RT @opensourceway: How to build a Flatpak https://t.co/3O5qzJArlx https://t.co/wxqov8373H tweeted by @FlatpakApps

I just donated 25$ to GNOME to fight patent trolls. And so should you! It doesn’t happen offen that someone rejects the settlement and wants to go through courts to get it invalidated, including filing a counter claim so they can’t just drop it.

"On Recent Controversial Events" -- from Bradley Kuhn's blog http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html

Important read: Bradley Kuhn no longer #FSF director: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html

His thoughtful post reminds me, FSF has a separate class of voting members. Did #RMS resign as a voting member or just as dir/president? It's unclear.

Per the bylaws, the voting members are effectively "in charge" of the organization because they are the ones who name the board of directors. https://static.fsf.org/nosvn/fsf-amended-bylaws-current.pdf

I'm working on something that makes it easier to monitor the apps on Flathub and one of the things I wanted is runtime usage graphs.

Today is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It's the day of self-reflection and atonement, and on this day, shooters around the world have targeted Jews.

When I say my people are under attack in large and small ways, this is no exageration. Please don't be part of the hatred towards Jews, and be mindful of the micro-agressions that we face and listen when a Jewish person tells you that something is antisemetic.

If you care, please pass this along.
