The PHP Foundation wants to publicly share our support for the petition that aims to classify open source contributions as officially recognized volunteer work in Germany. This is a very important distinction for all our open source friends and community members living in Germany, but anyone can sign the petition. It would also be appreciated if you want to spread the word and help us help the organizers reach the 30,000 signatures required to bring it to quorum. 🙏 🐘 🚀

Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. 🥳 🇫🇷

Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! 👏

TypeScript 6.0 is now available!

This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more!

But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0!

I’ll be active today on the 10-meter band (28.078 MHz), running JT9 from 06:00 to 13:00 UTC.

I won’t be at the rig every single minute, but I’ll be monitoring closely and doing my best to catch your signals and get back to you. If you’re into weak-signal modes or just want to see how the ionosphere is holding up today—come join in!

If you know anyone who might be interested in a JT9 contact, feel free to spread the word.

Looking forward to seeing you on the waterfall!

73!

Replaced Disqus with Mastodon-powered comments on my Hugo blog. The idea clicked as soon as I read @getajobmike's post. One tootId in the frontmatter, a web component by @dpecos doing the fetching, and Disqus is gone. No tracking. No ads.

Here's how I set it up on my blog: https://jonhnnyweslley.net/blog/mastodon-comments/
