The question I have is, how would/should a federated and free software Keybase alternative work? Is there already any work on that?

Experimental Latex live preview in the @cryptpad Code pad ! Would that be nice ? #cryptpad #latex #research

Techie friends: if you haven’t started using Mosh (vs SSH) yet, you should. The short version is that it’s SSH over UDP, so it’s connectionless and you don’t get disconnected whenever your IP changes (like you walk into work and your phone jumps from LTE to Wi-Fi) or your laptop goes to sleep. It also has much better interactive latency, especially on slow mobile networks. “The user pressed ‘A’ and isn’t in Vim’s command mode. I’ll display a proposed ‘A’ then unless the server tells me not to.”

If you were impacted by the #matrix outage please consider standing up a Synapse instance and help decentralize. I've been running one for a couple of weeks and it is stable, low-maintenance software so far.

What if: an open-source clone of The Sims. Open-ended domestic humanoid simulation game. Differentiate from the commercial offering by moving the design in a different direction, deemphasizing built-in goals in favor of stronger end-user programmability. A platform for experimenting with a more humanistic programming model.

this is often attributed to Le Guin but it's a quote from the character Shevek from the anarchist world Annares, speaking to the suppressed anarchists and revolutionaries of the authoritarian world Urras:

> You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

> The duty of the individual is to accept no rule, to be the initiator of his own acts, to be responsible. Only if he does so will the society live, and change, and adapt, and survive. We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. [...] ‘The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin.’

> That the social conscience completely dominates the individual conscience, instead of striking a balance with it. We don’t cooperate—we obey. We fear being outcast, being called lazy, dysfunctional, egoizing. We fear our neighbor’s opinion more than we respect our own freedom of choice. You don’t believe me, Tak, but try, just try stepping over the line, just in imagination, and see how you feel. [...] We have created crime, just as the propertarians did.

We're on Mastodon! A big thanks to Fosstodon for the help! We'll be posting updates and news about LibreOffice, along with tips and tricks for using the software.

It's bad news, I'm afraid :blobcry:

"Dark day for internet freedom: The @Europarl_EN has rubber-stamped copyright reform including #Article13 and #Article11. MEPs refused to even consider amendments. The results of the final vote: 348 in favor, 274 against"

Gitlab also makes you solve Google's captcha if you edited snippet couple of times.
Ugh.
One of the first things to purge Google from the internet is to replace reCaptcha.
