Attached: 1 image Good news! It looks like the noise you have all made has convinced Philips Hue to reconsider. They will not force data sharing on user accounts, according to their response in this The Verge article. We do await the exact changes to their policy. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23892761/philips-hue-app-account-changes

I've been building that capability in dependency-management-data, an Open Source project - this then gives you an SQLite database you can query ie at https://dependency-management-data-example.fly.dev/datasette/ which also has the ability to track things like End of Life dependencies or add your own advisories to flag things too

That being said, I'm excited to be talking at two conferences in October:
- DDD East Midlands next week, with a new talk This talk could've been a blog post
- TechMids in a few weeks, with a full-length version of Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software
Hope to see some of you there!

If you made $10,000 every day and never spent a cent, from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed, to the time you are reading this, you would still not have a billion dollars. Tax billionaires out of existence. And actually redistribute the wealth to the people.

How RSS works: You post a blog post and RSS puts it on a window sill like a pie and then the stink lines come over to me –a cartoon cat– and I levitate and flutter like a dolphin in the air following the stink lines to the window sill and eat the pie for free.

For anyone who is considering it for their own org, I shifted my org to a four day workweek several months ago, just as others globally are starting to (including, civil servants in Scotland!) 100% endorse. We are getting the same amount of work done because we are less bored, stressed and tired. We all take off Fridays. Everyone’s pay remained the same. Some people use the time for a paid second gig. Others to volunteer or like me, to read a book with a cat snuggled near by. #4dayworkweek

I would love to congratulate @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social on the new Raspberry Pi 5 launch but they blocked me and a bunch of others for suggesting that hiring an undercover police officer to build surveillance tech would seem a bit dodge. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5

How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/

Baffling timing for Epic layoffs, I would have thought they’d want to be sending “having our shit together” vibes following the Unity saga

I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com
