"We are out of money to support Ukraine in this fight", says the director of the Office of Management and Budget in a letter to leaders of the US congress.

This is where we are: Ukraine could face serious setbacks — not because they make bad decisions, but because The Republican party has helped Putin turn Ukraine into a US political fight.

Shame on the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson who is using the freedom of 44 million people as a political bargaining chip.

Time for some annual holiday artsing!

I'm still struggling with convincing-looking beards, which is why I'll keep doing them. :)

Friends, if you follow me you probably understand why is important and maybe also are a @conservancy Sustainer. Part of the reason we are able to do so much (GPL enforcement! @outreachy FOSS advocacy! Fiscal sponsorship!) is because we spend our time actually doing the work, and little time on fundraising and marketing. If you're not a Sustainer, would you become one now? If you are, can you ask a friend to sign up? <3

Me: (clicks "heart" on a post)
Poster: Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?

I was involved with Radicle back when it was just starting out, but bowed out when the project started smelling strongly of crypto-token BS.

Thankfully, it would appear that they have abandoned that, so perhaps it's time to take another long look at Radicle as a distributed git forge platform, especially now that it supports issues and patch reviews.

> He took a moment to thank Konstantin Ryabitsev for the b4 tool, which has made life much easier for maintainers; the attendees responded with applause.

It's true, it happened, and it felt super good. 🥹

OK, down to two. I must confess that I will pay little to no attention to this poll when making my final decision. :)

Everyone, when picking laptops: "what's the resolution, battery life, RAM?"

Me, when picking laptops: "I just want the 'fn', '\' and '~' buttons in some sane place and a touchpad with good palm recognition that wont make the cursor jump all over the place when I type."

Geordi,

Do you know why the holodeck is not able to create a Charizard for me to battle? I wish to fight one directly.

Dear Europeans. The last time we tried fascism, it failed really horribly. This time it's not going to be any different.

I mean you could take this seriously until you remember that he called out Zuck to a cage match fight and then backed out by getting his mom to tell the internet that he hurt himself
