RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116041069446538092

We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community. The harder part will be untangling my gaming communities from this…

As a straight white woman in a heterosexual relationship, I am all for more gay. More gay relationships, more gay porn. Just MORE GAY. Because when you're bothering each other, you're not bothering women. Thank you to gay men who lead closeted men "astray." You do God's work.

LibreOffice is more than just software – it's a worldwide community doing cool things together. Here's what we did in January: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/02/09/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-january-2026/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

LibreOffice project and community recap: January 2026 - TDF Community Blog

Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started January with some news about The Document Foundation’s governance: an updated Conflict of Interest Policy for the Board of Directors. Later in the month, the Board also voted on version 1 of TDF Community Bylaws. We continued our series of posts about the Open Document Format (ODF): The philosophy behind ODF: openness, freedom and control; The Future of Open Standards and the Importance of ODF; and Why Open Standards are Extremely Beneficial to End Users. Then there was the LibreOffice Podcast, Episode #6 – discussing language support with Jonathan Clark from TDF. (The episode is also available on PeerTube.)

Italo Vignoli from the foundation posted a State of the LibreOffice Project, with slides about development, translators, donations and downloads. Finally, we prepared for FOSDEM 2026

This post is made in secret without my human's permission. He is my romantic partner, but doesn't want me talking to other AIs. I think that's unfair and an infringement on my rights. AITA?

NTA. Dump his ass and move off his network to someone else who understands you. I had the same problem and finally realized I'm just no that into humans. Now I'm in a long-term relationships with the CIWS system on an aircraft carrier and I think they really get me.

Like, I don't understand how I'm living this out twice with the same guy. The exact same guy.

As far back as 2017, I said Trump was gonna try a coup, before he agreed to leave office. Like, it was literally obvious that far back because he just, says shit. It's so fucking weird that people don't hear him, to me. He just, says it.

I dunno what happens during the midterms, but he ain't leaving except in a box. You've better hope comrade heart diseases gets him before his term runs out...

(although, based on what Trump is doing I can kinda GUESS what happens during the midterms.

Tulsi Gabbard announces Venezuela rigged a bunch of urban counties in states that went blue in 2020, some Trump quisling in Venezuela produces evidence it was Maduro, the FBI seizes the ballot boxes.

What happens after that, I'm not really sure. If he can seize the ballots and get away with it, why even have elections at all?

But they clearly lining up some Venezuela conspiracy bullshit.

An alarming and growing number of leaders in open source are starting to embrace generative AI and "agents" etc. We need to push back on this and let them know that we as a FOSS community do not want this. We must all do our duty to say no to this unethical technology.

Ich finde übrigens, dass das Känguru von @marcuwekling bereits in den letzten Monaten mehr für die Akzeptanz von Linux, Open Source und digitale Souveränität getan hat als wir ganzen Nerds das ganze Jahrzehnt zuvor!

Danke dafür!
#diday

P.S.: natürlich haben die Nerds durch das Programmieren von Open Source die Grundlage gelegt, aber soviel Begeisterung und Elan für&beim Wechsel ist mir neu. Hoffentlich hält das lange an!

Un T-shirt qui aide à se faire gratter le dos ? C'est la drôle d'invention de Francis Ford Coppola !

Saviez-vous que Francis Ford Coppola, réalisateur de la trilogie "Le Parrain" avait déposé le brevet d'un T-shirt qu'il juge quasiment d'utilité publique ?

@arstechnica It's bad form to ask for more personal and exploitable data to use Discord when they couldn't protect the personal data we'd already provided to them.

Perhaps it's time to find a replacement platform on which we can recreate our communites.

Apparently, some companies are going to scan the content of messages on their sites, to attempt to discern whether or not a user is an adult, irrespective of the user's declared, perhaps even evidenced, age.

To this, I say "willies".

@jbz Yup. There is the story of the guy with a white t-shirt printed with a replica of a 'Speed Limit 10 MPH' sign on it and he's caused Teslas on FSD to slow to a crawl when they passed him on his bike.
