What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don't know it.

Unicode tricks in pull requests: Do review tools warn us?
Homoglyphs? Invisible text? Bidirectional text? Just highlight every line that goes beyond ASCII with yellow warning colors and require to vet it. Maybe make localization data an exception.

Linus Torvalds schools Lennart Poettering on the importance of users
Reply in thread
Linux community is so inherently meritocratic that one can't meaninfully force anything upon any large group of them.
Thore particular two creations of Lennart took the world by storm precisely because they were so absurdly good that working on other stuff was a dead-end, obvious for all but such tiny fraction of people that even forming vacuous hate bubbles haven't rallied enough effort to foster and maintain alternatives.
It became trendy to hate Pulseaudio and call it bloat years after Nokia shipped a rather anemic phone where it already worked flawlessly. I need no further proof that there's no technical basis beneath the hate.

Russia is charging families of dead soldiers $1,500 to get their bodies back, human-rights group claims

SystemD
5 minutes of fame when Debian said "if you want other init systems, maintain them", soon-to-be-Devan folks slammed the door and effectively ruined the chance of multi-init debian by fracturing efforts into their fork instead. But hey, all the news were abuzz about them.

Every wall was a wall and not a cardboard decoration of a wall
FTFY. Not all of them were load-bearing, mind you, they were just proper walls made of wall.

Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
Of course. There's just one pitfall: there's no turning back, once you grasp it, the inferior ways of the past become unbearable.

What do you think would happen if Putin was assassinated right now?

Putin is the most antiwest Russian politician. And the least antiwest Russian politician. Also the tallest one, as well as the shortest.
