I really don't understand why open source and Linux nerds are so opposed to AI. Do they just not use it in their day jobs?

Introducing Keyloom, an easy-to-use keyboard remapper for Linux.
See your keyboard → click a key → choose what you want it to do. Create global or application-specific remaps.
Helpful for people using Mac keyboards or Mac-style keycaps. @dhh @wesbos

Time to look for an alternative to GitHub. The constant downtime is impacting thousands of teams.

We just hit #270 on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing companies. 🎉
The ranking isn't the story.
The story is tens of thousands of you, choosing each other over a broken system. Showing up for a stranger's ER bill. Sharing the load when someone got the diagnosis nobody wants. Proving that healthcare doesn't need an insurance company in the middle to work.
You didn't just leave the system. You built something better in its place. You are starting a revolution.
And it's spreading. Fast.
If you're already in the Crowd... Thank you!!
If you're still on the fence, come and join in on the fun (and save a ton of money along the way).

A milestone for Artemis II.
For the first time in more than half a century, humans are laying eyes on this side of the Moon again. Artemis II’s trajectory will also reveal parts of the Moon no human has ever seen before.
This is how we push the frontier forward.
As Orion journeys behind the Moon, radio signals from our networks cannot reach the spacecraft. Orion will go into a planned communications blackout for forty minutes while the Deep Space Network is standing by to reacquire signals. Our astronauts have prepared extensively for every maneuver amid lunar flyby – including the communications blackout.
Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover shares a message of love just before Orion's temporarily planned loss of communications with Mission Control.

We had a great time hanging out, enjoying downtown Austin views, and eating some BBQ from @TerryBlacks_BBQ with fellow Crowdies last night!

Within 20 minutes of sending this to our members we had 40 families step up and help. Honored to be a part of this community.
Sometimes, a member's need falls outside the scope of our Member Guidelines. In special cases like this, we invite our community to consider supporting a fellow CrowdHealth family through a one-time request.
Today, we're sharing a note from Aaron and Jessica Scholl, who recently welcomed a beautiful new addition to their family—little Olivia. Unfortunately, the timing of their adoption expenses doesn’t align with our current guidelines, so they aren’t eligible for funding through the standard process.
This request will not affect your generosity score, but we hope you’ll consider contributing to the Scholls as they begin this exciting new chapter.
As a side note: their story has prompted us to re-examine how our Member Guidelines support adoptive families. We’re committed to evolving so we can love and serve families like theirs even better in the future.
Dear CrowdHealth family,
We are Aaron and Jessica Scholl and are CrowdHealth members. We recently returned home from Africa with a three year-old girl named Olivia who we adopted! It was a four year process, so we are thankful that it is finally completed! We currently have five biological children ages 17, 16, 15, 13 and 11 and two adopted children now ages 10 and 3. Life is full, and life is good.
But, as you can imagine the cost to adopt is very high and currently we need to have labs and blood work done for our new daughter, which is not eligible for funding under the funding guidelines. We have explored numerous options and tried to mitigate cost, but it will still cost us close to $2500 to get the necessary tests and labs completed for her. (These are required by our adoption agency for children who are adopted from Africa.)
We are asking that you would please consider helping us, even if it’s just in a small way! Anything you would be willing to contribute towards these expenses would be a blessing to us and we would be very thankful.

Thank you so much for your consideration,
The Scholl family

It's markdown Monday (we just made this up) and here is your crazy egregious price for the week! Oral Cancer surgery marked down 93%! Member paid $500 the Crowd funded $12,500.

I’ll go against the norm and argue that remote work is pretty great. People can live where they want, we have so many more people to choose from when filling positions, and I’m way more efficient (people aren’t dropping by every ten minutes to chat). Even being remote, of all the companies that I’ve worked for CrowdHealth has the strongest culture.
It’s also kinda weird. Half the people in this picture I’ve never met live…until this week. Instead of paying for office space, I pay for a yearly gathering. A day of strategy meetings, a dinner with 100 of our members, and a day of fun activities. 🎉🥳
