I think the same problem with representation among #Wikipedia entries is pervasive among #FOSS projects as well - including the #Fediverse :

Contributions are done by those who have sufficient free time to work on such projects, which usually means having a stable, comfortable existence. Thus, the majority of contrirbutors tend to be white men - and they bring their own biases with them.

This is a problem - while the concept of the Fediverse is great, our user base is not very diverse. #Twitter in the old days blew thr Fediverse out if the water, in this regard at least.

We need to include a lot more different people for the development of the Fediverse, from all over the world, instread of the crowd if largely white Europeans and North Americans we have now. Yet how can we include them, if the expectation is that the contributors should work for free - something much harder to do if you _don't_ have a stable source of income and a job that gives you sufficient free time?

does anyone know any good #foss fontmaker programs?

For example this is Let's Encrypt, Tor and F-Droid.

We just upgraded from @phpunit 10 to 12, without any issues. Thanks @sebastian and other contributors for making these upgrades so smooth!

@ben This is one of the reasons given by #RedotEngine for forking #Godot:

"Over the years, we've observed Godot drifting away from being truly community-driven. They still claim to be, of course, but their actions suggest otherwise: over 3000 of community PRs remain unaddressed on GitHub, while corporate interests appear to have growing influence over feature development and bug fixes."

Der große Open-Source vs. Big-Tech Vergleich.

#openSource #BigTech #FOSS

Reminder: if you want to join us for the virtual #Libre / #FOSS meeting, we're just start up at https://meeting.iridescent.nz - official start 20:00 until we all get tired and log off . Feel free to dip in and say gidday.

J'ai découvert il y a peu @domainepublic, une ASBL (Association Sans But Lucratif), équivalent de nos associations loi 1901 . C'est une sorte de CHATONS belge (je ne sais pas s'ils en font partie ou même si une structure en dehors de l'hexagone peut faire partie des @ChatonsOrg). Ils font plein de belles choses avec les logiciels libres : #Nextcloud, #BigBlueButton, #Mattermost, #PeerTube…

Attending KubeCon EU 2025 in person was an energizing reminder of why open source matters, not just for the code we write but for the community we build.

This year's KubeCon was pivotal in building momentum for the next decade of cloud-native development.

Projects like Kueue, Volcano, Karpenter, Keda, and Apache YuniKorn are rapidly advancing Kubernetes' scheduling and autoscaling capabilities, enabling it to intelligently manage diverse workloads - from AI/ML to HPC and "traditional" microservices.

The community's focus is shifting from observability to controllability - from watching systems to dynamically shaping them at runtime. This paves the way for exciting progress in areas like cost-effective and carbon-aware orchestration.

Check out my recap here:

Mesa 25.0.3 Grafiktreiber veröffentlicht, mit zahlreichen Bug-fixes.

Was ist ein Mesa Treiber auf Linux?

Mesa ist eine Open-Source-Grafikbibliothek, die auf Linux-Systemen verwendet wird, um Hardwarebeschleunigung für Grafikkarten (GPUs) zu unterstützen. Sie bietet Implementierungen für verschiedene Grafik-APIs wie OpenGL, Vulkan und OpenCL. Mesa ermöglicht es Anwendungen, 3D-Grafiken effizient zu rendern, indem sie direkt mit der Hardware kommuniziert. Die Mesa-Treiber sind besonders wichtig für die Unterstützung von Grafikhardware, insbesondere für GPUs von Herstellern wie AMD und Intel. Sie bieten nicht nur grundlegende Grafikfunktionen, sondern auch erweiterte Features, die für moderne Spiele und grafikintensive Anwendungen erforderlich sind.

I installed an extension called #HideTopBar, and it forced me to acknowledge that I'm slowly turning Gnome into OSX.

Fine. That's what I'm doing.

But I'm doing without giving a single nickel to Apple, so there.
