@aral@mastodon.ar.al My little lad had a bad leukaemia when he was 20 months - in 2002. He had care at Great Ormond St - I calculated at the time (I’m an accountant) at somewhere between £250k and £500k, entirely free to us. And he lived. The US families sometimes didn’t fare so well. After they’d drained all insurance & resources their kids often died of something entirely treatable. Folks need to think very hard before voting for either #Tories or #Labour. @nhsactivistrn

there's the amusing line of thought regarding the “source-available” proprietary licenses, which maintains they're targeted against the abuse of the free software by the large saas companies. and of course it's bullshit. large saas companies are big enough to take over maintenance of the latest non-encumbered version, throw funds and people at it, and even provide the result to the public (cf. elastic search and opensearch). or, if they feel like it, they may just buy out the whole company with its product instead of paying licence fees – if they really need it and there's no other way to get the required expertise. the people who actually get shafted by the license changes and embrace of the proprietary model are the other open source projects that depend on the now-closed software, and small-to-mid-sized companies.
The Elastic folks out here being reply guys downplaying the Redis license changes is so very on brand. 🤦🥴
Not only could we not rid ourselves of PDFs but now we're inventing ways to talk to them
Source Available != Open Source That's not an opinion. If it's SSPL, BUSL, etc., it's categorically not "open source" according to the Open Source Definition.
I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates It means that every post published was important to the writer Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Marco Inaros is every dude who ever learned to ape the language of feminism and race and gender studies specifically as a means to hit on women and manipulate real, legitimate grievances into a play to increase their own power. He's a gaslighting abuser. Plain as.

Anyone got a new brain? I'd really like mine to give me a fucking break and let me recover 🧠
In this latest, they say: "Redis has been sponsoring the bulk of development alongside a dynamic community of developers eager to contribute". I was just talking to @quaid about this, and he made an excellent point: if your company-sponsored open source project is still 95% company-developed, _you messed up several years ago_.

Thank you for the shame-driven reminder 😅
I accidentally signed up for it over 4 years ago (and have been meaning to add the links) but as Jan mentions, I've still been part of the ring, but now I've finally gotten around to adding them!

$1 million budget: 90% test coverage, comprehensive DevOps pipeline, all work rooted in user research, delivery every two weeks, all code in an open repo. $300 million budget: No tests, no CI/CD, no user research, delivery on an annual cadence, code is a secret because it's a trash fire.

I've been at the OSS Growing Pains workshop focused on governance these last couple of days, and I've never felt more confident that I'm in the right place. I'll be unpacking and riding on this experience for a while! Deeply grateful to @shauna@social.coop for the invite, and to have spent time with amazing humans like @HeatherLeson@fosstodon.org, @silona@fosstodon.org, and @ntnsndr@social.coop ✨

Kyle Quest joins the show to tell Autumn & Justin all about the evolution of DockerSlim & minimal container images. Why are small container images important? What are different strategies to make containers smaller? Let’s find out!
Remember folks. When VC is funding Corporation that releases a Open Source project its only a matter of time until they take it back. Their goal is to get their product embedded into your organization and abuse you for free work in the hopes they can eventually sell their corporation and cash out. Its always good for them, and rarely good for you.
Ooh very cool! We've got [this wobbler bowl(https://www.petsandfriends.co.uk/products/lickimat-wobble-green-dog-treat-bowl-16cm) that our (2 year old) doggo uses and that slows her down a bit, but have found the K9Connectables have been the best for slowing down food - but screw top on the Wobbl looks very good!

For fun I recently pimped out a ruby script that I had written for some testing with a little color and a spinner. If you have never used ANSI escape codes before I've put together a simple script that shows how easy it is. First let me say that if you are using ruby and

Got a link to the thread? May have missed it but sounds very interesting 👀
There's been a thread about dependencies lately and the challenge of convincing developers to look at the full dependency chain. I once maintained a C++ binary that included a PostScript interpreter, a JPEG decoder, a JavaScript interpreter, and a number of other utterly irrelevant pieces causing a huge factor increase in the size of the binary. The culprit: A single logging statement that invoked a general-purpose printer that could print web stuff. Switching to sprintf fixed it.
