📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.
Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.
You can read our Open Letter at: do-not-ship.it
If you agree with this letter, you can support it by signing it, see: do-not-ship.it/sign

I'm supporting @opensourceseeds in their crowdfunding campaign to develop an #OpenSource rye variety.
Why do we need open source seeds?
Over the last few decades seed variety has decreased dramatically due to commercial pressure and most are owned by only a handful of companies.
In many countries (including the EU) small farmers are unable to sell or even pass on heritage seeds without obtaining prohibitively expensive paperwork.

#musl is a lightweight libc.
musl is a lightweight and standards compliant #C standard library implementation. musl uses Linux calls very closely, making it faster than more general standard libraries as better kernel-specific optimizations are made. musl is highly compatible with standards as well as with glibc, allowing for it to serve as a drop in replacement in many cases.

"Clear.Dental is an Open Source Dental EHR Suite that is made for dental practices and made by dental professionals. Most other software was made by software engineers who have no real clinical experience. Clear.Dental is different in that the software is made by a practicing dentist"
the Article sounded good, is has all the necessary Buzzwords about #Freedom with #OpenSource and of course how to Support the Course, until I read at the end about #Patreon. 😒
First you complain about BigDataCompanys and #centralized Systems against #decentralized and after all this you seriously advice Patreon as a way to support. What a cruel Joke?
Why not something like #LibrePay or Alternative? 😉

Hello new followers! I've been bad at hashtags, which are crucial here for discoverability, so here's some of them.
I try to toot interesting things related to #activism about #ClimateChange / #ClimateCrisis / #EarthBreakdown, from the perspective of #degrowth / #ClimateJustice / #sustainability. I'm one tiny part of #ExtinctionRebellion.
I build #FOSS / #OpenSource / #commons and #SmallTech using #rust and will write more about that soon.
