I worked all day but my job is non-capitalist and has snacks #MayDay

While I'm on the topic of #access, Hey event organizers, try to use times and locations that are doable on the bus. Also helps poor folk like me!

The point is that we don't actually care about software.

The point is the source.

I want the source for my software, my firmware, my hardware, and even my wetware honestly. Of course free source for software is important, but it seems like the source itself is the thing that matters -- not the software.

And for cultural works that don't have abstract mechanial "source": #FreeCulture

Please somebody shoot me down, but this seems like it could actually solve our current mass identity crisis.

My latest (and probably final) attempt that:

- disambiguates "free"
- avoids "open"
- standardizes on /FOSS?/
- is still pronounced /fɔs/
- complements "Free Culture"[0]

#FreeSource

0. Freedom to use the source and artifacts.
1. Freedom to study the source.
2: Freedom to share the source
3. Freedom to improve the source.

Instead of "free [and open source] software", it's "free [and open] source [software]".

Am I tripping, or is this legitimately not a bad idea?

Ah, wow. Going through old projects, found my old pre-fediverse "federated censorship-resistant Microstatus network", TinyStatus. 30 Lines of #Python, designed to be shareable by email, forum-posts, printouts, etcetera. Near-unreadable code (heavily #codegolf'd) But, was designed to be spam-resistant!

I'm not in the US, but #netneutrality there will have a negative impact on us all, so check out https://www.battleforthenet.com/redalert/ to see how you can raise awareness of an upcoming vote in the US Senate to restore the internet!

When I started the quixotic journey to create a taxonomy of all human knowledge the most common (and well meaning) questions people asked me were: Why? What’s the point (you know Wikipedia exists right)? And the more obvious: Are you bonkers?

But I started because a taxonomy of knowledge primarily designed as a teaching resource ceased to exist. So, yeah.

Fuck it. The world isn't going to burn down without me. This is our day. I'm taking it off.

@mattcropp Congrats! More importantly, congratulations on one of the most ethically & professionally run instances we all could hope for as a thriving, self-sustaining fediverse model for us all! 🎉

Our #SocialCoop #instance is one away from a thousand registered users... :) #platformcoop

Hey everyone, Moodle is looking for a Technical Architect to assist me on the MoodleNet project I'm leading.

https://moodle.workable.com/jobs/711777

I'd like to encourage applications from far and wide, so please consider applying.

Note that need to be within five hours of UK time - or be willing to shift your hours to accommodate.

Please boost, so that awesome, suitably-qualified people on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse see this opportunity! https://social.coop/media/HKVLGA-LEL_w9FTKxCg

I think it's excellent to commemorate significative events like the Haymarket Massacre on #MayDay. I also think workerism is a drag and we must learn to think beyond the industrial era that created the concept of the subordinate worker. The show must move on.
