You might know of hackathons as events where teams can build new and inventive features outside of their official roadmap.
This hackathon is different. We're hosting an event for #hackers, researchers, and bug hunters to test the security of Hush Line, our new free and open-source whistleblowing platform.
In 2024, World Press Freedom Day is dedicated to the importance of journalism and freedom of expression in the context of the current global environmental crisis.
📢 I have decided to make the core operation of Team Topologies non-profit. TT authors Manuel Pais and I are committed to the core mission : "...to make work more humane and more effective for everyone ..." and means I will not be able to profit personally from core TT activities. 💵🚫
More details over the coming weeks as changes happen...
I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same.
People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the open source, FEDERATED, project is going to got to shit.
I think people just like to complain. The good thing about the Fediverse is exactly that… federation. You’re NOT stuck on one instance or even one flavor of service to stay in touch with people.
If Mastodon does go to shit, guess what? Check out the other Fediverse projects. Hell, start a WordPress blog and connect it to the fediverse.
I get why people are nervous, but is it necessary? Maybe? I don’t see it though.
So as of today Mastodon now has a US 501(c)3 non-profit entity to go along with their German corporate entity that appears to be losing its non-profit status for reasons the don't know yet. #mastodon#fediverse#newsblog.joinmastodon.org/2024/04/…
From my experience with #German#incorporation, it's extremely rulebound. I don't sense any malice by the govt of #Germany, just overbearing bureaucracy
I like the fact #Europe has more rules in general than the #USA for #corporations. but there is a limit, and capricious bullsh** like taking away #Mastodon's #nonprofit status over, what I assume, is some tiny clerical error or minor rule discrepancy, is just embarrassing for Germany.
We'll be at the Town Square by City Hall today from 10-2 with a great mix of farmers, crafters, processors, and concessionaires — as well as WWU's Education for Inclusive Environments program.

Problem is that we're/they're bound by our #Nonprofit#PublicSector status to avoid discussing #capitalism as a problem or naming the political party responsible for this state of affairs @pluralistic, please advise...

New study: "Self-published societies have achieved sustained growth in their revenues from publishing while societies with publishing partners have seen a significant decline. For…societies with the means & the will to publish journals in their own right, this study provides compelling evidence for retaining, or even reclaiming, their independence." https://zenodo.org/records/10933141
