Hey Mastodons, I hear you like open source and federation, so I'd like to tell you about https://gettogether.community/ an open source, federated(*) event planning service similar to Meetup

It's free to use, and while it's still very early development it is live! Try it yourself, share it with your friends, start a team ahd have a Get Together! #gettogether

* Federation is simple and minimal, any help would be most welcomed. Source code is at https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether https://mastodon.cloud/media/cPwAJ8QWw5m9yjpJqQk

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."

C’est à Henri Sellier, homme politique de gauche, humaniste et pacifiste, que l’on doit, au début du XXe siècle, l’introduction en France des cités-jardins https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/cartes/utopie-cites-jardins https://t.co/tEIwtmw7ec

Clowns take their makeup seriously - it's bad form to use someone else's makeup and hairstyle. So Matthew Faint runs the Clown Egg Register, a gallery of clown faces painted onto eggshells that serves as a sort of "copyright register" for clowns. https://www.ft.com/content/56cac980-e8f9-11e2-aead-00144feabdc0
