Hey @linuxfoundation here is a plan under #California law #AB1043:

Sell a standarized, audited compliance module (libagesignal) to corpos. Put an #opensource "Age Signal API" standard. Sell signed the binaries and certification.

I'll bet corpos will lobby the hell out the law.

Ageless Linux — Software for Humans of Indeterminate Age

Endlich frei! 😎

Linux statt Windows, Open Source statt Tech-Konzern-Kram. Kein Meta, kein TikTok, kein X – und schon gar kein ChatGPT oder Grok. Österreichischer E-Mail-Provider, Schweizer Cloud und alles selbstbestimmt. So macht digitales Leben Spaß!

Open tech is inevitable. Eventually, it became the dominant force in software, and over time, the same will happen in AI. It just needs a bunch of stars to align,” states OpenUK CEO Amanda Brock. Read here: https://www.computing.co.uk/feature/2026/rolling-out-ai-that-works-the-trust-factor/

🔥 Hot take alert! 🔥 "I would love there to be a SaaS apocalypse" in observability – that's according to Ari Zilka, CEO at #datapipeline engine startup MyDecisive AI, and a former exec at New Relic and #
Hortonworks. MyDecisive's #opensourcesoftware targets data management costs from #observability vendors such as Datadog by reducing data at the source; it can also proactively alert on and take action on #OpenTelemetry data as it comes in from enterprise applications.

If Zilka has his way, #o11y will return to enterprises as an in-house discipline, but without requiring an army of engineers to set it up.

IT Ops Query: The "observability tax," AI and the SaaSpocalypse

Hi everyone 👋

I’m the creator of an open-source project: https://zoomment.com/

The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏
