When I was being interviewed by @killyourfm , he asked if I was innodated with people reaching out for support after giving away so many laptops.

Not at all. And in fact, the most common message I get is like this.

That's right. A literal grandmom who is successfully using a #nixbook with zero issues to enhance her life.

All on a computer that was headed to the garbage.

Thank you #linux and #nixos and #foss in general.

So, turns out the @EUCommission consultation for an EU Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy was the 2nd most popular consultation in the history of DG CNECT.
Happy reading @HennaVirkkunen and the folks at CNECT.
Many of us in #FOSS are quite curious what you’ll come up with.

The recordings of the matchmaking sessions for the @EUCommission 's Open Internet Stack open calls are online. There were lots of interesting people giving brief presentations about their current work and plans for the call. The sessions were hosted by @EC_NGI
If you are interested in applying to IOS but could not make it to the session, the recordings are a great way to find people to build a consortium with.

@_elena #YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.

I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.

It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

We hope you're enjoying the new features in #LibreOffice 26.2! Here's a look behind-the-scenes at what the developer and QA community did in January: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2026/02/11/qa-dev-report-january-2026/ #foss #openSource #freesoftware

@strypey

That last paragraph is actually the most potent argument I have seen against #vibecode in #FOSS

And I speak as a vibecode practitioner.

As to pluralistic.
I have huge respect for his past work, but I think he, like many who don't actually use AI is way off the mark and increasingly drifting further off it as the tech advances.
His "reverse centaur" is just laughable (to me) and "asbestos in the walls" assumes a world of Butlerian Jihad and that IMHo is higly improbable.
But as well as an activist he is also an author and no once can accuse him of not working to satisfy his audience.

Its a bit, like a vegetarian writing about steak cuisine.

But, thanks for curating FOSS, it's a rarely appreciated duty.
