@lightweight Interesting! Well I don't know that there has been any government-wide official policy, but I just have seen several projects at US govt agencies using CC-0. So it looks to me like things are moving that way.

@lightweight In the US, Section 105 of the Copyright Act says that all work created by the federal government has no copyright protection and is part of the public domain. This includes software.

This post suggests that best practices are converging on releasing code created by the US government under CC-0

@tpheine @jwildeboer Congrats! Unfortunately I am also unable to follow you from my pixelfed instance, even when searching for the instance/username URL nothing appears. There do seem to be some big federation issues still. If you want to try to follow me, I'll add you back if it works. I am at pixel.sendero.social/mattp

@strypey I agree with you. I was disappointed on reading Masnick’s techdirt piece. It’s fine to critique the film but he does so in a completely unhelpful way

@lightweight yes I like DigitalOcean. I host a pixelfed instance on a droplet from them

In the wake of the huge response to The Social Dilemma, I feel like the time has come to really push forward on Fyre Exyt, a project to create a detailed guide to escaping the datafarms.

I envisioned a page for each datafarm, to describe:

* what data users can export and how
* how to delete your account
* what liberating software / services could be the best replacement for various use cases of the datafarm

It's a big project. Anyone keen to help?

"Platform cooperatives are a tool for creating quality jobs on a large scale and they are already a reality! At a time when the concentration of big tech companies is through the roof, this course is not limited to generating an analysis and vigilance of capitalism. It prepares people for success as platform entrepreneurs in the exponentially growing ecosystem that is the gig economy."

We really need to come up with a less geeky word than "instance" to describe ... well ... instances. Also another word to describe accounts. On the Wikipedia page for the fediverse someone has tried out "identities", but it feels a bit clunky. I don't think it will take.

I hate to ask, but here goes.

I'm looking for a role as a #frontend #developer. #Contracts or #fulltime. Preferably #UK where I have previous #remote work ex from.

I've been looking a while and nothing with the right fit has come along. Work life balance is super important. If UK, happy to work completely in your timezone!

My site is rusingh.com and I'm happy to email you my CV/resume. Will start immediately once we're on the same page. 💯

#Boost please?

Did your employer participate in the boycott in July?

We raised awareness, but Zuck dismissed our demands. The protest must continue. Here is a template for raising the issue at your next all hands meeting.
