Back in the day the best way to find cool sites when you were on a cool site was to click next in the webring. In this age of ailing search engines and confidently incorrect AI, it is time for the webring to make a comeback.

This person has given his the code to get started: Webring

Hey Community, I figured that I could strengthen existing automated unit test generation quality by integrating mutation testing results as a metric to determine the quality of my unit tests. Figured everyone should be unit testing their code now especially after the recent Crowdstrike fiasco.

I got a drawing tablet a couple of days ago and I really wanted to be able to scroll with it (it only has 4 buttons). I saw that it might be possible on X11 with xsetwacom but I'm on wayland and I couldn't find any way to make it work. So I hacked this together. Idk if anyone would find this useful but I did see a few threads around while looking to solve this exact problem so here you go.

The largest governmental fund for opensource is in danger of being cut by the EU in 2025!

The external developer who started the work and was highly praised by Gitlab offered to work for them if they made a team around federation --> nothing.

A group of French universities are now considering making a group in order to work on it themselves and contribute back to Gitlab.

Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.

Much have been said about the need to pay Open Source developers for their work and the fact that huge corporations use open source software without contributing back.

Most articles I’ve been reading on the subject completely miss the mark. Plenty of commentators try to reinvent some kind of "free software but with forced contributions" or "free software but non-commercial". Those are naive and wrong. If you impose limitations, it’s, by definition, not free software anymore.

The problem is not about Open Source or Free Software. The problem is everything else.

Crejs enables you to start building your applications faster, from setting up a project to installing a UI framework, all ready to use out-of-the-box.

After reading this post about Rust having a "supply chain problem" and @[email protected]'s response linking to the blog post "I'm not a supplier", I couldn't help but think of this talk (opensource conference hosting exclusively on youtube, make that make sense).

Hello,

I want a command line tool like graphviz to create graph in ascii. It would be nice if it can do more than just create graph, maybe some kinda ascii drawing based on provided input.

because sometimes I want to explain some stuff online and don't want create entire image using GIMP or something. I just want simple tool that creates the thing.

Thank you in advance!

So I remember back in the day when Source Forge was THE place to share open source projects. What ever happened? I can't think of a single recent project that is there. Everything is on GitHub, although I've also seen some things on Codeberg and GitLab recently.

Will github eventually go the same way?

Hi everyone. I'm launching Linguist Translate, an open-source, full-featured translation solution with an embedded offline translator based on the Bergamot Project created by Mozilla.

Site: https://linguister.io

GitHub: https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist

Today, Linguist is launched on ProductHunt. Support the project who really care about privacy: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/linguist-translate

Linguist is not just a wrapper over Google Translator like many other extensions. You can use any translation service with Linguist, thanks to custom translators! You may even deploy any machine translation (like LibreTranslate) on your localhost and then add this service to Linguist.

All features are included: text translation, full-page translation, selected text translation, Text-To-Speech, dictionary, history, and even more.

I am not following these claims carefully, but I have seen tons of copies of Lawnchair in the Playstore.

Another recent event that comes to my mind is the Simple apps, which AFAIK they always were open source? But that didn't matter until it got sold and then Fossify was the non shit version of it (the positive side of open source).
