I’m sitting at an airport waiting for my connection to Denver (where GUADEC 2024 is happening, if you haven’t heard!), so I wrote a blog post.

Huge props to @pietrodc0 for kicking this discussion off in a hallway at GUADEC, and @hughsie for all his work on ODRS itself.

Let’s talk about stars and thumbs. ⭐👍

Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instance are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

@polenz_r Niemand hat je was anderes behauptet. Was für ein Strohmann-Argument.

@polenz_r tja. Ist halt Kapitalismus.

"More than 40 leading scientists have resigned en masse from the editorial board of a top science journal in protest at what they describe as the “greed” of publishing giant Elsevier."

Elsevier's profit margin is around 40%. Claiming that academic publishers prey on researchers, more than forty leading scientists are setting up "a nonprofit open-access journal".

Publicly-funded knowledge should be free.

Now that VK_EXT_shader_object is out, I've got some thoughts...

Before I dig in, a disclaimer: I am NOT speaking on behalf of Khronos or the Vulkan working group. I also no longer work for a hardware vendor. I'm just very well-connected within the 3D graphics community.

"We found that [Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, the two largest pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies] did not actually invent most of the drugs they sell. Indeed, it appears they have already reduced their investment in the discovery of new medicines to the point where the threat of additional reductions rings hollow and is no longer a persuasive reason for opposing legislation to lower drug prices."
