@neil I think that @conservancy are doing some legal things for free, based on donations. But of course they are quite small.

I planted some tomato seeds about 10 days ago, they all came up nicely so far and now they are about 3-4 cm tall. They were indoors until today but now I put them on the balcony, hoping the wind won't break them. Good luck, little guys!

@gperson @hailey @tenacity great to see this, for once things are working as they should:

(1) some "bigh tech" thing behaves in a way that is disgusting and unacceptable
(2) people move away from that awful thing to something better, in this case @Codeberg

🎉 😄

(I mean, too often it's like "this big tech thing is truly horrible. Now I'm going to keep using it as if nothing happened".)

> Many changes in my personal views have been initiated by remarks and questions of others

Do you remember specific things like that?

Annoyingly for me, I cannot really remember what my own thought process was when I started thinking about these things. I think it was probably gradual somehow, but there must have been some specific things I heard or read as well. I wish I had kept a diary so I could go back and look there. 🙂

@counterinduration känns alltid obekvämt för mig att vara på bild. Bra att det inte behövde vara mitt nylle på hela bilden i alla fall, kunde åtminstone delvis gömma mig bakom laptopskärmarna 🙂

@admin ni kanske kan lägga till https://liberapay.com/ som en möjlig väg att donera också? (Det skulle vara lättare för till exempel mig, som redan har konto där och donerar till ett gäng andra projekt.)

> I'd recommend against using Android at all

Good advice! Instead of using Android, I recommend moving away from the Google-controlled world and going with #MobileLinux #LinuxMobile -- see things like #phosh #mobian #postmarketos #ubports #purism #foss #floss #privacy @linmob @phosh

This is why it's good to have lots of stickers on your laptops: when you get interviewed and they publish a photo, your face may not be all that pretty but the laptops, they look great! 😆

@MaryAustinBooks I don't understand, what's the issue here? Is that not what he looks like, the photo has been edited in some way?

@JonTheNiceGuy oh and on top of all that, they (github) don't even support ipv6. 😆

@janvlug @Blort @furilabs

@JonTheNiceGuy are you aware that GitHub is owned by Microsoft, and that Microsoft is not only large but it is literally the largest company in the world?

The world's largest company, which made its profits on selling proprietary software and being a monopolist relying on vendor lock-in and so on, is given the role ot caretaker of FOSS. This situation is so extremely bad that it surprises me that so many FOSS projects go along with it.

@janvlug @Blort @furilabs

@JonTheNiceGuy thanks for explaining your reasoning.

I think that to some extent this is about how you view your own responsibility for the state of the world. When I see how messed up things are, I consider it my responsibility to not just play along but to do something.

But I think it may also be about awareness of the scale of the problem. The situation we have today is really, really bad.
