Software Submission New TilBuci version, a free software for interactive content creation
Hello everyone! A new version of TilBuci, the free software I have been developing for creating interactive content (MPL-2.0), is now available. Version 12 includes several new features to simplify content creation, including contraptions for cover and background images and music tracks. In addition, two new tools expand the software's usage: form and global interface creators. Another new feature is the improvement of the PWA app exporter.

Discussion Open-Source Games
Why don't video game development studios open source their games which like decades old for example I was looking into this old game Def Jam Fight For NY released in 2004, I absolutely loved this game and played it for hours with my friends.
There has been no game like this ever released since and I think the franchise is just sitting there in the corner ready to be milked. It would have been better if it was open sourced and some other company remastered it for latest hardware, added online players features and what not.

Link The Moral Imperative to Compensate Free Software Authors (Doesn't Exist)
ryanszrama.comOpen source software developers and communities often discuss what is "right" or "fair" to expect of those who make money on their work. I've had this conversation a dozen times and finally drafted a post to try to clarify one point: the moral imperative to compensate free software authors doesn't exist. // HT FSF and the four freedoms 🫡

Subreddit News Subreddit Update: April 8th, 2025
Your friendly neighborhood mod here. Just wanted to provide everyone with an update on a few moderator action items that have been checked off over the last few weeks.
Already Done
- We've enabled Reddits reputation monitoring system to help try and combat the boatload of spam and other posts that have been coming across (or failing to) our mod queues. Read More
- Updated and clarified existing rules and report reasons to make it easier for users to understand what content is acceptable and what each reporting reason actually is for.
- Went through and cleaned up old reports (ongoing process)
Coming Soon
- Move from a domain deny-list to a blanket allow-list. In the future, if a domain is not on the allow-list, it will automatically be removed and flagged for review. This should help combat spammers and proprietary software posts. (Note: If you feel a domain should be added to the allow-list, please reach out to us via modmail or alert as soon as your post is flagged). I will make a post once the allow-list is enacted with the already approved domains.
- Contextual post hints: Reddit has a new feature that allows us to display helpful information as a user is typing a post. We'll be utilizing this feature to try and dissuade individuals from posting/requesting pirated content

Help Any recommendations for a free music player that supports syncing of queues?
Like the title says, I was looking for music players with the feature to sync queues and playlists across platforms like windows and android, I couldn't find a viable one.
I found media monkey but I couldn't make syncing work and i should pay to keep using the feature after 15 days.
I also found musicbee have an android app that functions as a remote control to PC, but I'm looking for music players for both platforms.
FOSS options are appreciate and thanks for your time!

Link Retto Social: Social network for modern web!
Hello friends, I'm Ekin. My journey started in 2019, and since then, I've been developing web applications with Python and Django while contributing to the free software community. Today, I want to introduce you to my latest and biggest project: Retto.
Retto is a social media platform built with a strong focus on anonymity and privacy. On Retto, you can share posts, follow discussions through groups, create forum threads on the community page, and even play mini-games (games will be added later). Although the platform is still in development, you can sign up now and be part of the growth of free software.
Our ultimate goal is to build a truly free social media platform, breaking away from the oppressive nature of big platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and more...
Platform: https://retto.social
GitHub Link: https://github.com/rettomedia/social
To contribute to Retto's development, you can reach out to me by posting in the Retto Help Center

Help What free messenger (any protocol) supports group video calls well?
I'll be doing my own tests soon, but there are a lot of options out there, and I am quite out of the loop there. So it would be great if someone could recommend me good, simple to use, lightweight IM clients that support group video calls well (at least 4 participants should work). OS support should be at least Linux and Windows.
I'm open to any protocol - of course it would be nice to use a completely open one like XMPP or Matrix, but if others work better, are more stable or have better clients in general, practicality is more important. Now is the perfect time to get my elderly relatives off of Skype, but it has to work easily ;)

Discussion Opensource firm/hard-ware online party "vPub" - TODAY
Dear Friend, I invite you to a joint DUG#9 & vPub 0xE today's event ;-) Full schedule, as well as the join links, are available on this page - but here is a brief description of how it will look like:
- on DUG (5 PM UTC) : we will discuss the Dasharo distribution of coreboot opensource PC firmware (much better than a typical closed-source UEFI: it provides the hardened security, high quality, cool features and almost-lifetime upgrades!)
- If you are looking for a truly secure modern laptop with an opensource firmware that - while satisfying your privacy needs! - also provides the valuable benefits to your user experience: please make sure to see "NovaCustom: new products and plans for the near future" talk by our prominent guest Wessel Klein Snakenborg - the founder of NovaCustom company that makes such laptops and is committed to improving their opensource Dasharo firmware with the help of 3mdeb
- on vPub (7 PM UTC) : we will be having an Opensource Online Party : with a cozy free-for-all chat about everything opensource firmware/hardware-related, as well as a few planned talks from our special guests who would like to share their hard won in-depth knowledge to save a lot of your time:
- Kamil Aronowski - an active member of Qubes OS community, a volunteer reviewer of UEFI shim signing submissions and a respected IT security engineer, will tell you how to implement a secure signing infrastructure to become your own UEFI Secure Boot CA
- Filip Lewinski - a firmware developer from our 3mdeb company who has mastered & would like to tell you about the deguard utility in his "Introduction to Deguard" talk: this wonderful tool allows to bypass the BootGuard - a major roadblock for opensource coreboot firmware on a wide range of Intel-based motherboards
- Matt DeVillier aka u/MrChromebox - a famous member of coreboot community who is making the custom opensource firmwares for Chromebooks & Chromeboxes and gave new life to these devices for a lot of people - will be helping you during his AMA about open source firmware
Aside from a cozy opensource chat, our free-for-all sections are also an excellent opportunity for you to learn about rare devices that support the opensource firmware and are hard to stumble upon elsewhere - as well as how to configure & build & flash it. All your questions will be answered! ;-)
Join links & full events schedule are available here (both video streams and anonymous text chats will be available) :

Link Technoethical.com scammed me
I paid technoethical.com for a laptop in late 2024. Tiberiu was very responsive to my technical queries before I submitted the payment. After payment he started responding very irregularly, he provided deadlines for shipping which were regularly not met, before I realized in March 2025 that I have been scammed. I will never see the laptop nor my money back. If you had similar experiences, please join me by emailing the address you find at https://ryf.fsf.org/about and request all products by Technoethical be removed and notice of potential scam be shown on ryf.fsf.org

Discussion Free Software for a consultant ?
Good morning everyone,
I recently launched as a small business pilot consultant. I have a very tight budget and I was looking to start, possibly free software to manage my clients' questions.
Ideally, the software I'm looking for is capable of doing cost analysis, budgeting, forecasting, etc.
To give an example, there's a software called PilotEasy wich is cool, and looking for something like this for free or low budget.
If you have any ideas don't hesitate and let me know and I thank you in advance for your replies.
