I’m James Spencer, Royal Incoherence, sorry, Royal Correspondent for the BBC. We’re outside Buckingham Palace today as a small but vocal faction gather outside the gates amongst growing pressure on The Royal Family to answer the question on everyone’s lips: cream, or jam first on a scone? For time immemorial, there has been not the North South Divide you are used to, but a East West divide, a bitter battle between Devon and Cornwall on which goes first: a dollop of clotted cream, or a hearty helping of jam? Many look to The Royal Family (Rest in peace Diana, gone but never forgotten, mother of William [darling Husband of Angelic Kate] and Harry [traitorous bastard who married that black American]) to end this bitter feud that looks set to erupt into Civil War. We’re told an official communique should present itself at any moment, as the official Royal Family Twitter (known now as X) account teased a reveal earlier this morning. Back to you in the Studio.

Hiding behind humour and sarcasm to run away from everything is wayyyy too easy for emotional masochists.

Just realised I'm about to have my first aut-girl summer.

As I scroll through the "explore" tab I've begun blocking anyone I see who posts "hilarious" art from the plagiarism machine. Wish I could one-click-block anyone who boosted or liked it as well.

My best friend is named Twilight Sparkle, one of my former roommates is serving life in prison, I live in a city that has two valid names for use in addresses, I've had an interest in philosophy since I meditated too much while playing VR rhythm games, I'm one of the top thousand patreon creators globally, I design my APIs using protocol buffers, and I write so much on my blog that it's a logistical problem."

some people say their wedding is the happiest day of their life, or the birth of their child mine will be the day my boy dog gets neutered 😭

nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it. sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free

adhd people so great and fast at autocompleting they start wondering whether they're actually conscious

@flameeyes@mastodon.social Hrmm I'm not sure I agree. Many big tech cos are allergic to the obligations of AGPLv3 because they're afraid of having to release their otherwise proprietary software. But there are plenty of companies who work with and extend AGPL'd software... there are no blockers to me as an individual as there would be with proprietary software.... and it conforms w the Four Freedoms and Open Source Definition. IMO the problem is with big tech and proprietary software, not the FOSS license.

"AGPLv3 is not free software" is a take I did not expect to run into among *checks notes* software freedom enthusiasts.

🥰 I have a client who pays me on time *every* month. 😡 And every single month I have to remind them to pay the VAT. I suspect I will not keep them as a client for much longer.

Phanpy now has a version of https://cohost.org 's best feature, and it works with your existing Mastodon/Fediverse account https://indieweb.social/@laurenshof/111997146906858162 TLDR: You follow 40 people, but the people who post infrequently tend to get their posts flooded off the TL by high-volume accounts such as me (mcc) asking cursed C# questions at odd hours. Wouldn't it be cool if you could get the best elements of a sort-by-last-post view and a sort-by-account view in a single screen? (See screenshots at link.)

When I started writing and publishing open-source software about 15 years ago, I was pretty radical about it. I only used permissive licenses like MIT or BSD, as all I cared about was reach. Using a copyleft license with strings attached seemed to hinder that reach. Getting another A-category company

“Open Source Economics” and the “Open Source Economy” are regularly discussed in the context of how to improve open source software’s sustainability, contributor diversity and ecosystem quality. Too often, though, the use of the word “economics” brings incorrect assumptions about the problems to be solved.

Bruce Perens is angry. A veritable Jeremiah amid a throng of open source Pollyannas at OpenUK's State of Open Con 24 in London, the co-founder of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) and the Open Source Definition, railed against what he sees as corporate capture of the movement he helped to kickstart.
