I would like to know if the Free Software Foundation has published any critique or analysis of closed source AI models?

Is there an “official” open source AI modeling protocol that meets the Free Software Foundation's approval?

Hello everyone! I would like to share mu open-source project. This start when i try to find a screen clicker and keyboard remap.

For screen clicker, at what i find and use is a screen clicker from Murgee. But it's not free and after the trial end i am not using it again.

For keyboard remap, i want to find a keyboard remap that can have a profile or some sort of save so i just need to activate that profile when i need to use that remap and don't need to set the remap again when i need another thing to remap. For example, my shift is broke so i remap alt to shift. Then i want to play game and it need the alt, so i change the remap and after i play the game i need to change the remap back to alt to shift again. This is time consuming so i want a keyboard remap that has profile to make it easy. I use Powertoys at first, and as far as i know it cant do that and it also comes packaged with other tool make take some space while what i want is just the keyboard remap.

In the end, i find AutoHotkey and it can do the job. But it require to code to use it. So i made a software that can simplify all of that because i have some coding skills why not make it myself. Finally my software can solve all my problem. Then i decide to share it and make it free because of what i experienced before. And it got a good response so i decided to develop it more.

Anyways, here is my software link if you interested on it: https://keytik.com . It's a software to customize your keyboard or mouse and take full control over how it behave.

To put it simply, it has auto clicker, screen clicker, keyboard remap with additional feature to assign them on specific keyboard, mouse or programs, run on startup, multiple profile, run and exit, edit, copy, delete, store each profile. The auto clicker, screen clicker is comes with download but you can still delete it if you want it.

The keyboard remap can remap a single key or shortcut (key combination) to a single key, shortcut or text. For example: pressing F9 or 'ctrl+1' will automatically type 'Thank you for your question' or type '!' or simulate 'ctrl+c'.

Thank you to hear my story, i hope you can find it useful!

Hi everyone,

I released a stable version of my tool for PC!

I invite you to try it or test it.

This tool may be useful for you :

This software allows you to automatically schedule the actions you would perform on your PC.

This means that it will simulate mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, opening files and applications, and much more, without needing your interaction.

The sequence of actions can be executed in a loop.

Available for free on the Microsoft Store: Scheduled PC Tasks

It is open source ^^ (C++ using Qt6) :

Hi, everyone. I'm glad to release a new version of TilBuci, a software I've been working on to create interactive content. It is available from the software repository:

https://github.com/lucasjunqueira-var/tilbuci/releases/tag/v8

From this version on the license was changed from a custom "MIT-like" one to the MPL 2.0. If you're interested in checking out TilBuci, please access the website: https://tilbuci.com.br/

Hello, and very good to everyone, I need help to be able to run the Sprout About app in Colombia, since I moved a few months ago and with this iPhone app it had been useful to be able to manage my streams with my children, I changed my region since there were applications from here that were not working or showing in the Apple Appstore, therefore I looked for alternatives, but nothing that helped me with it. Is there a way to be able to run this app from Colombia?

I'm searching for a license, for a software that can be also used as a (self-hosted) service (providing also web application / portal).

I'd like it to be copyleft with network protection, for the software itself and the functionality it offers.

The network protection should cover also (API) wrappers of the service, where functionality provided by the wrapper is in the "spirit" of what the base service "storage with fancy features" offers, but with extended features. I.e. the network users use the API wrapper to use the "storage with fancy features", and they should receive the source-code for the API wrapper, too.

The network protection shouldn't cover other software, that uses the service as a dependency. For example, the e-commerce software could use it as a storage for materials. The "spirit" and purpose of e-commerce software is very different to the service, which is just a "storage with fancy features". For customers (users) of the e-commerce software, it's the storage completely indifferent thing, because it's irrelevant whether the materials get fetched from S3/FTP/whatever-else or this AGPL licensed "storage with fancy features".

I see, there's MinIO, that's licensed under AGPL. And, I found other ones in the past.

It is my understanding, that AGPL works as I described above. However, I'm a bit of worried about this, if I'm correct in my understanding, as it's bit bigger work and I don't want to cut-off the second use-case. And, in the case of contributions, if there were any contributions, the re-licensing process is quite a complicated thing to perform. So, I'd like to sort it out before publishing sources under some license.

Are there any clear and unambiguous statements and verdicts about this?

And, what about alternatives. What do you think about EUPL for this?

Is there any software compatible with Windows 8.1 where I can choose which applications can access the webcam, and which is password-protected?

My intention is to block my webcam's access to browsers and allow it to access other apps, and the software must be password-protected to prevent from changing the settings or even uninstalling it.

Is this possible? Is there a way to do it?

PS: It's important that it's software, because if it's an extension in the browser, all you have to do is uninstall the extension.

does anyone here using the free app called PDFencrypt? https://pdfencrypt.net/

was trying to verify sha1sum but got a mismatch, tho virustotal result is clear but was wondering if someone is using it here

Hi, Andrus here.

For the past four months I've been working on creating a open-source VPN that almost anyone with access to Linux and MacOS with just a minimal set of technical skills could run on their own: https://supershy.org

It does not have too many bells or whistles attached to it, but it can create VPN for you using sshuttle or it can run as HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy. The main point is to keep your exit IP rotating/fragmented by creating new fresh exit nodes almost as often as you would like. It can also dilute your requests between four different VPS providers (Digital Ocean, Exoscale, Hetzner, Vultr) and 23 different countries. It has a web UI you could use through a browser.

The long-term goal for it is to have back-end service running for it similarly to Mullvad etc. through a non-profit body in a way how Proton or Signal are doing.

I'd love to get your feedback on how to improve it, so whatever thoughts or ideas you might have, I'm all ears.

I recently noticed that a lot of OSS software does not have Unit test coverage. How do you go about writing unit tests?

I’ve been using Apple Notes to journal for several years, it syncs notes across my devices, MacBook, tablet and phone.

Is there a free(dom respecting) alternative that lets us sync our data without l entrusting a megacorp with everything.

I especially wouldn’t want to be contributing to the data they use to train their LLMs.

My question is- is there a software where I can make extended monitor location presets? I have to manually move the screens everytime I raise my desk up and down, thus I have to go into the settings and change it on the computer to represent the layout I’m using.

I have an electronic standing desk under a tv “connected to pc” mounted on the wall, I have two single monitor arms on each side of my desk. When the desk is in sitting position both arms move to the middle under the tv side by side, when desk is up both arms are moved out and a monitor on each side of the tv.

My wife and I want to buy an e-calendar to put in our kitchen, but the market is riddled with products that have subscription services, and I really don't trust these companies to not change their TOS at some point to require a 40+ dollar per year fee to use the product. Are there any FOSS alternatives to these products?
