You cannot say a software is only #OpenSource but not #FreeSoftware in practically almost all cases.

Software that qualifies as Open Source but not Free Software is possible, but such licenses are used only by a tiny negligible number of software.

So what is the difference? The choice of term reflects your motivations and priorities.

So if you care about Free Software philosophy, just ask people to use the term Free Software.

Don't call any Software or license as Open Source only.

Be the bullshit you want to see in the world.

Autistic people have a different way of understanding and engaging with the world.

The DSM describes our interests as 'abnormal in intensity or focus'.

And studies have described a 'weak central coherence' (meaning a tendency to focus on details, rather than the bigger picture - which puzzles me as how, then, are we such good pattern-spotters? Surely that requires ‘seeing the bigger picture’?).

But… what if our 'different ways' in these areas have been chronically misobserved and misread?

How did it come to be that services and corresponding apps like calendar and email push a lot of state management down to the user?

It’s a lot quieter, so feel free to contribute or… it stays quiet :)

Lemmy is only one part of the Fediverse, Mastodon is there as well

look around and enjoy

Welcome :)

Yeah, welcome. You captured the vibe perfect 👌

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

But there are some jarring disconnects. Ship weapons can't damage on-foot enemies. Fire the biggest laser on your ship at a hanger full of killbots and they are completely unaffected. And ship upgrades are attached to the player that found them, creating consternation among my friends that whenever I miss a session the ship is missing a railgun.

What are your usual corners?

Dark, wet and sticky
