I have made it one of my life goals, to at some point be able to provide a family member with a Linux phone they can actually use.

For the next 21 weeks the Tech Reclaimers are going to walk thru the #cybercleanse one week (instead of day) at a time!

join in via @TheBulletin or join our Signal or Discord groups by visiting https://www.reclaimcontrol.tech

Week 1 is GET READY: make sure you have the hardware you need. I recommend an external drive to save your stuff locally, but you may also have your eye on repurposing an old laptop or switching up your phone operating system. Make sure you have what you need to proceed.

Reclaim Control | over your technology, your devices, your data, your digital life.

Codeberg is different.

Codeberg is a non-profit.

Moreover, it is a *democratic* non-profit. You can (and, if you actively use Codeberg, should) become a member and you will have an equal vote and a fair say in the running of the association, and in any decisions we make about what to offer and what not to offer.

This democratic right is guaranteed to you not only by our constitution, but by German law, which guarantees that the membership as a whole has the ultimate decision-making power.

Oh, and thank you very much for all the help getting this done! There has been a significant amount of work to fix all the issues along the way.

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

Open Source and AI

More and more frequently, I get asked about my stance on AI in the context of programming. This is my attempt to summarize my stance for those who wonder.

Erik “kusma” Faye-Lund

Today a 14 year old wrote an email proudly explaining how they installed #postmarketOS on their Acer Chromebook, and asking if I could send some stickers to their postal address. I invited them to #FrOSCon (where they could get a lot of stickers!), since that's a family-friendly event, and otherwise said I would try. They replied very happy to get a reply from a pmOS maintainer, and "see you in Sankt Augustin".

I'm just so happy I made the day of this kid :D

@unfinishedsymphony has recently stepped up helping with issues related to postmarketOS docs (huge thanks!). And one of the things we had pending was fixing the ugly banner to go back to the index, for example in https://docs.postmarketos.org/policies-and-processes/governance.html. I as the maintainer have very little UI and UX knowledge. If anybody here would like to suggest improvements there, or directly comment in the code in https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/docs.postmarketos.org/-/merge_requests/63 that would be super welcomed!

Open Source Gave Me Everything Until I Had Nothing Left to Give - Kenneth Reitz

I was at a tech conference in Sweden when it started. I hadn’t slept in days. I was one of the most prolific open source developers in the Python ecosystem, maintaining the most downloaded HTTP library on Earth, keynoting conferences across the world, and I was losing my mind in a hotel room six thousand miles from home.

Open Source Gave Me Everything Until I Had Nothing Left to Give

I thought I was having a spiritual awakening. I was having a psychiatric emergency. I was at a tech conference in Sweden when it started. I hadn't slept in...

Gosh I've been installing MS Edge all these years literally just for this one single feature because Papers didn't have it

So neat to see it's finally here!
