@tomasino Honestly the BEST solution is for him to learn from this, grow as a person and to work towards making amends. On both sex assault and on trans issues.

But I'm not about to hold my breath.

Well Richard Stallman, founder of free software and the GNU project is going around defending MIT professors who participating the Epstein sex assault ring; from student protestors.

I think it's important when people, even leaders in your community do this sort of thing; that they are criticized.

Honestly, it pains me to say it, but free software has to be bigger than richard stallmen. Its time, probably past time for him to step down.

The app store for #eelo / #efoundation is highly suspect. Redistributing large amounts of proprietary software seemingly without license and mixing it with the hard work of #fdroid with zero transparency.

It would be interesting if it got a lot of attention and pressure could be brought to bear on the project, to hold itself to a higher standard. #android

Hey #Fediverse? Do you use an alternate Android ROM other than LineageOS or Replicant? Which and Why? #Android

Anyone clever worked out if game streaming is a lateral move in terms of carbon footprint? better? worse?

My Fiance is trying to make some money freelance. He is a very talented writer and has done editing for his employeer's marketing department for a number of years.

He has been advertising his services on more traditional social media sites; but it occurs to me folks on the Fediverse could need services too.

I've attached his flyer.

While teaching myself #scheme I have been toying with a cgi program. Its for doing #mastodon (and other #fediverse platform) share buttons. It handles the whole prompt for instance -> redirect to share URL in a way which avoids javascript.

Mainly because I want a javascriptless blag.

Any one else interested in such a thing? Trying to figure out how much polish I may or not want on the final version.

Starting to think scheme based CGI might make any target audience narrow.
