@pixelcats And I can actually understand the words! Lee Mujin almost fell from his bench.

@TheDJ Most TikTok users probably have YouTube and Instagram apps on their phones, so it's a safe bet that those competitors will gain some market share (in terms of minutes spent on their services). How much I have no idea. TikTok is reportedly planning to shut down everything, SOPA blackout style.

@element Thanks! A very reasonable price if you ask me. Italy is planning to spend *billions* to supposedly secure their insecure military messaging at the network layer.

@TheDJ They're not banning the vice, only a particular brand of it. Prohibit one seller of vodka and people will switch to the other sellers of vodka (Facebook, YouTube).

@element Would you be able to name a price if one such "nation-scale deployment" wanted to pay you to switch Synapse Pro to AGPL and maintain it as such for, say, 5 years?

@neil 40 €/y for my local shell account association (https://www.kapsi.fi/) which I can use for SOCKS proxying over SSH.

@jessamyn The primary list is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Microblogging_handles

@ilumium My Italian bank waited until January 9th to announce it. Now I have three options for a bank transfer: "ordinary" (gratis), "urgent" (not gratis) and instant (also gratis). So you now need to pay extra to delay the transfer by a few hours (but less than a day). Fun times.

I just sent an instant #SEPA bank transfer from Italy to Finland and it actually showed up immediately on the target account, despite the target bank being a bit of a laggard in these things. Not bad! A few months ago it only worked correctly with Nordea (a bank under direct ECB supervision).

I find #FOSDEM sponsors generally bad but also very easy to ignore at the event. Probably they have little leverage because the budget is so low (thanks to volunteers and ULB).

An exercise in collective action I'd like: a crowdfunding to "buy out" all non-pure-FLOSS sponsors. If the target is reached, FOSDEM VZW cancels those sponsorships and gets the funds from the pot. (The first year you need to pad the offer due to the extra work created. Afterwards you can book early at a lower fee.)

@davidgerard Not sure about doing "work", but at least they generated a price hike for both GSuite and O365, on the same day, of the same amount (2-3 $ per user). Something that would normally scream "cartel!" can now just be attributed to an unavoidable megatrend falling from the sky.

@pintoch That's a reasonable start. ;)

I automatically started thinking you were getting ready for CRA compliance or something. Professional hazard.

@pintoch An incorporated org or what? I'm up for any bureaucratic aspect, but I don't know anything about treesitter. If the budget is going to be limited, SPI Inc. or similar might be a suitable host.

@boud Do you really need a database? You only need a single entry: everything which used to exist before 2023-10-07 has been destroyed.

@stefan It's in https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap

@petersuber I'd bet ProQuest is trying to sell such services, given https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/11/13/proquest-is-quietly-trying-to-license-academic-books-to-feed-an-ai/ and https://about.proquest.com/en/blog/2019/History-Vault-Newspapers-and-More-New-Primary-Sources-Content-in-2019/ ; whether they succeeded, I don't know.

@mario Hmm https://opencollective.com/search?q=pixelfed&sortBy=ACTIVITY , of these I know https://opencollective.com/postersunionaustralia by @shlee@aus.social / @shlee@pixelfed.au .

Pro tip: if you plan to dismiss data breaches as merely hypothetical risks, don't keep 5 years of web access logs which trivially prove the breach was in fact exploited.

@NikTheDusky https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWL59XLF remains in the race for me

Is this maybe happening? The amount to raise is $8,933 now!

Did you see how we stood up for the AGPL in our recent amicus brief? We worked so hard over the holidays to make that happen...
