YouTube video by Louis Rossmann Washington wants your 3D printer to spy on you - here's the bill

Would not be surprised to find a hidden corporate sponsor for this, effectively trying to make manufacturing inaccessible to startup and small business competition and concentrate power, doing a pilot run for the propaganda in Washington.

The disasters caused by monopolies, and oligopolies, that are overwhelmingly corrupt like the insurance industries, never ends. We need to change how these systems are able to work foundationally.

Rather advanced simulation systems exist out there for many topics, and an aquaculture specific system based on hybridization of robotic, environmental, and other control system and feedback dynamics could be useful for a wide variety of things - staying in space, terraforming, and saving climate

Aquaculture Combined with Bacterial/Algae tank systems that are easier to control populations for via specialized robotics and environment controls, as well as being partially self-sustaining to minimize maintanence, would be an amazing thing to look into. It could also be useful for local economy.

All monopolies use Open Source as the basis for almost all of their technology, and they themselves do not usually realize it when drinking their own kool-aid, watching their own commercials that tell them how innovative they are.

Open Projects like these are critical for refining policy and ways to achieve goals that can keep the future livable. And to be frank, Open Source projects are likely to be our only path to an economy that allows us to survive and curb climate crisis - companies & politicians certainly won’t.

"We list these “carbon bombs” by name, show in which countries they are located and calculate their potential emissions which combined exceed the global 1.5 °C carbon budget by a factor of two... 40% of carbon bombs have not yet started extraction"

CarbonBombs.org CarbonBombs.org is a tool to follow the evolution of carbon bombs and new extraction projects in the world.

Nice, the open source data set is available here...

Our Open-source Hardware Infrastructure for The Netherlands (OSHNED) has been granted :)
This will strengthen and improve coordination among the hubs in the Netherlands (Wageningen, Eindhoven, Delft, VU, Radboud) with a single goal: making Open Hardware the standard in science.

Thousands Tell the Patent Office: Don’t Hide Bad Patents From Review A massive wave of public comments just told the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO): don’t shut the public out of patent review.EFF submitted its own formal comment opposing the USPTO’s proposed

Open-source communities, small businesses, law professors, patient advocates, and thousands of individuals all told the USPTO the same thing: we need a real way to challenge bad patents. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

A screenshot of Waterfox Git repo that reads: About Waterfox: Waterfox is an open-source, privacy-focused browser based on the popular open source browser with a red panda as a mascot.

Seattle Councilmember-elect Dionne Foster showing up for baristas at Starbucks HQ! #NoContractNoCoffee

Open Source EVERYTHING😆

We need to simplify it, or just do what the commercial providers do, ensure it is easy for some local businesses to be Linux IT people who help people switch casually and help them set up their own business using Open Source Software & Hardware. Kills me it could save economies but is squandered.

Just buy Open Source hardware from the beginning, and install some Linux on it. Or we need to start making orgs to make them more available.

We can build Open Source Hardware for everything to compete with monopolies and make them anywhere using Open Source Decentralized manufacturing.

No Contract, No Coffee! 🚫☕️

Honored to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas in their fight for a fair contract with living wages and safe staffing. It’s unconscionable that Starbucks continues to stall negotiations.

Support workers, no Starbucks until contract! ✊🏽

A pin of a folded up newspaper that shows buildings on fire. It says "News Flash, We're Fucked".

You don't have to buy anything during Black Friday sales. But if you want to, you don't have to buy from soulless megacorporations. You can buy from small independent businesses that make funny little things. For example, today's Low Quality Ad, this funny little Newspaper pin.

Stack of blocks labeled, all modern digital infrastructure. A ratchet tipping over the entire stack is labeled AI. A load bearing pillar is labeled unpaid open source development. Another label is AWS, and Cloudflare and Unpaid Open Source Developers.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.
