SeaGL is happening again this November. And everyone has a chance to contribute by nominating their favorite speaker to be a keynoter.

The FLOSS movement has failed to build a true counter power to Big Tech's hegemony.
However, I see this potential for tech autonomy with community tech.
It builds on the nonprofit, community centered aspects of free and open source software, while addressing its shortcomings.
Boosts and opinions on what I've outlined in my blog post very welcomed.

What's a good replacement OS for a Kindle in 2025?
I see references to Quill/InkBox but it appears to be a dead project.
Pointers?

inria.hal.scienceCODE beyond FAIRFAIR principles are a set of guidelines aiming at simplifying the distribution of scientific data to enhance reuse and reproducibility. This article focuses on research software, which significantly differs from data through its living nature, and its relationship with free and open-source software. Based on the second French plan for Open Science, we provide a tiered roadmap to improve the state of research software, which is inclusive to all stakeholders in the research software ecosystem: scientific staff, but also institutions, funders, libraries and publishers.
I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.
Ämter ohne Microsoft – Warum Behörden freie Software nutzen sollten.
Eine EU-Studie beziffert das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis von Open
Source Software auf 1:4.
Jeder Euro, den der Staat investiert, kommt vierfach wieder zurück. Würden mehr Institutionen Geld in Open Source stecken, statt an Microsoft zu überweisen, könnte das ein großes Konjunkturprogramm für die
europäische Digitalwirtschaft sein.

Today, the United Nations announced the "UN Open Source Principles" – 8 practical ways for groups around the world to promote global digital cooperation through free and open source software.
Like software freedom itself, these principles are for everyone, everywhere - and the orgs you support can join a list of endorsers today.

#chatgpt is a data hungry stealing beast. You opt in to share everything you feed it. All prompts, all files you use are donated to OpenAI. Why not use an open source tool like #gpt4all and run the #AI locally. #foss #floss #education

@arclight I mean, I'd love to see someone pay me to maintain @OS1337 full-time (or any other of my #FLOSS / #FLOSH projects), but until then I'll sadly have to do whatever #WageWork keeps me and mutuals afloat.
- After all, being a "good person" doesn't make rent or pay utilities. Otherwise I'd still be a volunteer firefighter at the local platoon...

Päivän #FLOSS-vinkki voisi olla #GNU #Datamash. Hauska pikku ohjelma, jolla saa nopeasti irti taulukkomuotoisesta datasta tilastollisia tunnuslukuja. Esimerkiksi tiedostosta, jossa on pelkästään rivivaihdoin erotettuja lukuja (= yksi tietosarake), saa minimin, maksimin, summan ja keskiarvon komennolla:
datamash min 1 max 1 sum 1 mean 1 < tiedosto
(missä 1 = sarakkeen numero). #atkjuttuja
