We have way too many patents as it is. The last thing we need are AI patent troll farms generating millions of trivial "inventions" then suing everyone actually building stuff.

ive got a few blog posts bookmarked, but can anyone recommend me writing on how for-profit companies abuse open source? specifically thinking about how they treat it like outsourced labor- relying on public labor for private profits, but other criticisms like patterns of EEE relevant too.

boosts welcome, want to make sure I cite the ppl who are writing abt this.

Audio over DisplayPort over USB-C, coming soon to a #Librem5 near you.

New phone who dis? It's real!
The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big and slightly more specced up sibling - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to dynamically resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got bodyslammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See https://puri.sm/

The new Food Code recognizes that food from retailers can be OK for donation

This treatment in the Food Code is part of the Biden Administration’s National Strategy on #hunger, #nutrition, and #health . The National Strategy provides a roadmap of actions the federal government will take to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030 – all while reducing disparities.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.
