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.

After several months of hard work, it's a good feeling to be able to say our @fdroidorg board of directors is officially chartered and running, and finally with an official legal entity through Dutch stichting (foundation) Commons Conservancy.💚 Very humbled to be able to serve in this inaugural group of talented volunteers, and even more excited about helping #FDroid into the future.

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.

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
Hopefully the transition will be relatively seamless, but please let us know if you have any issues.

I'm a #blind guy from 🇬🇧 with a passion for #technology and #programming, particularly #lowLevel #systemsProgramming in #C, #C++, #Rust, etc.
I've been a huge #freeSoftware / #openSource advocate for the majority of my life. I run #Linux and I love open, #decentralised technologies like #ActivityPub, #Matrix, #bitTorrent etc.
In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

As someone who grew at a time where email was an unquestioned, decentralized foundation of #FreeSoftware workflows, moves like leave a bad taste in my mouth. I understand how Discourse facilitates onboarding, but the idea of delegating to a central server and using the browser as the sole user interface remains unappealing to me.
Getting old?
🤦🏽♂️ Watching the opening keynote of the #OpenSource conference #AllThingsOpen, the organizers urged attendees to download the event's mobile app "from any app store". Seems like they didn't bother to submit it to the only app store on my phone, @fdroidorg -- most likely because they produced a proprietary event app instead of using one of the many available #FreeSoftware options.

It looks rather shocking to see Microsoft and Google logos in association with Debian, but as long as participants are "fully allowed to bite the hand feeding them", the compromise could at least be defended.
