Dear @georgetakei
Sorry to bother you.

I spent my career working on policy issues in Free & #OpenSource software. I didn't write the code for Mastodon/fediverse, but I invented the licensing structure it uses called Affero #GPL

its licensing ensures equal rights between companies, individuals, hobbyists, & enthusiasts.

You've been a hero of mine since I was 11 years old. I have been crying with joy for 5 minutes upon discovering you use this platform.

Thank you for everything.

back in the old days installing Linux destroyed whatever was on the disk - often Windows

slowly tools matured to help partition disks and install multiple operating systems

a key step was setting up the boot loader - a rite of passage for many Linux enthusiasts in the 2000s

in the days before GRUB we had LILO, and would spend time editing lilo.conf to get Windows on the boot menu, and then to "chainload"

Here's a polarimetric color composite of a Sentinel-1C image processed with EO-Tools — shown both without and with terrain flattening. It's fascinating how much information is hidden by topography.

I'm thinking of adding compositing functions directly into the software. What do you think — would that be useful?

Vytvořil jsem novou #PHP knihovnu určenou k deserializaci #XML z STORMWARE s.r.o. #Pohoda do PHP Tříd.

Jakmile knihovnova stráví vstupní xml soubor z pohody vytvoří z něj objekt který obsahuje metody potřebné pro práci s daty. Například součet položek fakury ve zvýšené sazbě dph získáme voláním

```$invoice->getInvoiceSummary()->getHomeCurrency()->getPriceHighSum()```

A jako třešinka na dortu je možnost po změně hodnot v objektu tento zase vyexportovat (zeserializovat) jako XML

Knihovna vznikla pro účelu právě se rodícího nástroje "pohoda-realpad" o kterém zase někdy příště.

Zdrojové kódy jako obvykle jsou plně k dispozici na GitHubu

Der @NDR hat einen Beitrag über die Abhängigkeit im IT-Bereich von amerikanischen Unternehmen:

Wie der Abschied von Microsoft und Co. gelingen kann.

"Über digitale Souveränität dürfen wir nicht nur in der Theorie sprechen. Wir müssen sie konkret angehen und umsetzen", sagt Digitalisierungsminister Dirk Schrödter (CDU). "Nur dann bleiben wir Herr über unsere Daten. Wir müssen uns aus der Abhängigkeit von einzelnen monopolhaften - insbesondere außereuropäischen - Anbietern lösen." Erst vor gut zwei Wochen habe die Staatskanzlei in Kiel von Microsofts E-Mail-Programm Outlook erfolgreich umgestellt auf eine Open-Source-Alternative, so Schrödter.

@lukadjo @ApAlun @Crispius @fedilore @freeagent @vfrmedia

just an idea

(not an original one):

the problem with #algorithms on #centralized #socialMedia is that they can be manipulated

on the #fediverse why not have a menu of #openSource algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?

people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their #algorithm stupor

if that's what they want

is there harm in that?

i'm not saying they *have* to do that
