Mission
In today's world, there is barely any task where we don't rely on computing.
Nice Micro believes that everyone should have the freedom to
utilize these technologies without chaining themselves to big corporations.
This is why Nice Micro always tries to prioritize software
that respects the freedoms that have been found by the Free Software Foundation
to be essential. That is, the user has the right to know what their computer
does, as in, the source code should be open to scrutiny. The user should also
be able to modify the program to their needs.
Most free and open source software also has the advantage of coming free
of charge, making it possible to utilize our computers regardless of one's
financial situation. However, it is important to support those, who make these
software available to us. Nice Micro believes in the
importance of giving back to the community and using a portion of the profits
made using free software to support the developers.
Nice Micro also directly participates in the development of
freedom-respecting software. These include a simple command-line backup utility
called Nmbckp, and OpenSuspect, an open-source social deduction game currently
in development. Their respective source codes are accessible from the following
repositories.
Videos
Free software projects are usually developed by small teams with limited
resources. This means that there is no real marketing and PR campaigns are
out of the budget of many great projects, failing to reach a wide audiance.
Nice Micro creates in depth video guides to popularize
free software solutions and to make these software more approachable for the
interested audience. Nice Micro also publishes opinion
vlogs based on personal experience with free and open source computing.
Nice Micro publishes the videos on the popular video
sites YouTube and LBRY/Odysee. For easier access, the videos on YouTube are
organized in playlists. On the LBRY/Odysee platorm, the main channel contains the
free software and Linux related content, while the second channel is used
to host unrelated opinion vlogs.
Updates are also published through Mastodon for those using ActivityPub
based federated social networks.
Articles
Nice Micro hosts HTML-based articles on the site,
including a blog so those interested in our work can find the newest
information on our projects.
Albeit it is a work in progress, we plan to publish articles to
provide a text-based, searchable medium with links to the relevant
video releases, and to provide accompanying materials for tutorials.
Moreover, a blog is an optimal medium to keep a record of the milestones
and project highlights.
