It's RichieFor over two years now I've been working on the revival of a community calendar that was built in the heady days of the sharing economy before Uber and friends extracted every ounce of community goodwill in their thurst for profit.A FOSS self hosted community ecosystem calendar (like say one for the local indie band scene) seems like a natural fit for the fediverse.I've been unpacking some ideas for how this might work in the discussions on the code repo.Would love folks to give it a read and give any feedback.<a href="https://github.com/koalagator/koalagator/discussions/51" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/koalagator/koalagator/discussions/51</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Developers</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDesign</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CommunityCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityCalendar</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Calendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calendar</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Feedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feedback</a>

Edoardo DusiDear devs, we need to have a proper discussion about Open Source, what it means, what we want it to mean, and how it is evolving.The <a href="https://social.opensource.org/@osi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@osi</a> played a critical role in shaping the definition, principles, and approved licenses, as well as advocating for its benefits at a time when they weren't taken for granted, and continues to engage in meaningful discussions with key players to protect the present and future of Open Source.But the definition is not frozen and certainly not simple. They recently wrote an article saying that openness means freedom, and freedom is a binary concept because you either have it or you don't. This oversimplification isn't helpful, it's detrimental to the quality of the conversation, and it's frustrating for the many contributors, companies, and organizations that are trying to balance total openness and sustainability every day.This discussion is especially important today as we define what Open Source means in the context of AI models. The OSI has provided a new definition, but that doesn't mean the discussion is over, the OSI is a voice of authority, but we are developers, we are a community, we need to talk and we need to act together because we all have the same goal and we all share the same principles.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#developers</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a><a href="https://youtu.be/Gl32lwqMi9M?si=Tfex2ldtW3n7uEjR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Gl32lwqMi9M?si=Tfex2ldtW3n7uEjR</a>

OTX BotSlow Pisces Targets Developers With Coding Challenges and Introduces New Customized Python MalwareSlow Pisces, a North Korean state-sponsored threat group, has launched a campaign targeting cryptocurrency developers using LinkedIn recruitment schemes and malicious coding challenges. The group impersonates recruiters, sending benign PDFs with job descriptions followed by coding tasks linked to compromised GitHub repositories. These repositories contain malware disguised as legitimate projects, using techniques like YAML deserialization and EJS rendering to execute malicious code. The campaign introduces new malware named RN Loader and RN Stealer, which gather victim information and potentially establish persistent access. This sophisticated approach has reportedly led to over $1 billion in cryptocurrency theft in 2023 alone.Pulse ID: 67fce4dbd05e59dcedb21adc Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/67fce4dbd05e59dcedb21adc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/67fce4dbd05e59dcedb21adc</a> Pulse Author: AlienVault Created: 2025-04-14 10:35:07Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.
