Beyond commons, map making has become part of my daily activity. I enjoy marking places to OpenStreetMap, primarily because it gives me a purpose to go out instead of spending hours in front of my laptop screen and also it helps me learn more about my locality which was invisible to me even though I use the same tracks often.
Glider Ink is a project seeking to explain how hackers understand technology and how that affects their daily lives.
Stories of an inventor trying to change the world before it changes her, an activist trying to avoid calamities only he understands and an anarchist wanting to live independently and give more than she takes.

So I realize I've been thinking of social networks as graph-based and set-based.
Graph-based means you follow other users and get a feed of their posts. (E.g. Facebook, Goople, birdsite, here).
Set-based means you are either in or out and if you're in, your feed is the same as everyone else who's in. (E.g. subreddits, mailing lists, USENET groups, web fora.)
For all you #peertube admins out there can you please accept to Federate with @blender since the conference there's been an upgrade and reboot of their presence.
Unfortunately instance admins need to re-accept before the videos get spread.
@djsumdog It's a complex question, before you think about your own ethics.
Robin Hood took the money from the rich to help the poors, that's fine and a good idea, but never Robin Hood as a nice Logo on her flags to promote one of the rich "donator".
We need to move away from this "everything needs a sponsor", we should think how we can as a community create sustainable events. Maybe our current events are juste too big to be fully supported by the community. Maybe parts of the refexion need to be done here.
We are slave of the "free" everything. It's a trap, everything as a price, if you pay with money, your time or whitewash someone... at the end you pay the price. @aral@loic@indie@yukiame
Since my childhood, one of my aunt used to call me as "Brhaspati" whenever I failed to understand something which she tried to convey. I have asked her, what does it mean. She replied the same. Brhaspati means "makku" in tamil i.e one who is ignorant or a slow learner.
Ha, today I understood why Brhaspati which sounds like a name is used to denote that. It is indeed a name of an ancient Indian sage who also wrote Brhaspati Sutras (a text on materialism and atheism). Indeed I am a Brhaspati. 😇
#System76 is releasing a new open-source computer, available for preorder next month. In the coming weeks, before the finalized hardware is announced, a four-part animation will be released weekly, with design updates hidden within a game portion of the story.
