• Meta deletes popular 1M follower account after Kuwaiti request

  This bears repeating: It has been clear for a while that certain providers and services need to be regulated as utilities - Microsoft, Google, Apple, Visa, Mastercard, and soon Openai and Anthropic. Social media companies, as de-facto public squares, should be clubbed into that category once they gain a certain reach. It should be illegal for these companies, just like utilities, to deny service to anyone or any... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Open Source Endowment – new funding source for open source maintainers

  How is this different than something like https://opencollective.com (which, for example, Actual Budget uses: https://opencollective.com/actual ). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Funding in Open Source: A Conversation with Chad Whitacre

  Chad has been leading the Open Source Pledge, a simple framework to get companies to fund the projects they rely on. The idea is straightforward: for every developer your company employs, allocate $2,000 per year to open source. Distribute those funds however you want—GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, Thanks.dev, direct payments, etc. The only other ask is to publish a blog post showing what you did. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• None of the top 10 projects in GitHub is actually a software project 🤯

  We see some projects that can financially survive (via sponsor or external infrastructure such as open collective or patreon), favoring the long-term sustainability. Thus, we keep our stand on promoting a transparent governance model to state where the investment will be managed and who can benefit from it, especially when knowing that non-technical users have an increasing key role in these communities. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Released

  As a both old Linux and now decade user of MacOS, after I got used to no middle-click paste and no focus-follows-mouse: 1. Keyboard shortcuts are Emacs, Ctrl-A: start of line, E: end of line, K: kill selected or to end of line, Y to paste, etc. https://support.apple.com/en-au/102650#text 2.

• Native Instant Space Switching on macOS

  Every macOS user uses Rectangle.app — https://rectangleapp.com The ones who don't use it is because they don’t know it exists. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Native Instant Space Switching on macOS

  I use https://rectangleapp.com/ and enjoy it. I have shortcuts to move windows to the left/right half of the screen, and cycle between monitors. This, combined with native cmd+tab and cmd+` is enough for me. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Make macOS consistently bad (unironically)

  Rectangle [1] is pretty much essential for me because of this. I use only a few keypresses (maximize window, move to one of the halves of the screen horizontally) but that is enough. My mouse very rately interacts with the borders of any window, or those buttons. I had to click on the green one that you mentioned in order to see what it did (yuck).

• Make macOS consistently bad (unironically)

  I use Rectangle [1] for window management. I only use three shortcuts: full screen, left half of the screen, and right half of the screen. My editors and chrome are always running in one of these modes. But for other apps like Messages, Notes, Music, etc - yeah I don't usually expand them to full screen.
