wir müssen noch nachholen, zwei neue Accounts auf unserer Instanz zu begrüßen: Zum einen ist der Sachverständigenrat für Integration und Migration @SVR_Migration nun hier. Zum anderen das Innovationsnetz KI @CivicCoding .
The US government has or runs their own Dot Gov web sites, might as well start running their own social media as well. If only there was some sorta free open source software available? #FOSS it up!
It seems like it is a rewrite/alternative server to the mastodon server. Looks to be written in Rust. It is a fork of #misskey, which seems to be written in typsescript
But since it uses ActvityPub, it's interoperable with Mastodon
Seems like you can't migrate your Mastodon account over.
So basically an alternative microblogging interface to the fediverse with different server software.
I guess I wouldn't just do RSS because, in my soon to be patented and HUGE MONEY MAKING PLATFORM, I would want users of my servers to respond to posts. I am also going to autotag all outgoing posts with #GIS after the user hits Publish.
Not that I would really do any of this, but it is all possible for any fediverse server I create.
Could I also close source my server and be the only place to join GISkey? just thinking it through - #FOSS or DIE BABY!
Dang. One of my clients rescheduled a project by a few weeks which means I suddenly have some availability until the end of May.
If you happen to be in need of a freelance UX designer / design engineer to support your web project or would fancy a design engineering or prototyping workshop for your team, feel free to message me! 🤗
“One of big things I’ve come to believe in my couple of decades working on internet stuff is that great product design is always holistic: Always working in relation to a whole system of interconnected parts, never concerned only with atomic decisions. And this perspective just straight-up cannot emerge from a piecemeal, GitHub-issues approach to fixing problems. This is the main reason it’s vanishingly rare to see good product design in open source.” https://erinkissane.com/blue-skies-over-mastodon

I agree, the piecemeal aspect of open source is the core challenge. For the talks I gave on #UX and #FOSS, I interviewed several maintainers and by far the biggest indicator of good UX work was if the project was funded, so it could afford a full time designer on staff.
There are no clear success stories I know of strong ux being done ad hoc
Aufruf: Mit welchen Alternativen kann die Abkehr von Microsoft im Bildungswesen gelingen? Ich möchte weitere Erfahrungsberichte [1] aus der Praxis sammeln. Sendet [2] mir dazu bitte sachliche Meinungen, Ideen und Erkenntnisse. 🙏
@kuketzblog An meinem alten Gymnasium haben wir zu meiner Zeit (vor Corona) auf #FOSS Systeme gesetzt, d. h. im Computerraum gabs Linux (Ubuntu) Rechner mit Firefox, LibreOffice (und früher OpenOffice) & friends. Hat echt super funktioniert! Leider hat sich nach meinem Abitur der Elternbeirat durchgesetzt und nun läuft alles mit Microsoft. Ich mache im Rahmen meiner Bachelorarbeit eine Studie zu Robotik an meiner alten Schule, daher bin ich darüber relativ gut informiert.
Good Morning, People! #today I have two online meetings: First is #LGBTQIA drop-in on Zoom. Second is Natick #FOSS users' meetup on Jitsimeet. What other human interactions will happen? I am expecting some Mastodon chat. Anything else would be a pleasant surprise.
Will arbitrary devs fall for the argument they better use a patchwork of #FreeSoftware tools rather than one-stop-shop integrated development experience?
If enforced, EU chat control will limit Free Software https://fsfe.org/news/2022/news-20221026-02.en.html
Surely you have already heard about the controversial EU draft law on mandatory chat control with the supposed aim to effectively tackle child sexual abuse. This law implies the monitoring and scanning of the communications of citizens – even the securely encrypted end-to-end one. #chatcontrol#encryption#foss
Intersting discussion about default permissions for editors in Backdrop CMS issue queue. Should editors have permission to delete any content by default?
It would be great to get more opinions on this issue. You don't need to be a developer to weigh in on this issue.
