I'm "on the fence" on this one #canonical!
But, if you indeed manage to keep the #LLM both #FOSS and local (i.e, not have my behavior uploaded without my concent other than possibly on explicit opt-in only), then I might even be willing to "give it a spin"!

As 2026 progresses, LLM-based tools are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Adoption across the tech industry has been mixed, both in terms of which projects are embracing “AI” technologies, and in how companies are structuring their adoption. As a result, I’m frequently asked about what Canonical and Ubuntu will do (or not) to incorporate AI. In this post I’ll detail how AI will play a part in both Canonical and Ubuntu’s future, my framework for classifying AI features in the OS, and how Canoni...
Free software contributions are often driven by people taking responsibility. First, you contribute a bit, then you feel compelled to contribute more or to fix issues with your previous contributions.
But we should not overdo it. Free software is first and foremost volunteer-driven. It should also be fun!
If you are a free software contributor and feel bad about not contributing more because you life does not allow it, don't be stressed over it!

Wist je dat steeds meer overheden #social berichten plaatsen op #Mastodon? 🚀
1. 🔎 ONTDEK welke overheidsorganisaties actief zijn: https://social.overheid.nl/directory (Óf zoek op “social.overheid.nl” in je eigen account.)
2. 📖 LEES alle berichten van de overheid, *ook zonder account*: https://social.overheid.nl/public/local
3. 🔁 VOLG overheden en REAGEER op hun berichten via een eigen account dat je eerst aanmaakt op een andere server: https://social.overheid.nl/about#:~:text=2.%20Hoe%20volg%20ik%20overheidsorganisaties%20of%20berichten%3F
Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳
Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.
This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs. 🤝
@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

Volgens het oude recept. In november 2025 werd de overname bekend. Toen was het te vroeg iets te doen. Dus deed men niets. En nu zeggen ze dat het te laat is om nog iets te doen. Klassieke truc die al in Yes Minister aangeraden werd.
