I managed without apps for car rides, hotel, train, food delivery or the chess tournament itself (and no GPS)! Of course I used proprietary javascript for some bookings. It took extra leg work (mostly while my kid was playing) but I didn&#39;t even have to ask anyone else to help me with any of these things. Whew!! This shouldn&#39;t be such an accomplishment, but it is! 2026-05-05T02:35:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsy2feqhdpk5yf4f0zakv59xe3cehrk72k9hh0wcqz3286aqcerx0szyz98lysrcjzeymkkpedyqscsvknmgux33x5rwxrzu3gqtxqhvus5q284g7y The high profile #GPL lawsuits <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub103flyqcfcwve38urnke3kxs6dug9h7stxzmhyqffhl289fy3p49qu0kaf3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Software Freedom Conservancy</span> (<span class="italic">npub103f…kaf3</span>)</a></span> brings are last resort - they are only the most visible part of our enforcement efforts. <br/><br/>We work hard to respond the violation reports we receive, and work with companies to get them into compliance.<br/><br/>We launched Use the Source to do more of our work in a way that people can see, and participate too, working towards using the source code we receive to do cool things with our own devices :)<br/><br/>Only $2401 left to our match goal!<br/><br/><a href="https://sfconservancy.org/usethesource/">https://sfconservancy.org/usethesource/</a> 2026-02-06T00:20:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx7cgevy599vnga7pnfz2jhrffmueme4rvvn9gl9ah29m8d5ve9gqzyz98lysrcjzeymkkpedyqscsvknmgux33x5rwxrzu3gqtxqhvus5qr2n0ll The Legal &amp; Policy Devroom is kicking off strong at #FOSDEM2026!
