What will the Foundation do to protect projects at the heart of Matrix? How do we determine what those “core” projects are? And are there any projects that don’t belong at the Foundation?
We're beginning the process of defining a new governance framework for Foundation projects, in collaboration with the Governing Board and the rest of the ecosystem. matrix.org/blog/2024/08/heart-…

That's actually a very good question.
Surely this kind of behavior will speed up our real world Monopoly's end game and while Apple must know that on some level they're probably incapable of acting otherwise, like any other monopoly.
I'm just amazed that Cory Doctorow thinks that it is shocking what Apple does, as it seems hardly anything new, predictable, textbook Capitalism.

Just got me a #pixel3a - used, cheap and in surprisingly good condition. The updater of the stock rom tells me that the device is EOL - and indeed, according to endoflife.date/pixel it was EOLed over two years ago, despite being released only some 5/6 years ago. The kernel version starts with 4.x.
Well, tomorrow pre-build #postmarketos images should appear on postmarketos.org/install/, the next weekly should have it promoted from "testing" to "community" and the kernel is at 6.10.x.
Important for me: the front camera should already work and for the back one there are WIP patches that work, meaning this device will probably be the first Android device with both cameras being supported (and most other thing as well!).
Sure, we're still very far away from what even a super outdated Android can offer. I for one am super eager and motivated to see if we can make #linuxmobile (upstream!) a somewhat reasonably alternative though - and make #postmarketos live up to its name :)

Ich hatte hier vor einiger Zeit im Rahmen der letzten #TwitterExodus -Wellen auf andere Social Media Plattformen im Kontext des #Fediverse hingewiesen, u.a. auf Firefish.
Leider wurde da die Entwicklung eingestellt, aber der #Misskey -Fork #Sharkey (joinsharkey.org) ist dafür umso aktiver. (Wie alle anderen Projekte, die #ActivityPub nutzen, föderiert auch Sharkey problemlos mit #Pixelfed oder #Mastodon.)
Wer das mal austesten möchte: federation.network/ oder sharkey.world/ bieten einen einfachen Einstieg.
Was ich an der Software besonders interessant finde, sind die Funktionen "Antennen" und "Kanäle".
Je heterogener das Fediverse wird, was die verwendeten Plattformen angeht, desto weniger Sorgen muss man sich um das Erreichen einer kritischen Masse machen. Die lokale Timeline mag dünn aussehen, aber die föderierten oder globalen Timelines sind dafür aktiv.

Hell, controls in general will test things beyond your imagination, and half the time lives are on the line.
A job I interviewed for on-site produces nuclear fuel rods. There is a river not far away. The nearby Hanford site alone threatens to leak 80 year old nuclear waste into the soil as its tanks threaten to fail.
No operation in that geographical area can go wrong. And if something does, it has to be resolved immediately. Soil can't be contaminated. Water cannot be polluted. If these sites fail, hundreds of thousands of people near the river & downriver could be hurt. That region hosts a ton of agriculture.
As stuff in this industry becomes increasingly connected to the outside world, protecting these systems from bad actors is even more critical. We rely on proven cryptography even more than ever now.
Yes Matrix is a chat system, but that fucking attitude pisses me off so much. I would get fired for letting that kind of thing happen. Who knows what someone could do if I let this happen.
"Nobody is obligated to buy from you. Nobody has to use your service. You can go out of business tomorrow if everyone just stopped buying from you."
I cannot in good conscience trust a company, a group, a project, that openly admits to ignoring something that they knew about years ago. What else do they know is a failure point that hasn't been found, that they maybe haven't addressed in years? How can anyone trust that they have their shit together after this? WHY should ANYBODY trust their claims now?
However neat I think Matrix is, this behavior alone is enough to convince me to never trust these people with anything. I know shit about crypto but I know a lot about critical infrastructure. If my former company fucked up hard, knew about the fuck up, and didn't do anything about it for years? I'd expect potential clients to never trust us again.
I will be taking my business elsewhere. I don't know where it might go, but it certainly won't be with anything involving Matrix or the team(s) behind it.

Takže, v paralelnom vesmírne Erica Schmidta, môže za zaostávanie Googlu na poli AI rozhodnutie, že ľudia môžu pracovať z domu.
Takéto vyhlásenia sú zlé na tak veľa úrovniach, ako to je len možné a vedia ma dostať do vývrtky. Áno, než som toto napísal, musel som si napočítať do desať, opakovane, ináč by som sa znížil iba k jednoslovnému vulgarizmu.
Pracujem z domu viac než dekádu, coachoval som viacero kolegov a známych, ktorí behom toho obdobia (už aj pred pandémiou) postupne prechádzali na remote work. Sám som za tú dobu vystriedal množstvo interných pozícii smerom hore, či dokonca prešiel úžasným (externým) kariérnym skokom, takže smelo predpokladám, že som biznisu odovzdával nadpriemernú hodnotu.
Taktiež môžem povedať, že som týmto veľa získal v osobnom živote - týždenne ušetrené hodiny času, môcť vidieť, v priamom prenose, svoje deti vyrastať, flexibilita na starosti denného života... Je to na nezaplatenie a je to win-win.
Iste, nie je to pre každého, iste, sú aj ľudia, ktorí budú mať tendenciu takúto príležitosť zneužívať, alebo ju iba jednoducho a ľudsky nezvládnu. Adresovať tieto nástrahy je však úlohou managementu. A kto vedie management? Leadership!
Takže, ak Eric tvrdí niečo takéto, treba pozorne počúvať. Síce to znie ako, boli sme ňuňu dobrí na ľudí, a preto zaostávame, ale v skutočnosti tým hovorí - sme naprd leadri, s mizerným managementom, ktorí nezvládli svoju základnú úlohu - efektívne riadiť ľudí.
Ono, je tu však ešte tretia, najpravdepodobnejšie (uvidíme) možnosť: nedarí sa, spálilo sa mrte prachov bez adekvátneho vysledku, treba nájsť vinníka a ideálne zmienku ako zoštíhliť firmu, teda vyhodiť pár ľudí... ale keďže sme už ňuňu dobrí, my nikoho vyhadzovať nebudeme, my iba všetkým prikážeme návrat do office a oni odídu dobrovoľne... Rád by som sa mýlil, ale za posledný rok som takýchto pribehov videl už niekoľko.
Je tu však háčik - takýmto spôsobom sa firma zbaví predovšetkým tých šikovnejších, tých ktorí sú si vedomí svojich schopností aj pridanej hodnoty, bez toho aby strávili život v openspace... A viete čo - dobre im tak!
