We have @minds @mayel from #socialcoop and Claire Tolan at #OpenCoop ! Q: how can these and other platforms interoperate between each other?

Here's our own @mayel presenting on #Socialcoop at #OpenCoop!

Really excited to learn about the French #opensource #platformcoop project @CoopCycle at #opencoop.

Mozilla plans to cut RSS feed reader and Live Bookmarks support from Firefox. I can't blame them. It's complex ("outsized maintenance and security impact"). It's the wrong UI ("not supporting any states like read"). I feel we're better served by external tools. https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/25/mozilla-plans-to-remove-rss-feed-reader-and-live-bookmarks-support-from-firefox/

And that's why Mozilla can say "RSS/Atom has been in decline and support has been dropped by companies such as Google (Google Reader), or Apple (Apple Mail), or changed focus." And that's why I think we need to keep RSS/Atom despite big companies dropping support because RSS and Atom work precisely for the slow web, the small sites, for average Internet people, for us.

Is there an Open Source alternative to Captcha? Because there should be. Because Captcha makes me think I might be a robot sometimes.

It's amazing that proprietary social networks have managed to create systems that elicit the most engagement out of negative emotions. Looking at Facebook/YouTube/reddit comments is like watching a perpetual shouting match

Hi folks! My employer, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, looking for an Associate Site Reliability Engineer, which is a fancy-ish way to say "keep websites running and automate all the things" :)

- Open to remote work in American time zones

Great role if you're looking to start a career in infrastructure work with mission focus. Questions? DM! :)

Hi everyone! I'm @jamescurryiv, I'm an artist & organizer from Portland, Oregon! I make music as James Curry IV, and sometimes do other kinds of art as well. I don't code, but I've long been curious about co-operative platforms and I'm excited to participate in one!
