Bye bye, Windows 10! Microsoft is stopping support for the operating system today. If you're still using it, now is a good time to consider alternatives such as Linux, which is free and open source (like LibreOffice): blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10... #endof10

If you’re so new to tech that you didn’t know Microsoft owns these things then you’re also too new to tech to have a negative impression of Microsoft as a developer.

#opensource is a better alternative to closed software, it’s more reliable, iterative and secure, but from top to bottom, funding is unreliable, and major corporations put undue pressure on developers and maintainers, so let’s change this, youtu.be/0XqwXj0Rrx0

#opensource is broken, we love it, we maintain it, but the lifestyle around it can be a burden, we made this film with @drips.network to try and highlight the discourse but also the love that exists The Broken System of Open Source (And How We're Fixing It) youtu.be/0XqwXj0Rrx0

Open source is the invisible infrastructure that powers the internet, but the system for funding it is broken Check out our short film, shot at @devcon.org feat @lftherios.bsky.social, Carl Cervone, Chris Lema & Slobo.eth Shot by @sjcreativestudio.bsky.social #opensource #devs #funding #devcon

A real solution for #opensource? People argue open source is free, why should I pay for it. But so many platforms exist on a bedrock of open source. Imagine you're a #developer, you create something because it was a fun problem to solve, but then you're expected to maintain it... forever!

Is #opensource dying? You hear it a lot when companies put formerly open source projects behind paywalls or translation entirely away like certain #3dprinter manufactures. But Open Source remains one of the strongest and most inspirational communities out there: youtube.com/shorts/SxoDz...

The world of funding in #opensource is potentially about to change with #deepfunding and @dripsnetwork.bsky.social excited to see what comes. youtu.be/XohO_RQ_2qA?...

A great opportunity to learn more about Deep Funding, the state of funding within #FOSS and the awesome work that Drips is doing to solve the issues of under appreciated maintainers and developers in the FOSS ecosystem. lu.ma/pgtownhall6?... #opensource

Licenses are increasingly the least interesting part about software. I’ll use closed source if the protocol is open! Governance is very different than compensation. Drips Network is interesting www.drips.network
