Following up on yesterday's post about why I've decided to convert (some) open-source projects to closed-source ones, this post introduces the new, closed version of OnboardingKit.

The point of decomping subscription #closedsource software isn't to provide you new tools but to start a conversation about the free open source alternatives that bigcorps pay plenty of money to keep people from trying. Think of how many new people have learned about #GIMP because of all this.

Software-update - Jellyfin 12.0
Versie 12.0 van Jellyfin is uitgekomen, als opvolger van versie 10.11. Deze mediaserver is een fork van Emby en is ontstaan nadat Emby closedsource werd en er voor zogenaamde premiumfeatures betaald moest gaan worden, zoals dat ook bij Plex het geval is. Jellyfin is echter volledig opensource gebleven en alle functionaliteit is aanwezig. Het draait op Windows, macOS, Linux of in een Docker-container. Verder zijn er clients voor elk OS, mediaspelers, tv's en mobiele apparaten. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen in deze uitgave kan hier worden gevonden; dit is de inleiding daaruit: Jellyfin 12.0

Post 4/4

2. Und Zoom ist ClosedSource. Da fällt mir also mal wieder das FALSCHE Argument ein, dass der Einblick in den Quellcode bei OpenSource ein Sicherheitsproblem wäre. Der fehlende Quellcode hat die KI aber nicht aufhalten können.

Leider wurde dieses Argument auch in den letzten Monat mit […]

Ofc I meant distribution outside of the PM (which is required for any kind of closedsource sofware). (think for example games)

There are solutions nowadays but still a pain compared to win/mac.

For debugging at least there's debuginfod that mimics symbol servers nowadays but it took ages

Da es OpenSource ist, kann dies überall auf der Welt in den Communitys festgestellt werden und korrigiert werden. Bei ClosedSource hast Du dagegen keine Chance.

And here is a first try on the snippet for open vs. closed source. Honestly, it doesn't look as good, as the first one. Maybe because, the flag colors are missing?

Any other ideas?

And #Bluesky is a lovely forum to test the code.

I'll chat if anyone wants, but the basic fact is: we conduct secure online transactions all the time, confidently, and almost all the code is FOSS (or GPL et al). All the flaws are already solved, #closedsource is the only insecurity.

I have already similar information on spending for #opensource vs #closedsource by German government: https://mdb.anke.domscheit-berg.de/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-11-Analyse-KA-OSS.pdf

I'm curious if there is something similar on EU level (public or private).

Attached: 1 image Asking for a friend: Do you know any scientific evidence that #OpenSource and #OpenResearchSoftware lead to more software innovation and/or scientific evidence than #ClosedSource? Common sense (transparency, reproducibility..) is clear. But there are certainly studies that have also dealt with this scientifically. Recommendations?
