Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.
We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.
Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.
We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/
Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

Good catch @aral! #Google does like free and open source, but only if they can exploit it.
Quote: "Google believes that open source is good for everyone. By being open and freely available, it enables and encourages collaboration and the development of technology"

Really? Then Google should be open to #AGPL licences—which they notoriously hate: opensource.google/documentatio…

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!
This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.

Please only sign the petition if you're a legal resident of Germany.

Do you have ideas about funding Free and Open Source technologies? Consider submitting a talk for the 2nd edition of the Funding the #FOSS Ecosystem devroom at #FOSDEM. The Call for Participation is open until December 1, 2025.

This is why the OpenBastard team needs to do more community outreach and not just commit more PRs
Thanks those who shared this satire:

IMO, only paragraph missing was:
> “3 hours/week, my company lets me upstream code to their favorite MIT-licensed #FOSS project! That counts. Of course, in exchange, I have to post on y-combinator how bad #copyleft is & file a #GitHub ticket telling some #AGPLv3'd project to change licenses. Oh, & all the best patches with new features stay on our internal branch…but *I* fixed all typos & misspellings upstream!”

In my new article "The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition" I discuss the key role of the Fediverse in this political and cultural climate... and argue that digital sovereignty and the ability to self-host are now more important than ever:
