Once again I have an #askfedi question regarding #android #apps, ideally #opensource:
What is your favorite #gallery app?
- The original gallery from #eOS allows only crop in very few formats.
- #fossify gallery crops to many formats, but has no straighten/rotation tool (only 90° increments).

I am happy for any suggestions.

tl;dr: It now includes a build system and is much lighter than the previous versions. Only compatible with Mastodon 4.6.0 alpha versions.

The first two versions of Google's #AlphaFold software (to predict protein folding) were #OpenSource, including the one that earned its developers the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There were no restrictions on commercial use. But the third and most recent version blocks free commercial use, and is poised to earn $100+ billion from partnerships with #pharma companies. Then three MIT students reverse-engineered AlphaFold 3 and released their OSS model, called #Boltz, with no restrictions on commercial reuse. Like Red Hat, the Boltz team is making good money selling services while leaving the software free and open.

I bloggered a post.

It's about shortcomings of FLOSS and a possible next thing.

My Next Project Won't be FLOSS:

#FLOSS #FOSS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #GNU #GPL #OSI #MIT #BSD #BTPL #PolyForm

First, accept that no matter what phrase you use — atomic vs. immutable — someone will claim you’re using the wrong term. There’s still disagreement in the tech community about the correct terminology for this type of Linux distro.

That said, for the average consumer (home users — most of you reading this), these types of distros are still “new.” By new, I mean they are still establishing themselves. Having said that, if your overall goal is to have a Linux distro that is rock-solid, automatically updates itself, can automatically recover itself, and you mostly just want a basic system — meaning you primarily plan to browse the web, work with documents, stream movies and music, and print or scan files — then an immutable/atomic distro will be fine for you. You should also be comfortable accepting that most apps will come from the app store (Flatpak) rather than installing them manually.

Yes, you can technically add layers to such distributions and customize them to your heart’s desire. You can geek out just as much as you would on any other system. But understand that this requires extra effort, and it’s generally not the primary focus of these systems. The main goal is for users who want a “set it and forget it” system that just works out of the box with a GUI (graphic user interface)

Assuming you are coming from Microsoft Windows, you should first decide between KDE Plasma and GNOME. I recommend KDE Plasma, as it will be the more visually familiar and include the most easily found, easiest-to-use graphical interface settings and options — keeping everything simple and “point-and-click.” Out of the box, it will look closest to Windows 10 or Windows 7. If you prefer a layout more like Windows 8, while still offering many easy-to-use settings (though fewer than KDE), GNOME would be a better choice. GNOME may also be a better option if you’re using a device with a touchscreen, just as Windows 8 was better suited for touchscreens.

Next, it all comes down to what you're looking for from your system.

I am digging through my old work from Linode and Akamai to build a new portfolio, and I stumbled on this illustration I did to announce that Linode had one-click app deployments.

A vibrant, whimsical illustration set against a sky backdrop with clouds and a sun. In the scene 1. A stylized blue whale, representing Docker, floats on the water. 2. On the whale, a butler dressed in a suit and carrying a sommelier's napkin on his forearm, symbolizing the Linux tool 'Jenkins'. 3. A torch with a flame, representing Prometheus, burns on the tip of the Docker whale's nose. 4. A flag with "LEMP" written on it, which stands for Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP, a common web stack for web servers. It is attached to a buoy that bears the NGINX logo. 5. A stylized sun with rays, representing the open-source community's energy and collaboration. 6. The Grafana logo 7. A small dolphin creature, symbolizing MySQL, is playing by balancing the Grafana logo on its nose. 8. Paper airplanes flying in the sky, which represented ShadowSocks, a VPN tool used at the time to bypass the great firewall of China. The overall theme conveys a sense of unity, innovation, and collaboration within the open-source ecosystem.

I've just installed OpenCloud, and it's pretty good. A new self hosted open source cloud sync server. It's still lacking features and a bit basic, but the backend is written in Go, and the front in Vue / Typescript, so it's really light and snappy - compared to similar apps written with PHP.

https://opencloud.eu/en/features

I have it running alongside Nextcloud, and haven't decided yet if I'm replacing it. Though, the reason I went looking for alternatives anyway, is because Nextcloud has been feeling more and more bloated and sluggish.

I hope it's only a temporary glitch, but suddenly the UBS home banking login page does not seem to work on Firefox anymore (it works with Chrome). This also happens with a fresh Firefox install (no addons, mods, anything).

If this is true, then this means that from now on, the largest Swiss bank only allows customers to use their home banking with either their proprietary app (which of course requires Google Play Protection and does not work on Graphene OS), or with a hardware token plus a US-megacorp controlled browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).
