#RFC: Unionize Free Software.
Today #FOSS can be exploited by #BigTech. We need to united free software development and collectively provide a counter to big and exploitative tech, that takes free software as gratis labor and undermines it as soon as free software developers demand anything in return - even if it's just to release your own source code depending on #FOSS as #FOSS.
Thus I present to you: "Unionize Free Software".
#RFC: The maintain-website-tool is now available on #PyPI.
It can be installed and run on the commandline.
I'm looking for #ideas and #contributions for other tools to add to this package.

We are now using #karrot world to organize #DevCoop Hamburg.
If you are interested, just apply to the group. If you want to learn #programming, you are welcome too.
#RFC: I implemented a #PoC for my #MutatingSecrets scheme that I think can be used to
- mint new coins
- receive & transfer them as JSON Files
- run a timestamping authority.
I've already setup a test TSA and would like to ask if there's anyone willing to play with this code and review my idea and implementation.
I'm experimenting with a new #codingstyle: For every line of code there's a line blank following it.
Kind of looks like those Bills they bring before the US Congress.
Hallo @Bundespresseamt,
ich kann einen WIRKLICHEN Austausch bisher leider nicht erkennen, 🤔 außer automatischen #Crosspostings, die teilweise auf Facebook verweisen (siehe "fb" im Link vom zweiten Screenshot)
Un dato curioso que me está haciendo pensar. Esta mañana publiqué más o menos el mismo contenido en Twitter (450 seguidores) y en Mastodon (50 seguidores). En Twitter, cero interacciones. En Mastodon entre impulsos, favoritos y respuestas va ya por quince. Esto confirma una impresión que tengo desde mis primeros días en el #fediverso: hay menos gente, pero más activa.
On the organisation:
Each group has to appoint two ffices:
- Moderators (can be more than one) that admit new members for a trial and propose the removal of old members.
- Treasurers (can only be one) that receive payments on behalf of the group and have to pay the members in accordance with the group budget.
The group budget is a set of rules on how group income should be spent. Two rules should be supported:
- A monthly fee payed to every member.
- A fee based on the work a member does.
@csddumi
@fsfe had some guidance and a scheme to help with that last year. https://reuse.software/
#RFC: #FreeCoop should be a platform to organize small worker #coop
The platform should provide features to:
- Add new members
- Hold elections and votes
- Find tasks for the coop to complete.
- Decide on how members are payed.
- Remove members
I currently plan to only develop the #IRV scheme for votes - but if there is a desire for other voting schemes or more variability on the kind of groups FreeCoop should enable, I'd be happy to develop those too.
Legal Question:
Where and how many times do I have to mention the license/copyright header in source code files in a #FOSS project?
I never really got accustomed to doing that and the code I'm reading does not practice it consistently.
Ungefähr 90% der Apps im Google Play Store sind vergleichbar mit Spyware. Tut Google etwas? Nein. Aber bei der quelloffenen E-Mail-App #FairEmail packt Google plötzlich eine Spyware Policy aus. Kannst dir nicht ausdenken sowas... 🤦♂️
Gibt's ein Open Source Frontend für HVV / #ÖPNV Navigatoren?
“great for heavy web apps like Gmail!” how did we get to a place where an instantly recognizable example of crushingly computationally complex software is an EMAIL CLIENT
Oh also:
Login buttons, Fancy styling, Useless animations, Search bars and many other things.
It's ridiculous that websites are made this way, to intentionally sabotage the user and to not care about ethical design.
These "additions" introduce technical, ethical and accessibility problems and are not useful.
So design your site with accessibility and ethical tech in mind first!

@csddumi Not that we are aware of currently, so probably only disk space for the DB server :)
I'm just going to list the most important things I've done in software :
- #DemNet, a democratic social network
- #OrbitDB Contributions, a CRDT based distributed database.
- #Maintain-Website-Tool, a tool to maintain a website's links.
- #SocialCoding, a movement to make #FOSS sustainable, community driven and beneficial for all. All #FOSS should be embedded into a Community.
I use this account to ask for feedback on my ideas and projects using the #RFC hashtag.
