Technically if your product is named '365', you are allowed 24 full hours of outage in every year which is divisible by four but not by 100 unless also divisible by 400

"What’s become clear from my years of using Slack at work is that it is, first and foremost, a tool of corporate surveillance. Slack stands for “Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge,” after all. Its positive use depends on how much you trust your employer not to read your messages, because yes, they have complete access."

Every wondered how to say "free Software" (free-as-in-speech) in Mandarin Chinese?

自由軟體 (zih-yo ruan-ti)

#FreeSoftware #Chinese #Mandarin #China #translation

Hey, this is important: a free society requires a free form of communication that is secure and free from prying eyes.

Unknown to me until today, Join #XMPP tried to be an introductory gateway to XMPP, much like Joinmastodon does to the #Mastodon community. The owner, however, stopped maintaining the project and is looking for people to take up on it again. Check it out:

Yes, this modus operandi, used by Microsoft and other faux-#FOSS "friends" does ring very true, especially if we consider the Linux Foundation: http://techrights.org/2020/09/27/proprietary-monopoly-github/ This is how the proprietary incumbents can use their exploitative profits to destroy those with far better ethics (and software).

@danie10 Nice one. I'm on a similar journey. Ditched Disqus comments on my blog and have been implementing Matomo for all my analytics (running my own instance via Docker). It's a very nice option!

Another thought regarding #Kestrel3 : instead of Tripos, write a single address space subset of Plan 9. That way, when I can afford to support a PMMU, I can port a real Plan 9 system over, and I wouldn't have to completely rewrite all the utilities and documentation I'd've no doubt built up by then.

FML: why can't this be a simple decision?!

Don’t ask me if I’ve watched The Social Dilemma if you haven’t read The Prodigal Tech Bro.

I get a ton more comments and interesting interactions on my fediverse account than I do on my twitter account to the stuff I write about, but I guess that's hardly surprising since my work mostly involves the fediverse

I'm working on site today for the first time in weeks and have discovered that nature is reclaiming our offices.

Dr. Meza Cano also submitted an additional version of this talk in Spanish as well!

"Decentralized Social Networks vs. The Trolls" by @Argus is hands down the highest amount of polish I've ever seen at a conference talk EVER. It's all animated! How on earth did @Argus manage to do all this work? https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d8c8ed69-79f0-4987-bafe-84c01f38f966

And the talk really delivers on its subject, with actual data and interviews. It's good journalism and highlights how, even though I think the moderation tools we have on the fediverse are today, fediverse admins are *making them work* with huge success.
