I've made the decision to shut Libre Lounge's website down.
While I'm proud of the work I did and episodes I participated in, platforming racists outweighs the benefits.
I'll do this next week

Just listening to the Libre Lounge interview with Lukas Hartmann, the human behind the MNT Reform project to build a liberating laptop:

User Interfaces (UX) and participating in the open source community with Máirín Duffy on #librelounge
Posted about it when it came out, but just pointed UX person at work to it, so thought I'd share here again as well :)

UX is hard. Incoherent UX is also hard.
Great new #LibreLounge episode, Sean O'Brian gives kudos to

Listened twice to the latest #LibreLounge episode with #NextCloud founder Frank Karlitschek.
It was quite encouraging to learn that the RedHat model of funding free software is still the most successful one. The top 0.1% of the customers of a software product might pay enough to fund its development.
Individual hosters need not pay to use the software since the marginal cost of distribution of free software is negligible. Big customers will pay well enough.

I've had very little time to visit Mastodon lately but I'm back. I was listening to the #librelounge podcast this morning. Libre lounge is about free software and free culture and is pretty entertaining while working.
