If there’s anything that shouldn’t have bosses it’s #foss. How did we get here?
OTOH there’s millions of pieces of foss work out there that are made by one programmer, so this boss problem seems worse for larger projects, which are the minority in terms of numbers but which command most of the visibility/awareness of foss.
Perhaps the boss is an emergent property of size/scale...?

holy shit teenvogue is openly calling for a worker's revolution and I am LIVING
here's the article calling for a general strike:
jəˈrunˈprɑːt
Your attention please!
Today is the Dutch #activist and #anarchist Joke Kaviaar arrested and send to jail. She must stay in jail for 71 days.
Joke is also active on Mastodon (and therefore the Fediverse) under the alias @Jo.
Her arrest was not a surprise, cause she lost earlier this month her last appeal. She must go to jail cause she first published alleged seditious texts, criticizing in her unique creative style the Dutch #asylum policy. The second reason was an action in a municipal council chamber against the #deportation of children and their families. So yes, she has to go to jail because of a now forbidden text and a non-violent action.
Read more about this all here:

This is the side of the #Netherlands you don't hear about comrades. So please don't think this country is a free haven. It' s a neo-liberal tax haven, and don't you dare to criticize the state. Of course the Dutch national media is silent about this and that in the same week as a near government coalition conflict about child deportation.
Please boost to show your #solidarity!

Whenever a web browser, operating system, or web site gains dominance among users, it stops being cool and starts becomes blatantly abusive.
This Chromium nonsense is just more of what we saw from Internet Explorer.
Every generation of geeks learns this anew, and acts all shocked. Learn some history, folks. Learn from those who came before.
Stop supporting only one platform. Variety is ESSENTIAL. Monocultures are death. #sysadmin

look, bosses either need to give workers a fucking raise, or get of the way so people can collectivize.
if anything, bosses should get out of the way period, but because (f)oss is a total shitshow that prioritizes bosses, on both funded and unfunded projects, libertarianism abounds.
tech has always been like this. anti-union, pro-boss, anti-worker. this is nothing new.
fuck bosses

I really don’t need any more old computers (in fact, I need less), but seeing stuff like this makes it really hard to resist picking-up my favorite old Mac, the SE/30...

@ericbuijs thanks! There’s a lot to do before I can do anything useful with it, and I expect to have some problems, but having a laser in the lab is going to seriously reduce my iteration time.

@thegibson what exactly is the data, EEG?
jjg
@thegibson this is excellent

@rekh127 that’s possible, there’s not shortage of them :)

@cstanhope indeed 😁

@rekh127 I agree it won’t fix everything, but it’s a start. When I say Critical thinking I’m talking about the specific discipline vs. being generally reasonable.

Okay friends of port 70, guardians of the gopher, lovers of plaintext and long form content, the process has begun. I am very new to android dev and this is slow going, but enthusiastic to announce start of a new gopher client project for android.
Want to keep things as simple and elegant as possible, but already having tons of cool ideas about functionality.

Thanks to @asos for their fast response—that their initial letter should never have been sent. We welcome the apology and hope that this case serves as an example to others who might send careless or overbroad trademark threats. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/01/eff-client-responds-ludicrous-collusion-trademark-threat
