Watching Dune 2 as it was meant to be experienced by the director: on my phone, in the back of a cab in Manhattan, on the way to the airport.

.@geerlingguy made a video that I think covers 'open source companies' better than most: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNcBk6cwim8

Some things I'd like to add:

• A lack of CLAs don't protect against permissive licenses being swapped out
• Please don't berate maintainers for using CLAs (as long as they're clear and upfront about it). Just don't contribute
• I'd wager most bait-and-switch or rug-pull scenarios are 'suits' seizing an opportunity rather than long-going strategies
• "Freeloaders are part of OSS" ❤️

If IBM decides to merge Terraform and Ansible, would that be Terrible?

sellorm, 27 days ago to random

IBM buying Hashicorp truly is the final nail in that coffin.
#OpenTofu for the win, I guess!
It does make me wonder if all this will have a chilling effect on new open-source adoption where projects are not affiliated with an umbrella like the Linux Foundation or the Apache Foundation or whoever. #RememberCentOS

h/t @Meyerweb

A TikTok reaction video that has had some text overlayed. A person (labelled "me watching React devs") watches someone else's hand put a series of shaped blocks into shaped holes. The holes and shapes are all basic and recognizable: square, triangle, circle, etc. The holes are labelled after HTML elements: "div", "button", "li", "table", "input" and "a". The hand takes a square block, which is labelled "generic block content"; The person excitedly says "square hole" (which is labelled "div") and is excited when that's where it goes. The hand then picks up a longer square block (labelled "element group"); the person also gets this one correct (also goes in the div hole), and is excited. The hand then picks up "tabular data"; the person wants it to go in the "table" hole, but no, the hand says it goes in the "div" hole as well. Person gets increasingly upset as blocks labelled "list item", "perform an action", "user input", and ultimately, "a hyperlink" all go in the "div" hole, and not the more appropriately shaped holes/elements that they are correctly calling out, each time, at the end – when "a hyperlink" goes into the "div" hole instead of into the "a" hole – almost though tears.

If you're asked to sign a CLA and/or copyright assignment before contributing to a FOSS project, refuse, and make a hard fork of the project instead.

Take direct action for free software.

Cool interview with Eben Upton from Raspberry Pi. TL;DL(isten):
CM5 is coming; RPi M.2 adapter is coming soon; Pi 500 is a possibility; RP2040 is powerful!

When it comes to #RaspberryPi IPO I'm... cautiously neutral on the side of sceptical? Something like that? It might cause some good short term results (more money from stakeholders = better products) and it might cause total enshittification in the long term. But it's not that "a little nonprofit company sold out to the big guys", it's much more complicated than that. We'll see. @geerlingguy made a great summary of the current and possible future situation of Raspberry Pi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrhE6MnGi1A

watched @geerlingguy's MNT Reform review today in the mnt hq with my colleagues @theawesomerandomness and @holo_memory. thank you for this very well made and balanced review, it had a bunch of edge-of-seat moments for us :D and i'm motivated to polish some of those last rough edges.

a comment on price: the base model with a311d is "only" 1199 EUR in our shop. theoretically you can plug in your own SSD for 50 bucks. we'll probably also lower SSD prices further as we have new sources.

btw i am quite excited in anticipation of @geerlingguy mnt reform review video—but haven't watched it. yet. saving it up to watch with my colleagues tomorrow in the office.
