En ny favoritartikel på svenskspråkiga #Wikipedia: Svartå socken. Så mycket kärlek som har lagts på den artikeln med fina kartor, diagram, bilder och källor. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svartr%C3%A5_socken

On this day 9 years ago, I started my company Open By Default. (It went through a pause and a move from Sweden to the Netherlands during that time.) If you need any help in anything becoming more open or advice about working in the open, I'm here to help! https://openbydefault.se #OpenByDefault #otd #OnThisDay

This is quite the niche topic, so may not be for everyone, but if you are curious about what kind of AI tools are gently being rolled out on #Wikipedia and how they will be used by the communities of volunteers, this #podcast where I interview Sam Walton from @wikimediafoundation may be interesting. https://wikipediapodden.se/automoderator-294/

I'm creating a lightning talk, and I'm looking for fun stories or anecdotes of people in serious settings totally misunderstanding #OpenSource. I already have some great examples that @bagder has shared over the years, so now it's up to you others to chip in!

I know that there are different conventions if a week starts on a Monday or a Sunday. But why, oh why, is LinkedIn giving me this notification on a Wednesday?

För exakt två år sedan släppte vi avsnitt 200 av @wikipediapodden och gästades av @JohanJ
https://wikipediapodden.se/avsnitt-200-om-att-prata-om-wikipedia/
#otd

Om allt flyter på kommer vi troligtvis till avsnitt 300 någon gång i februari. Är det något du undrat över om #wikipedia som vi borde ta upp?

@pfefferle

I hope this is clear enough: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/976

@ainali@wikipediapodden.se @pfefferle It seems to have done the trick! Thanks! Although it's sad that the episode artwork cannot also be shown at the same time. Showing that over the profile picture would be ideal, but I imagine that is something happening on the client end.

@pfefferle oh, I'll try that. Where should I put it?

@pfefferle @dothewoo.io @BobWP @derekahanson @Mastodon not sure what the blog post means by being the first, but @wikipediapodden has been releasing podcasts on the Fediverse through self-hosted WordPress and the ActivityPub plug-in for many months (most from @ainali@wikipediapodden.se).

A not so short summary of my most busy #Fediverse month of the year so far.

On another blue app, I still enjoy getting served Memories, posts from the past. I will start transferring some of my favorites here. On this day, 8 years ago, I was in a team with @abbe98 (and some more people I haven't found on the Fediverse yet) at Hack for Heritage, and we won the Code class by developing https://kyrksok.se
The pitch can be seen at https://vimeo.com/188287607?share=copy#t=3128.792

As a follow-up, is there some #Fediverse app that does something like "on this day x years ago" for an account?

@RuiSeabra Under settings, and Basic information, there is a label "Global account:" What does it say ? Possibly you can merge them through the button "Manage your global account".

There is no beer in the desert, but Death was too shook to realize that and just followed along gently.

In the deep desert, much like in space, no one can hear you scream.

Some time later, only James returned.

*Everyone* lived, surprised, ever after.

@lxo I think you are likely right, and then an ambiguous license wouldn't be deemed to be aligned.

I haven't thought much yet but something like this might be enough "The freedom to study how the program works, and in any manner change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1)."

@lxo I know it is not supposed to. It is kind of my point that it does anyway as generous interpretation shouldn't be needed in definitions like these.

A random thought struck me. Freedom 1 of the four software freedoms says: "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1)." and it seems to only care about the end result "so it does your computing as you wish". This leads me to believe that it should be possible to limit the development models through licensing as long as that model can produce that result in theory. Has this loophole already been discussed? #freesoftware #opensource

For example, a license could say: "you can change this to do anything you wish, as long as you are not using SCRUM to get there" or "you can change this to do anything you wish, as long as you are not using a proprietary code repository platform". In both, anyone still have the freedom to get to the end, but the road there is limited.
