platforms like Discord and try to bring some communities here. I hope this does not happen to any other moderator who have spend countless of hours helping Reddit in-directly like I did, somehow escaping such a suspension.

EDIT: There is some controversy in the comments if I actually spammed, I don't think I spammed at all, I only made a post on r/ApolloApp, it became a hit so I cross-posted it to other third-party app subs, just so that it can hopefully reach out to the respective developers for them to possibly consider Lemmy in the wake of new reddit API changes.

I was also certainly not the only one mentioning alternatives like Lemmy on the r/Apolloapp or any other third-party app sub, in-fact many people were mentioning alternatives, though I was banned, also my community r/LemmyMigration as mentioned above was called spam (and was temporarily banned, but was weirdly brought back up just to put my account down later today afternoon) when it only had 2 posts today morning. To me, "spam" seems like it is only used as a cover up by Reddit, the real reason is that my posts, just like r/LemmyMigration, was about Lemmy, a competition to Reddit.

Also if it was really spam, as soon as I cross-posted my post from r/apolloapp to the other subs, the mods would have removed it well before they got a lot of attention, why didn't they?

EDIT 2: A user called @danke has been spreading misinformation about me in the comments:

Just as you did on your newly created reddit alt, you’re painting this lie that you were banned for your tiny no-name subreddit and not for spamming this garbage on 11 different mobile app subreddits in quick succession. It’s truly like clockwork for sitebanned users to lie and omit these massive details.

This is a blatant lie, I mentioned about the cross-posts right IN THIS post: "Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well"

As you can see, I made the post right here and on reddit, i never missed any details.
