Hi developer friends (esp #opensource -y types), if you have ditched twitter for #Mastodon for ideological reasons (I suspect you are many because... wow.), would you please drop me a note and tell me a little about it? I'd appreciate it. I'm just trying to get an idea of where people are on this right now. I'm feeling very conflicted. For now, I am still cross posting, but I'm feeling ickier by the day. #TwitterMigration Boosts welcome and appreciated.

A nice reminder that life goes on during wartime, and there are even little pockets of hope and joy. "Overcoming overwhelming odds has become something of a Ukrainian national pastime in 2022."

@kyle still makes better lyrics than AI. Phew! 🤣

@pdxjohnny I posted the wrong one the first time. That was the "Baby Got Back" version. I think I ultimately prefer "Fight the Power."

Ode to Open Source by me and #ChatGPT (but mostly ChatGPT)

Write me a song about #opensource software to the tune of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power"

Chorus:
Open source, open source
It's the way to go
Open source, open source
It's the way to go

Bridge:
Open source is more than just a trend
It's a movement, a community that never ends
With open source, you can make a difference
And build something great with a little persistence

Chorus:
Open source, open source
It's the way to go
Open source, open source
It's the way to go

2/2

The full lyrics:

Verse 1:
Open source is the way to go
It's free and it's flexible, you know
You can use it for your projects, big and small
And you can share it with friends, have a ball

Chorus:
Open source, open source
It's the way to go
Open source, open source
It's the way to go

Verse 2:
With open source, you can change the code
To fit your needs, to make it your own
You don't have to worry about licensing fees
With open source, you're free as a breeze
