Sprout: the #opensource motherboard that brings #iPods back to life - https://www.open-electronics.org/sprout-the-open-source-motherboard-that-brings-ipods-back-to-life/ "It installs without soldering and reuses the original shell, monochrome display and click wheel."

Hey guys, I'm building Postfalcon which is an open-source social media scheduler. Write a post once, schedule it to Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Telegram and more, and it goes out when you want it to. Free for Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram. postfalcon.co #Introduction #OpenSource

Hi Mastodon! I'm a developer from Italy, and in my spare time I built Bandwise EQ, a free and open source equalizer for browser tabs, for Chrome and Edge. Ten sliders if you just want clearer voices or less boomy bass, a parametric EQ with a spectrum analyzer if you want to go deeper. Each tab keeps its own EQ, and pinned sites get their settings back.

Lots of nightly updates coming in today!

Most notable bugs:

• When you type a hashtag or at-person, the popout gets in the way
• Ultra Accessible themes for vision impaired have some font size issues
• Some hover states and element proportions, especially padding, have regressions from v5 and the new nightly theme
• Bugs in the advanced view

The latest changes are in the nightly branch, and work is still in progress. You can follow my work here: https://github.com/rollecode/mastodon-bird-ui/tree/nightly

Some of these are core issues and will probably be fixed or changed in Mastodon v5 stable. If not, fixes will go live in our fork.

Microsoft gaat haar licenties voor het onderwijs aanpassen: In de plaats van gratis modules komen er uitgeklede versies en betaalde opties. Waarom zijn we niet verbaasd over deze verschuiving? Daarom zeggen we: stap over naar open source.

Hi Mastodon! I'm Denys, a Ukrainian developer living in Spain. I'm building Vilna OS, a GNOME-based Linux for people who want privacy without the setup, and Gloxi, an open-source assistant that runs on your own computer. The cloud is optional, and text is masked and sent to EU servers only. Building in the open: github.com/StDenis1980/VilnaOS #introduction #linux #gnome #opensource #privacy

Hello fediverse! I'm Tommy, an indie dev in Washington. I built pŷr search: a free, open-source AI search that pulls sources first and answers from them with citations, so you can check every claim.

I wanna talk about the political movement of the Open Source community. If you spend enough time on fedi, you surely will have heard *plenty* of criticisms of what's going on in Open Source, and rightfully so. So I'm curious, what do we think the Open Source community *should be doing* in order to achieve important progressive and anti-authoritarian goals? What should the next generation of programmers be thinking of and working on in this space? A special rule: You're only allowed to say "don't X" if you have at least as many "do Y" recommendations. Preferably, I'd like to see more do's than don't's. Boosts welcome #tech #openSource #FOSS #progressive #programming #askFedi
