Burnout in the FOSS community is real, and I'm glad that it's something that is being talked about more in blogs and conferences. There is a different flavor of burnout and emotional toll when you are sacrificing for a cause you believe in (especially in FOSS where people are often working for free or at below market rate). Working for a cause you believe in brings the highest highs when things are going well, but the lowest lows when they go badly.

I so much want to use this #Hexo theme but translating site with Google Translate is making it hard lol. Can anyone here help me with it ? #Foss#Theme#WebDev
The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁
Let's not squander it!
A sold out#PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.
Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.
Whoops! Flathub wasn't enabled in our UM40 builds from yesterday!
New images have since been pushed, and this should be fixed in any new installs. If you're still having this issue, you can try this to fix it sudo dnf install ultramarine-repos-extras
If the issue persists, let us know in one of our chats, or file an issue
Think I need to start planning for a total free software future. Been using Windows 10 for work and because it’s tolerable. Changed to VS Code because it’s a very good lightweight IDE. This #Recall spyware has forced me to conclude that #Microsoft have turned evil. I was optimistically naïve to think they might not be, in hindsight. So, must look to changing to Linux Mint everywhere, and getting my #NeoVim setup perfected. (May revisit #Helix, if it has a tree view now). As for Apple.. hmm.
@M0CUV to get back on topic: kudos for considering #FOSS software stacks. #Linux Mint is a great choice! Helix replaced neovim completely for me, but that probably comes down entirely to your workflow...
Another #LibreOffice feature you may not know about! You can add a navigation panel for switching slides while viewing a presentation. In the menu: Slide Show ▸ Slide Show Settings ▸ Show navigation bar. (Added in LibreOffice 7.6 😊) #foss#opensource
I might have to rethink my stance on "#GPL all the way".
Due to the highly scriptable nature of the #FOSS static site generator that I'm building, site code (or even entire sites) may fall under copyleft, and that's not what I want. I've had a look at the #LGPL, but for my use case, it still sounds too strict. I'm also not keen on writing my own license exception, and I doubt it'd keep enough protections to make GPLing worthwhile in the first place. So I'm afraid #Apache 2.0 is my best bet?
I'm so damn sick of Discord being the platform where so many projects (FOSS and otherwise) do their community, collaboration, and support. That app is a confusing hot mess and gives me anxiety every time I open it.
Neben diesem Blödsinn, dass bei #FOSS Projekten Community und Support über #Discord geführt werden, ist der andere scheiß #Reddit. Wie ich diese scheiße Hasse. Wir haben als FOSS-Community genug tools entwickelt, die ohne diesen Blödsinn auskommen und rennen dann trotzdem zu diesen Proprietär-Affen....
