  O bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand And the more I think on you the more I think long If I had you now as I had once before All the lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore. O bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree For it stood on your shore for many’s the long day ‘Til the long boats from Antrim came to float it away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3YqCu2Y_dM #FellingTheGreatOak

  👏 This is what it looks like when a FLOSS institution takes a moral stand against so-called "AI" LLMs. Software freedom and the commons of public goods it enables needs protection ... now more than ever. It's a shame that there haven't been others (yet) to step up with this type of unequivocal stance. But there's still time for those who consider themselves leaders in software freedom to get on the right side of history. https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-comm...

  Dear devs, It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡 Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare. (I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.) :boost_love: Please boost for basic education. #webdev

  Am I reading things correctly that the #Blender Foundation Board's four members are all insiders/employees? My experience is with US nonprofits, but that lack of external viewpoints in governance seems like a recipe for Bad Decisions ™ strategically. https://www.blender.org/about/foundation #nonprofits #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS

  It would be great if someone can pull together the corollary resources for community collaboration and software development; many studies already are dine out there, and other relevant case studies are rapidly being published.
