To my mind, #Luanti/#Voxelibre (or perhaps Luanti/Mineclonia) is sort of the best "platformer" game that all #Linux Distros would do well to include in a default install (or at least offer to easily install, just like offering to install 3rd-party multimedia codecs).

There's a huge number of low-spec hardware (as in, weaker video chips) that linux gets installed onto, and Luanti/Voxelibre would still work well on that hardware. Like Voxelibre should be the new Minesweeper or Solitaire. I look at it as an achievement that the #OpenSource community got this to work at all - and with network gameplay!

A close second would be #Veloren - second only because it needs beefier video hardware (an Nvidia 1080 or better), thereby missing out on all that "lowest common denominator" business-video-chip hardware.

Contrapunctus’ Laws of #SoftwareFreedom Evangelism:

1. Monopolist [1] software will always backstab users.
2. Anti-monopolist [2] software will always be more trustworthy. [3]
3. Monopolist software will always get more investment, and therefore better features, better UX, and more marketing.
4. Users must always use and support anti-monopolist software, even when it is lacking features or has worse UX or has fewer users. (Features can be added, UX can be improved, users can be onboarded…but monopolist software hardly ever becomes anti-monopolist.)
5. If you don’t push for anti-monopolist software, monopolist software will be pushed onto you.
6. Monopolist software creates illegitimate power over its users. It must be eliminated from the world. [4]

[1] a.k.a. proprietary, closed-source, etc.
[2] a.k.a. #FreeSoftware, #libre, #OpenSource, #FOSS, etc.
[3] freedom to study = trust what it’s doing; freedom to share = trust that it will remain available; freedom to modify = trust that development can always resume, that anti-features can be removed, that features can be added; freedom to use = trust that you cannot be restricted; decentralization = trust that you can migrate away with minimum penalties; cooperative governance = trust that you can meaningfully influence the governance.

Pixelfed is choosing its mission over a quick payday.

Despite receiving major offers, the project is staying focused on building a social platform designed to last — one that can grow to 100M+ users while creating a sustainable model for creators and admins.

In a social media world driven by profit, choosing independence is a powerful statement.

Maybe the future of social media can be built differently.

#Pixelfed #Fediverse #SocialMedia #Creators #OpenSource

for all the #openSource and #FreeSoftware developers, and #indiDev types,

when deciding to whether to contribute to a project or not, do you look at the license? Do you prefer the #GPL -type sticky ones, or are you a #MIT or #BSD -type permissive licenses?

Boosts appreciated.

Immich and FUTO expose a systemic issue across consumer Open Source: maintainers need to pay rent.

If users donated a fraction of what they save by ditching Big Tech, outside backers would not be necessary. Consumer FLOSS has virtually no enterprise clients to fund development through corporate support.

So finally read the at least the Pidgin part of https://op-co.de/blog/posts/emoji_xmpp_address/ and honestly considering just dropping #XMPP entirely from Pidgin 3 and even our server.

To put it nicely, the greater XMPP community hasn't exactly been kind to us over the years and really I'm starting to wondering why we continue to give them ammo.

Since the XMPP support in Pidgin 3 is currently just a skeleton, scrapping it isn't all that crazy.

So what do you all think?

Debian is obviously a rock-solid choice for CERN. With their massive software ecosystem and community, it makes total sense why they went that route. But part of me can't help but wonder what a NetBSD-powered Large Hadron Collider would look like! ⚛️

NetBSD’s hardware portability just seems like a perfect match for lab. Plus, using pkgsrc to manage complex scientific software seamlessly across all those different niche architectures would be incredible to see at that scale.

Nothing but respect for the Debian rollout, but a sysadmin can dream! 🚩🚀

Whatever your opinion on LLM-assisted coding is, this is impressive, and in my opinion super useful. Open source replacements for 7 popular Adobe apps, including Photoshop, written in Rust. They expect to have 100% parity in a month. Over the past 20 years, I've been hearing people complain about the lack of Photoshop in Linux. Well, apparently, here it is. Fully open source and free to use. AI is powering a huge boost for open source software, whether someone wants to accept it or not.

FediSuite 2.0 is live! 🎉

Your Fediverse Management Platform

If you run several Fediverse accounts, you might know the feeling: an idea is sitting in a note somewhere, a scheduled post is in another tab, and the numbers end up somewhere else again. I wanted to bring it all together.

The new #Planner takes a post from the first idea to publication. #Drafts save automatically. In the #ContentCalendar, you can see scheduled posts by month or week and move them to another time. #Campaigns group posts around a topic or event. Coloured #labels help you stay organised without ever appearing as hashtags.

After publishing, the searchable #archive helps you find and reuse your work. You can turn older posts into new drafts, collect evergreen content and spot posts that have become interesting again.

#ContentAnalysis compares formats, text lengths, links and more. Hints based on your own data appear while you write, and the #calendar shows promising time slots. For Mastodon-compatible accounts, the new #CommunityAnalysis shows which accounts interact with your posts, who is new and who keeps coming back. #Favourites, #boosts and #replies stay separate. These are ideas to try, not promises of more reach.

There’s a lot of work under the hood, too: access tokens for connected accounts are now stored encrypted, sessions expire, and one-time links have better protection.

FediSuite is still open source, free to use, without ads or trackers, and available to self-host. The web app supports more than 20 Fediverse platforms.

Give it a try: https://www.fedisuite.com/

I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas. And if something isn’t working quite right, please tell me that too. 💜

🛠️ Tool
===================

Kav is an open-source Android application designed for navigating public transport in Israel. It provides trip planning, live bus tracking, and navigation without ads, user accounts, or analytics.

Key Features
• Trip planning with step-by-step navigation, including a floating window for tracking when the app is backgrounded.
• Live bus tracking via notification shade and Android 16 live updates.
• Offline map support. The app fetches a 176MB map on first launch and caches it locally, ensuring no tile server sees user location.
• Private search enabled by default to keep location data out of search queries.
• Departure boards, favorite places, and local backups to a .kav file.

Technical Implementation
The app is built for Android 8.0+ and licensed under GPL-3.0. It uses MapLibre and Protomaps for rendering OpenStreetMap data. Transit timetables are derived from the Israel Ministry of Transport's GTFS feed. Trip planning and live positions are sourced from Moovit.

Users install the app by downloading the APK from the GitHub releases page. The app includes a self-update mechanism. Developers looking to contribute or build the app locally can utilize the provided script tools/android_toolchain.sh which fetches the required JDK and Android SDK. The timetable data is not included in the repository due to licensing ambiguities from the Ministry of Transport, so builders must run tools/fetch.sh and tools/export_web_bundle.py to generate the necessary regional bundles.

Use Cases
This tool is primarily for Israeli residents or visitors who want a minimal, privacy-respecting alternative to Moovit. It is suitable for users who prefer offline maps and want to avoid ad-heavy transit applications.

Limitations
The app is currently distributed outside of standard app stores. While it uses Moovit's data for live positions, it does not replicate Moovit's social features or account-based syncing. Note: haven't tested personally.

New post: Laya vs Jev, ten days later 🧠⚖️

Ten days ago I benchmarked two "System One" decision models for my LLM router: Jev (TypeSafe, hosted) was usable as-is, Laya (open weights) zero-shot was not. Laya's README says "fine-tune me", so I did, on a 16 GB M4 MacBook.

🔁 Laya 0.3.6 → 0.3.24: 18 releases, but the weights are byte-identical. Same numbers.

🆕 New open rivals on my 80-prompt bench:
• Laya typed-decisions: 71% topic, but never confident → over-provisions everything
• Von 1.3: closest to gold out of the box (48%), but over-confident
• Kev-0.8B: 81% topic, 100% multilingual, very under-confident
Jev 1.13: 89% topic, 72.5% same route as gold, still the only one usable as-is.

🎯 Fine-tuning Laya on my own labels (not Jev's: distilling Jev is against TypeSafe's terms):
• 480 labelled prompts → 1,920 training items
• official Apple Silicon script, MPS
• 41.5 min for 4 epochs, 15.4 GB peak memory
• rule of thumb: ~6 s per labelled prompt

Results:
• topic 59% → 85%
• complexity 45% → 72.5% (= Jev)
• risk 31% → 69% (> Jev)
• but 0% confident answers 🙃 → a temperature fitted on held-out data (T=0.87) fixes it
• same route as gold: 20% → 64% (Jev 72.5%), routed cost $1.28 vs Jev's $1.35

Caveats in the post: same labeller for train and test, tiny groups, and it under-provisions 9 prompts vs 3 for Jev.

🏠 Then the reality check: I replayed 80 real Home Assistant decisions (VMC, shutters, water, watering) through Jev and stock Laya.
• Laya English answers ~0.5 to everything, and cuts 64/80 requests (512-token window; my prompts grew to 1–1.9k tokens with history)
• Laya multilingual says "yes" to almost everything, including "normal" (0.97) to a night-time leak 💧
• Jev in the house: VMC disagreements with the rule went from 100% to 6% once it got history. Half a cent per day.

So the house stays on Jev. The local path is clear though: fine-tune on my own feedback labels, not on Jev's answers.

Things have been very quiet here over the last few months, for various reasons: summer, vacation, health, and also because I’ve been watching developments around the world.

And, of course, especially what’s been going on in the Fascist States of America. And since the arrival of the dumbest president (not just in the U.S.) of all time—the sexist, racist, fascist, and brainless, uneducated moron with the cognitive development and vocabulary of a five-year-old - Donald Trump -
nothing good has ever come of it. The whole world sees it, except for the Americans. For the most part, they believe the bullshit their president lies about and stirs up.

This is also because the U.S. tech bros like Musk, Zuck, and radical evangelical-fascist leaders like Thiel exploit the president’s intellectual shortcomings for their own agenda. And that agenda is the subjugation of free society under AI-driven tech fascism.

Somehow, despite all my efforts, I was always dependent on US tech to a very small extent. Whether it was Fedora for Linux, Pixel phones for GrapheneOS, or even a few remaining Google services like YouTube. But now that’s over! Even though Fedora worked best out of all the Linux distributions, after much consideration I’ve decided to make a complete and permanent switch to Debian. Partly because I hope that, unlike other distros, Debian won’t integrate AI.

And even if I’m going to upset a lot of Americans right now by picking on their God-sent president—that’s what the whole world (except the U.S.) thinks of Trump. No one takes him seriously; everyone laughs at him. But like a criminal mafioso, he’s blackmailing the free world. Well, he is one, after all.

I hope for the sake of the U.S. and humanity that the country can free itself from the stranglehold of this radical evangelical fascist gang of Republicans and Trump in time, before it’s too late, and that the world will thereby become a better place again.

just blogged: the #inventree ecosystem - a first peak at a large and onging data collection effort to better understand the current InvenTree ecosystem. The goal is to have better data on how we can evolve the plugin interface and what foes wrong when building plugins.

https://mjmair.com/blog/2026/the-inventree-ecosystem-plugins.html

At some point this data will also be made avaiable, still looking into the best wy to identify which plugins are intended to be pblic and safe enough to be "advertised".

Got the honors to help testing LittleFedi, an #opensource project by @stefano and a very interesting one!

Why? Small, focused, no clutter, simplicity, easy to use. Also, Stefano is a great person and used the feedback he received to make it even better.

If you want to set up your own Fediverse instance, then this might be the one to start (and stay).

So do follow @littlefedi_official and visit the website https://littlefedi.org/ for more information.

One of the things I’m really excited about in Parch Linux is GameHub, our all-in-one tool for managing game launchers and #Proton.

We’re working on a feature that I think will be especially useful for people who #LinuxGaming: simply search for a game by title and see how well it runs on your system.

Instead of guessing whether a game will work, digging through different compatibility reports, or installing it just to find out, GameHub will give you that information right where you need it.

It’s still coming soon, but I’m really looking forward to seeing this become part of the Parch experience.

And as always, it’s being built by the #ParchLinux community, with #FreeSoftware and user freedom in mind.

Parch Linux Hyperland has been released by the Parch community, and I’m proud to say that the Parch project in Iran has, at the very least, managed to bring a new generation of young people interested in technology closer to #FreeSoftware and its philosophy.

This entire edition of Parch Linux was developed by young people under the age of 20. And honestly, this is the only Parch edition where, as the main maintainer, I simply acted as a supervisor and didn’t actually write or develop anything myself.

Unlike many other distributions that ship with #Hyprland and tend to be highly #opinionated, Parch takes a different approach. We want to give users a clean and flexible starting point rather than imposing a specific workflow or philosophy on them.

We’ve also published our monthly report covering the past month, where you can read more about what the Parch community has been working on.

You can find it on the #ParchLinux blog. :)

🛠️ Tool: e2e Open Source AI Testing Framework
===================

e2e by TesterArmy is an open-source end-to-end testing framework designed for web and mobile applications. The framework allows developers to describe a testing goal in natural language, and an integrated agent drives the application to achieve that goal. Results are then verified using standard locators and assertions within the same test script.

🔹 Key Features

The primary feature of e2e is its ability to record agent steps. When an agent step is verified by a subsequent assertion, the framework records the actions taken. On the next run, e2e replays these recorded actions without making any model calls until the application changes. This significantly reduces the cost and latency associated with AI-driven testing. Additionally, tests that do not include agent steps require no model at all. Users can bring their own subscription, API key, or local model.

🔹 Technical Implementation

The framework is composed of several npm packages. The core e2e package provides the SDK, runner, and CLI. For web testing, @e2e-dev/web offers a browser engine supporting Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit through Playwright. For mobile testing, @e2e-dev/mobile provides an engine for iOS and Android simulators and emulators using agent-device. There are also packages for GitHub pull request reporting (@e2e-dev/github), hosted browsers (@e2e-dev/kernel), and hosted simulators (@e2e-dev/eas).

The CLI sends anonymous usage data, including which commands and engines run and where runs fail. It does not send test content, app content, or credentials. Users can opt out using npx e2e telemetry disable or the E2E_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 environment variable.

🔹 Use Cases

This framework is suitable for teams looking to automate end-to-end tests without writing extensive boilerplate code for every UI interaction. It is particularly useful for testing complex user flows, such as checkout processes or workspace upgrades, where defining exact step-by-step UI interactions is tedious. The natural language approach allows testers to focus on the goal, while the agent handles the navigation.

🔹 Limitations

The project is currently in active development on the way to version 1.0. The developers note that APIs and configuration can still change between minor releases. This means early adopters should be prepared for potential breaking changes as the framework matures. The documentation ships offline with the e2e package, which is useful for coding agents working in restricted environments.

I can advise the following @fdroidorg apps. Some apps need an additional repository.

* Aegis Authenticator (my preffered 2FA app)
* AntennaPod @AntennaPod (best Android podcast app)
* Breezy Weather (weather app for weather nerds)
* Bubble (IMO the best spirit level/ruler app)
* Celestia (another astronomy app)
* Compressor (suburb video compressor. get those Mastodon video's below 100MB on the road! (or rails) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo.
* Convertor NOW (because those Yankees refuse to use the metric system)
* DAVx @davx5app (best way to link Caldav calendars and Carddav contact books)
* FairEmail (email app for power users. yes, you need to pay a very small fee for pro features)
* Fennec or IronFox (two great Firefox forks) - IronFox needs its own repo: https://ironfoxoss.org/download/#f-droid)
* Fluffychat (IMO the best Matrix client - also for the Linux desktop)
* Fossify Calendar (simple and no bloat. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Contacts (simple, non bloated contact apps. works great with DAVx)
* Fossify Gallery (my preferred media gallery app, better IMO than the /e/OS default)
* Fossify Messages (simple, non bloated SMS app)
* Fossify Thank You (to donate to the great Fossify project and also with some small extra features)
* Heliboard (IMO best open-source keyboard. hopefully with native gestures ASAP)
* Image Toolbox (this is a power-house to do everything with images - has a learning curve, but it is great!)
* Joplin @joplinapp (best note taking app, better than Nextcloud Notes, because it's end-to-end encrypted)
* KDE Connect (link your phone with your KDE or Gnome (using GSConnect) desktop)
* Lawnchair @lawnchairapp (my preferred Android launcher, because the default /e/OS launcher sucks)
* LibreOffice Viewer (official app to view LibreOffice, OpenOffice and even MS Office documents (if you are into that).
* LibreTorrent (to download Linux ISO torrents on your phone for fun)
* Material Files (a non bloated file manager)
* Metrolist (to play music from YouTube without an account - good alternative for evil Spotify)
* Moshidon @moshidon (although it badly needs an update. the nightly is not yet ready. I still use it, with the web-app installed for quote posts)
* Nearby Glasses (hunt for Meta pervert glasses, but unfortunately not yet found) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nextcloud News (needs a Nextcloud account)
* Nextcloud (only if you have an account on a Nextcloud server)
* Next Player (simple, non bloated video player) - needs IzzyOnDroid repo
* Nora (great way to sandbox big-tech sites)
* Open Video Editor (the only working open-source video editor for Android, although it is not updated for two years)
* OSMAnd~ (IMO the best @openstreetmap app for Android, although it has a small learning curve)
* Peertube app @peertube (does not need an explanation)
* Pixelfed app @pixelfed (for if you have a Pixelfed account)
* RadioDroid (still IMO the best internet radio app, although not updated for three years)
* Signal @signalapp (I don't have WhatsApp, so you need something 😉) - needs the Guardian Project repo (you only need to toggle this in the F-droid settings)
* Sky Map (the open-source sky view alternative)
* SpamBlocker (because I have an ungoogled phone (/e/OS on Fairphone) I need this. maybe you as well. @murena should build this in, because this app is not very user friendly)
* Torrent Search (to search for Linux ISO torrents)
* Vegan Inspector (checks if products are vegan or vegetarian)
* VLC (does the same has Next Player, but with a (IMO) ugly interface. I keep this installed as an alternative if something doesn't wants to play, but I can't remember when I needed it. get rid of the orange!)
* Voice Audiobook Player (the only one that actually worked with local files)
* Wallabag (Pocket alternative, needs a Wallabag account on a Wallabag server)
* Wikipedia (who doesn't need Wikipedia)
* YTDLnis (download video and audio from YouTube and many other sites using yt-dlp)

Keep the Why is now available as a Pi package 🎉

Install it with:

`pi install npm:keep-the-why`

Same open Agent Skill, now directly installable through Pi's package system.

The project rationale stays as Markdown in Git. No database, no daemon, no account, no cloud backend.

RFC 1122 defining the TCP/IP requirements for Internet hosts was published in October 1989 https://cromwell-intl.com/networking/protocols.html?s=mb #IPnetworking #OpenSource #Linux

Most agent memory adds another database, service or vendor account.

Keep the Why is FOSS and Git-native.

The why behind decisions lives as Markdown in the repository. Git handles versioning, reviews, permissions, forks, merges and distribution.

No database. No daemon. No cloud backend. No second source of truth.

A rejected solution stays rejected, and the next coding agent can already know why.

🛠️ Tool
===================

Piik is an open-source, private screen sharing tool designed for sharing games, movie nights, drawings, and photos with up to 20 viewers. Viewers can join via an invitation link and watch directly in their desktop or mobile browsers without needing to install any software.

Key Features
• Browser-based viewing: Friends join via invitation and watch in desktop or mobile browsers.
• Flexible sharing sources: Hosts can share a screen, window, browser tab, or camera. Available sources and audio depend on the platform.
• P2P-first media: Media travels directly between participants where possible. A self-hosted server can provide automatic media forwarding (SFU) as a fallback.
• Room management: Invitations, room codes, and optional room passwords for one host and up to 20 viewers.
• Single binary hosting: Web UI, room management, and optional media forwarding are packaged together for self-hosting.

Technical Implementation
The tool emphasizes direct P2P connections for media transmission. If P2P is not viable, a self-hosted Piik Server on a Linux x64 server can act as an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) to relay media. The server packages the web UI, room management, and media forwarding into a single program.

Use Cases
• Hosting private movie nights or game streaming sessions for small groups.
• Sharing drawings or photos with friends in real-time.
• Providing commentary over shared media using the built-in microphone support.

Installation/Setup
To host, download the Piik App, extract and open it, choose Public invite, then Open Piik to create a temporary room. Alternatively, advanced users can deploy Piik Server on a Linux x64 server with their own domain.

Note: Tool not independently verified.

GCVE BCP-05-X-03: Bringing Vulnerability Handling Timelines into Vulnerability Records.

Vulnerability records usually provide a good description of what a vulnerability is, which products are affected, how severe it may be, and where additional information can be found.

They are often much less effective at describing what happened, when it happened, and who was involved during the vulnerability handling and disclosure process.

Following many discussions during VulnOptiCON 2026 in Luxembourg, this limitation became particularly clear. Vulnerability analysts, coordinators, vendors and other participants repeatedly discussed how difficult it can be to reconstruct a reliable timeline during vulnerability analysis and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

To help address this, the GCVE initiative has published a new extension:

GCVE BCP-05-X-03 - Vulnerability Handling and Disclosure Timeline.

The extension provides a structured and machine-readable way to represent the lifecycle of a vulnerability from discovery and reporting through acknowledgement, validation, remediation and public disclosure. It's already live in our open-source tool-set.

GCVE BCP-05-X-03 - Vulnerability Handling and Disclosure Timeline. Overview.

DigitalOcean has just announced the closure of their #OpenSource Credits Programme. For us, this initiative served as a way to acknowledge the software we provide that they rely on.

For many years, the programme enabled us to offer public services and host infrastructure for testing and training without charge.

We are sorry to lose it, yet we appreciate the period during which it was available.

Well, since I have presented it in a talk just now, I made as well "announce" it: my colleague Daniel and I started a company (small-business style, no investors) to commercialize open-source test and measurement hardware related to (flow) batteries. Been getting a crash course in French/EU business administration 😵‍💫. Not to mention a cease-and-desist for our original name 😬, hence our very not startupy, lawyer-friendly 20th-century vintage name:

"Smith and Fernandez Laboratories" (aka SANDFLABS /s)

We are currently working on CE certification of some equipment we plan to offer, and have already worked with universities and research institutions in multiple EU countries.

More details in time, I will certainly be posting about our progress. I am still doing battery R&D of course, but have been held up more admin than normal lately!

"Poptimism and stan culture were a mistake

Rick Beato was right and re-defined music's purism, elitism, snobbery, and gatekeeping (and rockism).

The Loudness War has ruined music and audio/sound quality. Dynamic is the new Loud. When there is no quiet, There can be no loud. Spread awareness and stay awake about Dynamic Range Day. Dynamic Range Database exists. It'll never be high fidelity and audiophile quality if the loudness war still continues.

Lossless Audio and Hi Res Lossless Audio (24 Bit, 48 kHz Lossless) should be the standard and normalized. We need to leave MP3 and lossy codecs/formats and lossy compression to the past and end it. Another step for high fidelity and audiophile quality.

Support royalty-free libre open formats/codecs like FLAC, OPUS, OAC or open source. Oppose patent and proprietary closed source codecs/formats.

PNG, JPEG XL, BPG, AVIF should replace JPEG/JPG and HEIF

AV1 should replace H.264 and H.265
Metroska MKV should replace MP4

Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) and Blu-ray Disc Audio (BD-A) should replace Compact Disc (CD)

I have just started using a tool called difit ( https://github.com/yoshiko-pg/difit ). This tool allows me to review my local diffs before ever pushing them to GitHub, in an interface similar to GitHub's pull request interface. When using agentic development, this is one of the most amazing tools I've seen so far. I can actually go back and forth with comments (just like on GitHub), refining the work in progress. With the optional agent skills, I don't have to push, open a pull request, and manually take things back to the agent. It's all integrated.

If I have a complaint about it, it's that once I clicked the "viewed" button, a subsequent update to the file does not undo that click and expand the file. I have to do it manually.

Even without agentic development, I'd have to recommend this tool. It's a phenomenal way to do a final local review before publishing any of the results anywhere. Seriously, check it out. It's already earned its place in my toolbox, and is going to stay there for a long time.

Let me get this straight.

Digital Ocean paid 2 million dollars to fund that rich racist's Linux project.

But it has started pulling out support of open source projects that got tiny fractions of that for their functioning.

I'm never paying Digital Ocean again.

This is very bad news. Owncast has relied on this program the past couple of years, and has allowed us to have servers and services we wouldn't normally afford to be able to do otherwise, especially now with Gabe being unemployed.

Any other cloud hosting providers want to step in and help all the open source projects that are going to be in this position?

Additionally, this might be a good time to show your financial support for Owncast.

Hello, We're reaching out to share an important update regarding the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program. DigitalOcean has decided to sunset the Open Source Credits Program. As part of this change, we are no longer accepting new credit applications or approving credit renewals, extensions, or additional credit requests. If you currently have Open Source Credits that have already been granted, those credits will continue to be honored according to their existing terms and conditions. No action is required for your existing credit allocation. Additionally, the dedicated inbox for the Open Source Credits Program will stop being monitored as part of this transition. For any further questions or assistance, please submit your inquiries through our standard support channel: https:// www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/support We appreciate your participation in the DigitalOcean Open Source Credits Program and the work you do to support the open source community. Thank you for being part of the program.

I got a PineTime #OpenSource smartwatch to monitor my heart rate on hikes and bike rides. I've had it for a couple months now. I like it a lot, and it's an amazing deal. Finding an app to record heart rate was the hardest part, but it turned out OsmAnd, already my favorite Android mapping app (#FOSS and uses #OpenStreetMap), does a great job.
