My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

some of you got no idea what it truly means to join one’s professional network on linkedin. the sheer weight of such an undertaking, such a solemn vow. linkedin taught me the true meaning of honor, taught fearlessness, taught me deep, blood-bound loyalty. here’s what it taught me about b2b saas

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A huge release of rstore just dropped! There are so many improvements and new features I can't list all of them here 😸
The entire codebase got a big makeover! Unfortunately this also means a lot of breaking changes, but I did my best to document everything in the docs.

I've been digging the iOS 26 beta so far, especially the camera redesign, but.. is it just me or does the mode selector swipe the wrong way? Feels very counterintuitive 👀
