If it were money distributed to all the #foss initiatives, I'd be over the moon. This is money for billionaires. This is a scam.
New blogpost: "Using pandoc and typst to convert markdown into custom-formatted PDFs, with a sample template"
I've been tinkering with typst, to do PDF typesetting with a custom layout, for converting markdown files using pandoc.
I've a little more tinkering to go, but I'm pleased with it. Examples in the post.
(If I'm your lawyer, expect my advice notes to look like this in future. If I'm not your lawyer, well...)

Girl with bags under her eyes talks to herself. Puffy hovers about.
Girl: "Wouldn't it be cool, if all the popular FOSS projects stopped recreating corposhit products and came up with genuinely innovative alternatives?"
Puffy: "Have you been lurking in #cat-v again?"

One eyed veteran of the Foss-War with a crossed out MATA patch, Girl and Puffy are conversing.
veteran: "...you never question your mortality until a penguin removes your ability to see in three dimensions with a tin MilTek spoon-"
Puffy: "Yes, fascinating. Can we go back to you wanting to sell your floppy collection."
Girl is shook.

Fossangel with a cigarette tells you:

Mage tracks down the elusive servant of the Spirit of the Machine, satyr Silenus, once again.
The satyr is tired of these encounters.
Silenus: "You again? Can't let it go, eh? How about this:
The voice in your head is not on your side.
The machine in the sky is not a god.
The war you're fighting cannot be won, if you let the foe dictate its terms...
...Oh and you _will_ die.
So use the time you have left for something beneficial.
There's an unlit marijuana cigarette in the satyr's mouth and a wire running from its back off-screen.

Mage looks melancholic and remembers a moment from her childhood.

Flashback: Girl and Puffy stand over recently slain MATA_Bots.
FlashbackPuffy: "I know that look. You're thinking this is cruel. It was not us who turned them into killing machines. Maybe one day you'll find a way to set them free... Until then - this is the next best thing."

Mage, Cirno, Penguin, Fosschild and OpenBlade are standing over recently slain MATA_Bots.
Cirno, holding an antique rifle, to Mage: "You good? We're far from done here."

OpenBlade: "She's having a flashback."
Over a year ago, I wrote ”A month using XMPP (using Snikket) for every call and chat”.
For something like 15 months now, Sandra and I have used XMPP via @snikket_im for probably 99.9% of our calls, messages, and video chats, running on an Intel NUC.
We both use the Snikket mobile app, and I also use @dino and @profanity in Linux.
Perhaps a fun holiday / weekend project, if you want family-friendly, self-hosted, #E2EE communications?
