I’ve spoken with my boss (he’s a bit of a dickhead but his heart’s in the right place) and confirmed that I won’t be getting fired for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide and supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people to live with freedom and dignity like the rest of us but not everyone is as lucky.

Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj gained hundreds of thousands of social media followers by discussing the Gaza genocide. She was fired after a pressure campaign from Israel lobby groups that she believes aimed to silence her. Despite this, she remains unbowed.Asma Barakat (Mondoweiss)

Folks: Aral, you’re all about free and open technology, why won’t you speak at #FOSDEM?

Because “Free and Open Source Software isn’t about freedom/privacy/human rights/democracy” is one helluva take.
(And yes, you’re right, “open source” isn’t about any of those things. It’s just about the source being openly available. Not about protecting its openness or anything. It’s open as in “open for business.” But free (as in freedom) software/technology…? Well, I guess some of us would beg to differ.)
Oh, and if you want a philosophy/movement that isn’t shy or apologetic about being about freedom/privacy/human rights/democracy, see Small Tech:

Imagine your child in the place of a child from Gaza. Can you afford this‼️‼️‼️

A broad coalition of groups sounded an urgent alarm in advance of a critical parliamentary vote on Bill C-12. The bill would open the door to discrimination and violations of human rights and due process in Canada’s immigration system.Tamir Israel (CCLA)
