Kia ora 😊 We are replacing the software for our community library of things are looking for options. We live in a village so it would be a max of 300 accounts and probably 2000-3000 items in the inventory. I'm having a hard time finding anything open source.

I know it's very niche so no worries if nobody knows of anything 😊

Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

This report summarizes insights from the inaugural 2024 Open Source Software Funding Survey, a collaboration between GitHub, the Linux Foundation, and researchers from Harvard University. The objective of the survey was to better understand how organizations fund, contribute to, and otherwise support open s ource software.

Survey Respondents 159 respondents to the survey collectively contribute $1.7 billion (2023 USD) in annual value to open source. 86% comes in the form of contribution labor by employees. Extrapolating survey to all organizations active in open source Using the survey responses on contribution, we estimate that organizations contribute $7.7 billion annually to OSS.

I'm trying to better understand how app-to-app communication works within the owner profile alone. I read that apps need mutual consent if they wish to talk with one another, otherwise all apps are isolated from one another.

If that's true, how do I see and verify what consent has been given to an app?

There's obviously "Permissions" but to my knowledge that only gives an app access to sms, photos, etc., not letting one app talk to another. Storage scope is another thing I'm aware of which I can utilize.

I ask this because I need to install a standard predatory work app that has various accesses including location. I tried installing it in another profile and was going to spoof my location but developer options mock location doesn't carry over to the other profiles. So I need to install the app on my owner profile but want to be certain it won't be trying to harvest data from other apps or the system.

PresentMon is a set of tools to capture and analyze the high-level performance characteristics of graphics applications on Windows. PresentMon traces key performance metrics such as the CPU, GPU, and Display frame durations and latencies; and works across different graphics API such as DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, different hardware configurations, and for both desktop and UWP applications.

So i was looking around some stuff and discovered AssaultCube, i do remember hearing it's open source so i thought that topic might fit here (feel free to correct me if i am wrong)

I have been wanting to try that for sometime now but was worried if the game was dead or not (i won't mind if the playerbase is small or big, all i care about is if there's servers still running and if there's still people in it) and this might be a dumb question to ask since idk if there's any AssaultCube players or if there is even anyone here that knows it's existence but is the game alive at all? if not, are there alternatives that are more active? (AssaultCube-like or not, just any open source shooter game will do fine and i've already tried xonotic, good game and will play that again sometime lol)

Title says it all, while supertuxkart can actually be pretty fun.. i was curious to see if there were other ones aswell considering from what i remember, there was alot of games that are open source (also try xonotic, that game was fun as hell)

hope this post fits this community since i thought video games are just another type of software in some way (but if it isn't, feel free to correct me if i am wrong as it would be greatly appreciated for the future)

But yeah feel free to drop any suggestions related to racing games, thanks!!

We are very excited to share the first release candidate for the long-awaited GIMP 3.0! We’ve been hard at work since our last development update to get this ready, and we’re looking forward to everyone finally being able to see the results.

So, what exactly is a “release candidate” (RC)? A release candidate is something that might be ready to be GIMP 3.0, but we want the larger community to test it first and report any problems they find. If user feedback reveals only small and easy to fix bugs, we will solve those problems and issue the result as GIMP 3.0. However, we hope and expect a much larger audience to try out 3.0 RC1 - including many people who have only been using 2.10 up until now. If larger bugs and regressions are uncovered that require more substantial code changes, we may need to publish a second release candidate for further testing.

Over the last few years, there has been a surge in interest and adoption of generative artificial intelligence systems, and a corresponding interest in clarifying and delineating what open source should mean for AI and how to ensure AI serves the public interest. The DPGA Secretariat has been an active part of these conversations. Recognizing the transformative potential of AI, we have explored ways to democratise its benefits, advocating for public spending on AI that prioritises public interest and equitable access. Additionally, we have been examining how the DPG Standard may need to adapt in order to better determine what constitutes AI systems as a type of digital public good, via a community of practice (CoP), co-hosted by UNICEF.

This work has been unfolding against a backdrop of other initiatives and organisations similarly addressing complex questions surrounding the future development and use of artificial intelligence in the public interest domain. One such particularly important initiative has been the work to define open source AI stewarded by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) with the involvement of a large number of stakeholders and experts. After a two year long process the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) Version 1.0 was released on October 28.

Hi all, we’re building an open-source, self-hostable alternative to platforms like Klaviyo, Braze, and Mailchimp.

The core functionality of the platform includes a user segmentation builder, low-code email template editor, and low-code drag-and-drop journey builder for creating automated messaging workflows. Right now, fully supported channels are email, SMS, and webhook, with mobile push under development.

Does anyone know of an Android app for measuring decibels/loudness/volume?

I only need to measure sounds relatively, so it doesn't need to be accurate.

Title.

Don't really want to give my soul to a tech megacorps, but I do a lot of writing for work and hobbies, and sometimes carpal tunnel gets the best of me.

well then.
