Una lettera aperta agli utenti di suite per ufficio, poco prima dell'annuncio di Euro-Office
«Negli ultimi giorni avrete letto diversi articoli che annunciano l'arrivo di EuroOffice, presentato come la prima suite per ufficio open source sviluppata in Europa. Ci sentiamo in dovere – seppur a malincuore, poiché l'open source dovrebbe basarsi sulla trasparenza e non sull'inganno – di correggere questa affermazione. La prima suite per ufficio open source sviluppata in Euro…

Bin nicht so der Fan von Jump 'n' Run Plattformer Spielen, aber beim Browsen durch die Open Source Game List (OSGL) bin ich auf VVVVVV gestoßen.
Zu meiner Schande muss ich gestehen, dass ich das Spiel vor gut 15 Jahren (!) günstig in einem der ersten Humble Bundles gekauft und seit dem nie wirklich gespielt hatte. Da hab ich wohl echt was verpasst! Macht ziemlich Spaß und der Soundtrack ist echt gelungen :)
In der Zwischenzeit ist das Spiel sogar Open Source geworden:

It is, while completely expectable, still surprising to me that when I talk about software on here and particularly services like Github, all the replies assume I'm doing open source work only or primarily.

So there was something about Github culture over time, and maybe just tech and linkedIn culture that started poising my brain.

Back when I was diagnosed with #diabetes, I've found two apps to help me. Both were proprietary.
The first one came from the glucometer's manufacturer, and it featured the ability to copy its readings over Bluetooth. It also had a pretty useful bolus calculator. However, it was also annoying in a number of ways: it required an account with all the implied data sharing, was premiumware (though using their glucometer implied a free "pro" version), was quite childish in design, didn't respect disabled animations or dark theme.
The second one was an independent Polish app to compute carbs from meals. It wasn't perfect, but it had a rich database of products and quite a few convenient features (like copying meals or calculating carbs based on recipes). Unfortunately, the authors went full way into AI hype, and while I didn't use any of the "AI" features (they were premiumware anyway), the app itself was becoming increasingly crappy.
Eventually, this motivated me to look for a new app. I've settled for #Diaguard. It's just got the basics: meal composition and computing carbs, plus letting me log blood sugar and insulin doses manually. It used to have a bolus calculator before I used it, but it was removed over legal concerns. Still, it's open source, it's nice, it's got no crap and it respects the dark theme. And honestly, given that I've already reached the point of overriding bolus calculator, I've figured out it's enough for me.
In fact, it's so "enough" that I'm not even using it regularly. I mean, if my blood sugar is predictable and my meals are predictable, there's no reason to waste time logging them. The app is there to assist me when I need it, not force me to use it.
I still keep the two other apps installed. The first one in case I had doubts over insulin doses and wanted to use the bolus calculator. The second one over my database of meals; though I had already exported it, so I just need to figure out if the export is complete enough.

I’m still completely lost with logic of JA4 patent licensing and actual incompatibility with the copyleft-license. So it seems to be a patent-based license and really risky to implement if you want to keep your actual software open source.
Did someone explore alternatives to avoid this? and especially other format which are open source friendly?
