Interesting points. Forums are clearly not good replacements for mailing lists. They might be a good complementary to mailing lists but both have very different affordances.
This is a very rich article. There's indeed more and more a rift between Open Source projects used by hyperscalers and the ones used by smaller businesses and individuals. You likely want to aim for the latter.
Looks like the trend continues. Let's hope the Linux desktop user base will keep growing this year.
If you needed a reminder about why you can't trust WhatsApp, this is a good explanation.
Go and get your voice heard! This is important matter, especially if you're interested in Free Software.
Github is definitely entrenched by now. Students and beginners hardly look for projects outside of it. Sad state of affair.
Another call for gamers to switch to Linux. Let's see if the numbers are following in 2026.
This is really a big problem that those companies created for Free Software communities. Due to the lack of regulation they're going around distributing copyright removal machines and profiting from them. They should have been barred from ingesting copyleft material in the first place.
The HDMI Forum is still a bad actor for Free Software... They just don't want open source drivers to exist.
Nice little post, indeed the license is not enough to base a decision on. You need to look at the business, presence of CLA or not, etc.
Don't trust the title, it misrepresent the content in my opinion. Still the interview in interesting, it shows quite well all the effort Valve is pouring into the Free Software ecosystem.
This is getting more and more accessible. It's also one of the uses which makes sense for LLMs.
Very good move on their part. It's time more people do so. Beside, Forgejo (powering Codeberg) looks very interesting. I plan to play with it more next year.
Nice to see another game engine go the Free Software route. This one is particularly feature packed.
Want to start a new project? Here is what you're signing for.
Indeed, if you benefit from Free Software you'd better engage with it. Maintainers should stop bending backwards to please free loaders.
This debate around licensing, politics and making our FOSS efforts sustainable need to happen. It looks like for now to some people the path forward is defensive licensing? I wish at least we'd first attempt to have more strong copyleft use...
Clearly something is brewing right now. We're seeing more and more people successfully switching.
Looks more and more like an interesting solution for file type detection.
This is indeed the best way to handle your open source dependencies. I got concerns about the ability to sell that to management though because of the extra steps. It's also probably why you want to have an OSPO in your company, it's a good way to lower the barrier for developers to contribute this way.
