RE: https://mastodon.social/@Blender/116482997785333001 Reputation is one of the most valuable things any social project has. It can inspire people to do great things together. Money is, *waves hand*, helpful; but just a thing. It's not valuable in itself, only in what things it can be transacted to get people to do for you. If you trade inspiration for transactional power, then you no longer need to lead people, just money. And money just isn't as valuable as people. #Blender #PayForFreeSoftware #FOSS #OSS #FreeSoftware #funding

The power of open source: I've been using the official Mastodon iOS app ever since I joined because I need no feature the alternatives offer. But the most recent version completely broke the image viewer, with no fix in sight (there is now an issue at least https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios/issues/1546) It took me about 2 hours and a few rounds with Copilot to check out the code, revert to a previous version, make it compile and install on my iPhone (should have taken 5 minutes but I'm no iOS dev). #Mastodon #OSS

#AI has now "progressed" onto publishing personal attacks on #OSS maintainers as a result of them rejecting PRs https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/posts/2026-02-11-gatekeeping-in-open-source-the-scott-shambaugh-story.html This technology is really making the world a better place....

"Damit verändert sich auch, was ein Open-Source-Projekt überhaupt ist. Es wird nicht mehr als sozio-technisches Gefüge wahrgenommen, in dem Code, Dokumentation, Community und Finanzierung aufeinander bezogen sind, sondern als bloßer Datenlieferant für nachgelagerte Systeme. Das Projekt wird unsichtbar, während seine Produkte weiter zirkulieren." #oss #slopification #llm https://www.leitmedium.de/2026/01/09/das-drohende-ende-von-opensource-projekten-durch-llms-am-beispiel-von-tailwind/

@dhry@mastodon.social You're a fan of obsidian but hope there is no #OSS web workalike?

Mitä tapahtuu Linuxille Linus Torvaldsin jälkeen? Nyt siirtymälle on vihdoin luotu selkeä, yksityiskohtainen suunnitelma. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/01/30/mita-tapahtuu-linuxille-linus-torvaldsin-jalkeen #Linux #LinusTorvalds #oss #uutiset #avoinlahdekoodi #teknologia #tekniikka
