🚀 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) ->

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

This is not a #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) license.

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.

Little Bits: Issue #22 for February 2025
Exciting times are ahead, a motivational message and loads of new curated bits found in February 2025 while surfing the Internet for you to enjoy.
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.

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. 🤔
