The second article in our series on digital autonomy looks into the open source software supply chain.

Author Jeffrey McGuire talks to Armijn Hemel (DeviceCode) & Philippe Ombredanne (AboutCode). Both have a long track record building tools to manage the FOSS supply chain.

Privacy you have to take on faith isn't worth much.

Catchlight's iOS code is open source, Apache-2.0, encryption and all, on GitHub.

You don't have to trust me that there's no backdoor, no quiet phone-home, no analytics. You, or someone you trust, can read it.

For a privacy app I think that should be the minimum, not a bonus.

this perpetuates the power-imbalance. this is the perfect example of using the oppressors tools won’t free you from the oppression which you identified:

LLMs ARE A LABOR PROBLEM

techbros are in the business of selling software as violence against workers. that’s why they treat their employees as mercenaries.

#FOSS need to band into #cooperatives to build sustainable alts to ecocidal #LLMs

Zerion 3.0 is close. Our own protocol stack replacing the inherited Bramble layers: Tor-only, post-quantum on every message, constant-rate cover traffic so an observer can’t tell messages from noise.

In final testing now, two more transports:

I2P as an opt-in alternative to Tor. And a Bluetooth mesh for communicating with no internet at all, blackouts, protests, disasters.

Tor stays mandatory. The rest is additive.

I've been working on ways to improve the air quality in my house, which includes monitoring, so I bought open source indoor/outdoor monitors from AirGradient, a Thai company.

Just want to report that I have gotten both monitors set up and I'm super duper impressed with the kits and the process. I've put together quite a few kits and these were among the easiest and best documented. The way they handle privacy is impressive, and the process has been perfect.

Because of recent ToS of #codeberg, I have to write few words.

I am from Iran. For years, we've been blocked by the US sanctions. These sanctions didn't hurt the regime much. But it does hurt me people greatly. The US isn't shy about doing whatever they want with other nations for their benefits or in the name of fighting terrorism.

#cryptocurrency has been a way for us to trade with parties abroad without any government, America or our own, being able to censor the money transfer.

Imagine, if one day the US government puts a sanction on the whole Europe, what will citizens of each side could do?

That's the power the traditional money system gives to the governments. If a US citizen wants to give me money for a job, or vice versa, what right does our governments have to prevent us from doing so? Why the governments have to interfere with every single thing their citizen does?

You might be interested to check out my posts around the concept "Community has no boundary" I talked about 5 years ago, e.g. in this topic: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/standardizing-on-a-common-community-domain-as-ap-extension/1353

When I was still facilitator of #SocialHub I claimed that it wasn't a community in any real sense, with mostly #developers driving by on self-interested motives. It was just a discussion #forum, where a poor commons janitor (me) had to do the unthankful volunteer upkeep.

"Expectation mismatch" plays an important role when anyone mentions "community". A "community-driven #FOSS project" is partly the formal #governance that is in place, but mostly implicit cultural aspects. Knowing what you can expect is important, to not get disappointed.

A #fediverse instance to me isn't #community. I only use the Home timeline.

As we navigate fedi we 'weave' in and out of #communities seamlessly, without realizing it. A rich concept of inter-community #Social networking is possible, I think, but it should be carefully designed.
