I submitted a proposal for a lightning talk for #FOSDEM . It's about .... from street-level hack to open cultural production.

It began as a small patch for a real-world bug: holes in the road. A few hackers chose action over complaints and the result was a Creative Commons theater play, performed in Sofia, Bulgaria.pretalx.fosdem.org
Hello #Fediverse,
as #FOSDEM 2026 is approaching I was thinking about bridging the livestreams to #PeerTube as well.
Streams are under #CreativeCommons license that allows sharing videos, so there is no big deal in it.
As there are plenty of rooms (and we dibs Social Web for #VHSky :) ), it would be fun to coordinate streaming accross multiple instances to stream as much rooms as possible without overloading single instance.
What do you think, anybody interested?
Also, anybody has idea how to actually bridge m3u to PeerTube? @j4n3z maybe?
It's my pleasure to announce storyseedlibrary.org/ - a #library of #solarpunk #art and story seeds to help you imagine a better #climate future!
Huge thanks to all the artists who shared their art under various #creativeCommons licenses, including @the_lemonaut , @NiwlCraft and @jacobcoffin ! No AI will replace handcrafted art!
If you liked our @SolarpunkPrompts #podcast , the Story Seeds are expanding its concept - soon with more, unpublished ones!

In case people didn't know, Creative Commons has been on the side of "screw your rights and livelihood, it's fair use" regarding GenAI training since at least 2021.

The new "AI" license 'signals' are interesting as a development (assuming anyone honours them when companies mass pirated commercial creative works!) but not a surprise (and apparently don't include a "no" option, because that's elsewhere in a spec and this is for granularity of yes)
While we generally support broad access to content to train AI, we also aim to increase our understanding of the ethical concerns.Creative Commons
I'm old enough to remember how @creativecommons was founded as a way for independent creators to safely share their work and build upon each other.
In 2024, their take is now "billion dollar companies plagiarizing your art is fair use".

Hats off to the author, you don't see that kind of, uh, skillful rhetoric chicanery every day. Like "generative AI doesn't compete with artists because artists are not in the data market". 😬
#CreativeCommons #GenerativeAI
While generative AI as a tool for artistic expression isn’t truly new — AI has been used to create art since at least the 1970s and the art auction house Christie’s sold its first piece of AI artwork in 2018 — the past year launched this exciting and…Nate Angell (Creative Commons)
Question to the #writing community:
I co-authored an illustrated short story from the glider.ink/ project, about 4.5k words. No magazine we sent it to was interested in publishing, so we'd like to put it somewhere on #creativecommons .
What's the best place to publish it? A subpage of glider.ink ? Wattpad? Medium? Somewhere else?
