💉💰 #Vaccine makers took BILLIONS of dollars in public funding. So why are they keeping #COVID19 vaccines from lower-income countries?

🗣️ Join in calling on #Pfizer #Moderna and others to #ShareTheScience and help end the #COVID #pandemic.

if you agree.

👴 OK kids...

Before #Mastodon, before #socialMedia, before the #Web, we had the #BBS.

If you wanna learn from those who came before, here's a comprehensive 5-hour #documentary about bulletin board systems. 🤓

(Of course, given the world back then it's mostly 5 hours of old white guys. So it goes!)

Can't believe after all those posts I forgot to include a link to the membership form. Here it is:

Here's something I've been helping out with for the past couple weeks.

Freedom of the Press Foundation has launched a membership program. You can connect with a community of defenders of Press Freedom and also get SWAG.

I can guarantee the swag is top notch. Wearing my extra soft (and stylish!) FPF hoodie right now.

Not to brag too much, but I designed this logo and now you get to wear it.

Hey previous #RightsCon participants, Access Now is taking money from Amazon, Zoom, Google, and Facebook again for the upcoming conference #rightscon2022.

I think this qualifies as "putting Rightscon's mission at risk" (https://www.rightscon.org/fundingpolicy/), since those companies are a major structural reason that privacy is impossible for many whose rights are threatened. What do you think?

The awesome organisation I work for, The Restart Project, are currently fundraising - https://donate.thebiggive.org.uk/campaign/a056900002FQbXSAA1

We do a bunch of work with organising community #repair groups (repair cafes etc) and campaign for the #RightToRepair in the UK and EU.

Donations + boosts appreciated, will help us keep doing what we do!

plus donations are match funded up until Friday

we don't intend to ever get very big. my dream is many many small coops, each tailored to their members' needs, collaborating with each other in networks of mutual aid and solidarity.

if you're considering starting a new enterprise i strongly encourage you to start a coop. if that's interesting please reach out to us! we're also giving a talk on the subject tonight at 7pm EST https://gamecenter.nyu.edu/event/nyu-game-center-lecture-series-presents-andy-wallace-and-ramsey-nasser/

i spent the bulk of the last year getting a worker-owned technology cooperative off the ground! all my paid professional work is now done through the EMMA Technology Cooperative

https://emma.coop/

EMMA is me, @andymakes Ivan Safrin and Gwen Pasquarello. it's an experiment in non-hierarchical consensus-based labor organization, and it has been an absolute thrill to work in a way that aligns with my principles for the first time!

Just invited RNZ (https://rnz.co.nz) and NineToNoon in particular to join this Mastodon after their weekly 'tech pundit', Mark Pesce, blithely dismissed the Fediverse as a viable alternative to Twitter in a segment looking at the implications of the Musk buy-out. I think Pesce makes most of his money by talking about the big centralised badly behaved tech behemoths, and it's in his interest to throw shade at the alternatives that don't fit his narrative & don't offer him punditry value.

As we are a #FOSS community, I thought it would be a good idea to ask: Who is #hiring?

Looking for a new challenge.

I am really good at:

- #infosec marketing
- #technicalwriting
- #marketing
- #infosec
- #scripting (#python)

Hoping to bypass the HR filter. If you are #recruiting at a humane company that respects & values employees, please reach out!

As Free Software Community of India(https://fsci.in), we would like to promote Fediverse on this occassion on our blog post.

Any suggestions/feedback to improve it? Trying to write concisely for new users.
