Open Letter to Apache OpenOffice: Today marks 20 years since the source code to OpenOffice was released. And today we say, LibreOffice is clearly the future of the suite (see the timeline). Let's all get behind it, for the benefit of all users: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl

Fitness, running 

5k - me plus 20 lbs

Thanks to everyone who supported wounded warriors today.

@sean it's ok to have a day or a week or a month when you didn't exercise to your fullest. You still exercised. That's like a ton better than not exercising, which was the other option. So good for you!

When you exercise often some days will suck. Some will be great. You didn't do something wrong, so don't let yourself get down on yourself. Persevere. Hang in there, as the cat says.

I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for a while now:

#OpenCuts, the open crowdsourced user testing suite

open-cuts.org
gitlab.com/open-cuts

OPEN-CUTS is a web-tool to help #OpenSource communities with user testing! The goal is to allow even inexperienced users to easily report test results for new software releases. OPEN-CUTS then aggregates and compares the metadata across versions to identify regressions.

Yay, this week I spoke to official devs on the Ubuntu and Debian project and it seems my Aparapi Library will be in both mainline Debian and Ubuntu package managers soon!

Go / :opensource:

@null so common. My androids don't either.

It also feels like there should be a built-in app that dumps video/audio immediately to a site shared with specific contacts. Like - if I get in a bad situation of a variety of types, I want to be able to hit the power button three times and dump some info to my loved ones.

@hackers_gifs put the ballasts under manual control! (Undertones of: why do I have to be the only one thinking of these things around here?!)

@claudiom@mastodon.sdf.org love that you have the hackers script down there. I mean, that looks like tmux, so we already knew you were leet. But now we know you don't die like the rest when you mess with the best.

It's kind of funny in retrospect that the programming language whose mantra was "There Should Be Only One Way To Do It" featured two separately maintained, incompatible, versions of itself for 11 years.

Some of the concerns addressed here are the same met by the EU . It's time for some better privacy protection in the US. If this is actually a problem it is broader than these two Chinese companies.
