Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

Microsoft has released their new Terminal application to GitHub, marketing it as another demonstration of their commitment to "open source". While the project is MIT licensed, did you know it is inextricably linked and dependent upon numerous proprietary SDK tools, headers, and the Visual C++ ATL.

Do not be fooled, see through the mirage of feigned support to undermine and sabotage the original ethics of the free software movement!

Labor law is not workers’ law. That’s the lesson learned by pro-union workers at Volkswagen’s sole U.S. factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Please Let’s Never Call Uber “The Future of Work” Ever Again

It was back in 2015 that Obama administration alum David Plouffe, freshly decamped to Silicon Valley, firstsuggested that the gig economy was “the future of work.”

@poncio @funkwhale I've been using http://beets.io/ so far and it's served me well so far. I even wrote a little plugin that automatically uploads imported tracks using https://github.com/RodrigoLeiteF/funkwhale-cli (shameless plug). It makes working with tags a lot easier, since there's barely any manual work to be done.
