"Hyperscalers [like #Facebook] have the same criteria of success as cancers. -- Why do you want to replicate #hyperscalers in Europe?"

Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share again this Friday, so artists will get their normal cut of any sales (music and merch) plus the fee that usually goes to Bandcamp. This is a good way to help your favorite musicians survive the pandemic - especially musicians of color, LGBTQ+ musicians, and disabled musicians!

Here are all the dates Bandcamp plans to do this in 2020:
August 7, 2020
September 4, 2020
October 2, 2020
November 6, 2020
December 4, 2020

Hat zufällig jemand aus dem Fediverse Interesse in unserer Social Media AG, bei der Betreuung dieses Accounts mitzuhelfen?

Wir versuchen dabei die Genderbalance wieder hin zu bekommen, weshalb wir nach nicht-männlichen Personen suchen. Die Erfahrung ist dabei nicht wichtig. Falls sich wer von euch es sich vorstellen kann oder ihr in eurer Ortsgruppe wen kennt, schreibt mir gerne hier. Danke! ❤️

Together with Frank Sonntag I have created a new Mastodon instance: FediScience, a friendly place where scientists can let their hair down.

There I will write about my work about the quality of climate data at a scientific level in English. https://fediscience.org/@VictorVenema

This will be/stay my private, sometimes German and local (#Bonn) account.

It's unacceptable if Members of the European Parliament have to use a service provided by an American company and agree to their Terms of Service in order to exercise the mandate. Representing citizens must not be conditioned upon using iCloud. https://www.kolaja.eu/en/post/20200617-remote_voting_in_the_european_parliament_why_using_ivote_is_a_strategic_mistake/

The German city of Bühl created "Palim! Palim!" as a #FreeSoftware #video #conferencing platform on top of #Jitsi. The feedback they received is encouraging:

"Many citizens express their personal thanks to us and we have stopped counting how many municipalities have approached us with great interest. I believe that Free Software is currently experiencing an incredible boost and that the sensitivity for data sovereignty is growing rapidly."

We develop CryptPad under an open-source license because we believe cryptography is a vital tool in addressing disparities in power. In case it wasn't already abundantly clear: we're on the side of the black, queer, trans, and other disproportionately policed and surveilled people that have faced prejudice for far too long.

If you're using CryptPad to organize and have any questions about how to use it as safely as possible please do contact us.

Who is online right now and can tell me an uplifting story?
I desperately need distraction from my dark thoughts.

Wer ist grad online und kann mir eine erfreuliche Geschichte erzählen? Ich brauch ganz dringend Ablenkung von meinen Gedanken.

Leute, gebt NIEMALS IRGENDWEM eure Account, dem ihr nicht zu 100% vertraut! Ihr gebt ebenso eure DMs weiter, ihr habt keine Garantie ihn zurückzubekommen, man kann API-Keys erstellen und später noch Unfug treiben und offenbart eure Mailadresse, Kontakte und Listen.

Unglaublich, dass man das extra erwähnen muss.
