Some weeks ago the Linux Foundation introduced a VERY, VERY INTERESTING tool on their website: the "Insights" platform. The idea is basically that it should be the El Dorado for understanding the #opensource world.

I've dreamt of something like this existing for ages 🧵

The EU has published guidance on the AI Act, ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redi

Notable highlights for me:
* Llama definitely fails to qualify as #OpenSource for exemption purposes, para 83 makes that clear.
* Monetisation that does not affect the availability of software freedoms (e.g. optional support) does not count against the exemption (para 88) - hopefully also applies to the CRA.

More highlights after @jmaris is back from holiday!

Over here locat is crucial in the terminal arsenal of programs.

Just as the vitality of Bram Molenaar's VIM which I need to write fluently,
I use a set of vital functions that are always inserted in the sh. I always need to have lolcat along with me for the ride.

Sometimes the third Line Function is just not enough to highlight the output

I have tried Home - hydrus network no mobile app


GitHub - pinry/pinry: Pinry, a tiling image board system for people who want to save, tag, and share images, videos and webpages in an easy to skim through format. It’s open-source and self-hosted. no mobile app

I switched over fully from Mac/Windows to #linux I believe back in 2022. I was worried that it would be a time sink and destroy my artistic process. While I did have some initial distraction with tinkering and learning new things, I think I've benefited from the quiet space of an #opensource operating system.

#TIL about the #OpenSource Maintenance Fee;
The concept is genius!

Free source code stays free, but downstream users (esp. corporate) who can afford it pay for maintenance.

That supports maintainers and keeps projects alive.

A plugin is exactly that.

You don't need to install it but there's nothing stopping you from developing your own.

And in the spirit of open source Joplin devs are allowing it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Unless I'm missing something that you might like to express further?..
