Stumbled onto this on Reddit..I mean, these are good questions 🤣
If AI is all it’s cracked up to be, why am I still hand-deleting so many cold emails selling things I don’t want?

This post makes a terrific point that the one thing the #opensource community doesn’t seem to want to iterate on is the set of licenses defined as “open source”. And, why no widespread accepted code equivalent of CC-BY-NC?

(Whether I agree with every single word here is irrelevant btw)
Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
Open Source Power
We have to talk about open source licensing.

WHSmith rebranding to TGJones is ridiculous. I think they were forced to rename after the high street shops but not the travel outlets were sold, but they either should have also licensed the brand, or taken the opportunity to do something different. What the have just looks shoddy and second-rate ☹️

Not going to name and shame but I’ve already been shown a bit of booth design at #kubecon where the most charitable interpretation is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

@abangser.bsky.social is a natural on the #kubecon keynote stage. Great choice as the newest co-chair!

What to do when #kubecon travel issues lead to a talk cancellation? At #CiliumCon we’re lucky that 🐝 @tgraf.bsky.social was available to step in and do an AMA hosted by @breakawaybilly.bsky.social 👏

Nice visualisation from @hemanthmalla.bsky.social of how looping in #eBPF programs has evolved

Really cool performance improvements from the introduction of @cilium.io Endpoint Slices which reduces load on the #kubernetes API. Nice talk from @microsoft’s Tamilmani and Shreya at #CiliumCon

Wifi at GWCC sucks for everyone or just me? #kubecon

Seems I'm not the only one saying that #opensource is free like a puppy - an analogy I in turn got from @mauilion.dev 🐶
To vet open source software, evaluating the business model, funding and governance behind projects you depend on is essential for business continuity.

Just discovered, for the first time here on Bluesky, someone who has blocked me. I accidentally learned this because they interacted with someone I follow, and I was curious who they are. I wouldn’t have been surprised by this on the old place, but genuinely a bit put out! 😢

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term
