The "apolitical", "we should just focus on the code!", "FOSS is not political", "inclusivity is discrimination!" people need to get kicked out of FOSS projects. Fuck off with your "apolitical" nonsense.
#Firefox 125.0.2 is out now to revert the new feature that proactively blocks downloads from potentially untrustworthy URLs as it caused unexpected problems with downloading files in some situations. It will be re-enabled in a future release once it works as expected! https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/125.0.2/releasenotes/
Isn't this the best day of the week to share your favourite #Libre#opensource#freesoftware ? Yes it is! 🤩 This is #LibreMonday 🚀 ! Use the hashtag, no need to respond this post 🥳
I am pleasantly surprised that @kde Itinerary handles Indian railway tickets very well. I kinda knew it would, but I'm still surprised at how well it does.
it seems that local technical #meetups are on life support in many cities. the news about #womenwhocode really set me back this week knowing the impact they have had on many women in the industry.
i would love to hear some positive news about groups that meet regularly that are thriving. link me!
The #Kitchener#Waterloo Linux Users Group @kwlug is still going strong. Although they're looking for folks to make presentations on #FreeSoftware and related things. Remote presentations are welcome, one of the few good things to come out of the pandemic.
Must be coming up on the #KWLUG 25th anniversary soon, too!

You can sometimes meet me at open source events like the @jdll next month where I'll be presenting 0 A.D. a project for which I was the project leader for a few years.
Looks like the #XFCE#screenshot tool will soon have that awkward "Upload to #Imgur" option dropped. Good riddance! I never understood features like this one, especially when it goes to a #proprietary service.
I see a lot of talk about "privilege" as if in disgust of those having "spare time" to help others. And I get it. Privilege is stacked in layers. From the low state of lying in a ditch dying, up and up, right to Mars where billionaires live.
Was I privileged when I quit job, started doing community work? Hell yes! Frugal lifestyle saw me some savings in the bank, most now gone.
From then on I was also sacrificing. Burning privilege at the altar of the Commons to shed my sins of individualism.
