Reminder that:

• A desktop platform is much more than just a kernel (in particular, "Linux" is not a desktop platform)
• A desktop platform provides much, much more than a window server connection
• If someone creates a GUI application that only uses a kernel, or a kernel and a window server connection, there's no way it's going to be native for the platform

If you’re a developer, you care about accessibility, and you’re looking for something to work on, consider helping out with Jitsi.

Reasons we can’t use it for EU events:

- No support for simultaneous translation
- No support for sign language interpretation
- Other #a11y issues

And actually test the process of recovering from backups...

I have seen a business lose critical systems when it turned out their "backups" only filled one dvd... and left an essentially unrecoverable open file...

#PSA
Dear users of phones, tablets, computers, cameras and other instruments which contains data that might be important to you.

Make fucking backups. For the love of what ever you believe in. Copy your dearest and most important files and or documents somewhere else that in case one device goes *poof* you have something you can get back to.

And please, please, please do it regularly.

You will thank your future YOU later.

Titular: El software "open source" GnuCash acaba de anunciar su versión 4.0

Madre mía titular con "open source" y GNU en la misma frase!! 🤦♂️

@cassidyjames the big lesson, that is often counterintuitive to hierarchical companies, is that giving up ownership and control in exchange for participation delivers better results, lower cost and more happy people. Weird ;)

@jwildeboer And I’m saying this having worked on projects on both sides—upstream and downstream. Working with the upstream, contributing directly means you actually get a lot of pull within the project, while also ensuring your needs are considered in future development.

We have seen companies forking open source projects and add features that didn’t go upstream. And how they learned the hard way that this approach means they now “own” their fork and have to support it.
