To everyone working in a #foss or #opensource foundation. Your ideology flamd advocacy for Libre/Free/OpenSource is great. It is also totally separated from the problems and advocacy maintainers needs.
In the same way that the local band that play music in your local pub as hobbyists have very specific needs and doesn't care that much about piracy. They just need to be able to play.
As maintainers, we do not need subsidies to compete with commercial software, help to become commercial. And we don't care a lot about making everything FOSS. We care about being able to do the job society needs us to do.
Think about that a bit.

“I really like the Small Web. Thanks for NOT supporting it.”
https://ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-application-for-domain-rejected/
(We tried one more time after that, got rejected again, and then stopped wasting time with @nlnet and @NGIZero. The Small Web will launch this year with ZERO EU funding in its six years of development from NGI/NLNet. If you want to support us before it does, please see https://small-tech.org/fund-us. After we launch, we aim for it to be self sustaining. So NGI/NLNet have been and are irrelevant as far as the Small Web is concerned.)

🖤 calling unix weirdos
I wrote a manifesto about
Gopher, techno-romance, and why small systems beat scale
(“Intimacy in the Forgotten Stack”).
Before I throw it at Hacker News, I want eyes from people who actually love MUDs, telnet, suckless, smallnet, and human-scale software.
Reply or DM if you want the private draft. 🖥️✨

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

Even if you just send feedback saying "I really like (funded project) thanks for supporting it", that is the kind of thing that really makes a difference!
The commission struggles to measure the value of Open Source funding, so we have to speak up so they know it makes sense!

what real usable alternatives to #facebook do exist?
i want to move our villagers away from fb as the official channel, but i need to give them a userfriendly #foss alternative. best even hosted in #finland #Suomi by real humans.
now is the best moment to explain how we can support democracy and freedom of speech.

I think #canada 🇨🇦 should take a step back from Big Tech like #microsoft #amazon #google #facebook etc
All american corporations that are no longer working in our favor.
As a canadian, I believe we should start working toward digital sovereignty.
Having our own AI, tech, operating systems, etc.
The free and open souce #foss community is a great place to start.
