Patrick Breyer (patrickbreyer)'s status on Monday, 07-Oct-2019 15:49:53 CEST Patrick Breyer The European Parliament @EP_Technology is acting like a representative of Microsoft or Apple in blocking the installation of other software on work computers: https://netzpolitik.org/2019/eu-parlament-verwehrt-abgeordneten-die-installation-des-messengers-signal/
I have no choice but buying own laptops for all staff to allow them to run #freesoftware. -

Michael J. Gratton (mjog)'s status on Saturday, 28-Sep-2019 07:58:18 CEST Michael J. Gratton βRecently we've seen people raising two very different concerns around existing licenses and proposing new types of license as remedies, and while both are (at present) incompatible with our existing concepts of what free software is, they both raise genuine issues that the community should seriously consider.β
β Do we need to rethink what free software is?

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Monday, 26-Aug-2019 09:23:04 CEST Sheogorath π¦ When you want to contribute to a free software project it's often enough to just have a look at issues and support questions. Try to reproduce the issue and offer help. When you run the software yourself anyway, it's a good training to learn your way around it and fixing and optimizing your own setup will become easier.

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Thursday, 11-Jul-2019 11:57:20 CEST Sheogorath π¦ So the discussion around #Tusky is still ongoing. To answer the questions once and for all:
No, blocking something in your software doesn't make it non-free. By definition the LICENSE is not allowed to restrict usage in order to make it free software. The software itself can always do.
Yes, blocking instances is still an anti-feature. By definition an anti-feature is an explicitly added restriction which has no technical reason but a user might act in order to get rid of it.

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Friday, 31-May-2019 22:00:44 CEST Sheogorath π¦ Did you know, that I pushed CodiMD 1.4.0 last night? Still noticing the lack of sleep. But it seems to be a good release and not merging some of the PRs and instead moving them to 1.4.1 was the right decision.
Enjoy it :)

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Thursday, 30-May-2019 22:02:50 CEST Sheogorath π¦ I'm really happy to see freeCodeCamp switching away from Medium to Ghost:
I was running before I switched back to static websites. For people who prefer a lightweight blogging platform with a nice web interface, I highly recommend it.
You might also consider switching, given you have a medium blog:

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2019 18:31:34 CEST Sheogorath π¦ π€ Somehow the more GitHub gets into those integration things, the less I like it.
Package registry, donation platform, github actions for CI/CD, β¦
Sounds like all eggs into one (proprietary) basked to me. Please make sure you don't lose to it.

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Tuesday, 14-May-2019 19:49:34 CEST Sheogorath π¦ Did you know, that the "source code" link at the bottom of CodiMD will not just send you to our git repository, but to the exact commit this server is running?
This can help you to figure out what version of CodiMD is running there and what repository it was build from.

Sheogorath π¦ (sheogorath)'s status on Tuesday, 07-May-2019 21:03:59 CEST Sheogorath π¦ By the way, if you wonder what I do when I'm not working for companies or on CodiMD or consulting in infrastructure projects: I work on free software and since I had to switch away from Octo.sh to my own GitLab I decided to slowly open source them again.
Current status: Half of the projects are open source again, feel free to check them out:
