Awesome code.gouv.fr is referenced in the EU FLOSS Catalogue, making it easier for any country to reuse these French #FreeSoftware #OpenSource solutions.
Thank you 🇪🇺
I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

After about a month of researching, documenting, and writing, this piece is out. Out of my brain, out of my soul.
Knowledge hurts sometimes. Acting consciously is so empowering though, and liberating.
Thanks @Ullilust and @Xeniax for allowing me to include your images and words.

Little Bits: Issue #23 For March 2025
A mountain of bits (links) awaits in exploration along with a message to remember to enjoy and be gracious to ourselves with intention.
Desde hace un par de días, @phanpy hace que las barras superior e inferior se muestren con esos colores en Android 14, utilizándolo como aplicación progresiva (pwa) en Firefox, cuando hasta ahora,vdichas barras, respetaban el tema negro elegido. ¿Algún fallo en la interface, que hace que Android las muestre así, @cheeaun?.
He probado con otros teléfonos con Android 12 y Android 11 y ocurre lo mismo. 🤔

Hello again, World! An #Introduction
I'm JBQ, 50-ish, he/him, French-born, currently moving from Spokane, WA, USA to Preveza, Greece.
I have worked on operating systems, browsers, SDKs, and similar tech, mostly for mobile. Most visibly, I managed the Open-Source aspects of Android from 2009 (1.6) to 2013 (4.3).
I am currently active in the Atari ST #OpenSource #DemoScene, as Djaybee from the MegaBuSTers.
My strongest languages are C and assembly (especially 68k). I've touched many more.
My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 2 - Shrunken PCBs
https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-2-hardware/
The VanSpoof PCB has to be no bigger than 31.5 mm by 21.5 mm to fit. Unfortunately, Molex's SMD footprints are quite wide so the board needed a fair bit of layout work to make everything fit.
