@Sustainable2050 Dependency on Starlink is a trap anyway.

@Codeberg @as9136 Please let us know in case you need funding. I feel like some of us would be happy to help to the extent they can.

Nicht-antifaschistisch sein ist genau genommen eine radikal menschenfeindliche Einstellung 🤔

@FediTips Does somebody know about a federated scientific publishing+reviewing platform? Or any work related to this?

Please boost for reach.

@FediTips I'm asking because the current state feels pretty wrong: public money is used to fund research, some researchers to all the hard work. Then once all the work is completely done the copyright of the publication is transferred to a publisher and people even pay for that (not the publisher pays, the research team!). Then people have to pay the publisher to access the outcome of the publicly funded research.

Everybody in science knows the problem.

@320x200 @how Main sponsor of FOSDEM is Google, kind of a billionaire as well. They'd better pay taxes. Just saying.

@aral @ShadowJonathan @SrEstegosaurio And EU want's to spend 40 billions for the chips act (likely all proprietary technology). 50K would disappear in the noise.

BTW Did you consider applying again? There's new calls and new funding:

@aral @opensourcedesign @simulo @fosdem There seems to be #OFFDEM in parallel. Probably you know it better than me though. Would be nice to see some folks walking over there.

@aral Thanks for the explanation! That's actually good to know.
Is there some better naming for a "new small company" which will stay small?

@aral Is this a generally accepted meaning of 'startup'? I always thought the term refers to any type of new company, but have no clue.

@marcel @Jain @adfichter @exception

Wie @adfichter sehe ich oft wie Diskussionen rund um Überwachung abdriften zur Frage ob die Technologie denn gut genug dafür ist.

Das hilft den Überwachern. Denn es lenkt von der grundlegenden Frage ab: "Wollen wir überhaupt überwacht werden?"

Zumal kann Technik verbessert werden. Auch können Rohdaten oder Zwischenresultate langfristig gespeichert werden um eine nachträgliche Auswertung mit besseren Algorithmen zu erzielen.

@ArneBab @humanetech Exactly that: "Use a copyleft-licensed project with outside contributors if you want the project to stay free."

And as mentioned, the outside contributors must remain copyright holders of their contribution. So there should not be any transfer of the Copyright upon contribution.
