This is one of the best references I know on the topic. It's not that long, to the point and all developers should know it.

A reminder that reckless political decisions can have dire consequences for quite a few FOSS projects.

OK, that's a funny experiment. I don't think many people post such requests anymore.

Such a nice and responsible citizen... FOSS is about extraction for them, not giving back.

Looks like an interesting game engine. Didn't know about its existence.

This is considered standard practice at this point. The article does a good job explaining it and the reasoning behind it.

A good look at both incumbents in the web browser engine space. Still quite some way to go but the results are interesting already.

Nice post about the practical impacts of Postel's law. It's especially problematic in the case of Open Source software. Companies producing proprietary software even use that to their advantage.

Or why software patents can get in the way... You can work around them somehow, but that quickly leads to shipping binaries you can't properly check.

Interesting piece, we indeed need to move beyond from the "for hackers by hackers" mindset. I don't even think it was really the whole extent of the political goals when the Free Software movement started. Somehow we got stuck there though.

Behind the movie this is a big win for Blender. It proves Blender is viable for full length movies at this point. The movie was nice too. :-)

Early days but this looks like an interesting solution to democratize the inference of large models.

This is good to see funds being raised for those projects. Lets hope they get madly successful.

I think this is a very welcome protest at FOSDEM. This keynote would be a shame on the conference. Unfortunately I already planned to not attend FOSDEM this year, but if you are: please participate to this sit-in.

Very good demonstration of why you want open source code on your projects. I often end up doing this kind of forensics myself, this is truly powerful.

The WordPress is still unfolding... I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with a fork.

Definitely a good move, especially when we see the behavior of the tech moguls...

Very good background information on the latest attempt at discrediting Wikipedia.

Or why making a dent in the enterprise software space is hard for FOSS... The good news is, it'd require setting up whole ecosystems of services.

Nice move from the home assistant people. Such open and privacy respecting hardware is needed.
