Heading to London for State of Open Con ‘25. Last year was my first. I enjoyed it so much, I’m part of the volunteer crew again. Looking forward to seeing friends, old and new.

Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU

🚀 Hello everyone!
We are working on something pretty exciting. We want to bring Pixelix to Apple devices! Exactly the same app with same functionality, same design and running natively on iOS (Made possible by Kotlin Multiplatform for those who know).
But for that we need to buy at least one MacBook. 💻 (2/4) ->

Good morning! We are streaming a selected list of rooms from FOSDEM to the Fediverse again! Here are the playlists:

The streams start at 9 am CET.
Very good talk at #fosdem by @jejb
We (open-source developers) are now in a position to decide. If you work in an organization that decides to change direction, this matters to you and your open source project.
This is why CLAs are often used as a coercive tool, not only against contributors, but also against employees of those organizations.
This International Women's Day, we're celebrating a historic milestone in Django’s journey!🚀
For the first time ever, Django has women in every leadership position within the project.
"Your #privacy is our priority. With that message has #WhatsApp last week sent all its users a message" (translated from Dutch from an article in De Telegraaf, a large newspaper in the Netherlands)
There is too much gossip about WhatsApp according topman Will Cathcart.
"#Signal is very cool: the number of new subscriptions in the Netherlands is this year 25 times as high as before"
WhatsApp is closed source. Do you trust #Meta? Signal is #opensource.
Let me take you #linux people on a little journey. Right now, there is a war. A war between those who fear the future of #nix and #NixOS and those who are apparently not getting the point.
To call something #opensource can mean so much nowadays. When it comes to the idea of an enterprise nixpkgs vs the open source or "community" #nixpkgs, I think it's time to make it clear:
#DeterminateSystems wants to have it's own #RHEL. Functions are decoupled from nix for a reason.
Our sister organisation the @fsf has published its evaluation of the #Llama 3.1 Community

Blogbeitrag: Die vergangenen Wochen waren sehr aufwühlend. Hass, Missgunst und Meinungsverschiedenheiten kochen hoch und schäumen über. Darum möchte ich mit diesem Artikel daran erinnern, dass wir alle selber aktiv werden können. Es fängt bei uns an. Wir stehen in Europa an einem Scheideweg und wir haben die Chance uns dafür zu entscheiden, welche Welt wir kommenden Generationen übergeben möchten.

Sometimes I get frustrated with my open source choice. Some days I'm like "yeah let's make X work" and others I'm like "I just want to do X and not make X work". I'm sure I'm not alone, but man sometimes... yeesh.

Hallo Fediverse! Ik zoek een nieuwe baan. Na 2 jaar in een een steeds benauwder wordende corporate omgeving gewerkt te hebben begint mijn intrinsieke motivatie een bijzonder laag niveau te bereiken. Help me hieruit!
Dus ben je op zoek naar een goeie Linux engineer, laat het me weten via een DM. CV heb ik bij de hand.
Het liefst werk ik voor een non-profit organisatie of een organisatie met een groot maatschappelijk belang.

#Pipelight typescript issue fixed.
It was a nasty bug that slide in with #deno 2.2.
Fixed by replacing external #UUID library with bultins uuid library.
This type of heartful message is what keeps me sharing my best code with you. ☺

I've been looking for a clean, #NoAI Markdown editor to replace Logseq. Logseq is great but has a lot of bloat that I don't need for simple writing (like my scripts). I tried MarkText and I enjoy it, but I just learned that it hasn't been updated in over a year with little to no activity on their github, which is a concern for security and longevity.
What are you all using for distraction free writing, especially for markdown?

Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.
One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

There was a pretty critical news segment by Nieuwsuur about @landesregierung 's move to open source alternatives. It shows a Higher Court user having issues with LibreOffice vs Microsoft Office, and using a scanner workaround. Also the email migration didn't go without issue.
To someone who has done this migration before; jup sounds familiar. But it's also something that can be solved. We're actually visiting SH next week to learn about their #opensource experience.
