VS Code heading for Github codespaces only? From one of the original developers:
"..If I think about this process like an amplitude, we had large swings in either web or desktop direction, but we are getting closer to converging to just web as the solution for everything."

Darktable is a fantastic FOSS alternative to Adobe lightroom.

If you want it, find it. If it doesn’t exist, make it. If you don’t know how, learn. (https://victoria.dev/neofeed/b61c9824-edfd-46ee-a901-467184f81c03/)
I don't know if you're on here, Willi, but this was an excellent walkthrough post of changing #btrfs subvolumes in #fedora:

@unl0ckd This seems completely reasonable to me. Politics aside, institutions of great wealth and privilege, like universities should contribute back to the society that makes them possible. Also reasonable would be using the great wealth to rebate back to the students that are now mired in student loan debt.
Washington Post (aka Jeff Bezos' blog) suggests that instead of taxing the weatlhy, we should tax charities and academic institutions:

Gutted to hear the news over the weekend that Dan Kaminsky has suddenly died at 42 https://www.theregister.com/2021/04/25/dan_kaminsky_obituary/
He did some great things and saved the internet in a few occasions. A huge loss.

Does anyone have a write-up handy for how to choose which #foss, #privacy, or other passion projects to support to maximize overall impact?
I'm thinking something like https://www.effectivealtruism.org/ but for foss impact...

Hey, fellow developers!
When you announce a new version in a toot/tweet/post, please, do not hesitate to put a couple of words on what the project does.
I'm really glad to know that "X" has now "Y" support but it's kinda a useless info if I don't even know what "X" is.
I really would appreciate it. Thanks!
