⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️
The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
Reading "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder (2024). From page 201:
"If freedom is a right, maintained the philosopher Joseph Raz, then it is also a duty. Freedom cannot be selfish. To declare oneself free is to promise to act such that others can be free. We must imagine a society of free people and try to build it. Morally, logically, and politically, there is no freedom without solidarity."
Digital sovereignty can only be achieved with Free Software! That’s why, in our feedback to the Germany Stack consultation, we call for the Stack to be implemented entirely as Free Software.

Migrating #Dillo from GitHub to our self-hosted server.
I wrote a post about the current situation with #GitHub and how we ended up self-hosting our own infrastructure to be robust against data loss. We now store all important data (including issues) in git repositories which are replicated accross #Codeberg and #Sourcehut.
@eliasr To play the games, you need to install Luanti version 5.14.0. You can get Luanti at: https://www.luanti.org/en/downloads/

Nu rapporterar även SVT om forskningen om att socmed kan göras mindre splittrande. Mastodon och Bluesky nämns som alternativ
"För första gången har forskare lyckats visa att bara ordningen på flödet i våra sociala medier räcker för att öka den politiska splittringen i samhället. Men det finns en ljusglimt.
– Det är ingen naturlag att sociala medier måste splittra oss – och det finns alternativ, säger digitala experten Carl Heath på Rise."
