The Linux Foundation had $300 million in revenue in 2025.

@licho @hbons 3.5' ? What is the scale of the whole scene if the floppy is 3.5 feet wide?

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@hbons they also just argued for a license change for "open source AI models" (which means open weight models) that will hinder people from suing model providers if they ever used a model. Linux foundation is not an ally.

@ptesarik sorry, I'm not American. I don't know what's the symbol for an inch. I thought it's equivalent to arc minutes and I have zero will to check what's the actual symbol @hbons

[nventor@chaos.social]

@hbons “built by a community” is the icing on that shitcake

[ptesarik@infosec.exchange]

@licho @hbons I'm not American either. I'm merely so old I used a lot of 3½" and even 5¼" floppies when I was young, so the symbol is now baked into my mind.

[desikn@mastodon.social]

@hbons The designer probably did this.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@nVentor wow, didn't even notice that...

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@ptesarik @licho this is some attention to detail I don't even have.

[osqar@neopaquita.es]

@hbons And what about the keyboard with 4 rows of keys on the left side and 3 on the right one?

[licho@kolektiva.social]

@ptesarik I used them a lot too @hbons

@nVentor @hbons "We never said we meant a community with any humans in it"

@tante @hbons yeah, I don’t know if they ever were, but I am sad to see them do this shit. There was once a reasonable course on defensive coding of something that they produced and put up on edX that I liked. And I like most of the OpenSSF scorecard ideas—enough that I tried to take them and deploy them at work to make it easier to evaluate internal software products that were notionally things that could be shared or “leveraged”.

@hbons Clearly Flip-Floppies.

@ptesarik @licho @hbons

Mistakes like this is how you end up with dwarves kicking over a model of Stonehenge.

@hbons look, Linus needs his money

[groxx@hachyderm.io]

@hbons stores twice as much data!

[c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io]

@tante @hbons TBF most of that scorecard is basic shit like “be clear about licensing burdens on your shit” and “test your stuff and tell people the results”, “you should encrypt things in transit”, “make sure you list a point of contact”, “have you heard of fuzzing? It’s good.”

@iain money and free computers

[madalex@fosstodon.org]

@ptesarik @licho @hbons

In German the translation for inch is Zoll and thus in speaking about the three different sizes you referred to a 8 Zoll Diskette for example (which was my first floppy disk).

@iain free as in beer
