Hey friends! I'm working on a little side research project looking into the motivations of folks who participate in the open source community. If you're willing, please consider filling out this short little survey:

that is amazing! It's so crazy versatile. I was a big stock KVM fan for years but I switched all my server hosts to it.

I would have killed to have LXD years ago when I first got into server administration. It really is one of those amazing hidden gems that more people need to know about.

I'm definitely biased, but I think they're both worth a playthrough. Especially if you're craving something that feels reminiscent of the 360/PS3 era. :)

first one is called Greedfall - very much an homage to early Bioware RPGs. It's an odd blend of fantasy, colonialism, and pirates.
Second is called Steelrising - Gameplay is pretty standard Souls-like. The main character is a maid automaton who has to fight an army of evil robots during the French revolution.

I have a big soft spot for Spiders games. They're fun, unique, kinda janky, and just look at those beautiful clothing designs!

Do you know any new open source projects that deserve recognition?
Projects that are:
- Solving real world problems and driving technical innovation
- Improving science, research or medicine
- Challenging long standing platforms or paradigms
- Just super nerdy and doing something novel!
If you do, please share them and perhaps we can help them get the attention they deserve. 🧡

I am queer and I understand the world is a scary place and this is particularly scary time. There is a growing threat of prejudice, erasure, violence and many find refuge within online communities; myself included. A community that makes people feel safe, seen and included is one worth striving for. I have been part of the Ubuntu community since I was a teenager and I have come to meet so many amazing queer people within it. They all deserve a community that respects and values them.

2025-09-08 04:44:09 CEST

I am speaking 100% as myself and not on behalf of any company or in any official capacity. There was a new user on the Ubuntu Discourse who recently posted an introduction topic as many are encouraged to do when they arrive. One of the community volunteer moderators edited this user's topic and removed the word "queer" from it. To be very clear and direct: This was a mistake and should not have happened. Period. The original text has been restored. [CONTINUED]

It's simply the right thing to do. The moderator made a mistake and it needed to be corrected. The Community Council reached out to Lukas with an apology after reviewing what had occurred and promised to improve moderator guidelines and practices.
