Open tools are not just technical choices. They are democratic ones.

This is the principle behind the digital commons: that the systems shaping our learning, civic life, data, and participation should not be locked away from the people who depend on them.

"Democracy runs on information. ... Transparency isn't a feature of Aotearoa New Zealand's democracy; it's the foundation of it.
...
Speaking technically, it is easy enough to bypass, but the real problem isn't really a technical one. The problem is that a decision was made, somewhere inside the Parliamentary Service, that automated access to public parliamentary data should be treated as a threat."

Hola, Fedivers! 👋

Us presento Lavapp, un mapa col·laboratiu de banys públics accessibles (i els que no ho són).

Podeu trobar banys per ubicació, filtrar per accessibilitat, si és gratuït, si té opció no-binària, canviador...

Encara està una mica buit i necessita la vostra ajuda!

Si us hi registreu, podeu afegir-hi banys nous i deixar valoracions.

És gratuït, obert i fet amb molt d'amor❤️

We have infrastructure for emotions — feeds, outrage cycles, viral moments. We don't have infrastructure for judgment.
No permanent mechanism through which citizens record how they actually assess those who govern them — not as a vote, not as a protest, but as a quiet, regular, verifiable signal. Between elections, that signal simply doesn't exist.
Teisond is building it.

Der Wohnort-Kompass ist ein Open-Data-Projekt zur personalisierten Wohnortsuche in Deutschland. Das Tool bündelt Daten zu Klima, Luftqualität, Sicherheit, Demografie, Alltagsnähe, Flächennutzung und ÖPNV und übersetzt sie in transparente Rankings und Vergleichsansichten. Du legst selbst fest, was dir wichtig ist, und erhälst so eine datenbasierte Entscheidungshilfe für die Wohnortwahl.

Seeking advice. I frequently teach a #HigherEd #AcademicChatter class in the US on Social Informatics which includes a module on #OpenGovernment and #CivicTech to give students an overview of the sector (international, national, state/provincial, local) as a public good, driver of economic health, and locus for potential careers. Obviously there have been changes in US federal policies with deleterious trends in the past year, and I have those covered.

I am seeking help covering emerging #DigitalSovereignty trends. Especially those which involve non-US entities leaving or planning departures from US-based tech because of any combination of tariff demands, copyright/surveillance policies, or other concerns about corporate and/or political power. I already cover the UK transition to Open Document Format in 2014. So I'm not presenting this as something new, but the speed and urgency is definitely picking up (see example links of EU moves to promote FOSS alternatives to US tech, France dropping Teams and Zoom).

1. Examples and links are definitely welcome

2. Thoughts from folks about how to explain this emergent scenario to US-based #ComputerScience and #Informatics and other college students, and its impacts on their futures. Thoughts from outside and inside the US are very welcome.

3. Same as no.2 but where do you see this trend in 5 years? 10 years?

You read this far? Thank you! Wow!

「KPIは睡眠時間」──オードリー・タンに聞く、日本企業の生産性が上がらない根本原因(ITmedia ビジネスオンライン)
#Yahooニュース https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/450dafa6876c8bc172fca7fb81ec98ab9260feb4

A work culture that demands endurance without changing the framework has been draining the capacity for new ideas.

If even 0.2% of workers nationwide speak up,it stops being “an individual issue”and becomes a policy issue.
We need a system that can collect those voices.

I’m building a system to collect those voices.

Democracy is often discussed. It is rarely practiced across borders.

This short video takes you inside the EU Democracy Campus and its virtual parliament: a space designed for young Europeans to rehearse democratic participation together, across languages and borders.

What if democracy wasn’t just taught — but felt?
What if civic education happened inside a system built for empathy, dialogue, and imagination?

1,000 young Europeans from Portugal and Türkiye stepped into a virtual parliament — and discovered that democracy is not a concept, but a practice.
