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.
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)

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Activism through open source.
8·7 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).

Android@lemmy.world•What is the best way to create an android app in 2025?English
5·7 months agoAnticipate technical debt and follow what Google recommends. In few words, use Kotlin and Compose.
However you should really have a look on Google guidelines. In more worlds:
- by default Kotlin and Compose
- if some logic to share between other projects in other environments: Kotlin Multi Platform (KMP)
- if shared UI: Flutter (but Google reduced Flutter teams and KMP is being better and better, so we can suppose Flutter will join the Google Graveyard

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there still no open source alternative to replacing Google Play Services?
6·7 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.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•*Permanently Deleted*
4·8 months agoIf you are worried about your privacy, yes, you must get rid of Google Play Services. However a majors part of your apps may be broken as too much rely on this services and only in those services.
If you want apps to based on this layer of Google mess, have a look on some open spruce alternatives of your favorite apps. Maybe some of them won’t embed Google Play Services. But keep in mind you may lose some features like notifications from Google devices or fine tunes location.
You can have a look on microG or Open GApps for alternatives. However you may need to hack your device to flash them.
What you can do, for example:
- check if you can flash alternatives (possible to root and before unlock the boot loader)
- maybe check if you can flash another ROM ; projects list the compatible devices. Have a look on LineageOS, GrapheneOS or also /e/OS

Android@lemmy.world•What Keepass client do you use?English
1·8 months agoYep, it seems it is, but it can manage KDBX files. Just wanted to share 😄
Edit: sorry, didn’t see this thread is in Android community, my comment is not relevant for this platform.

Android@lemmy.world•What Keepass client do you use?English
11·8 months agoYou can use also for example Strongbox (https://github.com/strongbox-password-safe)
Edit: sorry, didn’t see this thread is in Android community, my comment is not relevant for this platform. For Android I am used to Keepass2Android (https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android). Simple, still maintained, under libre licence GPL 3.0.

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/

Programming@programming.dev•Is there a way to hide dependabot commits in the history of a repo?
21·1 year agoBTW I hope any project won’t increase the Z version only by including Dependabot commits, it would be insane. Release must be documented, tested, with CHANGELOG updated. If some maintainers just accept Dependabot commits without checking, move away. That’s just simple crappy auto-merge.















Title yes, but not tag.
