Just because we believe in Starfleet's ideals and values doesn't mean we're serious and professional. There's a reason we ended up at Starbase 80.

The firings at one of the most important US #space #licensing agencies hit at a dire time for a booming US space industry that has long pushed for more nimble & simplified #satellite #regulatory processes…

But sources & individuals across the space industry & US govt…said these #layoffs are likely to trigger major delays in getting #spacecraft approved for #launch.
The #FAA, which signs off on rocket payloads, cannot approve a satellite launch requiring a #NOAA license if it hasn’t obtained it.

Continued thread

The layoffs also upend the agency's core function of #licensing commercial imagery #satellites. By Friday, companies seeking licenses or asking #regulatory questions by email were met with a response stating all those communications will be handled by #NOAA lawyers….

"This is a temporary arrangement to address continuity of operations as no senior personnel remain in the office due to ongoing reductions in force," the email read.

Today I officially launched the individual commercial use license for komorebi, the tiling window manager for Windows

lgug2z.com/software/komorebi

I had a lot of anxiety around this announcement, but the feedback from the core community has been very positive, and I even had license sales today! ♥️

komorebi's commercial use licensing is an honor system; there is no phoning home and there are no activation keys or licensing servers - I really hope that this will be a sustainable model which can be maintained indefinitely

komorebi is a project that I have spent half a decade building so far, and will probably spend many more decades improving and maintaining

My hope for this year is that introducing commercial use licensing will eventually make it financially viable for me to work on komorebi full-time - and who knows, maybe I could even start making all those jokes about a cross-platform tiling window manager a reality
