In 2021 I gave a talk about “openness” briefly tracing the history from the Free Software movement, #GNU, and OSS, to open formats like XML and ODF, then to the #FreeCulture and #OpenData movement like

A US journalist friend mentioned the #artillery incident to me yesterday.
I can’t find anything at all about it in Australian media. Nothing. I’m a little shocked, to say the least. What else are we just not getting?

Jimmy Fallon's career, reputation, and legacy is determined by what he does tonight.
He can't just talk about it.
He can't joke about it.
He has to end his show in protest and solidarity for free speech, expression, and the rule of law.

Sometimes when I go to the swimming pool it's fun to jump in the deep end, sink to the bottom (a whole 2 metres down) and hold my breath for 15-20 seconds or so. It's so quiet and peaceful that for a moment you can forget everything.
But this, this is completely unimaginable. A new world record has been set for free diving - Alexey Molchanov has swum down to 126 metres (and back up again!) and held his breath for over 4½ minutes.
My mind is completely and utterly boggled. Not to mention my lungs.

Content warning: cautionary tale: removing free tiers that people rely on
"After 18 years of providing free, production-ready container images to millions of developers worldwide, Bitnami was effectively ending its free tier. ...
"Hock Tan doesn’t do interviews about his strategy. He doesn’t need to. His pattern is so consistent that VMware employees were updating their résumés before the ink dried on the $69 billion acquisition deal ...
"His formula never varies. Buy a company with sticky enterprise customers. Fire thousands of employees—VMware alone lost 2,900 employees by December 2023, according to CRN and The Register. Kill the free tiers and small-business offerings. Jack up prices by 200%, 500%, sometimes 1,000%. Then use the cash to fund the next acquisition. ...
"For two decades, developers built an incredible ecosystem based on sharing and mutual benefit. Bitnami alone grew to over 4 billion downloads annually, according to their own statistics. But that era is ending. Not with a bang, but with a pricing page.
"In its place, we’re getting a new model: enterprise software as hostage situation. Build your infrastructure on our platform. Integrate deeply. Depend completely. Then watch as we turn the screws, knowing you have no escape."

🤚 Free Saturday
👉 Saturday spent working on Free Software
Highlights from #Gentoo:
• #Gemato is now compatible with #FreePG and mostly compatible with #SequoiaPGP chameleon.
• Prepared patches to support FreePG and SequoiaPGP chameleon as "gpg" symlink providers.
• #FlexiBLAS is now enabled by default on ~arch.
• Finally finished working on #PkgCheck check for missing #PyPI provenance checks.
• gpy-list-pkg-impls now includes "does this package have tests?" state, can optionally include PythonCompatUpdate results from PkgCheck and output mIRC colors. In other words, our IRC bot will now tell us when dependencies let us port new packages to #Python 3.14, and whether these packages have tests.

Yesterday I finally managed to close my account on #Vercel . I was hosting some stuff for free, so I was costing them money instead of giving them anything, but I still don't want to depend on them in any way.
But to the point, I just checked the online conversation about them... and I'm sad to notice how quickly people¹ forgot that Guillermo Rauch was very proud of sharing time with Benjamin #Netanyahu. He was so proud that he decided to share that moment with the entire world, so he showed us how little he cares for human rights, dignity and decency.
That's why I deemed necessary to remind folks about this serious contention point and inspire them to look for alternatives.
1. Including people who seem to care about these topics, which makes me think that the information didn't reach them in the first place. Let's help them know.
