✨ New blog post: “📱 FOSS Android Essentials: A Whole‑Phone Guide”
I got tired of random updates breaking my layout — so I rebuilt my phone setup from the ground up with FOSS tools I actually trust. All open, all mine. 💜
Take back control, one app at a time?

Ich bin #neuhier und nach ein paar Tagen umschauen, stelle ich fest, dass es hier sehr gemütlich ist. Für so einen Teilzeit-Nerd wie mich laufen hier viele spannende Leute rum. Freue mich auf Austausch und Tipps insbesondere zu #radfahren #linux #opensource #Brotbacken.

Hello again, World! An #Introduction

I'm JBQ, 50-ish, he/him, French-born, currently moving from Spokane, WA, USA to Preveza, Greece.

I have worked on operating systems, browsers, SDKs, and similar tech, mostly for mobile. Most visibly, I managed the Open-Source aspects of Android from 2009 (1.6) to 2013 (4.3).

I am currently active in the Atari ST #OpenSource #DemoScene, as Djaybee from the MegaBuSTers.

My strongest languages are C and assembly (especially 68k). I've touched many more.

Oh, wow! The German IT Planning Council decided yesterday to consolidate a bunch of disparate communication tools into a unified system based on Matrix and MLS.

Here's the record of their decision and the other options they considered: https://gitlab.opencode.de/it-planungsrat/fit-ab/zapuk/-/blob/main/Zielarchitektur/Architekturentscheidungen/ADR-0011-Kommunikationsschicht.md

In the past two months I’ve caught up on sleep, made my yearly pilgrimage to Montreal, hosted guests, and done a little work for the fantastic folks at Open Robotics. I’m feeling much better following my months at Semios and can once again turn my mind to all things #strategy, #operations, #business, and #OpenSource.

My latest blog post: Building the Kilnettle Tape Dispenser

https://mikecoats.com/building-kilnettle/

@stephencoyle presented his Kilnettle Shrine Talking Tape Dispenser as a Lightning Talk at the @oshwassociation 2025 Open Hardware Summit. He was kind enough to send me one to build.

If you value my contributions to Open Source and Laravel, just leave a small tip or become a sponsor. It helps me pay the bills.

"Do what you want, the risk is yours."

Could that be the shortest and clearest #PublicDomain license - with no strings attached about things I create and is judged by laws like copyright and ownership to fully have control over - possible?

My goal is to eradicate all and every dependency between me and everyone else. Including having to repeatedly take time to explain what the #license not comes with.

If it holds I think I should be able to really focus my flow to the #OpenSource way of life.

I currently feel very 🥰 - very much so from getting back into #OpenSource, and able to begin coding for real this time.

One big change that made this happen, was that I last year - after 12+ years fight finally got diagnosed.

I'm 57 next month and since I got access to help, that requires diagnoses, from mid August -> my life has changed to the better so much, so fast (keeps accelerating) and in ways that is quite a journey that just keeps going.

Simply: I've been granted a 2nd chance of life
