Happy Birthday to the LVFS

9 years ago today I wrote 4 little PHP scripts and pushed it to OpenShift which was the beginning of the LVFS. We've since rewritten it in Python, switched the deployment from "sudo git pull" on the server under my stairs at home (literally) to deploying onto AWS with Terraform.

In 9 years we've onboarded over 140 vendors, shipped ~110 million firmware files and added support for ~85 firmware update protocols for ~1600 different devices. I'm pretty happy with that.

I left Adobe years ago, but many still use it.

In light of recent scandals, we felt it was time to make a video on Adobe's massively exploitive history and what to do against big tech companies like Adobe. Watch it now!

Patreon screws me over, says a big Apple did it and ran away.

Patreon has two billing models, monthly (bills on the first of the month, or whenever they get around to it) and daily (charges you the moment you sign up.) For several years now, they have...

1 year ago I ditched my Macbook, bought a Framework laptop, and moved to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.

I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck

As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.

Two-thirds of the $310 million that Kamala Harris raised last month came from first-time donors, according to the campaign.

All set up for #FOSSY24!

Come talk to us about #postmarketOS, #linuxmobile, or #systemd!

Much is being made of the fact that Philly will be Harris”s first stop on her tour with her running mate. While that may bode well for Shapiro, you know who else is from Pennsylvania?

RAIN (1932) w/ Joan Crawford and Walter Huston is now on Prime Video and Kanopy.

This is the 90th anniversary restoration, released on Blu-ray in 2022 — a vast improvement over public domain transfers streaming elsewhere.
