Absolutely blown away that my colleagues and I at CounterCurrent, along with the folks at Rainstick, are the first Aussie winners of AWS + IRCAI's Compute for Climate Fellowship. I'm super excited about the work we're doing 🥳 https://countercurrent.ai/news/2025-07-10-ircai-aws/

Very proud of, and sad for, our friends at @thecarpentries for turning down a $1.5M #NSF grant rather than abandon their values. The (illegal) demands that they abandon DEI work were fundamentally at odds with their mission, and they made a hard and principled choice.

Announcing Withdrawal of NSF Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems Proposal

In September 2024, The Carpentries submitted a proposal to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) Program. This project would position The Carpentries as a leading open source ecosystem and further solidify our independence as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation. Developing a proposal of this magnitude (1.5 million USD) involved a significant amount of preparation, from conceptualisation of the idea to navigating the complex submission process. It was the first time The Carpentries did it on our own, with our Associate Director, Erin Becker, leading as principal investigator.

Testing out iPadOS 26 and I’m seriously considering switching on extra contrast. The glass is pretty but really adds a lot of detail that feels like it increases cognitive load 😮‍💨

Do folks have favourite Office alternatives to recommend? I'm without an Office sub at the moment (and honestly would love to ditch it generally anyway). Of course there's G Suite, but something local is always nice. Gave LibreOffice a go and did not love it tbh. Any others out there? I was eyeing up Only Office but haven't heard much about it.
