Eugen RochkoI know 100% that people will argue with me over this, but I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen. The medium has something to do with it--film made a lot of these things fundamentally necessary--but I think it's more complex than just that. The last few years' movies are just not pleasant to look at, with very few exceptions, and the change occurred sometime around 2015.
dietrichHow do we get to more than just three web engines owned by three US companies?
It's a gargantuan question, with no easy or right answer.
I've put together a draft report, thinking about it through a very specific approach - please enjoy:

Josh BressersThis week on #OpenSourceSecurity I had a chat with Paul Kehrer and Alex Gaynor about the statement they published discussing the challenges posed by modern OpenSSL for the python cryptography module
It was a super fun discussion, I learned a ton, and it highlights the open source question about what happens when one of your dependencies isn't a great fit anymore

The State of OpenSSL for pyca/cryptography with Alex Gaynor and Paul Kehrer
Josh talks to Paul Kehrer and Alex Gaynor, from the Python Cryptographic Authority. Alex and Paul recently published a statement discuss the challenges posed by modern OpenSSL. We discuss the statement and their relationship with OpenSSL. We chat about some of the current features in cryptography, as well as some of what’s coming in the future. It’s a fun conversation that hits on a lot of great points.

Andrew NesbittTaking 'just use Postgres' to its logical endpoint: git push to deploy into a single Postgres process.
I've been working on a unified cli that works for github, gitlab, gitea/forgejo and bitbucket. So you (or a coding agent) doesn't need to learn 4 different sets of commands for what are basically all doing the same things: https://github.com/git-pkgs/forge
Yoïn van SpijkThe origin of the word ‘iron’ is shrouded in mystery.
It comes from a Proto-Germanic word that was most probably borrowed from Proto-Celtic *īsarnom, the ancestor of Irish ‘iarann’. The Celts were skilful metal workers during the Iron Age.
However, tracing *īsarnom further back has proven to be hard.
My new graphic shows four hypotheses, as well as the many descendants of *īsarnom in Celtic and Germanic:

RE: https://floss.social/@GIMP/116229009692048437
We released #GIMP 3.2.0 today! Quite an exhausting week with usual last-minute issues!
E.g. the CI infra suddenly failed yesterday! Fortunately admins were prompt to fix as always (still I went to bed at 1AM)!
Then issues in Windows packaging, which testers didn't notice with early test packages (of course, only noticed by someone just after the tagging! 😱).
Yet all in all, first time I end the release around 7PM after having started the release day at 9AM! The procedure gets better! 😄
Mike McQuaidAndrew nails here many parts of what actually makes OSS maintaining hard work.
Empathy is needed more for OSS sustainability than money.
