In liquid, cooperative based organisations, several times I am experiencing that consensus is some how imposed by multiple factors (charisma, money, experience, money, power, money, factions, money, strategy) and forking is seen as a failure, ostracised or at least kept as last bullet.
What I am becoming conscious of, is that the ability of forking and most of all to manage forks and connect back together is a thermometer of the maturity level of any communities

a friend of mine works as a pet-sitter, and few days ago she wrote a negative feedback about a huge scam from a company that sells dogs with fake pedigrees (fostering the reproduction of dogs with genetical diseases, etc).
Now this company started slanders her over social profiles.
She seems to be up to go ahead and go with layers if necessary, tough she has not so much money and experience meanwhile the company is quite big and seems used to manage with all this shit.
Any suggestion?

oh no

I just realised something terrible:

Memes are just the political cartoons of this generation.

All this time, we've thought we've been creating something dangerous and disruptive and unthinkably cyber-future-forward and TEDx

but they're just political cartoons, like your great-grandma would have recognised

En août dernier l'excellente forge Gitlab migrait vers Google Cloud :-(
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/

Conséquence directe: le site n'est plus accessible depuis plusieurs pays. Conséquence indirecte : les informaticien⋅nes de ces mêmes pays ne peuvent même plus télécharger le code source (libre) de Gitlab pour l'installer sur leurs serveurs.

@Framasoft propose un miroir des dépôts Debian de Gitlab : https://apt.gitlab.mirror.framasoft.org/

N'hésitez pas à faire tourner l'info (dans d'autres langues si possible).

So who is creating a stack overflow competitor but on the Fediverse?

Bon, on recommence un dernière fois pour ceux et celles qui n’écoutent pas. La laïcité c’est le principe de séparation des églises et de l’État. C’est tout.
Choses qui peuvent être laïques :
— l’État.
Choses qui ne peuvent pas être laïques :
— une association ;
— une personne ;
— le couscous ;
— vos chaussettes.

What's a good way to reduce a bluray quality video into "VHS" quality using FOSS tools? :blobcatthinking2:

I'm not really looking for fake distortion and VHS artifacts but the overall 'fuzzy' effect VHS recorded SD quality television tend to have.

Just realized that I don't think there's a hashtag for sharing books and other reading materials. Following on the theme of #OurStreets for pictures of public agitprop and #OurBeats for radical music, I figured #OurReads might be a good one to go with.

Pourquoi est-il préférable d'utiliser des verbes d'action sur les boutons plutôt que "Oui", "Non, "Ok" ?

Lorsque les utilisateurs lisent un verbe d'action, ils savent ce que le bouton fera. Ils peuvent agir sans lire aucun texte de support tel qu'un dialogue de confirmation.

La preuve en image, avec un bloc de texte explicatif caché, l'action reste claire avec des verbes d'action

Le contrôleur scanne avec son téléphone le qrcode de mon billet. C'est lent, plus lent que de poinçonner un billet papier.

Au bar à café, le client paye avec la fonction NFC de son téléphone. C'est lent, plus lent que de payer en cash.

C'est marrant de voir que la transformation numérique, dans certain cas, diminue la productivité. Mais tant que ça améliore la surveillance, on y va toutes et tous (ou presque), yeux fermés.

What should I do with a Github repo after migrating it to another service? Keep the Github repo as an updated mirror? "Archive" the Github repo? Upload an empty repo with a README? Or just set a link to the new repo in the description? :blobthinking:
