A screenshot of the Framework website's Linux landing page. At the top, a large headline reads "Designed for a Linux-first experience," centered above an illustration of a black gear, an orange pixelated heart, and Tux the Linux penguin. Below the graphics, a section titled "How we work with Linux distributions" details the company's upstream design approach and multi-level collaboration to ensure broad compatibility. A following section titled "Official partners" explains that Ubuntu and Fedora are officially supported distributions, noting deep engineering collaboration and the provision of official customer support for these specific distros.

Oh, one more thing...😎

Gurl, just don’t mindlessly scroll through shorts on TikTok or wherever.

That shit rots your brain anyways and you never know what you’re going to get… hell, just stay off TikTok or shorts in general.

Panel 1: Shen is facing the viewer directly, with a green starry background, saying "BLUECHAIR, the comic I've been making on Webtoon for the past 12 years, is ending tomorrow." Panel 2: Shen takes a long and peaceful inhale through his nose, his eyes closed, serenely appreciating the sunlight falling upon him. Panel 3: Shen keels over and screams "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA T.F. AM I GONNA DOOOOO!!!!!!" Panel 4: Text reading "give it a warm sendoff at BLUECHAIR-WEBTOON.COM (or just search 'BLUECHAIR' on Webtoon) ~ Shen" and there's a minimalist winking Shen face.

Take that off, I said ! >:(

Hey, take that bazzite off !

Bailey Pumfleet @pumfleet (1h ago) post in X: Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase.

So we're back to security through obscurity? Sorry, but this is wrong. Our OSS apps and libs will be more secure thanks to the new models, not less. They are being released to researchers responsibly. Let's help maintainers avoid burnout. Let's fund them. Let's welcome more eyes checking our code.
