We passed the €30,000 threshold on the Godot Development Fund today! 🎉

Thanks everyone for your support! 💙

Our current goal is to reach 50k as soon as possible, to secure the current payroll, and enable us to add a couple more developers to the team.

Want a nice _and_ reliable #calendar application for #GNOME and #Linux desktops (& #mobile!) in general, based on the @EvolutionGnome data server?

Know some #C #programming and looking for a well-scoped challenge to get your feet wet and put those skills to use in #opensource?

#GNOMECalendar could really use your help to write unit tests, so that we can use #TestDrivenDevelopment #TDD #CI for #refactoring all timezones-related code and make it reliable. Now is the time!

This winter is going to be amazing

I have to agree to waive my right to a jury trial in order to order a pizza.

What the heck?!

People, READ YOUR BLOODY AGREEMENTS. *Please*. They're binding legal documents. Literally all I do is search for the words "waive," "binding," and "arbitration." If I see those, I say no.

It's just not that hard.

Disclaimer: this toot is not to be interpreted as legal advice. Your mileage may vary. May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not ingest. Do not dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

Looks like phones with hardware kill-switches running a fully open-source OS will become increasingly popular here! 😢

The downsides of being frugal.

The #OpenStreetMap Foundation spends, even with a slightly more ambitious budget this year than previously, less than %1 of what WMF/Wikipedia does, but is struggling to make ends meet.

There is no threat a la the infamous Wikipedia ads that the project will shut down, but without the funds activities will have to be cut back significantly.

If you consider OSM valuable consider https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/

The fact that there’s an orchid called ‘The Naked Man’ because, well, that’s what it looks like, still ridiculously amuses me.

With a few small bumps, managed to get the #Librem5 booting into a #Mobian installer, and installed with an encrypted rootfs!

So far, only have #Dino configured, but that is enough for this to be a hugely useful communications device, especially with #JMPchat to connect up to telephony networks!

Love the kill switches for cellular modem, wifi/bluetooth and camera/mic!

This is my first #Debian #Trixie based computer, as there may be issues with the now-stable #Bookworm on this hardware.
