Today's screams brought to you by Omnivore (open source) giving its entire hosted userbase two weeks to get their data out before they exuberantly drown themselves in the service of an Andreessen Horowitz-funded AI voice company co-founded by a Palantir person.

(The two weeks' notice went to my spam folder, so I'm grateful someone mentioned it here and I happened to see it.)

@kissane I LOVE the idea of PSFC-style collective volunteering except applied to time-based knowledge work to support a platform. Not the open source contributor. Not the volunteer knowledge expert in a forum. Actual on-the-clock work. 2h 45m shifts for:
- customer support
- editing
- documentation
- testing
- monitoring
- etc

What is the coveted “cheese cutter” shift? The morning cleaning crew that no one wants but gives 2x the credits? Child care?

@everyplace Right??

When I was tiny, my mom would take me with her to our rural food co-op for her shifts, and my strongest memory is that she couldn't figure out how to cut up this massive slab of unsweetened baking chocolate, so she finally just hoisted it up and smashed it on the marble counter, and shrapnel just went *everywhere*.

So then she bagged up the shards and moved on and I'm sure everyone around her was horrified but also it worked! And I've been sold on co-ops ever since.
