Graham DownsDo you think an average #Mastodon user with a couple hundred followers could post a silly #poll to the #Fediverse, and get a million or more votes in 7 days?
Please boost to widen the sample. ;-)
Yes

Jeff GeerlingTo celebrate this first day of the new month, I'd like to acknowledge corporate open source for seeing the light and putting individual devs and contributors in the rearview mirror once and for all.
BSL is such a brilliant evolution in licensing—and so good for the quarterlies!
Gabe KangasMy heart goes out to xz. A single maintainer, who was clearly in a rough place with mental health, screaming out to the world for some help and additional contributions, and somebody shows up wanting to help. Could you imagine how happy that maintainer was? They were no longer alone.
And it turns out the only reason somebody wanted to help them was nefarious. I can’t imagine how they feel right now as everyone is blaming them. I hope they’re ok.

Nick @ The Linux ExperimentHey everyone!
I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.
So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)
It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.
SonnyI am now a very responsible Linux app developer who verified their apps on @flathub

Scott Williams 🐧It's not the first time an overworked maintainer of a widely used project gave over the reigns to an eager outside developer who eventually used the project to craft a supply chain attack.
