In one of my apps, I'd like to ensure that users are running with the latest version, and recommend an upgrade if they aren't. Is that type of "telemetry" OK? Code is #OpenSource so it'll be easy to verify that it only calls GitHub to compare current version vs last released. Conditions:
Nothing is "sent" other than a GET request to GH to get latest version.
No data is collected — I don't even run the server.
Extremely excited to share my team at NVIDIA is hiring for a full time role working on ✨ open source Python packaging projects ✨ like Warehouse, pip, and more!
If you are or know someone excited about open source Python development, especially focusing on open source packaging projects, please take a look! And if you have any questions for me, please reach out.
In this one, we have Linux Mint deciding to hide unverified Flatpaks by default (but not apps from the repos, also unofficial?), we have KDE asking you to help them define their goals for the next 2 years, and we have the atrocious Windows recall being already hacked, and Microsoft backing down, making it disabled by default, and adding some security layers (because unencrypted databases are rarely a good idea)
Gary is organising OggCamp this year, so we wonder what makes the perfect Linux and open source event. Plus why we don’t use multiple partitions for home and swap etc.
Wrapping up a very productive GNOME design call… about accent colors! We addressed every single blocking topic and have a clear way forward. I don’t want to promise anything specific (especially timelines), buuuut it’s looking good to me.
I might write up a blog post to summarize the direction once we sort some of the little details out. But there’s a pretty good consensus across half a dozen or so people doing the work—harder than it sounds. 😅
it’s a little disingenuous to refer to #LLMs as #opensource because you can really only open source an LLM in roughly the same way you open source a microprocessor — RISCV is open source, the plans for it anyway, but it still costs millions to riff off it and make your own custom version, same with LLMs. that’s not exactly what open source was going for

🆕 blog! “Can you follow your own getting started guide?”
I was trying to install a new open source project and was having a hell of a time. Nothing seemed to be working despite me following the tutorial to the letter. I was getting the most bizarre error messages and was on the verge of quitting to become a goat farmer, when I threw one […]

I try now #Logseq and this is #OpenSource and I would like to like it but somewhere I can't manage to understand and use it. I don't just want to write down my thoughts and #ideas, I also want to be able to check off a #todo list… 😐
The Thunderbird story is an epic of countless individual stories, coming together to make something bigger than themselves. We're sharing those stories in a new series, and our first spotlight is on one of our amazing Bugzilla volunteers.
