This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:

IF your product is available under an #OpenSource license and some other company uses it to create a more compelling product offering than your own, THEN the problem is **not** the license or open source, it's that your company is failing at doing #business as well as your competitor is.
It is tempting to dismiss that manifesto as incoherent and self-serving, but it is important to remember that this it is also a list of beliefs the founders of tech companies will need to recite if they want investment money from that guy and his friends.
It's okay to publish code under a free software / open source license without starting a "project". Not every act of sharing code for others to use and/or build on is a "project". Which is something …(https://social.librem.one/@johns/111245408595647254)
I’ll write a fuller response later, but when billionaire tycoons who profit from genocide say that they want to become “supermen” while explicitly endorsing colonialism, that’s not optimism. That’s fascism with a smile. I actually make stuff, and help other people make stuff, and genuine optimism (technological or not) looks like community, nurturing, organizing and empowering — not indulging billionaires who profit from genocide.

According to Google Search Console, this little web app of mine is performing very well! https://boroughs.dpope.uk All it does is tell you which London borough you’re in, which is apparently something that hundreds of people search for every month!
sorry but I won't let tech bros take the term "optimist" and turn it into their own thing
Nothing depresses me like the knowledge that I am going to have to spend some of my precious workday reading a manifesto.
Dear #OpenSource contributors: do not reformat the code. It takes a second to run the formatter, but it requires hours to review the massive patch to ensure there aren't any bad changes hiding among all the spaces and brackets moved around.
It's an "use this custom API that we built" instead of "follow this standard that worked since the 1990s" kind of day.
So many men’s first instinct is to be condescending, because they think it will immediately place them in a power position over me. But, like, you just told me this interaction matters to you – and you’re emotionally invested in winning it for some reason. With that knowledge alone I could crush you, baby boy
[The CEO of Hashicorp speaks after the BSL shenanigans](https://www.thestack.technology/hashicorp-ceo-predicts-oss-free-silicon-valley-unless-the-open-source-model-evolves/): > He claimed that “My phone started ringing materially after we made our announcement from every open source startup in Silicon Valley going ‘I think this is the right model’.” I'll take "shit that definitely didn't happen" for $1,000
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is
In this episode, the CHAOSScast team is back! Georg Link, Dawn Foster, Sean Goggins, Matt Germonprez, and Elizabeth Barron discuss the relaunch of the podcast after taking a short break. They delve into the fascinating world of open source community health, focusing on metrics, metric models, and the CHAOSS Project’s role in measuring the health of open source communities. They share insights on how they’re working to make metrics more accessible and how they interpret these metrics within the context of specific projects. Additionally, they highlight the Data Science Initiative, the growth of CHAOSS community chapters worldwide, and their initiative to improve newcomer experience and promote diversity and inclusion in open source.

On October 11th, WireMock Inc together with the London Java Community organised a hack day in our new office in London. This event was held as a part of Hacktoberfest. We got 16 participants and worked together on a few projects like YAML configuration support in WireMock, OpenTelemetry integrations, improving documentation and Kotlin DSL, and more.

I'm way too old to realize that people can't read me (which, come on, should be no surprise, kids never got me either) - I have realized that a bunch of people in my life think I am unhappy with them. When the truth is: I am in absolute awe of them, and feel deeply deficient in comparison. It does not help that I never realized this. How does one convince people that you think they are wonderful? Asking for a me.
Brian Proffitt is the Senior Manager of Community Outreach at Red Hat’s OSPO. In this episode, we connect at the Open Source Summit EU to discuss how Brian uses events to drive both lead generation and community-building efforts. Throughout our conversation, Brian describes how measuring the ROI...
What’s funny about being non-binary is that, to me, I’m the normal one. I think our whole thing just kind of works, no? You’re all just being silly about colors and stuff. We’re the main characters of gender, just admit it.
The United States is like a villain from a scooby doo episode. In every episode the “monster” is a person of color, or illegal immigrant, or an LGBTQ person. But when they catch the “monster” and pull its mask off. It’s old man US government every god damn time.
My supervisor complains that everyone is sick on any given day half the office is empty and yet he has noticed that I am always at my desk so he asks what my secret is and so I reply that I must be lucky as I adjust the straps on my mask.
Writing my thoughts down as I start a potentially long process of something and writing "Whatever and whenever it happens, I'm still me :)" just felt nice, a reminder to myself that ultimately I'm still the same, I might just have some more answers to some things in my life #Journalling
Attached: 1 image I really try not to be overly critical of local government, having worked there and knowing the pressures. But this advice in this day and age is indefensible. The service itself has a load balancer in front of it. All it needs is an HTTPS certificate and a routing rule to terminate HTTPS connections.
Tomorrow, toddler permitting, I will have time to update my talks page (https://ohhelloana.blog/talks/) to include my latest and future talks as well as the link to my most recent interview! I really enjoy doing the interviews & guest writing - I love the prompts and that I don't have to rush doing it. So yeah, I'm keen to do more of it! Let me know! 💖

I had a chat with @proactivepaul@mastodon.social about Barcamp. Turns out it’s not hosted in a bar, nor is it a camping trip. It’s a gathering of people geeking out over whatever they want to talk about. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of random facts next month! #bclxii
I don’t want to alarm you but we are getting dangerously close to the 10 year anniversary of The Force Awakens

Another day, another HN comment thread that's mostly full of people complaining about someone's use of furry art in a technical post. This time, however, it's not me, Xe, or Cendyne that they're bitching about! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37887426
Summary: we are leaving Twitter because Elon Musk is encouraging hate and division. See you on LinkedIn and Mastodon!
You don't need to mansplain, you need a good pegging and to STFU. 💀
The whole bad space thing and blocking tech.lgbt from other instances is absolutely insane. Some of the instances involved haven't blocked mastodon.social (which is full of basically anything and tons of random abuse because it's so big), but are blocking tech.lgbt. As usual, queer people are hyper-scrutinised, and all it takes is one terminally online with an unhealthy obsession to find a way to frame an entire community as fundamentally evil based on some questionable disagreements. Don't use block lists. You really don't want your blocking decisions to be based on people who add things to a list on a whim with no accountability and oversight. But even outside of block lists... god when are progressive communities going to get over this obsession with performative punishment and branding people as bad? I've never seen this instance allow bad people to stay, moderators always take care of things, and they're usually pretty responsive. It's beyond absurd to block tech.lgbt

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof. I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower. There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.
The second annual Petaluma Pride Festival was a wild success, and waaay bigger than anticipated. Now it's time to rest, recover, ... and do the bookkeeping.
Really dislike that in Android 14 I now can't disable Nearby Share and so it permanently takes up a space in the sharing intent 😡
