Users and developers can inspect the code, ensuring there are no hidden vulnerabilities, backdoors, or malicious practices. This transparency also helps developers develop new software for the OS. Open-source projects benefit from worldwide contributions, quick bug fixes, and a level of trust that proprietary software struggles to achieve. Windows, as a proprietary OS, lacks this level of openness. While Microsoft has taken steps to open-source some tools and components, such as .NET and Visual Studio Code, making Windows more open would be a welcome move. An open-source Windows could also result in faster and better innovations and improved software quality.

himself! Welcome to Destination Linux, where we discuss the latest news, hot topics, gaming, mobile, and all things Open Source & Linux. We will also be discussing Raspberry Pi’s latest hardware release and some pretty gnarly phishing scams. Now let’s get this show on the road toward Destination Linux! /blockquote> * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Destination_Linux_404:_GNU/Linux_6.13,_New_Gnarly Phishing_Scam,_AMD_dedicates_more_to_Linux,_Raspberry_Pi_16GB⠀⇛ * ⚓ Late_Night_Linux_–_Episode_318⠀⇛ We get angry about a new decentralised social control media initiative that seems to ignore the Fediverse, and explain why foldable phones are cool but not the future. Then stitching photos together, analysing applications at the system call level, and an Innertune fork that breaks less often in Discoveries. * ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_295:_Wine_10,_SDL_3,_AMD_dedicates more_to_Linux,_Intel’s_Modular_PCs_&_more_GNU/Linux_news⠀⇛ This week in [GNU/]Linux was kind of insane . . . in a good way because the Wine Project hit the big 1-0 with Wine 10. AMD announced something called the AMDGPU Composition Stack and it has a ton of potential for positively impacting the GNU/Linux desktop. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 353 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/28/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/28/Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Best Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jan 28, 2025, updated Jan 28, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Password⦈_ * ⚓ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to_Apple_Passwords_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Apple Passwords is a password manager application which lets users store and access encrypted account information. Passwords is proprietary software. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives for Linux. * ⚓ asciit_-_compact_ASCII_table_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ asciit is a more compact and intuitive ASCII table highlighting digits and letters. It’s an alternative to man 7 ascii and ascii. Colored numbers and letters are much more easier to find. The table style is inspired by hexyl This is free and open source software. * ⚓ spigot_-_command-line_exact_real_calculator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Also, spigot is ‘streaming’ in the sense that if you tell it to do computations on a number you’ve previously stored in a file (perhaps to very high precision) or a number it’s reading from a pipe, then it will begin producing output as soon as it’s read enough of the input to know how the output starts. The downside is that spigot is very slow compared to the usual kind of computer arithmetic. But it can be useful if you really need a lot of digits for some reason (e.g. a large number of digits of mathematical constants are sometimes incorporated into cryptographic algorithms), or as a cross-check on other calculating systems. * ⚓ snip_-_CLI_snippets_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ snip is a simple snippet manager for bash, which allows the user to save useful and important bash code snippets directly from the bash prompt. It is especially useful to save long one-liners, or rarely used commands which we tend to forget. snip is written in pure bash, but uses FZF to allow the user to perform searches on the snippet database. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ rkvm_-_virtual_KVM_switch_for_Linux_machines_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ rkvm is a tool for sharing keyboard and mouse across multiple Linux machines. It is based on a client/server architecture, where server is the machine controlling mouse and keyboard and relays events (mouse move, key presses, …) to clients. Switching between different clients is done by a configurable keyboard shortcut. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ cheatshh_-_CLI_tool_to_store_commands_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Bookmarking let’s you save your command in the main preview despite them being present in a group. You can bookmark a command by pressing Enter and selecting Bookmark. Now you don’t need to find it in a group and access it in the main preview. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ matrix-commander_-_simple_CLI-based_Matrix_client_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ This simple Matrix client allows you to send and receive messages and files, verify other devices, and interact with your Matrix account or other Matrix users in many ways. You use it from the terminal (CLI) or integrate it into other simple Python programs. This is free and open source software. Another One: * ⚓ USBGuard_-_framework_for_implementing_USB_device_authorization_policies -_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ The USBGuard daemon decides which USB device to authorize based on a policy defined by a set of rules. When an USB device is inserted into the system, the daemon scans the existing rules sequentially and when a matching rule is found, it either authorizes (allows), deauthorizes (blocks) or removes (rejects) the device, based on the rule target. If no matching rule is found, the decision is based on an implicit default target. This implicit default is to block the device until a decision is made by the user. Currently, USBGuard works only on Linux. To enforce the user- defined policy, it uses the USB device authorization feature implemented in the Linux kernel since 2007.

Test driven development promotes a practice where you can repeat yourself temporarily to make the tests pass, and then you refactor to get rid of the repetition. The idea is that repetition can be used to make the individual steps smaller and easier. And you very well may need to see repetition before you can be confident about the best way to eliminate it. Again: repetition as a design pressure. Oh, there but there's also another exception, a fundamental one I can't easily eliminate 1: if I name something in code (a variable, a function, a class, etc) I need to have a way to refer back to it. I do this by using its name. So I'm repeating that name. * ⚓ Keith Harrison ☛ SwiftUI_Button_Image_When_Pressed⠀⇛ A UIKit control like a UIButton has a default normal state and additional states that indicate if it’s highlighted, disabled, selected or focused. You can provide different configurations for each state. You can configure the button to show a different image, title, or background when the user touches (highlights) it. That provides a useful visual feedback to the user. A SwiftUI button lacks a lot of the UIKit customizations. I’ve written about SwiftUI button styles and shapes before. The ButtonStyleConfiguration gives you access to the button label, isPressed state, and button role (cancel or destructive). * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-01-24_[Older]_OTOBO_supports_the_German_Perl Workshop⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-01-24_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(176)_|_2025-01-16⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-01-24_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(177)_|_2025-01-23⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-01-22_[Older]_Premium_XS_Integration,_Pt_1⠀⇛ o ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-01-20_[Older]_Announce_Perl.Wiki.html_V_1.22⠀⇛ o ⚓ [Repeat] Ruben Schade ☛ Thinking_aloud_about_self-hosted_photo sharing⠀⇛ Fun aside, my first ever Perl CGI script wasn’t for powering this blog, it was for a photo sharing page that resembled Web 2.0 Flickr.

With the increasing complexity of IT environments, manual processes are prone to errors and inefficiencies. Ansible Automation Platform enables organizations to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows and provide consistency across their IT infrastructure. These benefits not only boost productivity, but also enable IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives that increase innovation and business growth. As AI solutions become part of everyday business processes, it's more important than ever for IT infrastructure to maintain high resiliency and reliability. For example, if AI assistant bots are part of the support lifecycle, and are managing tier 1 and tier 2 support cases, what would happen if there was an IT outage?

In spite of being free, GIMP is a professional-grade tool riddled with tons of awesome features, making it a worthy competitor to Photoshop. It is capable of handling almost all your basic to intermediate image editing needs with a breeze. Now, being a Free and Open Source (FOSS) tool, GIMP is native to almost all Linux distros and usually comes installed by default. If not, you can install it from the distro's official software store.

That's part of the beauty of Linux -- it's not only flexible, reliable, and secure, but it's also perfectly capable of performing like a champ on machines that modern Windows iterations would cripple. One such distribution is WattOS. This no-frills, lightweight desktop operating system will feel immediately familiar to you and will make that ten-year-old computer feel brand new again.

It is emulation all the way down instead of as a last resort for compatibility. The other quirk is the flora of instruction sets to emulate and the subset selection heuristics. These are downplayed as ‘just text’ but everything that touches American Standard Code for Information Interchange are raw instructions for this machine. Programs for it are everywhere and most of them transform or expand the code, without being treated with the same scrutiny as one would for other code generators such as compilers. * ⚓ Paweł Grzybek ☛ The_old_CSS_attr()_with_new_featuress⠀⇛ The CSS attr() function retrieves a value from an HTML element’s attribute.

I thought that was an interesting idea and decided to implement a form of it on my own site. Here's how I went about it. * ⚓ Sergio_Talens-Oliag:_Running_a_Debian_Sid_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Although I am a Debian Developer (not very active, BTW) I am using Ubuntu LTS (right now version 24.04.1) on my main machine; it is my work laptop and I was told to keep using Ubuntu on it when it was assigned to me, although I don’t believe it is really necessary or justified (I don’t need support, I don’t provide support to others and I usually test my shell scripts on multiple systems if needed anyway). * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_UNetbootin_on_openSUSE⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install UNetbootin on openSUSE.

As open communities continue to imagine, design, and build digital public goods and public infrastructure services for education, science, and culture, these goods and services – whenever possible and appropriate – should produce, share, and/or build upon open data. # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ UMSI_project_helps_community librarians_create_civic_solutions⠀⇛ Funded by a $384,133 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Civic Librarian Project is an open-access, six- module course designed to help librarians create resident-centered solutions and partner effectively with local governments.
