Huh, I think I might have found a solution for the problem in Matrix where 'roles' are really difficult to implement because they break orderability assumptions in the stateres protocol

The tragedy of the commons is that under capitalism we don’t have one.

All 10 Irish bands listed as official Republic Of Ireland showcase artists at this year’s SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas have cancelled their participation after news that the US Army was listed as a festival “Featured Partner”, along with and defence companies RTX (formally Raytheon), Collins Aerospace, and BAE Systems.
The wave of cancelations include 70 additional bands from countries other than Ireland.

Single vendor isn’t a reasonable way to do #OpenSource and resist evil proprietary software. https://opensource.net/why-single-vendor-is-the-new-proprietary/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=mastodon #OpenSource

In de politiek wordt nu een frame voorgehouden dat het 'demonstratierecht' zich in de afgelopen jaren ontwikkeld zou hebben. Dat is dikke onzin. Het recht is niet wezenlijk veranderd, behalve dat de burgemeesters vaker misbruik maken van hun bevoegdheden om demonstraties te onderdrukken. Wat veranderd is, is dat burgers hun recht om te demonstreren vaker gebruiken.

Some elevators help you envision equivalent measurement classifications.

A knowledge differential is a power dynamic, and if your system is not documented to a degree that people can wholly independently understand it, you hold power over them and should be taking on the corresponding responsibilities

it's hard wanting to be less cynical while also remaining aware of how fucked up things are

Hello dear Fediverse, if you receive this message this means time travel is successful. In my timeline it is the year 2006 and I am curious what will await me in the future.
Please tell me how is the world like in your timeline and what are some changes I can expect when my timeline catches up with yours.
I will reply to you back later. In the meantime I will check out a Linkin Park CD I got from a friend.

This is your random reminder, asking for help takes spoons and courage, but also, sometimes, is actually helpful.
I would encourage you to identify who the tech dude is in *your* FOSS community with a governance problem, and start drawing more attention to their role in the issue

This ICE entered Köln Hbf without stopping on the bridge. I didn't knew that was even possible. 🤯

Dear vegans: be very cautious when buying orange juice in the Netherlands. The largest producer is now adding 0,02% cow milk to some variants to avoid the recently raised sugar taxes 😵💫
Perhaps the most frustrating part of this all is that if the situation continues for long enough, lateral violence often starts happening - nobody can hold the dude at the top accountable, therefore people start trying to hold *each other* accountable, even if nobody involved in those conflicts actually has the power to do anything about it
Like, I've seen and been involved with tons of governance issues in FOSS communities over the years, and I've lost count of how often it's just a situation of "everyone in the community is working really hard to make this work, and solving all the difficult problems, and then the entire effort grinds to a halt because of one singular white tech dude at the top being uncooperative or 'not seeing the problem' or being unwilling to delegate responsibility"
Behind every FOSS governance problem is seemingly a tech dude who holds the keys but just doesn't care
