Nothing fair about "Fair Source". That doesn't exist. It's just an excuse / attempt to ride the good vibes of FLOSS.

Being "open" is good marketing nowadays so companies love to climb onboard, especially if they can prevent from actually being open.

Free/Libre Open Source Software all the way.

Pessoal, uma oportunidade interessante, especialmente pra quem trabalha com ou é parte de algum movimento social. Mentoria em mídias sociais e comunicadores livres, com direito a bolsa. Os encontros são todos em inglês, o que pode ser complicado pra algumas pessoas, mas acho que vale a pena pelo menos dar uma olhada.

But, @itsfoss, I can bring my last 2 toots about my #Linux Desktops.

The first one is the one that started all: My 2007 iMac, abandoned by Apple, turned into an @ubuntu machine.

The second is a Samsung Np540u3c I recently Upgraded with an SSD and @fedora.

Unless #nvidia literally #FLOSS'd everything like #LAPSUS demanded in 2021 that's not gonna happen...

Today's updated Flathub docs: more information for app developers about verification, including some more technical details. Inspired yet again by conversations with external ISVs.

What is verification?

Well, #Snap may be better on the #Server side but considering the "standard by consensus" on #FLOSS they should admit defeat and go with #FlatPak.

Espechally since #Canonical doesn't seem to yet provide the benefit of a #centralized #repo in the form of #QualityControl and #Verification of #Developers...

For some light summer reading:

https://cc.vvvvvvaria.org/wiki/Wiki-to-print,_Wiki2print,_Wiki-to-pdf,_and_so_on...

"Wiki-to-print, Wiki2print, Wiki-to-pdf, and so on..." is an exchange between members of #varia and Hackers & Designers about their publishing workflows along the trails of using #MediaWiki as a way to collectively make paged media (in other words, PDFs). @simoon and i have been working with these wiki publishing configurations to make a book, newspaper and currently a next edition of the #APRJA journal.

And this is a PDF version (as part of H&D Bulletin #1):

The conversation will be continued in Part 2 after the summer. 😀

I'll keep saying it, because it keeps coming up. If you're working in the FreeDesktop, Linux, or Flatpak spaces, you *need* to understand this, even if you don't personally care about gaming or Steam Deck.

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.
