It's that time again! Tomorrow (Tues) 14 July, 20:00 NZDT is our #libre / #FOSS Catch up. We'll be at https://meeting.iridescent.nz

I've used #pretix for a few events, and although I really like how feature-rich it is, the UX (both on the backend and public-facing pages) could use some serious design reworking. It was one of the few #FOSS alternatives out there to

I am super tired and frustrated, and I probably shouldn’t say this, but do you know any decent Product/Program Management roles where it’s not all about the senseless push toward AI, and maybe more focused on free/open-source software?

Does anyone know about an overview of #AI policies for #FOSS projects? Or are there maybe even some serious general rules for responsible use of genAI in software development?

How Proprietary Vendors Make Open Standards Look Broken - FOSS Force
Even when organizations adopt open standards, hidden dependencies can keep proprietary control intact and make open software take the blame.

Technology is politics -- especially in the Age of the Broligarchs.
The People's Movements should be using the People's Software.

Keep hearing about NAM in the guitar modelling world. This seems like an interesting development. Who doesn't love #FOSS #GuitarModeling taking the top spot?

I'm still not using Pixieditor, I don't really have a need for it at the moment, but its development keeps getting better and better.

Coffee at #fossnorth2026. Here we go. #fossnorth #foss

For one of the campaigns against surveillance I am looking for a designer to help us with some of the creative work. Paid project for a few days that can turn into something beautiful. Please send some of your work as DM here, ideally with your hourly rate. Reposting also helps.
The work should do to print in May. So please hurry.

Who else is going to #fossnorth and will be there Saturday and might need a company for a beer?

The Android app I was using for pixel arting on my phone, has gone and made exporting files a paid feature.
The thing is, I intended to pay the 20€ when I had a bit of money to spare, which isn't now, but this is a dick move I won't reward.
I'd rather use FOSS anyway, so: any recommendations? F-Droid seems a bit dry. Thanks.
