Open Source@lemmy.ml•GitHub provides feature for immutable releases
14·2 months agoYou can delete a release. But you can’t change the associated tag and the attached artefacts.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•We need to talk about your Github addiction
5·2 months agoDo you have some comparison documentation or benchmark to share comparing for example GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut and Codeberg?
I did not succeed in finding something comparing these forges about: -CI/CD
- runners
- issues
- project management
- wiki
- releases management
- third-party tools
I am used to GirHub and GitLab but not Codebeg 🤔
That’s vibe coding.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Briar alternative between Android and iOS?
1·3 months agoWhat about Bitchat?
Yup, I meant Mozilla Public License
Yes indeed the Apple App Store is not compatible with GNU GPL v3 licence. Maybe
MOLMPLcan suits your needs.However plenty of open source apps under GPL v3 or AGPL v3 are available on the App Store and Apple does not care.
For example:
- https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp (Mastodon client)
- https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem (Lemmy client)
- https://github.com/CovidTrackerFr/vitemadose-ios (COVID vaccines app)

Programming@programming.dev•Programming.dev instance: Sponsors neededEnglish
2·4 months agoWe should support our fediverse admins and instances 💪 Support by sending money (for people who can), moderating content, submitting issues or helping the team and project ✌️
It is complicated. He says true. And maybe your need to use GrapheneOS is relevant. If you have a smartphone without cellular connection, for a daily usage, FMPOV it is a non-sense in case of emergency. It is a risk you will have to take, I can’t disagree your dad. And what about your solution but with a SIM card with very few data and SMS available, through a SIM card you can keep aside your phone and insert when needed?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Activism through open source.
7·7 months agoDid you have a look on ethical licenses? For example, Coraline Ada Hemke who created the Contributor Covenant (famous code of conduct) started few years ago the Organisation for Ethical Source promoting “ethical” licenses defined by seven principles.
So in fact this third family of licenses is not open source nor free (as defined by OSI and FSF), nevertheless I feel some needs or willings in your side to go, let’s say, “one step further”.
In ethical licenses you can find for example 999 ICU, ACAB, Anti-Capitalist, Peer Production, Hippocratic or some BSD 3-Clause variants about nuclear topics.
You can also have a look on that slidedeck (in French, sorry).
Did you have a look on Cake Wallet app? Open source under MIT license and available on F-Droid.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there still no open source alternative to replacing Google Play Services?
51·7 months agoAn app? Nope. For notifications, there is open source alternatives to Google and Apple services but it is used in the apps side, not users side. Have a look on microG and Open GApps to flash in your Android device; it might help you.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Petition Attempts to Force OSI to Release Complete Vote Count
14·7 months agoIt seems the “radical” organisations like the FSF or the OES were right and more legitimate in the end.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is Signal safe and still private on an IPhone?
31·8 months agoIt is always the same issues in fact. You should consider your threat model before all. Then, consider the Signal app, then your iPhone supposed to be updated, trusted, with ADP enabled, biometric lock with erasure after 10 failures, etc. Then consider your ISP, then your country. Etc, etc. You should also compare the contexts. Is an iPhone “better” than a low or middle ranges Android-powered smartphones? For sure, yes. Is it better than high-range expansive smartphones with Android ? Or Pixel ones? Not that sure. And compared to GrapheneOS or /e/? Pretty sure not that much. You can also compare messaging solutions. Is Signal better than WhatApp? Of course yes. But what about XMPP and Matrix for example?
And what are your use cases? Remember your threat model. If you are an activist, a journalist or a whistleblower your needs may be different than a “commons citizen worried about its privacy.
In few words, the only pain point I see is the fact than iOS is proprietary and runs non libre source code and Apple devices than APN. But Android devices are not so much different. It does not mean the solution is not private or efficient, if we succeed in defining a definition of “private or efficient”.
In a nutshell, it could be considered as good. But not perfect.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Alternative open source frontend for Instagram?
2·11 months agoEnshitification made third-party apps disappeared. Prefer true open source project instead like Pixelfed for example.

Programming@programming.dev•How do i ask for contributors to my open source projects?
7·11 months agoBe sure also the issues you have in your project have the suitable labels to help future contributors to pick easily some of them, i.e. labels like “help wanted” or “good first issue”.
You can also refer to best practices listed and explained for example in Advent of Open Source so as to have a nice and user-friendly repo: https://adventofopensource.com/

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Looking for a FOSS maps app. (iOS)
9·1 year agoHave a look on Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app) or OSMAnd for example (https://osmand.net/).
