This quoted from an article that in itself had a lot to criticize on, but I liked that particular definition of Purity Spirals as a concept.

Posted on our community forum about it, here: community.humanetech.com/t/soc

A wie "Alphabet", M wie "Meta", und Z wie "Zoom". Ob wir wohl ein ganzes Überwachungs-ABC zusammenbekämen?

@gamer my parents run linux just fine. it just works for them.

this preconception you have that linux requires tinking & fixing & debugging: it's your conception. it's one widely held, and this conception is, more than Linux, what holds linux back from adoption. there is a poisonous mindset about what linux is & how it works.

linux does need to make gains too. but it's hard to figure out how to help, when it's shallow & narrow preconceptions that try to steer the conversation.

I’ve been making veiled comments about a situation in the Linux desktop community for a while, and I think it’s finally time to lift the curtain: https://blogs.gnome.org/christopherdavis/2021/11/10/system76-how-not-to-collaborate/

System76 has not been kind downstream, and they’ve made a habit of talking poorly about their upstream projects and then using that as a jumping point to market their own projects.

I think in the end, history has shown upstreams to be in the right more often than not, and that egocentric model of former employers to be a detriment.

But honestly, I just wish people would freaking work together on solving issues instead of starting spats on social media.

Hard to belive but Nextcloud is the most popular collaboration software in Germany. Ahead of Microsoft, Google, Dropbox and many others. This is the result of a voting of over 60.000 IT professionals. nextcloud.com/blog/first-in-ge

#PSA

in light of recent events

It's NOT OK to use #zoom as a video conference "solution" for your anti-capitalist meetup (oh, the irony!) or group or whatever.

Or even a regular conference.

Those seemingly innocuous "tools" aren't really free.

It's not a neutral choice. It excludes critical people.

So please, PLEASE if you know an expert, DO ASK THEM FIRST before deciding based on what you think you know!

They might well be able to help out with something that's just as good but ethical.

On November 9th, I'll be talking on PackagingCon about creating Flatpak packages without using flatpak-builder:

pretalx.com/packagingcon-2021/

The talks are just 20 minutes long, so it's focused on "how do I achieve something functional" rather than technical deep dive. See you there!
