If anyone can help, the maintenance burden of this project is starting to weigh on me. I don't want to give it up, but without more help I may have no other option.

#OpenSource




Here's one of the lesser known ancient Chinese sayings. Still worth living by:

~~ Any day can be made better by synthesizing a kick drum with Geonkick. ~~
- Sun Tzu (most likely)

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

And this week's #Linux and #opensource news video is finally here!

In this one, we have confirmation that #Windows 11 sends data to third parties after a fresh install, without user consent, we have @fedora moving to Flathub in their next release, an AI tool that violates #FOSS licenses, @thunderbird sharing a roadmap and some interesting history, and @gnome Software getting some nice performance improvements:

I am so glad patents were a later invention of Humanity.

Had the person who 'invented' fire patented it with our current intellectual property laws and convoluted ways of preserving the rights forever, we would have never left the stone age.

#OpenSource has always been the way of advancing our quality of life.

Our ability to collaborate is our superpower.

#Monocle is #OpenSource eyewear:

"a pocket sized #AR device for the imaginative hacker."

"...tiny heads-up display which clips onto your existing eyewear. It’s packed full of powerful hardware which is perfect for when you’re on the go. It connects to your mobile phone over Bluetooth, and includes a few handy sensors such as touch buttons, camera and microphone. The included FPGA is perfect for #computerVision, #AI or graphics acceleration directly on the device."

I just had whatever the opposite of 'future shock' is - I stumbled upon a telescope proposal from 2001 and I wondered if the #latex would compile - of course it did, and the proposal looked exactly as it should have.

In related news, I wrote my thesis in Word 98 and the next version refused to open one of my chapters for no obvious reason.

Plain text and openly documented image formats are definitely the way to future proof your work.... #astrodon #opensource #openscience #TeXLaTeX


What a conference! Thanks so much to @openuk for inviting me to speak yesterday. Lots of fun on the Sonatype stand today!

Also managed to speak to EM360Tech yesterday on #OpenSource (please ignore the spot on my forehead) 😂

#SOOCon23 #StateOfOpenCon


Curious what #OpenSource & #FreeSoftware advocates propose for building a culture of accessibility in their teams.

Hundreds of companies showed up for #FOSDEM & are at #StateOfOpenCon right now.

As a movement, how do we:
- orient new people to our teams?
- ensure compliance are set up and maintained?
- keep up with best practices for sharing our code/ideas?

#SOOCon23



If you're looking for #privacy, the absolute best option is probably setting up your own #homeserver, but if you don't have the technical know how, the time, or the inclination, the next best thing is a #NAS!

These little things let you store files, photos, host websites, run containers, backup your computers, run office suites, all with simple GUIs, and can be cheaper than cloud storage.

Let's take a look at why you probably need a NAS at home:

Soeben habe ich 20.- CHF sinnvoll ausgegeben; #thunderbird von #mozilla ist auf unsere #Spende angewiesen. Vielleicht kannst ja auch Du mithelfen, dass dieses sinnvolle Projekt in Zukunft weiter existiert:

give.thunderbird.net

#Hilfe #opensource #email

Just now I spent 20.- CHF wisely; thunderbird by mozilla depends on our #donation. Maybe you can #help to keep this useful project going in the future?



VP of Infrastructure @ Google Eric Brewer:

"#OpenSource is critical public infrastructure"

Effective curation is essential & an existential issue if we don't get it right.

Massive thanks to our #opensource policy colleagues, and to our partners at @gloshospitals and Polygeist for really focussing on the real question around #AI: what it means to use it properly in order to improve patient experience.

Speaking of the #stateofopencon , I will be giving a talk this afternoon. The talk is the supervillain guide on how to destroy an #opensource community. While for most people, I would strongly dissuade you from following the plays, if you are a budding supervillain, the content will be educational.
