AntennaPod is a podcast player that is completely open. The app is open-source and you can subscribe to any RSS feed. AntennaPod is built by volunteers without commercial interest, so it respects your privacy while giving you full control.

Software Freedom Conservancy publish Recommendations When Using LLM-backed Generative AI Systems for FOSS Contributions, which reflect the extremely difficult dilemmas that these systems pose for FOSS contributors.

They are approaching LLM-gen-AI from a variety of perspectives and this is practical assistance to minimize damage caused by using proprietary systems, whether FOSS contributors reject LLM-gen-AI or choose (voluntarily or by employer mandate) to use them.

More Rust, but more trouble with AI slop, too

As an open-source project, AntennaPod doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We rely on a wide ecosystem of tools to keep our project running smoothly. One of those tools is Weblate, the platform where our global community translates AntennaPod into over 40 languages.

In 2022, we began translating our website through Weblate. In 2024, we also moved our app translations to Weblate, to unify our project’s localization on a single open-source platform. As we adapted to the new system, we identified areas in which it could be improved. Today, we’re proud to share how your generous donations helped make Weblate better—not just for AntennaPod, but for everyone.

A friend of mine made a cool calculator and unit converter. It parses natural English phrases like "how many inches are in 3 feet?" and "300 miles / 65 mph in hours and minutes" and "download 10GB 1Gbps". You can access it from web (including PWA), CLI or as a library. It has a strong FOSS philosophy behind it.

Still in beta. Was made aware of it by this video

tubeup uses yt-dlp to download a Youtube video (or any other provider supported by yt-dlp), and then uploads it with all metadata to the Internet Archive using the python module internetarchive. It was designed by the Bibliotheca Anonoma to archive single videos, playlists (see warning below about more than video uploads) or accounts to the Internet Archive.

Prerequisites

This script strongly recommends Linux or some sort of POSIX system (such as macOS), preferably from a rented VPS and not your personal machine or phone.

Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age. The first few releases focused on stability, granting the engine a rock-solid foundation that could be safely and easily iterated upon. Gradually, this has shifted more towards polish and quality-of-life, peaking in Godot 4.6 giving developers the tools to put them and their workflow first.

This brings us to Godot 4.7. With 3 years under its belt, the 4.7 Director’s Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity. HDR output radiates bold and brilliant new hues, allowing your projects to shine like never before. Inject some juice to your UI without breaking a sweat using the new Control offset transforms. Find the plugin that will help push your game even further with the new Asset Store, bask in the ease of creation with standalone Android exporting and publishing, and helm a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision.
