  1. Open standards shape critical digital infrastructure. But the people implementing those standards are often missing from the processes that define them.

    In a survey of over 150 #OpenSource #Maintainers, we found strong interest in standards participation and specific structural barriers to sustained engagement.

    Learn more about what maintainers told us, and how the new #SovereignTechStandards network aims to close that gap. Applications are open until 19 May 2026!

  6. #OpenSource: Free for You, Profitable for Them.

    OpenSource means: #software where the #sourcecode is freely available and often costs nothing. Sounds great, but there is a catch.

    #Companies like #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon fund large #OpenSource #projects not out of #idealism, but because they build profitable #cloudservices on top of them and pocket the money.

    Small #developers who charge for their work barely stand a chance against "free". Yet thousands of hours go into these projects. The #maintainers, the people who keep these projects alive, often work unpaid until they hit #burnout.

    #Free does not automatically mean ethical. It is often just convenient.

  11. I am so sick of maintaining LinkAce right now. The only feedback I get is stupid security vulnerabilities and why features are not being implemented.
    I am just one click away from archiving the whole damn project. 🤬

  21. The register is reporting that a bunch of major tech companies are throwing some parking meter money at Linux to "Fix the AI-slop"

    Its worth a note at least.

    theregister.com/2026/03/18/lin

    Not sure how to react as::

    - No Shit Bat-persons !

    - This is not unlike the Nasty Orange Bloke paying a billion dollars into the "Fib Jar"

    - - Its not nearly enough to cover the bullshit, but it does do a nice job of "green washing" the brand...

    - It acknowledges the "problem".
    (fucking disaster for Maintainers ... at least. )

    - One chaps chump change is another's path to economic lock-in ...

    -- Still , hopefully, they get way more than they pay for.

    The Register cover it beter-er.
