I like the Open Source Pledge.
osspledge.com/
If your institution uses #OpenSource software, it should chip in to pay for it.
We can extend the idea to the #OpenInfrastructure supporting #OpenAccess to research. First, institutions should use open rather than proprietary #infrastructure (see e.g. the #BOAI20, Recommendation 1). Second, when they use it, they should chip in to pay for it.

At a UN Security Council session, Palestinian envoy to the UN Riyad Mansour accuses Israel of employing "genocide" and "apartheid" tactics to achieve colonial aims, saying that Palestinians are suffering "disposition, displacement, devastation, destruction and death.
“Instead of ending the Nakba, Israeli fascist extremist leaders have decided to try to bring it to its ultimate conclusion: Palestine with no Palestinians,” Mansour said.

Lovely obituary for Steve Silberman...
He wrote about the developmental condition in “NeuroTribes,” a 2015 bestseller that promoted understanding and acceptance of people who think differently. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/…

Today I’m toying with the DJI Neo.
There’s never been a cheaper, easier-to-use DJI drone than the $200 Neo for self-flying selfies.
But I’m so torn. The foldable $350 HoverAir X1 seems better for my social video needs. It filmed my opening shot below! But I love soaring with FPV goggles, which Hover can’t do. Maybe I’ll wait and see if DJI sells a budget FPV bundle.
Book 34: Gevangenis met een open deur, by Jan Terlouw.
Very good YA book about a cult, and how easily some people are sucked into it. Written in 1986, but still quite relevant when you think how disinformation influences people's views.

In the next version of #Fedify, it will allow you to decouple actor URIs from WebFinger usernames with the mapHandle() method. For example, you can use UUIDs for actor URIs but let users use their own username of choice for their fediverse handle.

Tomorrow we will have our first meeting since the summer holidays.
We are excited to make new plans to push for FOSS in the digital worlds we inhabit.
Because while the need to take back control over our digital lives increases every year, many of our fellow colleagues and fellow students are still (kept) unaware of the urgency.
Hello #fedifriends, I've just realized that #asciidoc & #asciidoctor aren't the same thing, so I was using the documentation of asciidoctor and processing the my document with asciidoc… 🤦♂️
I don't know who came late, but the choice of the name is very confused, so now I'd like to know what the #fediversians like to use if asciidoc or asciidoctor, or at least you recommend.
The point is some stuff aren't working because perhaps aren't for ascidoc on the other end asciidoctor is very aggressive on the web search, so unless you don't exclude it from the search it completely eclipses the other one.
Thanks! 🙏
