  4. Post 2 — the response:
    Violence is what happens when people have no other option that feels real.
    A constitutional process that feels accessible and genuine reduces pressure. One that feels captured or irrelevant doesn't.
    The answer to AI displacement ?
    It's to build infrastructure that makes the transition survivable —
    retraining pathways, genuine deliberation, economic structures that distribute benefit rather than concentrate it.
    That's the work worth doing.

  9. "Wir wollen, dass eigentlich viel mehr investiert wird in Open Source, damit es eben irgendwann so groß werden kann und als Standard definiert werden kann. Aber dafür müssen wir investieren und zwar punktuell an den Orten, wo wir wo wir uns wirklich auch frei machen wollen von BigTech."

    Aya Jaff hat im Silicon Valley gearbeitet und die Tech Bros kennengelernt. Inzwischen hat sie ein Buch darüber geschrieben: "Broligarchie. Die Machtspiele der Tech-Elite und wie sie Fortschritt verhindern" - Kürzlich war sie zur Digitalen Woche in Kiel zu einem spannenden Gespräch mit Bendix Hügelmann.

  10. Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

    ox.ogeer.org/event/good-enough

    The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

  14. A centralized system that promises anonymity
    is one subpoena away from breaking that promise.
    One court order. One data breach. One acquisition.
    The promise evaporates.
    Because someone holds the keys.
    True anonymity requires no one holds the keys.
    Decentralized identity verification through hardware means there's no central record to subpoena. No company to pressure. No keys to hand over.
    Structural anonymity. Not promised anonymity.

  22. The final text of Colorado's OS-level age verification bill now explicitly exempts libre operating systems. So if you don't want your age to be captured by websites, use BSD or Linux.

  23. Closed source infrastructure makes decisions about your life.
    Which loan you qualify for.
    Whether your resume gets seen.
    How your medical data gets used.
    What information you're allowed to access.

    You just live with the outcome.
    When that infrastructure fails or exploits you — and it does — there's no way to prove it. No code to point to. No accountability without the owner's cooperation.
    Closed source isn't just a licensing choice.
    It's a power structure.

  27. RE: mastodon.social/@voteinorout/1

    A BlackRock AI data center illegally tapped 30 million gallons of water from a Georgia community during a drought.
    Two unauthorized hookups. No accountability until residents noticed.
    This is centralized AI in practice.
    One company. One location. One point of extraction.
    The community had no say.
    Distributed local-first AI changes this.
    No single data center draining a town's water supply.
    No single point of unaccountable control.

  29. @foolishowl @miss_rodent @xgranade Don't give up on #FOSS just because the very reason that it's free might make it vulnerable to exploitation by proprietary adversaries. But Oh my lord of darkness does it frustrate me as well.
