I really don’t care about your personal carbon footprint. I mean, please do try to lower it, because that’s a good thing to do, but fussing and guilt-tripping over one’s individual contribution to climate change is neither an intellectually nor a morally serious response to a global systemic crisis.
When Michael Young, a British sociologist, coined the term meritocracy in 1958, it was in a dystopian satire. [...] Today, however, we’ve almost finished installing such a system, and we have embraced the idea of a meritocracy with few reservations, even treating it as virtuous. That can’t be right. Smart people should feel entitled to make the most of their gift. But they should not be permitted to reshape society so as to instate giftedness as a universal yardstick of human worth.
Trying to fix a profoundly anchored cultural way of thinking and acting with yet another manifesto (cache) restricted to tech and open source is being blind to what is happening at a larger scale.

I used to think Open Source was amazing. I've since come to realize just how awful it is.
My code is free — my time is not.
This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets.
It is all distributed under the MIT licence.

This whole story is really sad, and a blow to the open source community.
The whole thing was brought to court in Texas : https://dockets.justia.com/docket/texas/txndce/4:2016cv00110/269823
Steven Jungels last words on this project : https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/blob/master/status.md
Interestingly, it was never even mentioned on the Cygwin mailing list:
https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?cmd=Search!&fmt=long&form=extended&GroupBySite=no&m=all&ps=10&q=%22apt-cyg%22&sp=1&su=title&sy=1&type=&ul=/ml/%25&wf=2221&wm=wrd&s=DRP
Btw, I did not know that Cygwin was now founded by Red Hat.
There is a little bit of interesting history of the project on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin
Commits are still regularly made on the project:

Si l’on reprend la description officielle : « La FLOSSCon ( Free/Libre/OpenSource Software Conference ) est un événement libre et non commercial organisé par l’association FLOSSITA ( FLOSS in the Alps ) pour des communautés et des utilisateurs de solutions logicielles libres et Open Source et ceux qui veulent les découvrir.
It is like a Feedly, but for Release Notes
Can parse many formats, including changelogs, and generate a RSS feed.

Confirmation par le juriste d'@Etalab que le code source des logiciels produits par les administrations est soumis au principe d'ouverture par défaut et de gratuité. L'Open Source devient bien la règle.
Monster Chef est un jeu de rôle dans lequel les personnages incarnent la brigade d'une cuisine "Monstresques", c'est à dire servant uniquement des Monstres ou des Aliens ou des Créatures Étranges. Saurez-vous satisfaire l'appétit d'un Ogre qui aurait commandé un tartare de Licorne sauce verte, ou un Globurlien affamé qui attend ses larves de Ver Galactique au chocolat ?
Les règles sont suffisamment simples pour que quiconque soit capable d'y jouer rapidement. L'objectif de ce jeu est de s'amuser et de mettre les personnages dans des situations périlleuses (le coup de feu, quand le client est un Dragon prend tout son sens) tout en restant rocambolesques, voire Toonesques.
