Jack Dorsey keynoting at the plague confen... *Cough* sorry #FOSDEM seems par for the course.

We've wandered far away from FOSS it appears. Or perhaps we were the first victims of the grift.

Believing that those who claim to be FOSS are ethical and making a political choice.

I won't be there. But if you're going there anyway perhaps join Drew de Vault at the sit-in?

Think of it as an opening taster for #OFFDEM

In this week’s Torment Nexus, I looked at the recent changes at Meta and how Mark Zuckerberg used to pretend that he cared about hate speech or harassment on his platforms, but he clearly never did https://torment-nexus.mathewingram.com/mark-zuckerberg-can-finally-stop-pretending-that-he-cares/

Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.

Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.

Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

Remember when people were arrested from throwing soup on paintings to protest #ClimateChange? Yeah? Well I wonder if everyone who wanted them arrested is starting to do the math.

Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced on Tuesday that soon his company will no longer fact-check user posts on its platforms, essentially capitulating to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. What does this mean for truth—and even our democracy—moving forward? Jay Kuo digs into this question for The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/mark-zuckerberg-meta-factcheckers-billionaires
