In the mean time, the FSF made a clear statement on the Onlyoffice – EuroOffice case: https://u.fsf.org/4b2

Indeed, one can not add arbitrary terms to the (A)GPL and claim that ones software is under that license. If an added term represents a "further restriction", anyone is allowed to remove that restriction.

(A)GPL licenses are made to preserve software freedom, not for actors to use them for open washing, claiming to be open yource while trying to take a way freedoms from users at the same time.

W Social uncovered: the reality behind the hype

An article dispelling myths about W Social, the new European platform that aims to rival X: it is a fork of Bluesky that shares many similarities with Eurosky and requires government ID to sign up.

A fluff view of current tech we need to compost

You know, when people are heading over a cliff, I'm more than happy to be "left behind". This story is #openwashing, not innovation. “New European social network” is actually a fork of #Bluesky wrapped in sovereignty language, as Elena Rossini says with the same #dotcons logic - PR-first launch (Davos), reality comes later (or never). This tech mess illustrates, if people start with branding, funding, and media narrative instead of community and process, it’s not #openweb - it’s […]

Damn Israel and damn the war a thousand times! All the aid that entered was cigarettes 🚬, and hospitals and clinics lack medicine and disinfectants, as well as basic food supplies. If it had entered, prices would have decreased. 😡😡😡😡😡
This is their policy of genocide in all its forms; a state of evil and terrorism.

Hablemos un poco del «Open Washing», la práctica de publicar tecnología, software o IA como si fuera de código abierto o software libre cuando realmente no lo es. Redis, Terraform,
ElasticSearch o Android son algunos ejemplos de esto. Sabrán disculpar la calidad del audio, se me rompió el 🎙️ cuando empecé a grabar este episodio.

Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?

Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.

You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:
