Friends, please stop linking to Spotify like it’s ok.

The company steadily siphoned money from independent artists, then spent millions to host Joe Rogan, then littered their library with AI music, and now the CEO is investing in AI weapons.

There are plenty of less damaging ways to listen to music and podcasts.

Oh. So, Stripe - the online payment company, owned by the Collison brothers - is refusing to process payments for any LGBTQ+ content, apparently.

‼️🚨KICKED OUT OF FEDCON MILITARY RECRUITMENT CONFERENCE (aka @defcon @thedarktangent)🚨‼️ - for daring to raise our voice against war criminals and the rise of AI tech fascism.

20 years ago when I spoke at the DEFCON hacker conference it was "spot the fed". After years in prison for hacking charges related to Anonymous, I was excited to finally return - only to find it thoroughly run by feds and deeply enmeshed with the military industrial complex we fight against.

A disgusting display, the first hour's fascist fireside chat with DEFCON's Dark Tangent and General Paul Nakasone - a four star general and director of NSA and US CYBERCOMMAND until just last year. With DT saying "Go Army!" shamelessly recruiting for the military and praising AI imperialism as US bombs fall on Gaza - we had to take a stand. As they smugly took their final jello shots with so much blood on their hands, we shouted "War criminal!" "Free Palestine!" "This isn't a hacker conference - it's a military recruitment drive!"

For daring to speak out, we were aggressively kicked out by Las Vegas Convention Center security guards - who put hands on us, calling us homophobic slurs. No goons or anyone from DEFCON offered any discussion or due process. Shameful how Fedcon treats real hackers and freedom of speech. Hackers, take a stand against the military co-optation of our communities and the hacker ethic!

📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE

Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.

What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.

The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!

Yet they need HELP.

@jwildeboer @mauve

I posted a call today for devs to give #forgefed due attention. There is a bit of a tragedy in that the @forgefed team is working on the specs, everyone very excited about the prospect of full forge federation, yet no one is implementing forgefed nor providing good input and feedback to mature the specs. The forgefed folks still have some @nlnet funding via #NGI0 but if that runs out it is unsure whether they can support implementers when time comes.

Dear GitHub users. Forgejo exists (and is the software behind Codeberg). Radicle exists. Sourcehut exists. You’re welcome to join! And with forgefed we also have a federated approach. We were building all of that while you were sleeping ;) Maybe you are now ready to help us build a better, more decentralised code sharing future?

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

@glyph Here's the thing! Red means the two nodes don't have accurate information about each other and green means they do. Random nodes connect every 2 seconds to sync and gossip sync state with each other. Then a random node updates every 4 seconds.
