Programming@programming.dev•Programming.dev instance: Sponsors neededEnglish
2·9 months agoWe should support our fediverse admins and instances 💪 Support by sending money (for people who can), moderating content, submitting issues or helping the team and project ✌️

Opensource@programming.dev•libxml2 maintainer ends embargoed vulnerability reports, citing unsustainable burden
2·10 months agoSo abandon open source and move to “post open source” or ethical source might be a (sad) solution.

Opensource@programming.dev•Which collaborative localization service would you recommend?
2·11 months agoI do not know if the solutions I listed below are open source ; however as an open source contributor I am used to work with some tools depending to choice of the projects:
About credits, I don’t think these tools exposes in some automated way the contributors identities. However, nothing prevents you to use these web UI tools to find who contributed and list people for example in your CONTRIBUTORS files. Another way could be to edit the automated commits these tools submit to your Git repos by adding credits to the translators (with for example Co-authored-by field).

Opensource@programming.dev•Liste of non-AI licenses in a GitHub repository
3·1 year agoNot sure of that, maybe we need some case law or update on existing copyleft licenses. Source code generated with GenAI tool, even if their model have been trained with corpora of copyleft sources, are not (yet) considered as derivative works. What a pitty.

Opensource@programming.dev•Liste of non-AI licenses in a GitHub repository
3·1 year agoCould be interesting. Non-free and current GenAI tools violate copyright, we may consider some evolutions of copyfarleft licenses to forbid such use of source code in these types of tools.

Opensource@programming.dev•Liste of non-AI licenses in a GitHub repository
51·1 year agoJust wanted to share for the common knowledge and the debate as I already saw here some “post open source” and content about rubbish licenses like SSPL or BSL 😉

Programming@programming.dev•How do i ask for contributors to my open source projects?
7·1 year 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/

Opensource@programming.dev•Flutter has been forked to Flock
6·1 year agoWow, you mean that Flock 😅

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.

Opensource@programming.dev•Release v0.1.29 · komorebi - "Tiling Window Management for Windows" (non-FLOSS, see comments)
2·1 year agoThe project here is not under an open source license as defined by the 10 criteria of the Open Source Initiative. There is the only acceptable definition of what is open source today, and you can refer to it by clicking on this hyperlink: https://opensource.org/osd
The publication will be deleted as out of topic.

Opensource@programming.dev•Rustdesk No security audit, not even in roadmap
21·1 year agoPlease explain and answer the concerns as voiced by the community ; without more detail man can think your are a troll, a bot, or someone generated this answer using GentAI tools.
Your answer is not accurate as it does not bring useful details to the community which have legitimate concerns.
In addition the mentioned GitHub repository in a first sight does not contain mandatory files like CONTRIBUTING or SECURITY which does not help user be confident and have less concerns. Moreover, as the reproducibility of builds is not easy to prove event for FLOSS projects, you cannot rely on that point about open source approach. It does not seem that you are using either Dependabot, Renovate or Snyk to ensure the security of the software.
You should really bring details and make the community less worried and more confident instead of bringing that type of answers.
Next ones of that type might be removed ; the community is not dedicated to open source washing.

GitHub@programming.dev•A bunch of scripts to help manage GitHub organisations
2·2 years agoThe toolbox was made with an incremental approach. I was defined a a leisure time project, trying to make things fast then wrap anything in a wizard. It is no consistent I agree 😂

Git@programming.dev•A simple cheat sheet for Git
1·2 years agoI agree but the solution used for the blog hosting does not expose anything to have a nice rendering of the commands. In addition, using the time to write the command helps to understand and remember. But I agree it could be upsetting.
