Dear FOSS Community 👋,

I’m researching Open Source funds and support programs that directly pay FOSS maintainers or contributors (not just offering mentorship), similar to the Fellowship program by @sovtechfundSovereign Tech Agency

I’m especially looking for programs that:
- are aimed at FOSS maintainers or contributors (not only students),
- focus on paid support and
- offer funding for at least 3 months.

If you know of any funds, organizations, or initiatives like this, please comment (or boost). Thanks :)

RE: hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/111

Happy "Most Dangerous Negro" day to all who celebrate!

If you survey US people and ask them if MLK Jr's assassin worked alone, or was part of a conspiracy:

* 66% of white Americans say conspiracy.
* 100% of Black Americans say conspiracy.

100%. Everyone.

Because *some* white Americans know about the group that Bill Sullivan ran, but almost all Black Americans know about it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

It's possible to study "US History" in an American school, get an A in the class, and have never even heard COINTELPRO. Because the term is not even part of the official US history curriculum.🤡

This in a country that claims to care so much about "free speech."

My friend Mr. Frederickson lost his battle with terminal cancer over the weekend. He'd worked for a year to translate the sequel to his favorite Sega Saturn RPG "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore" but passed it to others in the community in his final days. His story:

kidnapped four members of the Oglala Sioux Nation and is trying to hold them hostage to force the Sioux to work with . Working on tribal land would give them legal impunity, so they've been trying to bribe or force Native tribes to work with them across the country. The natives are standing strong-- they don't take bribes and don't negotiate with terrorists.

We need more leaders in Congress who understand the assignment like this.

In all my years of wandering around Mobygames I've come across a lot of now-defunct studio biographies, some of which link to a tribute/memorial page set up by the former workers. But I've never seen one with this combination of terseness and obvious bitterness: web.archive.org/web/2003112803
RIP BlueSky Software! (1988-2001) - I never knew ye until today, when I learned one of your last games was a Goosebumps 2.5D first person adventure with oddly lavish (for 1997) FMV.

I’ve just finished writing a watchdog driver for the MediaTek MT7622 SoC (used on boards like Banana Pi R64) for FreeBSD!

This driver implements the watchdog support so that systems based on MT7622 can reliably use the watchdog subsystem to monitor and recover from hangs or lockups — a core part of making embedded platforms stable under FreeBSD.

The MT7622 is the ARM networking SoC on the R64 board with 5× Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and more. Getting low-level hardware support like this working is a big step toward usable FreeBSD support on this hardware.

🔥 Want to help test it?
If you’re running FreeBSD on MT7622-based boards (like Banana Pi R64) — please give the new watchdog driver a spin and share feedback, bugs or test results!

For our first launch of the year, we're kicking off with more blocking features!

Rolling out today: You can now include domain blocklists, including ATProto PDS domains if you don't want to interact with bridged users from that PDS, to Bridgy Fed!

Blocks come with if you Bounce, and we even added a handy list of reputable blocklists to choose from.

More details here: blog.anew.social/launch-domain
