Does anyone know if there is a way for #VLC Media Player to retain #playlist data after closing the program? I had a crash today, and recreating my playlist was hard. I have tried saving to an XSPF playlist file, but these don't update with new entries (they seem to be read-only) If the feature doesn't exist, I am willing to put aside some money to send to VideoLAN to have it as a feature on Linux and other platforms.

💫 Attention ! ✨

I’m excited to announce that I have officially renamed FOSS-UI to LibreUI! 🎉

This rebranding aligns with my commitment to commitment to free software principles and better represents our mission.

Since we still dont have a domain name, the url changes every time i modify it. this is the new link

Continued thread

A subtlety probably difficult to spot in the animation is that the interaction of the two waves leaves them phase shifted, with the taller wave gaining position, while the shorter one loses it. This further animation shows the interactions again (purple) but I’ve also shown what would happen if each wave moved without interaction with the other (red and blue).

New batch to read 📣!
From Flash to Jamstack, @silex the open-source no-code tool for creating static websites, has a fascinating story!

👉 projets-libres.org/en/no-code-

In this new episode, @lexoyo the creator of the project, reveals his unconventional journey, his vision for a more collaborative web, and how he built a viable business model around free software.

We discuss eco-design, training, community, and the challenges of the future.

Happy reading 📖

@EUCommission I would much more like to see all these huge funds and resources be invested into free/libre and opensource software and hardware communities and projects. If any useful, truly AI and truly anything helpful for society is there, this is where it would most likely come from. And it would come out organically and out of real need. Not forcing it at any cost, just because someone has some FOMO.

Unser FSFE-Fachtag „Public Money? Public Code! in der Praxis“ hat einmal mehr gezeigt: Digitale Souveränität gibt es nur mit Freier Software. Es ist an der Zeit, dass sich öffentliche Verwaltungen überall in Europa in Richtung #PublicCode auf den Weg machen!
