@tonyandrewmeyer yes, it's by no means perfect. It's just better than the other options either in terms of what it's trying to do (which is far more ambitious than the others) or how it does it (fully #libre, not ransomware, no surveillance capitalism, etc.). Also, many implementations are not fully functional because it's a complex beast (I'm working on bringing the ones I run up to the state-of-the-art). But yeah, in no way is MS Teams preferable.

De la nuit au matin : Louis Sullivan et la promesse émancipatrice de la démocratie

Après la longue nuit de la répression, Louis #Sullivan (1902) imagine l’aube d’une ère nouvelle où la tradition cède la place à la #création, où la #répression s’efface devant la #liberté, et où l’#humanitarisme surpasse l’#égoïsme. L’individu, animé par une #force profonde de la #nature, devient enfin #libre de penser, de sentir et d’agir — ouvrant la voie à une #évolution démocratique…

La sociedad tiene un libro de instrucciones para convencernos de lo que espera de nosotros. Cómo espera que seamos. Lo que espera que nos guste. ¿Cómo se explica si no la pasión por el fútbol? Hay decenas de deportes y resulta que en España triunfa el fútbol y en la India el cricket. Obviamente a nadie le gusta un deporte concreto al nacer, sino que aprende a que le guste a base de verlo como parte cotidiana de la sociedad.

Podríamos pensar que lo de ser #heterosexual sería igual, algo aprendido, pero algunos hemos crecido con relaciones heterosexuales en todos sitios, y recibido violencia física y verbal para obligarnos a ser heterosexuales. Y aun así no hemos conseguido serlo por mucho que en su momento quisiéramos. Así que la única conclusión posible es que no se puede cambiar lo que uno es.

Así pasas una primera y dolorosa fase de negación y de intentar ser otra persona, a mí me duró hasta los 18. Luego viene la segunda fase. La de darte cuenta que no sabes qué hacer. Estás perdido porque no tienes referentes, porque en el libro de instrucciones de la sociedad pone claramente que este libro no es para ti. Esta etapa duele menos pero es complicada. Has perdido toda tu adolescencia renegando de ti mismo, viviendo una mentira, y ahora que quieres ser tú mismo, no sabes quién eres. Y vas haciendo tu camino solo, a tientas. Un camino difícil porque la sociedad sigue recordándote a diario que eres un outsider.

Pero, tras haber recorrido un trecho de ese camino difícil, te das cuenta de que desde que decidiste ser tú y serlo con #orgullo, sin pedir #permiso ni #perdón lo que has conseguido es ser #libre.

Sed libres, cariños. Los heteros también. Las expectativas sociales que nos limiten deberían desaparecer.

Feliz día internacional del #OrgulloLGBTI

Continued thread

"A key Principle is 'De-proprietarization and interoperability: Promoting integration cross an open-source, federated tech stack, while reducing dependence on proprietary solutions from major tech corporations.'"

We need a KiwiStack, too. Luckily, given that EuroStack is #libre, we can collaborate rather than re-inventing the wheel!

2/n

Very interesting results of #AAAS survey on researcher positions on #OpenLicenses. Note that I'm over 70.
aaas.org/news/interests-concer

<blockquote>
* 42% of respondents — when asked what they prefer to do with #CCBY licensed content where they use it themselves— mentioned actions that don’t necessarily require this license, like reading work, or sharing it in the classroom.
* 29% of respondents say there should be no limitations on the #reuse of peer-reviewed research at all, with those older than 70 years of age feeling most strongly.
* 28% of respondents were concerned about reuses of work with a CC-BY license, largely related to possible misrepresentations of their work. Some cited concerns about misuse of their data for political gain.
* In general, younger researchers were slightly more concerned than their older counterparts about potential downstream misuses of their work.
* With respect to commercial reuses of published work, about 36% indicated that there are cases that excite them, while roughly 63% indicated that there are cases that worry them. The latter group’s concerns relate to the possibility of misrepresentation by media and other groups or individuals; use by unsanctioned entities seeking to make a profit; and training of #AI models without proper attribution.

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.

Includes an exclusive interview with Jerry.
