I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice.

It seems I was radicalised by basic decency. 🤷‍♂️

2.5 Admins 296: Beware of the Leopard

Microsoft locks devs out of important accounts, the foreign router ban exemptions make even less sense, Backblaze shows that “unlimited” never means that, and attempting to avoid software that’s written with AI.

I thought I might just ask; fedi's as good a place to ask as any other.

Are there grants for #freesoftware and #opensource *activism* -- not software projects -- open to individuals not in the US or the EU?

I have big dreams of starting a project I really intended to be the go-to place for 11-14 year olds who're interested in free software activism, but I need financial resources to make it happen.

My budget, at most, is 55,000 EUR p.a., maybe a little more for the first year.

Excellent reading of the room. 👌

Excited for #OggCamp but can’t make it in person this year? We’re excited to announce that we’ll be live streaming our main stage throughout Saturday and Sunday!

VoD of the sessions will be available shortly after, too.

7 Things Tim Cook Did Right and 4 Things He Did WRONG

<Mouth agape and pointing at Airpods and the Vision Pro in the thumbnail>

The French government makes a start on moving to the Linux Desktop, the EU has a terrible but open source age verification app, some clarity on one of the exciting office suite dramas, the media swallows Anthropic’s nonsense about their new magically powerful model, a quick KDE Korner, and more.
