@dgoodkin This is a good idea, BSD systems deserves the clout for running very interesting stuff.
As someone who was drew towards Unix since a young age (the spark was lit when I was 12 and saw Solaris in a server/workstation in the movie Tron: Legacy) I'd like to add a couple of things:
- BSD systems would be a better as an introduction to Unix than Linux is. When I tried Linux as a newbie I found it pretty opaque and unwelcoming. The lack of a comprehensive documentation made hard for me to evolve to a skill level where I was able to do actual troubleshooting and not just rely to googling error messages and pasting stuff in terminal. Running BSD helped me a lot in that regard and made me better with Linux too.
- emphasizing the community aspect of Unix systems (sharing data, sending messages, seeing "who" is online, making silly broadcasts with "wall"...) would make these even more fun to use. If I was in charge of a middle/high school computer science course I'd run it on a multi user BSD system using the individual computers more like dumb terminals.

again, we got lucky with cps-config too, because they need and want the extensions pkgconf has brought to the pkg-config format, at least some of them.
but if pkgconf simply supported windows from the beginning? cps-config also would never have existed.
my point here is: saying no to corporations carries its own risks.
maybe those risks are acceptable, and known up front, but equally those risks may be unknown

let's talk about pkgconf explicitly as an example here.
what, fundamentally, is the goal of pkgconf? to improve the usability and resilience of the pkg-config ecosystem.
or, in other words, to attain sufficient mindshare that pkgconf can drive necessary changes in the pkg-config ecosystem.
given that, what is the true cost of saying *no*?
we said *no* to windows support for years, because i do not develop software on windows. eventually, we begrudingly merged one of the windows ports that were submitted over the years.
but, because of the lack of prioritization on windows, what was my reward?
a new competing implementation (u-config) which does not fully conform to the expected behavior of the pkg-config tool, maintained by somebody who *does not care about pkg-config* and actively spreads misinformation about pkg-config implementations, but the tool is good enough for people to be interested in it.
this detracts from pkgconf's primary goal of being able to drive effective change in the pkg-config ecosystem, because people will desire to author pkg-config files that are compatible with u-config.
had we prioritized windows support when folks asked for it, u-config simply would not exist.
so when people say maintainers have the right to say "no", that's true, but it may come at a cost.
in practice, we got really lucky with u-config. it exists, but for the most part, nobody cares. it appears in some distributions, but it is not the default anywhere other than the u-config author's personal windows development toolchain distribution.
but at the same time, it is now an area of risk that now has to be mitigated to protect pkgconf's mindshare.
in the general sense, this also holds. let's talk about the recent Xlibre fork as an example.
freedesktop.org clearly does not care about X anymore for the most part, because they have used their position of mindshare dominance to drive a mostly-successful transition to Wayland.
but now Xlibre is a competitive threat to their transition plan.
it's the same with these software supply-chain security regulatory frameworks: if you *don't* do the work, then somebody else can come along and fork your project and do the work, taking mindshare away from your project.
maybe that matters, maybe it doesn't. it depends on what the end goal of the project is.
and so even though maintainers can *technically* say no to burdensome requests, the cost of doing so may negatively impact the project's ability to meet its end goal.
This article is describing something real, important and legitimately impressive but oh my god the Google News thumbnail looks like the fakest fucking thing I've ever seen https://thequantuminsider.com/2025/06/20/ubc-scientists-propose-blueprint-for-universal-translator-in-quantum-networks/
can i tell some corporate employee who makes a burdensome request to get lost? sure, and i have before.
can i tell some corporate employee who makes a burdensome request required for compliance with a regulatory framework like the CRA that i won't do it and they have to do it themselves? sure.
note i ask "can i" here, and the answer is yes.
that's not the point though. the reality is more complicated. do maintainers *actually* have the psychological safety to reject these requests?
what is the actual psychological cost of saying no?

昨日なんとなくドラゴンボールを1巻からフリーザ編の途中くらいまで読んでたんだけど、悪として描かれているのが常に侵略者で、侵略者がネイティブを無慈悲に殺しまくる、その侵略者たちを悟空が倒しまくるという話が繰り返されていて、南米でめちゃくちゃウケてたのはそういうことなのかと勝手に納得した。侵略者たちは原住民を同じ人間だとおもっていないから殺すことに平気で、それが冷酷さをあらわしている。
鳥山明がポストコロニアル作品を描こうとしたわけじゃないのは確かだけど、それでもドラゴンボールが受け入れられるのは、侵略者が悪の象徴として描かれ、その侵略者がつねに倒されるから、侵略された側の人たちほど共感しやすい作品になっているということなんだろうな〜とおもった。
@ianthetechieIan Wagner my question to expats is exactly that, I didn't even pose that and you already answered. "Would you consider coming back".
I wonder if there will be any kind of inflection point.

For another #FediforumFriday I want to give a shout-out to a nice tool for creating threads on Mastodon - Splinter https://splinter.hastily.cc/
I used this yesterday for the first time, to post a series of updates about the videos from PublicSpaces last week. Useful stuff, and added to my list of power tools.

うあー
のんと草彅剛が主演の「新幹線大爆破」があまりに良かったので（半分過ぎまで観て安心したので、今週末に息子も交えて最初から観る予定）昭和のオリジナルも観てみた。
なるほど令和版は「シン・新幹線大爆破」なんだな。皮の先までたっぷり新幹線が詰まっているあたり、鉄道に対する思いがこれでもかと詰め込まれている。
昭和版もあの時代にしてはかなりの造り込みなんだけど、高倉健で引っ張るスリラー側に新幹線がほぼ絡まないのが不満と言えば不満ではある。
しかし令和版から「スピード」は生まれなかっただろうなあ、とも思うのだ。

Overlooking the Rady Shell amphitheater, a fediverse sticker has been placed by <someone> on a lamp post on the patio of the convention center.
This is a perfect spot, as they tend to blast classic Star Wars soundtracks to test audio setups during the week. Sure to attract potential fedizens!
@anewsocial has the sticker if you’d like to purchase it
