What are the early warning signs of open source maintainer burnout?

I've drafted a checklist/questionnaire here: https://governingopen.com/resources/signs-of-burnout-checklist.html

Would love suggestions/additions! This is a list I brainstormed just now, in order to create something to iterate on - I suspect it's missing quite a lot.

#femoralsketch 18 for @opossumwhoisvivian, in which a creature who is vivian is possibly also trying to look smart #mastoart #nonsense

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

Morning sketch-stream results!

People who use Discord as a wiki/fourm replacement and for software distribution should be cursed to be itchy forever

When it comes to content warnings, they're more of a liberation than a censorship. They allow you to say things into a crowd that would be difficult to say normally without a pre-warning

Best explanation I've seen of why the Paradox of Tolerance is no paradox at all.

“People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word #Luddite is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”

kids these days will never get to experience the expectant excitement of this screen ever in their life. not the tense sound as it reads your disk or the clicky sounds of your harddrive as the game is installed, or the celebratory drive opening as you finish... soulless downloads is all we have left. pour one out for....
