Did I mention that we at Igalia are hiring? We're hiring! Join our respectful egalitarian flat cooperative structure and let's build free open source software together. ❤️
For students we also offer a CE programme:

Today we're kicking off the #GNU Assembly!
This is a new umbrella for GNU people seeking transparent decision-making and built around consensus. It's the result of a decade of struggle to make #GNU inclusive, transparent, and community-driven.
#GNU contributors: consider joining!
#FreeSoftware activists: help us spread the word!
Igalia's statement on RMS and the FSF.
> "We at Igalia are dismayed that Richard Stallman is back in a leadership position at the Free Software Foundation, after being forced to resign 18 months ago due to a pattern of sexist behavior. After all of the efforts of the community and FSF staff to build an inclusive movement for software freedom, we are baffled that the electors of the board chose to reinstate Stallman without any explanation, much less an apology or remediation for past behavior. [...]"

If you have a github account and you're interested in #foss, #activitypub, and #federation, could you be a dear and go star/fave my fediverse server project, #gotosocial? The link is here: https://github.com/gotosocial/gotosocial
Normally I don't give a shit about faves and boosts and all that crap, but this project is important to me and I'm looking to set up some kind of Github sponsor thing for it, so stars on the project would be really really appreciated and help visibility!
Boosts welcome. Thank you! ❤️

@ioa Thumbs up Igalia for being such a model not only as an organization that builds key freedom-respecting pieces of software, but also as an egalitarian cooperative! <3
People working on web engines:
This year our (remote) Igalia WebEngines Hackfest will be early May - I can't wait! 🤓

It's worth noting that the arguments self-righteous people use in attacks on people's preferred pronoun "they" are entirely invalid. The singular "they" has been in use since the 14th century.

Not that this adds anything though, hateful is hateful, and so are the attacks on people's personal preferences concerning themselves.

Okay I'm going to bed. Just wanted to say I've been working hard trying to /kind of sort of/ clean up my 2018 #Guile / #Scheme intro:

Still needs a lot of work. Heck, it was messy!

tl;dr: Ship every FOSS project with a "guix.scm" file.
These can be used to set up dev environments with
"guix environment -l guix.scm"
Projects built using Guix as a dev environment are free from the "binary-black-box-container-only" plague, healthier for user freedom!
