Software Libero

L’antimafia ed il Software Libero

Posted on by Paolo Redaelli

Le piccole soddisfazioni della vita: andare su sito della prefettura di Monza e Brianza per rinnovare l’iscrizione dell’azienda per cui si lavora alla White List antimafia e notare questa frase

Se non si dispone del pacchetto Office click qui per scaricare il software gratuito Open Office

È già un grosso passo avanti che su siti istituzionali si citi Open Office.

Certo loro guardano solo l’aspetto meramente economico e non hanno coscienza del concetto di Software Libero e delle implicazioni che ha l’uso di programmi liberi e la necessità di poter accedere ai sorgenti e ricostruirne i binari. Un passo alla volta ci arriveremo. Un passo alla volta

Firefox disabled all add-ons because a certificate expired

Oh my! Firefox disabled all add-ons because a certificate expired

Well, only those who do nothing do not make mistakes.

Here’s a quick workaround:

For now, there is at least one workaround, but it only applies if you’re using the Firefox Developer or Nightly build. If you look under “about:config” (if you don’t know what this is, you probably shouldn’t try it) and set the “xpinstall.signatures.required” value to False, then your extensions will start working again.

bmorel / autoRealm — Bitbucket

Posted on by Paolo Redaelli

AutoREALM (bmorel / autoRealm — Bitbucket) is a drawing software mostly oriented to create RPG maps and dungeons, targeting people with no drawing or computer knowledge.

This software were written for windows, in delphi and were not maintained from many years, so I decided to rewrite it with more portable technologies, like C++, openGL and wxWidgets. Because autoREALM had many attempts of rewrite and because they all failed, resulting in undocumented, hard to read code, a real effort is made on that rewrite to keep a very clean base code and a clean architecture. To make things easier to potential contributors, this rewrite also use a plug-in architecture. For more details about features of that soft, please go on the official website of the actual stable version: http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/Please note that this rewrite is on alpha stage and under heavy development

Well, as it allows to make things like this

it’s well worth!
