cslinuxboyMake no mistake, if an outage similar to Crowdstrike would have been caused by OpenSource, there would be calls across the entire industry and at the government level to ban OpenSource from critical systems. But since it was caused by billion-dollar publicly-traded companies, nothing to see here, move-on.

FOSS PostIn an incredible move, Switzerland has enacted a law obligating public sector bodies to provide the source code of any software developed for or by them under an open source license.

I love Mastodon; just wish ~3X as many folks in my world were active here. It's a real pain going to Twitter & Threads to cross-post (especially Threads given it's mobile-only and I prefer to do social on bigger screens).
But, marketing on behalf of Mastodon is weird. I'm shocked how many say "I tried it but couldn't figure out the signup process," and even when I tell them it's easier now, they shrug and reply that "it's not worth it." This mentality is pervasive, but completely foreign to me.
Abandoned AmericaThere are many things to like about the Fediverse but the overabundance of people who take every opportunity to assume you don't understand simple or obvious concepts so they can explain them to you like you're four - particularly when you're clearly joking about something - is not one of them

Pete Prodoehl 🍕People who are like "The migration to Mastodon has failed!"
No it hasn't. I literally migrated to Mastodon from Twitter, and I don't use Twitter anymore, but I do use Mastodon every day.
I call that a successful migration.
