@lolaodelola #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware maintainers deserve (and need) to be paid, if free software is to be reliably maintained as corporate users demand that it should be.

Dual licensing is one mechanism to do that.

I prefer the use of the #GPL, however, even if it deters corporate use, precisely because of its virality. Yes, corporates MAY use my work -- provided that they share theirs.

I'm working to support RustDesk on OpenUEM🥳 You'll be able to request to open RustDesk client on your remote machine, configure it to use your self-hosted RustDesk Server and have a link to open your RustDesk app from OpenUEM's console #rustdesk #OpenSource

@senficon @RecurringBloatware If this is a market failure, the solution isn’t philanthropy—it’s taxation. Let’s not pretend “pooling” is enough. A Sovereign EU fund should be funded by those who profit most: Big Tech. If OSS is so vital, why should EU taxpayers pay while U.S. firms like Amazon or Microsoft reap the benefits? Let’s stop hiding behind vague industry participation and call for real accountability.

One good feature #Marginalia has is that it tells you before hand about "anti features" of a website.

Like in the attached screenshot, this website has got Tracking, Javascript and Ads.

It also has features to remove results which have got ads or Javascript. These features come very handy in the "modern" world wide web.

I really appreciate the developer's efforts. I hope #FOSS #SearchEngines could one day excel. And I hope support for languages other than English will be added soon enough.

Here's the thing: marginalia-search.com/

I've written two bits for the new #gaming #opensource / #technology site, run by @BobDendry here on #Mastodon

I've got two articles for his online fediverse magazine this week:

An article about RomM's new 4.0.0 release (and Android app for their program!)

An interview and piece on the #GOG launcher, Minigalaxy

I was lucky in that the devs on both projects chatted to me, and helped me with making these two pieces fun!

You can find them both here if you'd like
