As a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions.
For example, #SmartOS, #OmniOS, and #Tribblix are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems.

Similarly, #Linux - #openSUSE Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.

The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.

If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.

FOSS NEWS

Mastodon (official) mobile apps and mastodon.social, mastodon.online web UI will include easily dismissable donation banner:
news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-in-a
(Some people often get mad if a project asks for donation within its software UI, but I think volunteer devs also deserve to get some payment for their work, it's fair to include a donation notice, if it doesn't annoy users with its placement.)

Brave and AdGuard will block Microsoft Recall:
brave.com/privacy-updates/35-b
alternativeto.net/news/2025/7/

Bluesky introduces age verification (using payment cards, ID scans, or face scans) for accessing adult content and direct messaging, and content controls for UK users:
alternativeto.net/news/2025/7/
(Yeah we're heading into a dystopian future, where you can't use social media without giving up sensitive information... Or can't send messages because a small portion of predators also use that feature... It shouldn't be the responsibility of governments and social media platforms to protect children, it's the parents' task to protect their children. If governments would really care about protecting children, they would rather push campaigns targeted towards parents to raise awareness of the importance of paying attention what their child is doing online. But nah, this "protect children" thing is only pushed for emotional manipulation, so that the governments can cover their arse, while building surveillance infrastructure.)

“Who knew giving a ton of money to #CERN would lead to the #WWW? Who knew a Dutch free #OS (#minix) would incentivise a Finnish gradute student to write #Linux (the OS platform on most the cloud, half the smart phones out there)? Who knew that some small TV company (the #BBC) request for a simple low cost computer would lead to the founding of #ARM (that has more chips in the world than Intel or anyone else - again in your mobile device)?” 💯

ChrysaLisp is a 64-bit MIMD operating system designed for parallel and distributed computing. It's a self-hosting environment with a responsive GUI and a rich set of development tools, including a Lisp interpreter for scripting and development. The screenshots are impressive.

#Intel has quietly pulled the plug on #ClearLinux #OS, officially ending support for the once-promising #Linux distribution that it had backed for nearly a decade. Effective immediately, the company says it will no longer provide any updates, #security patches, or maintenance for the operating system. In a final blow, the Clear Linux OS #GitHub repository is now archived in read-only mode

Heck yeah, this thing will blow up! :awesome:

Introducing Operese (a Windows-to-Linux migration tool made by a nerd):

yewtu.be/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw
(or YT: youtube.com/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw)

The demo is very impressive! 👀

It apparently migrates your #Windows10 installation to #Linux #Kubuntu (❤️) with all your files ready to use. 🚀

Written in #Rust, but not yet #OpenSource (according to author will be Open Source in the near future).
