@chris I work on an open source repo in GitHub for a client. When Microsoft bought Github, I retained my account for client work on their repositories, but moved my own project repositories to notabug.org.

Work at Google. Work at Facebook. Work at Palantir. Heck, work at Phillip Morris or Exxon Mobil or Halliburton. But don’t you dare be proud of it. And don’t you dare tell me you’re working to bring about a better world for everyday people. Don’t you fucking even dare.
@fribbledom you must be on GitHub. ;-)

The Google v Oracle ruling will be hugely consequential for software development. Even if the Supreme Court finds fair use, that may be small comfort for startups that can't afford to litigate to protect their right to reimplement APIs https://www.forbes.com/sites/martingiles/2020/10/07/supreme-court-google-and-oracle-api-software-case/#23adea3b592c

If you like, use or even produce Podcasts, you should read this. And you should demand podcasts to be available via RSS. Having a show locked into Spotify or audible is _not_ a podcast. You're just handing them your audience for free.

@stephaniewalter@mastodon.design :-) People should do this when they work unpaid overtime as well. It would at least give you a nice paper trail that shows both you and the company were aware of the amount of extra exploitation involved.

@stephaniewalter This is a great idea! I wonder though about the tax implications. Would the receiving organization have to pay taxes on the gift they received from you? Any experience with that?

@purism While fixing #convergence related issues in #phosh, #phoc and the kernel for the #librem5 I wanted things to be more automatic. So #phosh can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), #squeekboard gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:
Question for all those who normally work in an office job away from home, but also do work from home on the side: with COVID-19 making you do your office job at home, do you find it harder to work on the side job?

Introducing: Fund Your App
Vote for the mobile phone apps you desire to see working on the #librem5 phone!

"Fund Your App is a great way to show how far we have come with the Librem 5 and PureOS, it also allows people to vote on what is our app development priority."
@Phaserune I agree fully. My FOSS developer philosophy is: If you want something done under your time constraints, then pay me, otherwise it'll get done under my time constraints. GOOD software meets functional requirements, ease of use requirements, and ease of maintenance requirements. This takes time.
The "many eyes" fallacy is continuously getting worse with the additions of new languages and libraries.

@dallin @purism Yes! I'm right there. Unfortunately the job part is hampered by my lack of an online open source resume. i.e., contributions to open source projects that "matter"( i.e., use same technologies for same purpose (3GL programming for debian (etal), gtk(etal), popular Linux tools, etc.)) Developing such a resume requires time aside from my day job, side job, and family time requirements. (And of course sleep and recreation.)
