I’ve had an account on #Matrix for about two hours now and I’ve been playing around with it for a bit.@_elena I'm a bit bitter about Matrix's bridging because it kinda killed our IRC channels. A lot of users switched to Matrix because they could do IRC and Matrix in the same place thanks to the bridge, but then when the Libera bridge went down we lost all those people and most of them didn't come back. Worse yet, many of them stuck around in the Matrix rooms and now we have TWO chatrooms that aren't bridged for several projects

We're hiring a Technical Administrator at @spritelyinst!We're hiring a Technical Administrator at @spritelyinst! This position is both technical and organizational... more or less you'd be helping the Executive Director (me) carry out the mission of the organization using FOSS tools. https://spritely.institute/news/come-work-with-us-hiring-a-technical-administrator.html
You don't have to be a programmer to take this position, but you do have to be comfortable with using and *learning* FOSS tooling (such as Emacs and Org-Mode, which are used heavily in the organization).
Non-traditionally CS paths to using FOSS tech are welcome; particularly excellent for someone who is early in their career as a free and open source enthusiast, or a humanities graduate student who uses technical tooling to organize their work, or someone who has established experience in the organizational end of FOSS ecosystems. If you feel that assisting in the organization of a FOSS nonprofit while using or learning particular FOSS tools is appealing, apply! https://spritely.institute/jobs/2024-09-12-technical-administrator.html

MNT Pocket Reform first impressions https://dustycloud.org/blog/mnt-pocket-reform-first-impressions/Also @mntmn and their whole crew are just lovely people and if you can afford to support a bunch of open hardware queers trying to build a better world with computers that love you back (even when they need some love too), that's a good reason to get one.

It's an open hardware purse-sized mini laptop! With so much potential! It's gorgeous! It has an incredible clacky keyboard!
But... expect it to be a tinkerer's device. You're probably going to have to spend some time futzing wit things.

Protip: if you want to summon @simon all you need to do is question whether or not AI is useful for programming on a forum and Simon will instantly appear and tell you that it has, in fact, been useful to him personallyProtip: if you want to summon @simon all you need to do is question whether or not AI is useful for programming on a forum and Simon will instantly appear and tell you that it has, in fact, been useful to him personally
