    @josh what an individual gets can be taken away easily.

    What we collectively conquer is much harder to take back 💪

    "We launched a product and we don't care about what works and what doesn't."

    Sounds unacceptable to you? To me too. But that doesn't mean I want to creep on you to figure it out.

    Here's what to expect on @matrix's website

    Hot take: when organising an event, vegan catering is the most inclusive option.

    If you take DEI seriously, there should at the very least be vegan options.

    Next week, catch up with a good chunk of the STF team in Brussels:

    Drop us a line if you'd like to meet and chat about open digital infrastructure, technology, and public interest funding!

    Yes! The @matrix gang will be at FOSDEM and I'd love to have a chat with you folks!

    "Governance" might sound like the least exciting thing about an OSS project, but it's what makes the difference between a project that scales and a project that fails.

    Everyone has a right to privacy, not just tech enthusiasts. So what does it take to design solutions to escape surveillance capitalism, at scale?

    Sci-fi fans of the Federation, do you have good short quotes about a team bonding together, in the context of a space opera?

    All I have is "apes together strong" from the Planet of the Apes, but it's very meh.

    Currently emailing the DPO of Netflix to get a better understanding of whether or not they're sharing personal data with third party advertisers even when the customer is on a non-ad-supported plan, for a blog post.

    Doctor: Thib you need to rest for two days. No work. No. Work.

    Me: Oooh look, @openproject sounds like an elegant solution to manage our projects over at the Foundation. And it has a shiny @nextcloud integration!

    It’s been a tough year, and the end of it is already pretty packed in terms of blog posts on @matrix

    If you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, I put together my notes on the CRM we chose to manage our membership and published it on my blog. Surprise: the one we picked wasn’t in the list of solutions we had evaluated 🤯

    Fedifriends, if someone told you that paying for a service means your data is safe and won’t be sold to third parties, would you have evidences to prove them wrong?

    Hej folks, a heads-up that the @matrix CfP for the Matrix Foundation and Community devroom at FOSDEM has been extended until Friday!

    I’m looking forward to see you all in Brussels in February 🚀

    My reaction when I open a product that shouldn't have AI and probably doesn't actually have AI, but shoves a "Unlock your full potential with {{ feature_name }} AI" pop up to my face as soon as I open the software.

    Calm down product managers, the overwhelming majority of products are better without AI, and being a liar surfing on fads doesn't make you sound smart.

    The amount of invisible work that goes into something as seemingly trivial as a roadmap is unreal.

    You need to have a solid mission statement and understanding of your ecosystem’s needs, translate that into programs and projects, do a budget and prioritise, know your audiences and what resonates with them, share concisely what you’re going to do, why it matters, and how your audiences can contribute to making it happen.

    That’s A LOT of work, but it’s well worth it.

    The best way to make me not consider a product is to force me to give my email or phone number to a sales department.

    Before subscribing services I do a comparison of what’s on the market, and the last thing I want is a dozen of sales persons chasing me.

    What I want is to:

    • see a list of features
    • try the product and be left alone if I’m not asking for help
    • see the pricing model transparently

    What have I become?

    @nekohayo I plan to do a write up of what we needed and how we picked a solution :)

    No spooky cookie from @matrix for Halloween!

    I just added a placeholder that asks for consent before loading the YouTube player, if you want to avoid them

    (and if you have a PeerTube channel mirroring matrixdotorg on YouTube I'm happy to give it some visibility too, but I don't have the time to set-up an instance properly and configure the channel mirroring)

    I started putting together a list of games to learn useful skills to build and maintain tech services.

    If you are aware of other nice games that can help learning and testing interesting skills, let me know and I'll add them to the list!

    In the past months I started developing back and neck pain from staying at my desk on a computer all day.

    I recently bought a JÄRVFJÄLLET from Ikea, and it's been a life changer. My back and neck pain almost disappeared overnight!

    I can't recommend enough getting a good chair. If you can afford it, do yourself a favour and get a nice chair that respects your body.
