"Assholes are killing your project" https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/dberkholz/assholes-are-killing-your-project-mdc-2017 Could quantitative analysis help to identify those assholes like we can identify "core" or "valuable" contributors? Interesting potential research..

This is one of the reasons why tools like #GrimoireLab and good Goals-Questions-Metrics strategy are better approach for me to "measure" open source development. Communities go beyond code! http://dissociatedpress.net/stop-using-github-as-a-measure-of-open-source-contributions/

Negotiators between Parliament, Commission and Council will now create a text based on this terrible proposal. But there's still one more vote in Parliament, probably early next year before the EU elections. Tell your MEPs, and tell your country's governments to #SaveYourInternet

BREAKING: Worst possible outcome in the European Parliament copyright vote: MEPs vote for #uploadfilters , #linktax, a narrow #TDM exception for data-mining, no #freedomofpanorama—plus a new IP right for sports organizers.

EFF's @doctorow did a deep dive into how the new EU copyright filters would work.
Essentially, this measure will censor the Internet and it won't even help artists to get paid. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/how-eus-copyright-filters-will-make-it-trivial-anyone-censor-internet
What are holidays good for? Back to the roots: my devices should be using as much #FOSS and distributed networks as possible. F-Droid, Tusky/Mastodon, Riot.fm/Matrix, AntennaPod, Firefox, Focus,... #IdontWantToBeTheProduct

Appreciated the #XOXOfest reminder of how much freedom we're surrending to tech giants under the guise of free speech or to "make things for others". You are the product. The Internet wasn't designed with this in mind, folks.

There are five days to go before the European Parliament votes on a proposal that would impose copyright filters on European social media. Here's what you can do. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/fake-compromises-real-threats-next-weeks-eu-copyright-vote
