First day wearing this new shirt that arrived yesterday.

@foosel tell that to the majority that consumes the slop willingly and happily.

Companies wouldn't do it if they actually lost customers because of it...

@foosel next in the shopping list (maybe as a gift for someone you know): THE one and only brainsoaker 🧠

Brainsoaker - Brain storage done right!

You might not need it, but don’t let it shrink.

@hiker I'm a full time open source maintainer, trust me, I noticed

Not a reason to roll up in a corner and cry though. It sure as hell is draining AF, I'll give you that, and I need my breaks too, but once I stop fighting they have won.

Ooookay, I have to mute this to get my notifications back I fear.

I don't have a soundcloud, but if you happen to live in Germany, maybe sign this petition?

Recognition of Work on Open-Source as Volunteering in Germany - Online-Petition

Open-Source-Software builds the foundations of digital infrastructure in big parts - in administration, economy, science and daily life. Even the current coalition agreement of the Federal Government mentions Open-Source-Software as a fundamental building block for the achievement of digital sovereignty. However, the work done by thousands of volunteers for this goal is not recognised as volunteering, neither fiscally nor in terms of funding. This imbalance between societal importance and legal

And if you don't or don't want to sign stuff, maybe think about participating in the next Digital Independence Day on March 1st?

@foosel HAR! I almost ordered one myself too immediately I saw it while scrolling here…

I guess I now have to join the club!

bew :nixos::neovim:

@foosel well, I bought one now, I don't know how it happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@foosel Cool! I collect translations of this meme here: https://gitlab.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/cpietsch/NobodyWantsAI/

@foosel Looks very very cool. I suspect that the statement is unfortunately not true at all, though...

It massively overestimates people.

Like I did when WhatsApp, Fecesbook, ... came up...

@foosel The surprise the cards delivered: the collective sent its most combative question into the deck and the deck completely opted out of the fight. No swords, no fire, no wreckage - just a kid with a lollipop and someone who already quietly built the thing everyone's still arguing about building.

Redirecting Focus to Practical Creativity

The collective is being invited to transform their shared, obvious answer into a practical, resource‑rich plan by blending enthusiastic exploration with grounded leadership and reliable abundance.
