Lessons from the GNOME Patent Troll Incident | James Bottomley's random Pages - https://blog.hansenpartnership.com/lessons-from-the-gnome-patent-troll-incident/

Anyone here has used team management software? I am working with other people and I feel we are wasting quite some time in decision making, task assigning and so on, as they are used to work in person but now team is all over Italy.

They are not IT people, they are biologists, naturalists, so I'm looking for friendly and easy solutions, even at the cost of flexibility.

Any input or opinion is appreciated!

Interesting AMA from a Mozilla employee

https://tildes.net/~tech/ra8/i_am_a_mozilla_employee_amaa

this is going to be my new go-to.

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you’re interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

Note: Federation is still in active development and the WebSocket, as well as, HTTP API are currently unstable

“[Robin] DiAngelo isn’t the first person to make a buck pushing tricked-up pseudo-intellectual horseshit as corporate wisdom, but she might be the first to do it selling Hitlerian race theory. […] It takes a special kind of ignorant for an author to choose an example that illustrates the mathematical opposite of one’s intended point, but this isn’t uncommon in #WhiteFragility, which may be the dumbest book ever written. It makes The Art of the Deal read like Anna Karenina.”
