My wife has been learning #Esperanto and it has made me realize that for projects to be truly open source something needs to be done about documentation and language. English has been the default for most hardware and software documentation but the areas with the fastest technology growth mostly have English as a second language. How many more aspiring engineers, developers, and activists are there that are being held back by a language barrier? Esperanto is certainly much easier to learn

For anyone interested in Memex, I've just started separate issue tracker for the things I really need help with now. If anyone can at least get a start on any of these it would be incredibly valuable to helping it get uptake on it's vision.

My feed is way too quiet - I need more people to follow on Mastodon. Can I have some recommendations?

Esp interested in:

- Web apps / Open source
- Front-end development
- Startups / makers / sideprojects

Actively trying to avoid:

- Political commentary
- Dogmatic views
- Social justice crusades

Is there anything like an #ActivityPub based #Wikipedia alternative? I think this would be a really cool project, and if it doesn't exist, it should be created. I would be happy to help write the concept, but most likely not the programming side.

If you are wondering why this is important, the gist of it is that Wikipedia is also a centralized platform, just as much as Twitter or Facebook. This causes various problems, like administrators having too much power and banning users they don't like. Articles are generally written from a capitalist/neoliberal perspective, while leftist viewpoints are censored.

"Habe seit 15 Jahren keinen Cent mehr Lohn bekommen: Bahnfahrer schimpfen über Streik"

Würd ja sagen - dann liegt das Problem nicht bei den DB-Leuten, sondern bei deinem Chef.
Nach Inflationsrechner ist das übrigens effektiv eine Lohnsenkung von fast 20% in den 15 Jahren.
So kann man sich halt auch verarschen lassen.

Since we didn't get very many women, enbies, or people of color to submit talks, the folks choosing talks for the Decentralisation & Internet Privacy track at FOSSDEM 19 decided that we'd like to ask of you:

If you submitted a talk, go ask an underrepresented minority friend/acquaintance of yours if they'd like to give the talk with you/in your stead.

CC @fosdem, can we get a little boost 💜?

Correctiv hat zusammen mit 18 Medienpartnern den größten Steuerraub Europas aufgedeckt. Jetzt ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft HH gegen den Chefredakteur Oliver Schröm in Zusammenhang mit den #CumEx Recherchen. Der Vorwurf: Anstiftung zum Verrat von Geschäfts- und Betriebsgeheimnissen. Sie fordern, die Strafverfolgung auf die Steuerräuber zu konzentrieren und die Ermittlungen gegen Ihren Chefredakteur einzustellen. Ein Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit? #sharedichdrum

Given recent events in #auspol this repo could turn out to be really useful in the coming months
