RE: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/115849772521760098

It’s worth repeating. Android is not a viable base for an independent or even just collaborative operating system. Android is Google and only Google’s project.

If you want to see an actually transparent, international, and collaborative system on phones, support @postmarketOS

⚠️ Digitale Souveränität in Gefahr?
US-Behörden können unter bestimmten Umständen auf europäische Cloud-Daten zugreifen – auch bei Microsoft. Fachleute warnen seit Langem vor genau diesem Risiko.
Umso unverständlicher ist die Ankündigung, Bayerns Verwaltungen umfassend mit Microsoft-Lizenzen auszustatten.
Angesichts der aktuellen globalen Sicherheitslage ist eine kritische Neubewertung der IT-Strategie dringend erforderlich.
Statt neuer Abhängigkeiten braucht es jetzt eine Stärkung europäischer Anbieter und echte digitale Souveränität.
👉 Hoffnung bleibt, dass Bayern diese Entscheidung noch einmal überdenkt.

Some people in the #Python community seem to have some people upset at the PSF taking money from Anthropic. This baffles me a great deal because one of the biggest issues facing the OSS community in general is that big companies make their money from the hard work of the volunteers who build the OSS. This is a company - yes, a somewhat distasteful one but, IMO, no worse than Amazon, Google, or Meta - giving back to the community. This is what we are asking for.

I haven't followed Thunderbird Pro development super closely, but it *looks* like they've locked in a price. Is this a new detail? At any rate, I'd definitely pay $9/month for a hosted Thunderbird email plan with 30GB of storage, 15 email addresses, and 3 custom domains. (The 300GB of Send Storage also feels fair).

Great work by @jcs.org for a HUGE improvement to #BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Speed- will be in the next release but did a quick pre-release build with his branch if you want to try it out today!

> The result of all that debugging is a 691% speed-up in #EtherTalk speed when going over BlueSCSI Wi-Fi - via jcs

Oh and @twvd already merged these fixes into SnowEmu for a much faster experience there as well!

I wrote a blog about some thoughts I had on modern day #opensource

There used to be the Cathedral and the Bazaar, but now we have Megachurches also

If we look at many of the things that started out in the Bazaar but got big and needed infrastructure, they didn't build cathedrals, they built megachurches

Have you paid your tithe this year?

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).
