Watch out for this banner at #FOSDEM! A bit more than a week left and you can meet a large part of the Mastodon team and buy some of our merch in building H, level 1! @fosdem

When I graduated as an engineer, a friend told me "How do you feel entering a plane when you know that people like us build it".

I’ve worked several years in the automotive industry and saw how software was done there.

When the 737-MAX crashed, I entered into the rabbit-hole and built a really good understanding of the software issue.

The results are:

- I don’t board a boeing plane anymore.
- I avoid cars as much as I can.
- I be sure to recommend cars with the less possible software.

@nixCraft Chrome truly a monopoly
Firefox on the brink? https://www.brycewray.com/posts/2023/11/firefox-brink/ We need Firefox for the open web. Please do not cancel it. Otherwise, Chrome will force everyone to watch ten ads per page or video. The choice is yours. Do you want privacy and safety, or do you want one company dominating the market?
Firefox on the brink?

The Big Three may effectively be down to a Big Two, and right quick.

The #GodotEngine Foundation is now one year old, and what a year!

We launched our Godot Development Fund in September, which gathered a lot of support from the community.

Here's an update about where we stand, and what this new level of funding enables:

@paulschoe @dangillmor @TheAtlantic I understand that sometimes it’s okay to keep ads. But I’m just not paying for articles
@paulschoe @dangillmor @TheAtlantic we weren’t talking about ads. OP said “paywall” not ads. Adblockers remove those too. Also even with ads you are paying with your data
@paulschoe @dangillmor @TheAtlantic I don’t care. If you want to pay to read a few words, go ahead
@notnite why is it so true
