Which browser is consuming much more power than competitive ones? @3rik presenting interesting numbers and thoughts on #digital #sustainability in connection with #FreeSoftware at the @fsfe GA.
So, what's your guess?

Account migration "easier than ever, and with 3.0 comes the ability to bring your followers with you like magic!" Thanks a lot! I think that's one of the most important feature for a decentralized network! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/10/mastodon-3.0/ #Mastodon
Arrived at the #Linuxhotel for a whole weekend full of #FreeSoftware with my friends from #FSFE
"Adobe is cutting off users in Venezuela due to US sanctions" Another example how dangerous it is to rely on proprietary and rented software. This can't happen to you if you build your business on top of #FreeSoftware which is the only software you really own. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/7/20904030/adobe-venezuela-photoshop-behance-us-sanctions

I don't believe decentralization will succeed without large services. Most people can barely keep their mobile phone operating, let alone figure out which of the thousands of instances they should join or run their own. Large instances, of any software, are required to fill the need of those (clueless) people who just want to sign up and talk with people.
It's up to us software people to ensure the protocols are up to federating seamlessly not only thousands of small instances, but also large instances. I believe decentralization is a technical task, not something that we should push to the people.
I'm trying not to sound too judgemental, but IMHO when I see someone run an instance, make it popular and then shut it down - what I see is the failure of the federated web and I see thousands of accounts being closed and never opened again on another server because those people are annoyed of losing their "home" and just go to Twitter or Facebook which is guaranteed not to pull the carpet from under their feet.
I get the services of Frama grew too big, but that thought isn't going to be much consolation to the thousands of users who are potentially losing their social accounts. I hope they will consider giving the instances a new home instead of shutting them down - that would be a responsible thing to do imho.
Ein schöner Bericht unserer lokalen #FSFE Gruppe in Berlin zum Software Freedom Day http://blogs.fsfe.org/tobiasd/2019/09/30/software-freedom-day-2019-in-berlin/ Danke @Tobias !
"Der BDI-Präsident meinte dagegen, im Rahmen einer informationellen Selbstbestimmung sollten die Bürger selbst entscheiden können, welche Daten erhoben und verwendet werden" klingt gut, funktioniert aber nicht da der Anwender oft keine andere Möglichkeit hat als die Bedingungen zu akzeptieren. Ohne klaren Regeln die Unternehmen einhalten müssen wird das nichts. So funktioniert das in allen anderen Bereichen auch, Stichwort soziale Standards, Umweltstandards, usw. https://app.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/digitalcharta-cdu-will-den-datenschutz-aufweichen-fuer-schnellere-digitalisierung/25066904.html

Today, the @fsfe@twitter.com's and @OpenForumEurope@twitter.com's Policy Meeting connects #FreeSoftware communities with EU policy makers. Exciting discussions about how we can strengthen software freedom, digital sovereignty, and a better collaboration in Europe together
Die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft gefährdet die digitale Souveränität des Staates und steht im Widerspruch zu den strategischen Zielen der IT des Bundes, so eine vom Bundesinnenministerium in Auftrag gegebenen Studie. Und was machen wir jetzt mit dieser Erkenntnis liebe Politiker*innen? https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Marktanalyse-Microsoft-Abhaengigkeit-fuehrt-zu-Schmerzpunkten-beim-Bund-4533951.html #Demokratie #Politik #IT #Microsoft #Nachhaltigkeit

I just learned that all #Xiaomi #LineageOS builds are down due to a #DMCA Takedown. After #Gadgetbridge this is the second time I'm affected as a user. This is ridiculous https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2019/08/2019-08-09-SenseTime-5.md

Münchens Ex-OB Christian Ude der #München mit #FreieSoftware zu mehr Unabhängigkeit und höherer Datensicherheit verholfen hat sagt zur Rückabwicklung von #LiMux: "Aber ich denke, dass das politische Kalkül des Kurswechsels nicht aufgehen wird und irgendwann die Frage auftaucht: Warum hat man die schon eroberte Unabhängigkeit aufs Spiel gesetzt?" https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2019/10/interview-2/ #Politik
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Linux Magazin habe ich zusammen mit Matthias @kirschner einen Artikel zu den neuen Herausforderungen für Freie-Software-Geschäftsmodelle veröffentlicht. https://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgaben/2019/10/fsfe-standpunkt/ #FSFE #FreieSoftware #OpenSource #Geschäftsmodelle
"Public services that do not share software solutions prevent others from reusing them, and so increase the costs to society", that's why Italy’s financial inspectors include public sector software reuse in their audits. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/open-source-observatory-osor/news/lower-cost-society #pmpc #FreeSoftware #policy #italy
