"vore is always inherently nsfw"

Vore is not an inherently sexual kink to begin with.

This song is hornier than most furry vore art.

Yeah, that's the thing, using the trefoil for aesthetics dilutes it's effectiveness.

Like finding some medical stuff at the scrap yard with the cool logo on them and cracking them open to see inside, as somebody with great, nerdy taste stickered them when they had it.

I'm certain @funranium already has a blogpost or copypastable rant about the subject.

@ftg @Jencen @funranium I think that’s why there’s an additional variant with a skull and crossbones and a running person symbol for dangerously hot sources.

(I think the guys at Goiânia in Brazil said they saw the trefoil symbols, but didn’t know what that symbol meant)

the French and German governments open sourced this month a software to replace Notion

And there are more

Absolutely! There are interesting funding opportunities that, frankly, get underexposed.

Are you familiar with @nlnet ? Their core business is to support organisations and people who contribute to an open internet, by funding projects and making available a slew of services. I have collaborated with them in a couple of projects, which has been an excellent experience.

yes to all you said + Please not only fund but also use the result and make that success visible to the public. Make them/us aware. Otherwise the money is wasted.
Fund a tool or project and use it. Make the people that they want to benefit from the possibilities.

Examples (maybe they are bad but the idea should become clear.)
Fund Matrix and Element and use it for communication with a doctor, announcement of traffic jam or emergency notifications bla bla. Create good use cases.

I'll call you Jason "viable alternative" Slaughter from now on 🤪

Just kidding. I agree 100% . We need viable alternatives in many more areas, beyond software and transportation.

So true. Shout out to NLnet: they are doing some great work here, funding both immediate and longer-term OSS projects. Anyone can apply!

I am part of a group of experienced IT people that have experience in building cloud platforms (a la aws / azure etc).

We'd LOVE ❤️ to build a NON-profit, European created & operated public cloud and only charge for costs... (since we don't like the idea of yet another big tech firm squeezing money from people)

Problem is that we have no clue where to even get started with support from government or Europe.... which we'd need because I doubt we'd get VC funding. 😋

I think there's probably a case for some software not being open source. It does let your adversaries have a look at code running on all your important stuff. The more is automated and such in your infrastructure the more impact a zero-day could have.

Your government should own the code though, or be able to look at and audit it. That's a must. It's nuts to buy something from some company that might have a shutoff in it.

When possible though it should be open source.

What assurance do you have that those governments won't pick really inefficient, cumbersome-to-maintain, bogged-down-with-complexity OpenSource projects, which get mired in problems down the road - BUT have the virtue of having more bells and whistles (conveniences, simplifications) that the end users will like?

Do those governments have incentive to pick the mature, lean-and-mean #OpenSource choices, which have less bells and whistles, -OR- the bloated, cumbersome, Johhny-come-lately Open Source choices, *with more end-user convenience*, and are likely to run way over budget in the longer term? I predict they'll choose the second kind of choice, in a short-sighted, desperate attempt to bring the most convenience to the end users. And it'll bog down in a few years - being really hard to maintain and support; the project being a failure. They'll return back to closed source in a few years - *and thereby get all the end-user convenience they were wanting all along*, realizing they have to pay for it.

the European parliament has had a Digital Sovereignty Think Tank for some years:

europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/e…

I think the problem for them has been the same as for everyone: there has not been a really strong motive to move away from the very mature and quite convenient US-based services.

Unfortunately, that opens up new problems. There was some news article recently about third party companies (lacking in-depth nowledge about the software) claimed support contracts with goverment institutions and grabbed tax money, while the actual developers of open source software were largely left out.

Hey, you may have influenced my YouTube algorithm; this was in my top recs just now: youtube.com/watch?v=Bu3S2A02FF…
