In my talks and discussions about the role of Open Source maintainers, I usually list a number of reasons why maintainers might quit or otherwise reduce their involvement.
"The Russian army destroyed my house" hasn't been on that list yet 😐 🇺🇦

In Spain we're having major changes in the rules for the evaluation of research activities (in the public sector, our research merits are evaluated every six years, a "sexenio". #ANECA, the evaluation agency, opened a public consultation about their draft for their new rules, which advance in the consideration of #OpenScience practices, including #FreeSoftware
Here are my contributions to that consultation (in Spanish) https://jgbarah.github.io/Notes/sexenios-comentarios-2023.html

Mainstream social media and messaging apps (#Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Instagram etc) are a nightmare for our personal data and freedoms.
We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.
diasp.in is a community project supported by volunteers. We offer #diaspora, #matrix and #xmpp services.
If we don't find enough volunteers by October 31st, we will be forced to shut it down.

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.
#Privacy #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS #GNOME #Flatpak
I’ve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.
Four and a half years ago, I wrote:
>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.
That’s as true as ever.

Read my colleague @wjt’s post covering the privacy-first system we have built into @EndlessOS, how it fits together, and why it exists.
https://blogs.gnome.org/wjjt/2023/07/05/endless-oss-privacy-preserving-metrics-system/
I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.

With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!
Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.
Software can determine how long a device remains in use.
Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.
Software freedom means hardware freedom.

Because it is completely #FreeSoftware.
Because I don't have to pay for its full version.
Because it is no Cloud stuff.
Because it is fully GDPR-compliant, while MSh*it isn't.
Because it is simpler to use LibreOffice than doing everything in #LaTex.
The #LibreOffice suite is one of my most important tools since my school days. You helped me to reach university.
Hoping to make the list with my first patch which I've just confirmed to be fully operational!
Was looking forward to a smoother all-#FOSS paper writing workflow with @zotero and @libreoffice, am now also looking forward to getting some cool stickers 😎

Just did a simple PR that changed a Ellipsis Char that does not display well on Arch Linux TTY (because it is a newer char), to 3 dots. A simple change.
It was not approved (after much time), although, in all the rest of the source code, 3 dots are used (3 dots is used 26 times in the source code). There is only one instance of the Ellipsis char, and it was this that the PR was changing to 3 dots.

Unfortunately going with "permissive" license is not really being generous: it is giving legal justification to others to use your code to exploit users.
As I personally look at Free Software from the "consumer protection" angle, I don't think the so-called "permissive" licenses are ever a good idea.
