@nikitonsky @simongray idk, fuck Vonnegut's opinion on that; I'm going to use them more now.

@faoluin @cwebber nevertheless she persisted

@cwebber people do say they like the vibes at bluesky. Maybe doge could get that feel in the code too

@cwebber it could easily be decentralised with a bit of funding from someone like Thiel or Musk. Nothing a bit of VC or advertising can't fix /s

@Fragglemuppet I agree completely. The fact that we have something to improve upon is great.

This has really been brought home to me as I think I may no longer be able to or want to use software that enriches American companies.

We need to make these tools better and available to everyone

Does anyone else find it completely amazing that there are a number of free and shareable alternatives to software made by multi billion dollar companies that are even worth consideration as alternatives?

Not all by volunteers, but often, and sometimes rescued by volunteers

@openrightsgroup I've responded to the above from ORG on e2ee. I'm replying to their call so that those who have my boosts muted see it. Pls, if you are in the UK go and add your name: https://social.openrightsgroup.org/@openrightsgroup/114138483825193714

So, who outside the US is moving their business/professional stuff away from Google/ms/GitHub and other US providers onto stuff in your own country or the EU?

What has and hasn't worked?

@MediaActivist @onepict @how as you've nibbled, now I get to ask you how we start :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

@onepict they do seem to be dropping the things that made dealing with their various problems worth it.

@onepict I feel I want/need a Free software union rather than a Free software institute.

I'd like to have a federation of the regional things to help share resources and what we learn. This does have the risk/drawback of centralisation.

@onepict almost certainly, given that the current institutions aren't serving the needs of the broader community but are instead following the sweet, sweet, funding monies

@MediaActivist @how

Has anyone done a literate #orgmode #guix config?

@PythonLinks @tim I think you still need to organise with the h1b employees. They need to get better terms too

@rysiek I think there is an important bit of racism you've missed - some racists are happy to have other races around in a hierarchy they approve of. Some racists want other races eliminated from their areas.

I'd like to have org mode navigation that was 95% like sexp navigation (and with the same keybindings) #emacs #orgmode

@cwebber @jackeric the work you are doing with spritely is inspirational and making me think about doing long term work in scheme

I wouldn't say I'm a #guix user.

I'm someone who wants to use guix but keeps failing when he wants to add new software or new versions of software

We've really underestimated the risks of billionaire owners of essential institutions and infrastructure. Where was this on the map?

@civodul lists.gnu.org down?
