Privacywashing: the marketing threat to software freedom https://tilde.town/~kzimmermann/updates/20210715_1043.html

A Silicon Valley VC-funded startup succeeds or fails based on how fast it can grow. At the start, it needs YOU to grow. It will put its best face forward and promise to be nice. Once it has grown enough and it no longer needs you (see: network effects), you have little to no power to affect its behaviour. That’s when you get screwed. Maybe not all at once (see: slowly-boiling frogs) but eventually, sure enough.

So exercise your power when you have it. At the start. By looking the other way.

🚀 Alright fedi gang, do your magic. Looking for a junior #Django dev in the UTC+05:00 to UTC+08:00 timezone.

The company is a small biz, and isn't a total dumpster fire as far as treating you goes. I was quite pleasantly surprised, in fact. Fully remote.

Project is ~2 months in and a standard Django thingy.

You'll work with me. Feel free to check my site to get a sense of who I am. Happy to help you throughout your onboarding and beyond. Ask me questions on my XMPP/Telegram.

If you need to join a #zoom call, but don't want to use their proprietary client, just use #webrtc in the browser!

Contributing to free software requires privilege. Even regular contributors might sometimes find themselves without it.

Time, focus and money. You might find yourself lacking in one of these at various points in your life.

While software projects from startups move like streams, most free software projects move like glaciers. They move slowly but they keep moving for decades.

Being away from a project doesn't mean you have to give it up. You can join back later.

#FreeSoftware #Privilege

Im thinking of picking up a totp physical key. Anyone got a recommendation? It must work with free software and preferably open hardware.

any other #synesthete artists out there?

I've been working on visual art lately and have been trying to draw and paint based on my #synesthesia . Here's sort of what a glitchy techno track might look like

#reintroductions

I joined #fediverse in 2018 and it was just one of plenty channels to use for Humane Tech Community to spread our msg of fighting tech harms and promoting solutions that improve Wellbeing, Freedom and Society.

But I fell in love with fedi and use it in mixed personal / community way. I spend a lot of time at #SocialHub advocating for #foss and fedi.

I see us as Spiral Island, building archipelago's and our #tech as playground for Humane technologists.
