Today I was dealing with Tahoe on a Macbook after almost ten years away. I say unironically: commercial operating systems represent crimes against humanity. People pay for this? Windows and Mac users are all victims of Stockholm syndrome. What a hellscape.

Stop Using Conventional Commits

You’ve almost certainly encountered Conventional Commits before. It may have reared its ugly head in the changelog of an open source project you’ve used. It may have been the enforced commit format for an open source project you contributed to. A lot of people swear by it. I swear at it. Even though it is used by a large number of popular open source projects, Conventional Commits is an actively bad standard which encourages focus on the wrong things and fails to deliver on its promises.

Following the @EUCommission Tech Sovereignty and Open Source Strategy (and Mastodon’s direct mention within it!) announced this week…

Our team is proud to have signed and contributed to the drafting of the European Social Stack Open Declaration alongside our peers in the #SocialWeb and #Fediverse: @anewsocial, @eurosky.social, @newsmast, Save Social, and @swf.

We are a movement, and stronger together.

Read the declaration, add your signature, and share: https://european.social/

gh-profiler 0.7.0 is a significant improvement over previous versions.

All PR and issue activity is broken into three categories: repos the user owns, repos in orgs the user is publicly associated with, and external repos. All flag evaluation focuses on activity against *external* repos.

This is a model open source maintainer. They were showing up red, because they were opening a bunch of identical issues. But those were in their own orgs, and quite appropriate.

Git Rev News Edition 135 (May 31st, 2026)

After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

Only the pros know its real meaning:

"Looked. Got tired. Merged."

FDroid currently has 383 open MRs to their main repo. Most are app updates or new apps waitikng to be added to the repo.

That is really quite a work queue for the volunteer maintainers.

If you're looking for places you could contriubute in OSS, this could be one, very meaningful way to do so.
