Listen to the @projetslibres_podcast with Walid interviewing Lwenn Bussière, Technology Assessor at NLnet, about #NGI0 and NLnet.
Lwenn: "The Internet infrastructure that we know very well comes from free software and is based on an often invisible, often unpaid work of volunteers and enthusiasts. We fund people who actually build sustainable solutions for the Internet."
The podcast is in French with transcriptions in both French and English.
Mastodon becoming a US entity with a neoliberal board of directors and the goal of growth über alles is the issue here folks, not whether Eugen and company are compensated for their work. Of course they should be and well too. Or is that a privilege reserved only for the mediocre yes-people at the Googles and the Facebooks of the world?
If, on the other hand, maybe we’d like more folks to contribute to the commons and maybe not even be captured by Silicon Valley how about this radical idea: Fund them so they can live (at least as well) as any mediocre yes-person at a mainstream tech company.
Andrew "bunnie" Huang will give a webinar about his project IRIS (Infra-Red, In-Situ) inspection of silicon. A project to facilitate the non-destructive verification of silicon chips.
He'll give a short talk about the project but will leave most of the time for a Q&A as he is interested to hear what people think about IRIS.
Bunnie is an open hardware hacker, and an activist for digital rights.
Join us Thursday May 2, 11.00 CEST. https://nlnet.nl/events/20240502/index.html
