I am heartbroken to see that the journal First Monday is shutting down. I'm all the more grateful I got to check one off the bucket list and publish there last year. But it will be missed.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

OK, this is going to finally force me to ask the question I've wondered about for 20+ years: why was it called First Monday?
in reply to Luis Villa

"The name of the journal was chosen, First Monday, based on its planned frequency, with issues appearing on the first Monday of every month." firstmonday.org/ojs//index.php…
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Oh no! Thanks for the heads-up. One of my favourite-ever papers was published there. Exporting to PDF now!

Not a big happy song, but a wistfully happy song. Even the wistful sort is helpful at this time.

@judell Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly the kind of intervention I'm interested in. How can we shift the practice of things from "do the thinking for you" to "help you do the thinking"?

Please @nextcloud you need to assign more developers to the Android app! The Auto-upload feature is severely broken for the past weeks and there are hundreds of open issues regardings this, but apparently only a single developer assigned to it. And every release makes it worse..

Rewrite complete. ✅

We’re looking forward to showcasing our major update to Nextcloud’s core during our next release:

ADA, a new data access engine that takes the already strong scalability of Nextcloud to the next level.

➡️ ADA stands for Accelerated Direct Access, but it’s also a homage to Ada Lovelace.

And this got us thinking … Which computer engineering pioneer do you admire most?

It would be odd to mention Ada, but to omit the guy who designed and built the computer she programmed, and who taught her how to program it! Charles Babbage was his name, and all of computing history owes him a debt of gratitude.

with Windows 11 Linux has definitely seen a lot more up take. But there's also a lot of people that have been using Linux for years now migrating to FreeBSD. Although not a Linux Distro, FreeBSD seems to have full embraced this and is another FOSS OS that is looking at a lot of growth over the coming years.
