I come back to this piece I wrote on @opensourceway about criticism in open projects quite often: https://opensource.com/open-organization/17/8/what-to-do-when-nobody-participates

@grainloom THANK YOU, that's very helpful. I hadn't paid attention to those prefs :D

Actually, anyone who has tips for changing Mastodon instances - I'm all ears :) https://mastodon.social/@epilepticrabbit/

Ohhh I got a @WeAreOpenCoop newsletter yesterday! Read it and sign up for future updates: https://mailchi.mp/weareopen/insert-clever-title

Listening to the history of the @LEGO_Group brand. Big love :) Just putting this here, since I'll be talking @greenpeace soon! How LEGO got awesome to #savethearctic https://t.co/hlHnFtTq7E #Dialogkonferansen

Later today: I will ramble about stuff I believe in as a keynote at #dialogkonferansen in Sweden. Talking #coops #FOSS #ecology, @WeAreOpenCoop @greenpeace and @opensourceway. I might accidentally say the word "#anti-capitalism" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When people brag about their number of followers in their bios, I vomit in my mouth a bit.

We failed at our first newsletter b/c we tried to use Medium letters and…well, nvm. Keep up to date with our co-op and sign up for @WeAreOpenCoop email list here: http://eepurl.com/dEVJNP

Fun fact "epilepticrabbit" was a screen name a younger me used in the late 90s. Via @mrkrndvs https://collect.readwriterespond.com/mrkrndvs/

If you wait long enough, you won’t have to change your password because either the company shut down or they upgraded and you got lost in the migration. #privacy #security

@simps Apply anyway. If you're the right person for the job, we may be able to work with the France office. No promises of course!

Bunch of people are like "You probably can't find a dev because you dopn't pay enough." 2 things, #1: YOU is not ME, it's Greenpeace #2: I spent my career making decisions not based on money or power, but based on ideals and ethics. And I’m successful because of that, not in spite of it.

I do all my own slides, and it takes time, every time, even for repeat talks :/

Listening to a panel on technology and climate change. One lady, seven dudes. And without taking that sad fact into account, when has an 8 person panel ever been a good idea?

@Gargron Money rules the world. Money is power. Capitalism has clear favourites. The risk is not just to the individual, manipulation of finances can tilt entire economic systems. See 2008. See recent elections and the role of financing. The will of the people can move mountains, if that will is heard. Enabling through technology isn't the magic bullet, but I don't believe it is inherently any more risky than the way analog systems work.

@Gargron
Yeah, and this argument can be made about all kinds of things. Paper money under the mattress versus a bank account for example. I'm thinking that given the move towards digitally equipped societies, our accessibility to civic participation seems just as important as our ability to [insert other life admin examples]. FWIW I'm interested in this discussion, not trying to sway or troll. I understand both perspectives, and don't need to be convinced either way.
