Do you have thoughts on how the @EUCommission should support and fund free and open source software, part of the "digital commons"?

Do you have thoughts on its upcoming "Open Internet Stack" program?

If so, please take this 20 minute survey by the end of the week! […]

In Svenska, Jonathan = Johan. It's pronounced like “yo-one”. It’s one of the most common names in Sverige, so I joke, “If you can’t be the Johan you love, love the Johan you’re with.”

I tried that joke 3 times with Johans in Stockholm before accepting that Svenskar don’t have a cultural […]

Great video. Watch it!

Today begins the 2-weeks of spring calendar chaos created by George W. Bush and perpetuated by every US president unwilling to end daylight saving time.

“The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid was one of the best fiction books I have read in the last few years. The audiobook was perfectly narrated.

It’s about a powerful woman, being an actor in the 1950s onward, and the tradeoffs of all the desires someone might have in life. […]

1Password is increasing its price 30%. If I put in the effort to move, I will be motivated by shifting to something European or self-hosted, not price.

KeePassXC has one of the worst UIs I have encountered in the last decade, but seems capable, fully FOSS, and actively developed.

This is a fucking great take on AI and how people involved in making software should think and act in this moment.

OK so I maintain like... I dunno, dozens of OSS programs that could be called "applications" which are distributed in package managers that could be interpreted as "covered application stores". Do I understand correctly that under CA law Jepsen, a program for testing distributed systems […]

A year-ish ago, I tried to get the owners of MySpace.com to sell it to me, as the site was not functional and had been a dead assets for years.

I mentioned this at #FediForum today, but then saw that MySpace is now part of the People / Entertainment Weekly Network.

So it's functional again […]

I signed a petition opposing the relaxing of EU rules related to allowing known carcinogenic chemicals in cosmetics.

“To tell the truth is the same as to be a good tailor, or to be a good farmer, or to write beautifully. To be good at any activity requires practice: no matter how hard you try, you cannot do naturally what you have not done repeatedly. In order to get accustomed to speaking the truth, you […]

Hire Jon! He’s a smart, creative, strategic, and an incredibly fun leader who can wear many hats while helping you look great in your hats too.

Related: IMO teen social media bans not only break communication & speech, but turn teens off of government & regulation, AND avoid dealing with the real issues of regulating recommenders, AND do nothing to avoid scams, gambling, porn &c. that mostly impact families & communities via older users.

I always appreciate the humble and helpful answer of “I don’t know, but I know who to ask and I’ll find out!”

January 2026 IndieWeb Carnival Roundup For this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, people shared their thoughts on the meaning of their lives.
