Dear #fediverse. I work as an #architect and design buildings that harm the planet. I am looking for a practicing #engineer who can teach me building energy modelling using #opensource tools. I have a background in software dev, run #gentoo #linux and am willing to learn down to the details.

I do not have a background in heat transfer or thermodynamics, which is why I am asking for a tutor.

I promise to use this to design better buildings.

Please help retoot this so I can find someone.

Humanity can not be made equal by declarations on paper. Unless the material conditions for equality exist, it is worse than mockery to pronounce men equal.

Ya des gens sur Toulouse que ca intéresse de faire un atelier sur comment utiliser des clés pour l'authentification a deux facteurs ? (type yubikeys https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ )
On pourrait en commander quelques unes et les installer ensemble (repouet appréciés)

Centralised web wisdom: if your web app doesn’t work without JavaScript, it is broken.

Peer web wisdom: If your web app works without JavaScript, it is not decentralised.

JavaScript isn’t the enemy; servers are.

(Read this as many times as necessary for it to really sink in as it’s literally the opposite of what folks, myself included, popularised on the centralised web for nearly two decades. If your app works without JavaScript, it means you have logic on a centralised server somewhere.)

Linux on the desktop: because it's easier to accept community-driven brokenness than profit-driven misbehavior

@frehi Free and open source software, while nice, is not sufficient alone to stop backdoors in binaries see e.g. https://schneid.io/blog/event-stream-vulnerability-explained/

The bar is actually higher and includes https://reproducible-builds.org and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Binary_Transparency

Thing about being a digital plumber is that your name gets lost to history. So, yeah, Time Warner Cable won a technical emmy for essentially inventing this era of video streaming on the internet, particularly to mobile devices. But I know whose handwriting was on that hotel napkin, which hotel’s logo was on the napkin, and I know who was at that hotel bar table. I know whose names were on the commits and who sold the dream to our CEO. No patent carries our names because slicker employees wrote patents based on our work. No standard carries our names because we were already on to the next impossible problem.

We didn’t cure cancer. We didn’t smash the patriarchy. But we did change the world. When you watch Netflix or Amazon Video, when you hit a porn site, or when you watch a Twitch feed, we’re there in the bits watching back. We are the nameless, the forgotten, the digital plumbers.

Great to see many #ClimateChange sessions/discussions at #35c3. Happy to see a lot of hackers participating, trying to figure out ways to contribute and use technology for environmental activism.

#ExtinctionRebellion session @ #35c3 is FULL! One third of the people sitting on the floor 😂

Amazing to see a room full of hackers excited to join the cause. There's enthusiasm to help non-techy people switch to #signal, #mastodon & #nextcloud ⚡ 💻 🌐

If you are at #35c3 and want to start #self-hosting and discover #YunoHost, I'll be giving an hands-on workshop on Day 2 at 2 pm !

Also feel free to ping me if you want to talk about #YunoHost in general !

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

Hello fediverse! And guten tag to everyone at #35c3 :)

We're a newly opened #hacklab in #Greece, run by a #nonprofit #autonomous #collective as a #radical, #communityrun space in #Exarchia #Athens for people to learn, share, organise, and create together.

Some of us are currently at #35c3, DM if you want to chat!

The #35c3 just started and the streams are live!

If you want to download video/audio of talks, here's your yearly reminder that I wrote a little console tool called "sync3c" to automatically filter & sync talks from any #ccc event for you:
