Here I talk about my relationship with the Linux Foundation, my meeting with Ian Murdock back in 2006, digital sovereignty in Europe, #GSoC contributors Akarshan Kapoor and @soumyadghosh, and some personal things.
@nina_kali_nina And there is a nice, loud dot matrix printer! 9 or 24 pins?
By the way, these old printers still work with Linux.
@kkremitzki @concretedog I have invited the creators of the #OpenPrinter to our booth, but as the license for their published construction plans was a CC license with "non-commercial" restriction, the licens was non-free and so #FOSDEM organizers have not accepted them.
The creators plan to open up their license once their printer is in production, so perhaps next year you will see it on FOSDEM ...
I had a conversation in the YouTube show/Podcast Tech'o'Space. Everything about my quarter of a decade with OpenPrinting, the incident with Canonical and my recovery, my plans for the future, the OpportunityOpenSource conferences in India, ... And I had a lot to say, so the link below (episode #86) is only the first part, the second (episode #87) will come in a few days ...

It is short, like a lightning talk, only 3:40 min.

On my Ubuntu I have installed the Snap. It just works the same way as the original VS Code, but due to AI nonsense removed it takes only 340 instead of 460 MB of storage.
So after that I just uninstalled VS Code and now I can code without AI taking my resources and abusing my work.
And as we do not want to vibe-code at OpenPrinting, this is probably the best solution.

...
This is a project which clones the GitHub repository of the source of VS Code and packages it with a hell lot of different package managers. All common distros and even Windows and Mac are covered.
The source for the packaging work you find here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

...
Principally it is open-source under MIT but the binary packages from Microsoft add closed-source code for AI (Copilot), spying the users code for training and also to integrate Copilot in the app.
But now I have discovered a solution: VS Codium, Like Chrome -> Chromium we have here Code -> Codium.
