I had originally asked [in this thread](https://lemmy.ml/post/52789) if we should allow non-copyleft open source projects on this community at all, but I didn't get enough responses to come to a decision, so I will still continue to allow non-copyleft until further notice. Instead, I decided on this as the alternative: When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: "Lemmy: Building a federated alternative to reddit in rust (AGPL-3.0)" It doesn't have to be formatted exactly like that, but please at least include the acronym of the license, and the version number if there is one. At some point, I will start removing new posts that do not follow this rule, but I won't start doing that right now to allow for a transition period. I'm open to feedback on this, comment them below.

Because we can't yet afford hiring employees that work on tasks for a defined amount of time, work naturally has to be distributed over many volunteers with limited time commitment... second problem is a in part technical. Unlike major players, which have nearly unlimited resources available to meet high demand, scaling Codeberg's systems... TLDR: sustainability issues for scaling because Codeberg is a nonprofit with much limited resources, mainly human resources, in face of high demand. Non-paid volunteers do all the work. So needs more people working as volunteers, and needs more money.

I'd like to try Matrix, but I still don't know of a good client. I don't want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried `nheko`, but I didn't like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option). So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.

I am new ,how iI can I share my paintings

I gave them one of my micro office PCs I was using as a server as our living room home theatre PC, because the previous one was Windows Vista which is absolutely not safe to be running connected to the internet anymore, and the new computer (hopefully) managed to get them to stop using the apps on the smart TV both due to my privacy concerns and because they are no longer being updated and don't work that great anymore (thanks for no longer supporting your few years old thousand plus dollar TV Samsung, you planned obsolecense assholes!) This is their first Linux computer in a family that has pretty much been exclusively been using Microsoft operating systems really since they got access to computers. So, pretty big deal that I finally convinced them to give Linux a try. It's running Fedora with KDE Plasma. Here's hoping everything goes well.

I'm in agreement!

Hey everyone, I’ve got a software suggestion for all you hatters of closed gardens. It's basically an all-in-one messenger. It will aggregate multiple messengers on android (whatsapp, facebook messenger, sms, rcs, discord, signal) including imessage! NO MORE GREEN BUBBLES!!! Best part (other than imessage), they're going to keep it free for as long as they can. (at least that’s the vibe I’m getting from the discord server). This app looks so freaking cool! Currently they’ve just got it open to some alpha testers but they will start releasing it to beta list soon. Let me just say, the alpha’s screenshots of imessage are looking very nice. You can use this link to sign up for the beta https://sunbirdapp.com/?r=jVmdy **Update:** Ok everyone, as far as my legitometer is a curate, they've got a ten. I got into the alpha testing and have been successfully sending imessages to people for a couple days now. This is incredibly impressive and I am so looking forward to its completion.

I didn't realize that being a supporter would warrant me *a real paper bulletin!* What a pleasant surprise. Feels way more personal than some pdf file which I wouldn't likely read.

In reaction to the surprise [announcement](https://blog.gitea.io/2022/10/open-source-sustainment-and-the-future-of-gitea/) of the creation of Gitea Ltd and the transfer of domains and trademark to this company, worried members of the Community have written an Open Letter to the elected Owners of the project. The request is to return the assets and manage them by a community-led non-profit organization and furthermore improve the community organization, so that the Trust and Health of the project is restored. The Open Letter can be signed by sending a PR to the [Codeberg repository](https://codeberg.org/SocialCoding/gitea-open-letter).

Aux français⋅es et francophones : est-ce que parmi vous quelqu'un⋅e connaît ou tient une liste de gens qui écrivent de la Fiction et SFFF en licences libres (francophone) ? Comme je pense sérieusement à créer un fanzine "Libre Lore", pour alimenter des cadres de création libres, avec des textes courts ou des extraits d'auteur⋅ices sous licence libre, j'envoie des messages à droite et à gauche. J'ai quelques personnes à contacter mais ça reste très restreint, puisque c'est une pratique très peu répandue, surtout en France...
