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.

💚 80 let od úmrtí autora Malého prince. Zkuste si kvíz.
(Zřejmě mi je Antoine de Saint-Exupéry něčím blízký, protože jsem drtivou většinu odpovědí jen tipnul 🙂 Měl bych si tuhle knížku po 20 letech znova přečíst.)

I hope that one day Thunderbird will get a way to use colours in message list to show threads with unread messages.

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.

Hail "show only new mails" button on one of many toolbars.

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.

news.wsu.edu/press-release/202…


Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by WSU researchers.

Do you want a Fujifilm X100VI but can't get one? I have the next best thing, the neighbor kid loves playing with my camera but they're fragile so I made him a printable replica that he loves 😛 Handy if you want to play around with the form factor buff.ly/3YwW1jz

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.

If you're even interested in doing/building cool things with computers you owe it to yourself to watch @simon's truly outstanding keynote from @pycon. The fact that it only currently has 3K views is a travesty. Yes folks, it's THAT good :)

Even as someone who's been playing with this stuff for a while, I found several really helpful hints around prompt building and the ethics and ramifications of using this stuff in an actual work context.

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.

Thanks to @tbernard for the design and to @pothos for the review and help.

Wrote up some notes on trying out Aider, a neat open source Python terminal tool for working with codebases on disk via a variety of LLMs simonwillison.net/2024/Jul/31/…
> /ask what does ?exclude.tag= do in the search feature? The ?exclude.tag= parameter in the search feature is used to exclude specific tags from the search results. Here's how it works in the code: 1 The excluded tags are retrieved from the request's GET parameters: excluded_tags = request.GET.getlist("exclude.tag") This line collects all the tags that should be excluded from the search results. The getlist() method is used because there might be multiple excluded tags. 2 These excluded tags are then applied to the queryset for each content type (Entry, Blogmark, Quotation) in the make_queryset() function:

Most of the research behind these incredible models is open. Even folks at Apple share their findings.
Building on this research, I'm developing free and high-quality TTS models using open-source speech datasets.
I already created the cross platform speech engine called "Sonata", and currently training some English voices for it.
Here's a sample of the very first training run.
