@enkiv2 Just so people don't say that I'm unreasonable and because I there's no material time in a lifetime to rewrite everything, I'm keeping the path description sublanguage from SVG, and maybe Webassembly. (**Maybe**). ActivityPub could be kept too as a subset/application of a more abstract, general purpose pubsub system, but I haven't given enough thought to that yet.

FramaGit is a free Git hosting alternative that doesn't suck.

@Framasoft are guys with good politics, and even though theirs is still a centralised server, and a self-hosted solution would be better (as long as you don't use MAGAFA servers or IP addresses) this is probably a second best option for small projects who don't know how to, or can't afford to handle their own Git web interface.

Get this in your head, free software isn't free if people can't use it. Lower the bars to adoption, help your community to install, or acquire services, don't just shame them for being unable to use Free Software. Bare lists of software that exists aren't nearly enough.

We already know there are shackles, we already know that keys to those shackles are somewhere else.

Instead, help people to navigate the complexity and difficulty of freeing themselves.

Worker-owned co-ops are coming for the digital gig economy

"As companies like Uber and Handy flail, they’ve cleared a path for worker-owned digital platforms to replace them–and now, there’s a new toolkit to help them get started."

The White House is now directly attacking speech protected under the First Amendment. Fully frontally.

Hey centrists, can we call it fascism yet? A few ancaps and right wing libertarians should also be outraged but won't.

Ostrom not only had to be right, accurate, and her method scientifically correct, she would have also had to paint her findings in a patina of ideologically acceptable shade.

The third option is that ideologically motivated behaviour is a simpler explanation for rationalisations that inevitably sound rational, tailor made to fit an ideological model, not facts, science, or economics. https://social.coop/media/quO2rsKrfXAW0JbjcgM

The eight-hour day is an anachronism when at current levels of productivity most people should be working only three. It was an achievement more than a hundred years ago when Uruguay made it the law in 1915, but it's not a great thing to not make any progress in a hundred years.

The show must move on. #MayDay

@nolan A social.coop Matrix room exists but it's not very lively right now. I also have trouble keeping track of discussions that happen randomly across different applications, and that's part of the reason some of us have suggested that more integration work is needed.

This is the social.coop room on Matrix.org

It's all cool and dandy but what closes the deal for me is #ipfs pubsusb.

The fascists have become quite good at the little game of turning democracy against itself.
The centrists still haven't realised that deeply undemocratic elections are possible.
The spectacle of democratic form painted on a substrate of authoritarianism is still authoritarian.
Democratic fascism is a trojan horse, it must be resisted, and it must be fought, especially against the centre that opens the door.

What the US Government did today affects not only the ability of US citizens to communicate and associate, it disrupts and reconfigures the relationship of the US with the rest of the world.

The internet will survive, and other countries will route around and work to make central points of failure less central. But discussions of a better world and how we want to build it will be made poorer (until today, unthinkable) without the US people being an important part of it.

The Free Software-hating section of the fediverse can be lovely people.
They're just shy about letting their kindness and gratitude show.

There is no "attention economy". The distraction economy unhelpfully drives mass attention to the vacuous, the trivial, and the destructivel, and it's intrinsically anti-ethical to the solution of the most urgent problems that need the attention of every human on Earth.
