Just had a #DogWalkFlashBack to '94, the week I first arrived in Aotearoa. I installed Linux for the first time, on my desktop computer (486 dx2 66MHz, 32MB RAM, monitor was 800x600 pixels, common at the time). I remember the giddy feeling of realising that I had actual real multi-tasking, and I could log into my system from outside the Lincoln Uni campus. Plus I could log into my old account at UW (Seattle) & from it back into my desktop. Heady days. People came from all over campus to see it.

30 years later, I still feel fortunate every day to have this embarrassment of riches that is #libre | #FOSS | #openSource (I vastly prefer #Copyleft) software, & that I've been been able make it a viable, even prosperous careers. Because I know that if I can do it, others can too! More details: https://davelane.nz/my-open-history

Given the plethora of at-least-as-good #libre messaging platforms (see Matrix, Rocket.Chat, Zulip, Mattermost, NextCloud Talk, etc.) that aren't

  • exploiting your data,
  • pestering you to pay more,
  • reducing 'free tier' features (to get you to pay $),
  • blocking integrations you want,
  • failing to live up to their security promises, or
  • simply being painful to use.

Why does anyone bother with MS Teams, Salesforce Slack, or Discord? Just doesn't make any sense to me.

Kids repurposing/revitalising old hardware with software (KDE!) for people on modest incomes. https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/02/22/rhode-island-teens-are-fixing-junked-computers-and-learning-valuable-tech-skills/72340312007/ We should see this sort of programme at every secondary & tertiary institution. It's a huge learning opportunity for all involved, and great for the planet, too!

Lots of projects are MIT licensed. Why?

Which additional licenses would you suggest to release a project under?

Here are my favourites, what are yours?
