This sort of thing is precisely why decentralized platforms, such as @MastodonProject, are so important. An ecosystem of federated services is much more resilient to government manipulation than a single commercial company.

I've been thinking that working on marketing for libre projects would be awesome!

Is there anyone on the fediverse I could talk to about getting a leg into that industry?

And I'm not talking about just drawings and illustrations but graphics, photoediting and videos, and finally ideas / marketing strategies.

I think I could be a great asset to projects out there.

Please share!

Replugging this here for visibility:

Some projects i worked on in the last year, that you might find interesting:

Koios - a universal database-free file tagger
(https://gitlab.com/finnoleary/koios)

Zhmenu - a robust featureful dmenu-like replacement and input method
(https://gitlab.com/finnoleary/zhmenu)

Wisp - A fast, smart, lispy HTML output language
(https://gitlab.com/finnoleary/wisp-new)

SpotifyC (WIP) - C Interface to the Spotify Web API and Spotify command line client
(https://gitlab.com/finnoleary/spotifyc)

Boosts would be deeply appreciated as more users = less bugs.

This is the most disgusting ad I have ever seen on the web, it appears at everywhere with political clickbaits, and only link you to their site that sells you mortgage loans. I never clicked, but still disgusted to see.

...And apparently, this company was founded in 1999 and has been doing it for 10+ years, notorious enough to have a Wikipedia article, so they are literally one of the oldest clickbait spammer.

Didn't know that before, I'm too young to be online I guess.

If you are a developer of free Android software you might be interested in this job opportunity posted by the GNU Taler project: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/gnu-taler-looking-for-f-droid-hackers/8005

It's specifially targeting F-Droid :).

If you've ever wondered why people say tools like Scribus aren't ready for professional production work let me share this blog post by @davidrevoy

https://www.davidrevoy.com/article747/the-english-book-printed-project-production-report-2

This should be a slam dunk. David knows what he's doing and One Bookshelf provides instructions that clearly show how to produce a PDF to their specifications.

We need to do better, folks. Color Profiles that work for everyone except FOSS tools are unacceptable. Period. There are no excuses for this.

New Linux Vulnerability Lets Attackers Hijack VPN Connections

"tracked as CVE-2019-14899 to distros and the Linux kernel security team, as well as to others impacted such as Systemd, Google, Apple, OpenVPN, and WireGuard."

"Mitigation [...] can be potentially achieved by turning reverse path filtering on, by using bogon filtering —filtering bogus (fake) IP addresses — or with the help of encrypted packet size and timing."

They're still testing Tor.

A nice little article about my experiences with developing adventure games.

@aral made such an important speech at the EU commission, packing a lot of stuff.

I cannot stop laughing at this reference, though. 🤣

And as long as the focus of the EU is markets and business, we’re not going to get there. As long as the goal is “Digital Single Market” we have a problem.
