Ola Blini "travels
too much to neighboring countries and reads technical books" according to Ecuadorian police.

Ola Blini was arrested 3 days ago as he was boarding a plane to Japan on a scheduled business trip.

The U.S.A. empire cracks down on hackers while the E.U. empire cracks down on freedom of expression online. Bad times for freedom.

#FreeOlaBlini

Last day of March 2019.

#ChelseaManning still endures torture for refusing to take part in a secretive judicial system that aims to threaten publishers around the world from indicting them for publishing the truth about (U.S.) government misconduct, effectively shunning the First Amendment of U.S. Constitution.

#RealityWinner still is in jail for revealing proof of Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election process.

Where's #fediverse support to these courageous women?

Reminder: "Annoying troublemaker with fast autofocus and terapixel resolution."

If you come to me with criticism, you're very welcome, because I love constructive criticism and interference.

But please, ensure before hitting "TOOT!" that your criticism actually applies to my arguments, and avoid trying to essentialize my position or attack my integrity.

Thank you.

#GMAFIA stands for

Google
Microsoft
Amazon
Facebook
IBM
Apple

I can discriminate against them, coz I have that superpower of retournement. Beware.

Four days ago, this post was censored on meta.discourse.org.

Can you tell me why?

John Zorn's organ concert was pretty amazing. For the last part he invited... Barbara Hannigan? The duo was crazy, him, playing the monumental organ bare foot and her, standing on her giant heels, covering the behemoth with her cristaline soprano. Wow.

Existe-t-il une organisation contre les #trottinettes à #BXL ?

Si vous vous demandez pourquoi ces trucs vous dérangent, ou si vous ne vous le demandez pas, regardez un peu comment leurs apps vous traquent et réfléchissez sur l'espace public que vous désirez.

Je n'ai pas trouvé BIRD et TROTY sur @exodus mais je pense bien qu'ils ne se gênent pas non plus.

Stupid is the new normal.

Reminder

Do not say #GAFAM anymore: now that IBM bought RedHat, you can say #GMAFIA.

I feel like I need to sit down, stop watching stuff, look around, see where I'm totally not in favor of *Cloud, and explain that to the people who still think the Internet is something of our default infrastructure, like air, water, and land. No, no, no. This is a political thing.

BTW, I will stop using #GAFAM as a word. Instead I will use #GMAFIA for Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, and Apple. It sounds more appropriate. This is PRISM. NSA land. Fuck them all.

@zacchiro
I totally agree that size is not the issue and that shielding programme from sponsorship is required. But why would Palantir be a problem and not Google or Microsoft? In this moment of history, these latter two are at least as problematic as the former. By accepting them as legitimate sponsors, we grant them a legitimacy that they do not deserve.

https://forum.enough.community/c/events/prepare-fosdem-2019 is now public for #ActivityPub round table preparation.

I hope this will motivate people to get a bit more involved. It's only 2 weeks left to #FOSDEM2019, so I start worrying about the community's capacity to act collectively and bring something interesting at FOSDEM.

On my way to Amsterdam for the kickoff meeting of the NGI0 consortium. Don't forget the upcoming deadline in 15 days to submit a two-pager proposal to receive EU funding for your #freesoftware project.

Quoting @cwebber in https://dustycloud.org/blog/on-standards-divisions-collaboration/:

"participants in the decentralized social web is so good at fighting each other that apparently we do that work for them.

But it doesn't have to be that way. You might be able to come to consensus on a good way forward. And if you can't come to consensus, you can at least have friendly and cooperative communication."

Looking at https://gnu.org/consensus

Maybe it should be renamed GNU ControVerse.

@bob I think it's more appropriate to define decentralization in terms of power structures.

Look at Bitcoin: it was supposed to be completely distributed, but then, 10 years later, a single table of 5 people represented 90+% of the whole mining power.

If you look at the Fediverse, and especially at where do the servers run, you might end up with a majority of Amazon servers... That's probably not what we should be calling decentralization.

#FOSDEM2019 Keynote...

Now it's Deb Nicholson omitting the central question: who the fuck needs a blockchain? Then, why is it sold as a general computing solution?

#FOSDEM2019 keynote...

Quoting: "In this talk, we will report on where the resistance fails the most and why. Finally, we will make suggestions of where volunteer developers can most strategically focus their efforts to build a world where all can live in software freedom."

WTF. "volunteer developers"? What about full-time paid developers working on free software? What about public fucking infrastructure?

#ActivityPub implementors please ping me if you have not been invited to the preparation discussion for the AP round table at #FOSDEM2019

boosts appreciated. Direct invitation from people already there most appreciated :)

Okay... The public Internet is gone.

Good, one less shitty site to read and waste my time on.
