The #fedeproxy #forge federation project needs #diversity, from the start. Do you want to join?

Boost appreciated.

@ssafar Couldn't agree more. Docker is making developers lazy and leading to software that's impossible to install outside of the very specific hand-tweaked environment provided by the docker image.

"Installation: we recommend that you use Docker."

what I'm supposed to see: "hey, it's a simple one-liner! Such clean install, much wow."

what I actually see: "we couldn't figure out how to install this thing on anything but our own machine, but hey, here is a well-compressed image of our entire disk, use this instead so that we can stop trying"

happy world intellectual property day. remember to avoid websites such as libgen, z-lib, or sci-hub to avoid accidentally committing IP theft when getting legal copies of your books and papers

I wrote yesterday about how not to run a vulnerability disclosure program:

@resist1984

It's a trick question to get rid of 99% of the applicants. The successful candidate will be one who presents a viable plan for convincing management of the absurdity of using insecure, non-free tools for encouraging privacy, and convinces management of the practicality of switching to the free world.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (#EPIC) is looking to hire someone who can support #Microsoft 365 & #Zoom & who "is passionate about privacy and data protection". LOL. https://epic.org/epic/jobs.html#global-privacy-counsel

@grishka idea on 'compliance profiles' is intriguing. Though it is a big step in an already 'overworked' community.

We may address in a #FediverseFutures topic. Is *somewhat* related to FEP and FEDERATION.md in terms of bringing clarity on interop opportunity.

This is more formal, and complex when moving to many linked data vocabs.

Btw, did you see my Murmurations idea?

The @matrix URI news is absolutely terrific, I really can’t state how happy I am!

And it’s already in Firefox nightly, how cool is that?!

Friday! Time for This Week in Matrix! URI scheme news, plus servers, clients, spec, and more! https://matrix.org/blog/2021/04/23/this-week-in-matrix-2021-04-23 #twim #decentralisation #matrix

University banned from kernel development after professor and students repeatedly intentionally introduce security vulnerabilities into the Linux kernel.

Then they pull the inclusivity card when they're called out on it.

If you were wondering why Microsoft and all the rest are *really* big on Codes of Conduct and other shit that enables this sort of attack....

A short update on the Pinephone Keyboard add-on:

Many of you will receive your #pinephone BE in the next few days. Step #1- read the attached documentation, including the READ ME. Step #2 - update the #manjarolinux #kdecommunity installation via the UI updater or terminal. Have fun.

Here is my own contribution to the #RMS debate, about the open letter and #fsf and so on.

Comment on the open letter to "remove RMS", based on the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines

This is not another escalation, it's something else. It's about how we communicate. I thought a lot about it. Hopefully this can reach some of the people who signed the open letter.

Boosts welcome.

YouTube censors millions of videos every month.

They just hosted a Freedom of Expression event to give themselves an award for free expression.

I have no words.
