In an interesting turn of events, Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates meet each other for the first time at a dinner invite. What would have they talked about? Any guesses? <\/p>\n This photo also made me realize how quickly Torvalds has aged in the past few years \ud83d\ude14<\/p>\n We have 71 new lifetime members, just 4 short of our original target of 75. Would you help us achieve this?<\/span> \ud83d\udcac Let’s see what else you get in this edition<\/strong><\/p>\n Fedora plans to ditch 32-bit support completely<\/a>. This will impact Steam and Wine.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Accessibility on Linux is being taken for granted<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Fast, pretty, and actually helpful.

For the past 13 years, It’s FOSS has been helping people use Linux on their personal computers. And we are now facing the existential threat from AI models stealing our content. <\/span><\/p>\n If you like what we do and would love to support our work, please become It’s FOSS Plus member.

However, this is not a trick you should use often.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/a><\/figure>\n Spotted this ‘glow bot’ smart AI assistant on Kickstarter<\/a>. A cool desk companion with a futuristic vibe, only if you have money to spare. It is not open source<\/strong>. I hope someone starts a similar open source project soon, as this is an interesting concept to have customized pixel animation that reacts according to interaction.<\/p>\n Don’t like Cursor’s proprietary nature?

<\/div>\n\ud83e\udde0 What We\u2019re Thinking About<\/h2>\n
\nIt\u2019s True, \u201cWe\u201d Don\u2019t Care About Accessibility on Linux<\/div>\nWhat do concern trolls and privileged people without visible or invisible disabilities who share or make content about accessibility on Linux being trash without contributing anything to projects have in common? They don\u2019t actually really care about the group they\u2019re defending; they just exploit these victims\u2019 unfortunate situation to fuel hate against groups and projects actually trying to make the world a better place. I never thought I\u2019d be this upset to a point I\u2019d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It\u2019s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I\u2019m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I\u2019m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time \u201cwasted\u201d addressing these accusations. This is far from the first time, and it will certainly not be the last.<\/div>\n![\"FOSS](\"https:\/\/itsfoss.com\/content\/images\/icon\/logo-195x195.png\"){kind=logo}
