Here’s a project to keep an eye on: Hermes Browser, built in Rust using the Servo web engine; an also Rust-based independent web engine stewarded by the Linux Foundation. Not chromium, WebKit, or gecko. Nor ladybird.

I remember when Shopify came around, I bought the narrative that this Canadian company was going to help small businesses escape Amazon. And in many ways it has.
But over time a few things became clear: Tobi is a fascist piece of shit, Shopify is expensive, and the enshittification is accelerating.
Good news though: Spree Commerce copies basically everything you would want from Shopify and provides it free and open source under a BSD license.
Tell your friends, contribute code, fork it.

I hate the recent open-source rise · Jamie Tanna | Software Engineer
https://www.jvt.me/posts/2026/05/12/open-source/
Jamie Tanna argues that the term 'open-source' should not be hyphenated in any context.
There is a formal distinction between 'Open Source' and 'open source' based on licensing definitions.
'Open Source' is reserved for licenses that strictly adhere to the Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition.
'open source' acts as a catch-all term for other licenses that do not meet OSI standards, such as the Business Source License or Hippocratic License.
The lack of a standardized definition for 'open source' allows companies to engage in 'Openwashing' by misrepresenting restrictive licenses as truly open.
The author observes a growing trend of incorrectly hyphenating both 'Open Source' and 'open source' in professional and technical writing.
Large Language Models (LLMs) are identified as a primary driver for the increased adoption of the incorrect 'open-source' hyphenation.
Despite testing multiple LLMs, the author found that many models consistently output the incorrect hyphenated version despite the correct terminology.
The author emphasizes that precise language is important to maintain clarity and avoid confusion regarding software licensing rights.
The document encourages readers to be mindful of their terminology to ensure accurate communication about software freedom and usage rights.
