While I want more (more done, more aggressive goals, etc), this is good. Kudos to the team for getting there.

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry delete that platform.
Edited: apparently the tweet about "weird" being a slur is a fake and has been debunked, so I am taking it down (see, even I have to check my sources sometimes!) However, I am leaving the post up and replacing the fake tweet with a real one where he calls the word "cis" a slur and whines about how he will punish people who use it.

Open source nonprofits are weird. Why don't they just focus on hiring more developers?
The answer is long and complex, but the short version is that open source nonprofits are weird because they (need to) go beyond tech.
Here is a tale about fiscal status, fundraising, governance and two worlds colliding.
A particular thank you to @al for demystifying the world of nonprofits for me, and @richlitt for sharing his extensive nonprofit experience.

Why are open source nonprofits so weird?
In the open source industry, creating an American nonprofit to serve and fund a project is not uncommon. These structures can choose a fiscal status depending on their needs within a wide range defined by the IRS.ergaster.org

Does AI entice people to buy?
No. No it does not. People are less likely to buy things when AI is a part of the product description.

Fujifilm X100V / X100VI 1:1 Scale Toy Model by christianselig
One of the kids next door really liked my X100VI and was sad when I had to go so I made a little 3D replica of the camera that he could play with. Bonus is that it's a lot less expensive if a kid happens to be rough with it, haha.buff.ly
For example if you google an Orbit 20 Reader versus a Brailliant BI20 you'll see some have keys at the front, some don't. Really hard to get a feel for something without ... well. having a feel, I guess. Thanks for the info!

Not sure if it's entirely open Source, though. And I think it costs money if you get it via Google Play Store.

My MR which implements a new image mounting dialog for #GNOME Disks in #Rust has been merged 🎉
The new dialog allows not only to mount and view disk images, but also to edit, inspect, write or, if the disk image is already mounted, unmount it.

Upgraded from 115 to 128 and partially read threads with new messages are marked with few green dots. Like "Upcoming libpkgconf soname bump in Rawhide" thread on screenshot. For me it is barely visible.
