Maybe you should have a look in Kotlin Multiplaform or Compose Multiplatform. However they rely on low-level layers, so you won’t be able to use SwiftUI maybe. Such cross-platform frameworks won’t be able to use directly system UI frameworks at least for iOS due to compilation limitations.

14·4 months agoYou can delete a release. But you can’t change the associated tag and the attached artefacts.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•We need to talk about your Github addiction
5·5 months agoDo you have some comparison documentation or benchmark to share comparing for example GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut and Codeberg?
I did not succeed in finding something comparing these forges about: -CI/CD
- runners
- issues
- project management
- wiki
- releases management
- third-party tools
I am used to GirHub and GitLab but not Codebeg 🤔

Privacy@programming.dev•KeepassXC-compatible password manager that supports passkeys on mobile?
3·6 months agoIf you use iOS Strongbox does support passkeys.
Yup, I meant Mozilla Public License
Yes indeed the Apple App Store is not compatible with GNU GPL v3 licence. Maybe
MOLMPLcan suits your needs.However plenty of open source apps under GPL v3 or AGPL v3 are available on the App Store and Apple does not care.
For example:
- https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp (Mastodon client)
- https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem (Lemmy client)
- https://github.com/CovidTrackerFr/vitemadose-ios (COVID vaccines app)

Opensource@programming.dev•libxml2 maintainer ends embargoed vulnerability reports, citing unsustainable burden
2·8 months agoSo abandon open source and move to “post open source” or ethical source might be a (sad) solution.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Dad convinced me to stay with iPhone
31·8 months agoIt is complicated. He says true. And maybe your need to use GrapheneOS is relevant. If you have a smartphone without cellular connection, for a daily usage, FMPOV it is a non-sense in case of emergency. It is a risk you will have to take, I can’t disagree your dad. And what about your solution but with a SIM card with very few data and SMS available, through a SIM card you can keep aside your phone and insert when needed?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Activism through open source.
8·9 months agoDid you have a look on ethical licenses? For example, Coraline Ada Hemke who created the Contributor Covenant (famous code of conduct) started few years ago the Organisation for Ethical Source promoting “ethical” licenses defined by seven principles.
So in fact this third family of licenses is not open source nor free (as defined by OSI and FSF), nevertheless I feel some needs or willings in your side to go, let’s say, “one step further”.
In ethical licenses you can find for example 999 ICU, ACAB, Anti-Capitalist, Peer Production, Hippocratic or some BSD 3-Clause variants about nuclear topics.
You can also have a look on that slidedeck (in French, sorry).

Opensource@programming.dev•Which collaborative localization service would you recommend?
2·9 months agoI do not know if the solutions I listed below are open source ; however as an open source contributor I am used to work with some tools depending to choice of the projects:
About credits, I don’t think these tools exposes in some automated way the contributors identities. However, nothing prevents you to use these web UI tools to find who contributed and list people for example in your CONTRIBUTORS files. Another way could be to edit the automated commits these tools submit to your Git repos by adding credits to the translators (with for example Co-authored-by field).
Did you have a look on Cake Wallet app? Open source under MIT license and available on F-Droid.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there still no open source alternative to replacing Google Play Services?
6·9 months agoAn app? Nope. For notifications, there is open source alternatives to Google and Apple services but it is used in the apps side, not users side. Have a look on microG and Open GApps to flash in your Android device; it might help you.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Petition Attempts to Force OSI to Release Complete Vote Count
14·10 months agoIt seems the “radical” organisations like the FSF or the OES were right and more legitimate in the end.

















WebRTC is a protocol, you can use it in both web apps and mobile apps.
If I remember well it was used as a trick from Facebook to leak personal data using the SDP.
