I may not get this quote quite right so paraphrasing: Zoe Khan <https://zoebkahn.github.io/> examined the problem of integrating expertise to create complex systems, and software (unlike plane construction) basically never does this, and key expertise is just ignored.

Zoe was talking about CS generally, but she could just have easily being describing what's going on in #FOSS specifically — & particularly FOSS licensing & #copyleft.

A reminder to everyone that if you're awake (still middle of the night in USA), you can watch @undonecs gratis. Sadly it's a proprietary software streaming service, but the organizers worked really hard to organize the event. If I come next year, I'll volunteer to help do FOSS streaming next year.

This conference is covering topics that everyone should hear if you work in tech. Check it out!

Little did I know #LinuxFoundation & its wealthy cronies were the reason my gratis upgrade didn't clear. #LF's got an event starting tomorrow in Amsterdam. My seat mate told me.

It's funny — as I head to #UndoneCS to talk about how LF funds research that distracts us from real #FOSS &#copyleft — I sit in the cheap seats while the capitalist sleep in flat bed seats up front.

It's quite the metaphor.

Yay, my merch order from @fsfe came in. That's a t-shirt and a pair of socks, all the stickers were in the package for free. I'll slap them on old ThinkPads for sure!! 😄 #FreeSoftware #Freedom #CopyLeft #Merch #FSFE
Mmmh, Baklava im Bett zum Start in den freien Tag :)
Mit #copyleft zur Nachahmung empfohlen!
Copying Is Not Theft — a rousing free-culture anthem! Nik Phelps’s arrangement, Connie Champagne’s vocals, and Nina Paley’s animation make this a singable, clever lesson on copyright. Uplifting, funny, and shareable — sing along! #FreeCulture #Copyleft #CreativeCommons #Animation #Music #Education #NinaPaley #ConnieChampagne #NikPhelps #English

Copying Is Not Theft - Official Version

Next week, I'll give a short talk at @undonecs: Undone Computer Science 2026 conference.
This is a crossover event: activists, academics, & #FOSS enthusiasts explore issues CS researchers *should* be looking at, but are not.
My talk?: the unstudied question of so many Complete, Corresponding Source (CCS) candidates provided by companies— ostensibly to meet #copyleft license obligations don't, in fact, meet them — & no one has systematically examined them.

The second liberation: AI is the final frontier of Copyleft

Copyleft gave us the right to be free; AI gives us the power to be free. The scarcity of programming knowledge is evaporating, turning the "freedom to fork" from a legal theory into a functional reality for every user.

Sto lavorando alla pubblicazione sulla mia etichetta #SubTerra del doppio album del mio amico Daniele Mattioni, in arte #DM7. Si tratta di due bei dischi di #grunge - #folk psichedelico e spirituale, uno in inglese e uno in italiano, dal titolo rispettivamente di "Lunar Eclipse" ed "Eclissi Solare". Non vedo l'ora di pubblicarli sul nuovo sito della label, ovviamente sempre in regime di #copyleft . Mi piacerebbe molto trovare un nuovo pubblico qui nel Fediverso.
