On this day 12 years ago, Dexter, our family dog, died. A schnoodle weighing about 25 pounds, he wasn't my favorite dog we had over the years, to say the least.
He was 13, and by then, had quite a lot of issues.
Back then, I was spending about half my time in North Carolina and the other half in New York (I hadn't yet moved here).
I left for NYC probably about a month prior, figuring this would be the last time I would see him, and I was right.
He didn't do that much for me. I was a lot more sad for Mom when he passed than I was about the actual dog, but I will most definitely not have that kind of reaction when Watson, current silly little family dog, makes his way across the Rainbow Bridge, whenever that happens. He's almost 13 now.

@SnowyCA it's excruciating. But a lot of "don't". I also mention that maybe there are other priorities that it's not sustainable, unethical, etc. Why not supporting Canadians. etc. Also reiterate that their questions are loaded.
I 100% believe they won't like them.

The silence from software projects about @frameworkcomputer supporting #fascism is speaking volumes.
Does @jorge of #bluefin, the @bazzite_gg #bazzite team, @fedora #fedora or @ubuntu #ubuntu have anything to say about this?
It's not going away. Framework is actively promoting you as part of their big #nazi embracing tent.
You on board? Is the free hardware worth supporting fascists?
So far @ariadne of @alpinelinux #alpine has demonstrated their ethics & willingness to protect the community.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too
It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund!
Many people and companies contribute to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that.
General maintenance is one of the most fundamental jobs in an open source project, but is one of the hardest to get paid for. Adding new features gets you promoted; keeping the lights on does not.
But everything depends on it. Code needs reviews, cleanups, docs. New contributors need mentors, etc.
A significant number of Rust maintainers who got paid for that have lost or quit their job recently. Due to RTO policies, a shift in responsibilities, budget cuts, and/or burnout. This is already quite noticable in the Rust project: longer review queues and more technical debt. This is a problem.
Through RustNL, the non-profit foundation behind the largest Rust conference (RustWeek) and the Rust Project's All Hands, we are setting up a fund to provide stable jobs for Rust maintainers. We want to employ six full-time maintainers in 2026.
Additionally, we'll provide internships and mentorship, to help retain promising new contributors. Not only do we need to make sure the current generation of maintainers doesn't burn out, we need to work on the next generation of maintainers too.
What we need now is companies who rely on Rust to step up and contribute financially. Having your business rely on the work of unpaid volunteers is not sustainable in the long term. It's a risk.
And if your company contributes to Rust, keeping the project well-maintained will accelerate your work.
Over the last few months, we have spoken to the Rust Foundation and several big companies about our plans. The input we've received and the positive reactions so far makes us believe we can make this happen. Today, we are publishing our plans for a wider audience, in search for the required funding.
If your company is interested in funding Rust maintainers, please reach out to me or @erikjee!
You can find our sponsors prospectus here: rustnl.org/resources/Rust-Main…
Let me know if you want to talk! 💛

well I guess that's a lie because I tried to build Eclipse against JDK17 and it says
[ERROR] ========================: Type org.eclipse.tycho.core.maven.TargetPlatformWorkspaceReader not present: org/eclipse/tycho/core/maven/TargetPlatformWorkspaceReader has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0
About to go to bed, so avoiding to look it up, but if anyone here knows:
Why did Classic MacOS have so many typedefs that were variations of Str255? Like ConstStr255Param ?
Was that just a workaround to deal with Pascal generating different code for these under the hood?
