Love to see forks emerge when a company gets greedy and transitions to source-available after years of accepting third party contributions and establishing market share under an open source license.

@steve@s.yelvington.com BREAKING: Old white guy tells marginalized groups there's nothing to worry about; they may actually be the fascists. More later tonight.
Hey, with people in the news getting sentenced to prison, facing the possibility of prison time, etc., just a reminder: it is not desirable, nor funny, that violence in prison (including sexual violence), be a part of someone's punishment. Even people you really, really do not like who have done really super bad things. It is to the United State's shame that violence in prison is part of our carceral system, and we should not celebrate it, ever. We should seek to eliminate it.
Found a whole new level of security incompetence. Went to type in my 2FA code, but nothing appeared on screen. They hadn't disabled pasting. Instead, they used JavaScript to ensure that only numbers could be typed in. But only numbers from the number row of my keyboard. I was using my NumPad which, as every good developer knows, uses different event codes! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/code

Today I got the pleasure to chat with Jerod Santo, the Managing Editor at Changelog Media. Picture this ā a podcast that not only uncovers the intricacies of Jerod's career but also shares some unconventional lessons learned from his work. From navigating the ever-evolving tech landscape to spearheading Changelog, Jerod brings a wealth of experience that transcends your typical engineer expectations and taps into the heart of what it means to build a sustainable developer community.
Script flipped! Today weāre sharing two interviews of us on Other Peopleās Podcasts (OPP): Kathrine Druckman from the Open at Intel podcast invited us on the show at KubeCon NA in November and Den Delimarsky hosted Jerod on The Work Item podcast in February.

I made up a neat little pattern in Go the other day. Itās a way to represent a state change in a system by exposing different APIs for different states, while only holding state in a single underlying struct. Iām sure Iām not the first person to invent this, and it may already a name, so please let me know if you know of one. Iām going to show an instance of the pattern first and the motivation after.
Convex is a serverless backend platform to simplify fullstack application development. Its underlying database is written in Rust, and it uses TypeScript to integrate with reactive UI frameworks. The platform is growing, which has presented new reasons to make the code open source, and Convex recently released the source code for a self-managed version of
Redis is no longer OSS, breaking its explicit commitment to remain under the BSD 3-Clause License forever. This has angered contributors who are now working to fork the software.

@Marcus@k8s.social Huh, I hadn't noticed they too changed their license. We're going to need tools to help avoid projects not hosted by a foundation in our supply chains if this keeps up. Maybe some Rego rules in @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me 's DMD :) https://dmd.tanna.dev/

Wondering what the world would look like if we implemented "Universal Basic Website". Entitle everyone to their own domain, a few GB of space, the ability to run simple apps / blogs / etc. What does the world look like if people aren't beholden to Flickr / Facebook / Google Photos to share their family albums? #UBI
@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @Edent@mastodon.social Hereās an article about our pilot project in Ghent seven years ago (!!!) now. Unfortunately, a conservative local government took power and cancelled our funding. https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/gent-wil-burgers-eigen-stukje-internet-geven~b92ec1b4/
@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @Edent@mastodon.social My goal with the Small Web (Kitten, Domain, and Place) is to launch as a paid service so we can pay the mortgage and then, hopefully as people use it and maybe even as other orgs host Domain instances, to go to the EU, etc., and say āit works ā now support this with our taxes.ā Weāll see how it goes. The fact that we have had ā¬zero EU funding to date doesnāt exactly fill me with hope.
I got a new computer from work and my cat has blessed it with her face juice, so I think I can send the old one back now

I feel like subscriptions have generally made software quality worse. There was an argument that having to make paid upgrades to generate revenue to pay salaries put pressure on companies to change things that didnāt need changing, just to get that upgrade money, and subs reflected the holistic task of careful maintenance better. But in practice whatās often happened is the subscription props up bad decisions on product direction, because subs have to keep paying either way.
@noracodes@tenforward.social IMHO you should pay for open source if you are making a profit on it. Lots of companies are reselling proprietary software and are paying for licenses without having specific feature wishes for the software, they just pay for the maintenance.
"Vendor lock-in"? They wish. All these vendors are locked in here with ME.

I finally got round to implementing dark mode for this site (the cobblerās children have no shoes and all thatā¦) Hereās all the CSS I had to add: @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Invert all elements on the body while attempting to not alter the hue substantially. */ body { filter: invert(100%) hue-rotate(180deg); } /* Workarounds and optical adjustments. */ /* Firefox workaround: Set the background colour for the html element separately because, unlike other browsers, Firefox doesnāt apply the filter to the root elementās background.

Ever been staying at a hotel and gotten annoyed that you always have to open a browser to log in for wireless access? Yup, me too. A recent instance was particularly frustrating and I had to pull out my favourite Swiss Army chainsaw in order to make my life a bit easier.

In a riveting episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, host Schalk Neethling welcomed Matteo Collina, a luminary in the Node.js community whose work has amassed over 22 billion downloads on npm in 2023 for the various open source modules he maintains. This episode was not just a deep dive into the technical intricacies of Node.js but also an enlightening discourse on the security landscape, community engagement, and the future of back-end development with the introduction of Platformatic. Here's a closer look at the discussions that made this episode a must-listen for developers.
