Do you like data? Do you like standards? Do you like public good? Do you like co-operating and flat org structures and a good work life balance and not just chasing $$? Open Data Services Co-op are hiring: non-dev techie data standards roles. Fully remote. Check it out. https://opendataservices.coop/jobs/ #coop #cooplife

@mayel yeah that was the whole point, alas

#Cooplife is having my worker rights outrage-o-meter cranked up to Extremely Sensitive at all times, forgetting that opendataservices.coop policies are not universal or even close to normal anywhere in the world, and wanting to burn it all down every time I hear even the faintest hint of a company trying to take advantage of an employee. And the employee doesn't really think they're being take advantage of and is trying to tiptoe around the situation so the abuse dosen't get worse. https://rhiaro.co.uk/2019/06/cooplife

I work with a really cool co-operative on open data for public good type stuff. We are hiring developers! AMA http://opendataservices.coop/jobs/2019-02-developers-developers-developers.html

Fully remote, with frequent f2f contact if desired. Super supportive team. No hierarchy & we're all paid the same. Strong ethics, much focus on wellbeing, work environment, personal development. I think I got pretty damn lucky with this job, maybe you can too?

Today's adventures in Petra (Lesvos, Greece) include finding a cafe full of middle-to-retired-aged English people, who clearly live here, complaining about immigrants taking jobs. I kid you not.

It's also very smoky, but Sarajevo hardened my lungs. #travel https://rhiaro.co.uk/2018/12/today

@paulfree14 Good question. I want to try everything to push for a decentralised social web. Some people are picky about the tech behind the federation. I'm also super interested in bridging between the various approaches. See also https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols

Hey people with ties to Poland, I'd like to rent a room or a flat for approx the month of May (totally flexible dates). Anywhere really, but starting to think Gdansk/Sopot/Gdynia would be pretty nice.

Any leads and retoots appreciated :)

(it would be amazing to find a place on here instead of a f***b**k group)

BY THE WAY anonymous internet strangers, if you are upset and confused about #decentralized social networks but (and this part is important) don't want to be confused any more, do come on over to #social channel on irc.w3.org where we're all still hanging out and willing to help.

This stuff *is* complicated and distressing... trust us... and we (the Working Group and proximate communities) went through a lot of shiz so hopefully you don't have to.

#ActivityPub is a W3C Recommendatiiiiooooonnnnnn

https://rhiaro.co.uk/2018/01/activitypub

Is your institution a W3C member? Do you like decentralised social networks? You probably do since you're reading this on Mastodon. Ask your AC rep to vote on ActivityPub today! (or, before the 16th of Jan). If your instance is up to date, you're probably using this standard right now. It would be a shame if it didn't become an official W3C Recommendation.

#34c3 #mastodon

ohhhhh I want to go to the #34c3 mastodon meetup but it's at the same time as @rysiek 's teahouse talk. Cruel world.

The first really good talk I've seen at #34c3 was BGP and the Rule of Custom (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2017/Fahrplan/events/9072.html) by @cjd
Good thoughts about the interplay between network structure/hardware and the social surroundings.

And a pretty solid Mastodon plug at the end :)

I published Social Web Protocols as a Social Web Working Group Note today.

https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols

It's supposed to be a one-stop shop for understanding the various specs of the WG. Hopefully it makes your life easier not harder.

Anyone know what to do in Leipzig on the 25th of December?
Everything seems likely to be closed.
Suggestions for places to find vegan food and be warm and plug in a laptop welcome.
Proximity of other humans optional.

@trustroots @paulfree14 uhhhh somehow `rhiaro` is taken which has never happened before, and now I don't know how to call myself :s Existential crisis alert
