The EU needs a corporate “open source contribution tax” to fund open source maintainers

Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars (also a big number). Most of it is one person. And I can promise you not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resource

“The vulnerability might be in the proof-of-concept”

This is a common pattern I see for reporters to open source projects, where the proof-of-concept itself contains the vulnerability, not the project.

Great presentation today at #OSSummit Europe today by @zendis

So encouraging to see #Germany's leadership on deploying #OpenSource #SoverignDigital #government

Looking at how to manage both the technology but also the change. Amazing to see France & Holland also collaborating on this project!


Nice keynote from Dirk Hohndel at the @linuxfoundationeu.bsky.social #OSSummit reminding us of the importance of #OpenSource ecosystems. #Open is a value that needs to be given more weight over convenience.

#NextCloud really drove me angry. They simply choose to ignore accessibility concerns in favor of so-called "security". It's absolutely none of their business to protect users from viruses and trojans, and saying that "We can't allow one-press copy public link because a script can call this API" is total BS, because in this case any attacker script has access to every file on that PC! Great job, NextCloud, great job. Whenever someone tells me once more about "giving up big corporations", I'll point them to this issue. And yes, I really hope someone sues them because their #desktop client is a total accessibility nightmare. github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… #OpenSource #Accessibility

😲🤬 re: what's happened to @Codeberg today.
The AI ballyhoo *is* a real DDoS against one of the few code hosting sites that takes a stand against slurping #FOSS code into LLM training sets — in violation of #copyleft.

Deregulation/lack-of-regulation will bring more of this. ∃ plenty of blame to go around, but #Microsoft & #GitHub deserve the bulk of it; they trailblazed the idea that FOSS code-hosting sites are lucrative targets.

On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”

To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂
