I'm quite happy with my Youtube

@lovizio @noybeu I think it's good to have a variety of approaches. Different organizations tackle different sides of the problem.

@thibaultamartin Interesting read. What I want from a software project is that its purpose is solely to benefit those who interact with it, and that it fulfills its purpose. Licenses are an important way of protecting such projects, but in my view, an OSI license alone does not make a project free software.

@zbrown Yep.

Huge thanks to whoever made the react-confetti package for allowing me to add the confetti and still get up in time for school this morning

Congrats to the #OpenStreetMap community! Here's to the next 100M changesets!

@ebassi This looks awesome!

I got one more change in for GNOME 40: better tab completion in the file manager! It's bothered me for a while now, so I'm especially excited that I got to improve it: https://www.jwestman.net/2021/02/17/files-tab-complete.html

Huge thanks to @antoniof_gnome@twitter.com
for reviewing this just in time for the release!

Oh, I think I see why. I'll delete and re-draft
