@how @tierce @domainepublic @Olm_e @source @HgO @e_jim @tharyrok @tuxicoman @zefredz @Ilja Interesting, do you care to complement what you know about the dubious freedom status of #Discourse to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Talk:Discourse ? Through the Directory, distributions can query for items to include. #FreeSoftware

@rms This reference shows why I don't trust #Blockchain nor #BitCoin or other #Cryptocurrency. I prefer #GNU #Taler since it can work with official currencies and is way more energy and environmental friendly.

@freedomboxfndn I dislike #FreedomBox due to their position in regards to the status towards the freedom of the software, see their take on https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2017-April/007984.html . #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

Also if your career path leads you into a situation where you're personally helping to increase the fortune of the world's richest man then I think it's time to pause and reflect. Is this where the people who started open source wanted it to go? Even though it was always a business strategy that's far from clear. Did the people who started open source want the web to be centralized around AWS data centers? I don't think they did. -

I think this is one of the not so good fosdem talks.

It's a good illustration of how entangled open source became with some of the more regressive elements of capitalism. There's no thought or care for what Google or Amazon might be doing or where they might be taking the web. You just need to make sure you're on the right career path and and focus on community without considering the context in which the software exists.
It may be true that open source won, but the other question is what did it win, and for whom? With free software it's not so clear that there was any big victory and basic stuff like being able to use a phone without proprietary software is still hard. -

Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.
We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.
Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.
Please help. This is important.

Transparency is crucial for a donor-funded nonprofit like the FSF, which is why we release a thorough annual report every fiscal year. Check out the newly released Fiscal Year 2017 report here: https://u.fsf.org/2rh https://status.fsf.org/attachment/871179 -

I think one of the main things that Digital Humanities can learn from Free Software is community collaboration.

I think the problem is that there isn't necessarily an infrastructure in place, you just need to reach out to people. You probably know the people you would like to contribute, it wouldn't hurt to test the waters, point them to the American Yawp as a successful example, & see if anyone would be willing to collaborate. This kind of project disrupts the status quo of academic publishing, and we're just indoctrinated with an 'it is what it is' viewpoint that we don't break it.

A lot of the digital humanities work that really engages with free software is done by librarians or IT people rather than the principal investigators.
I was on a panel at last year's Libre Planet on Free Software in Academia that you might find interesting: I led a panel at LP2018 you may be interested in: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-in-academia/

I think self-hosting is the future of internet.
I dream of a future where everyone hold and backup their own internet data.
Does it sound realistic? what you guys think? -

"I’m reminded of #SteveJobs' #bicyclesforthemind—computers for human empowerment. Our jobs, what we think, we like, & we buy. Those are elements of what makes us individuals, are we going to delegate those things to a computer?" @Moonalice@twitter
That's no bike.
McNamee was an adviser to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and helped recruit Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, but now he’s speaking out against the social giant.

@zge @cwebber it might be worth mentioning that the packages are collectively maintained, by responsibility or necessity rather than exclusively by individuals assigned to packages. There are some regulars for some packages because of expertise they gathered, but it's easy to learn how it's done.
