✨ Inspiring read/listen by Audrey Tang @au on 'Software Freedom as Civic Care' and why it's not about licensing, or perfect systems, or being correct on the internet, but rather "whether the person who comes after you can still find the bug" - the lines between repair, complementary tools, AI in the human loop (not the other way around), leaving rollback paths, and room for refusal.

Highly recommended - opens so many new lines of thinking across FOSS x AI issues currently on focus with many of the communities I care about, including Wikimedia and this event in LDN: https://ai-bridges.org/2026/02/13/symposium/

With the concept of #OpenHelpHub we can help remove one of the key barriers that currently prevents organisations from choosing autonomous solutions: the fear that support is insufficient.

By joining forces, we can explore how to build excellent support... both technically and organisationally... that can be reused, improved collectively, and built upon by others.

This includes support in multiple languages, at different levels of complexity, media, customisation, terminology, and context.

We beginnen bijna. Het is een prachtige ruimte waar we vandaag aanwezig zijn. Gelukkig is het binnen nog prima te doen qua temperatuur.

Gezamenlijk van X af! DetoX met onze vrienden van @degoedezaak

In het kader van #MakeSocialsSocialAgain en de inauguratie van Donald Trump roepen we (once again) iedereen op X te verlaten.

"Onder Musk is X verworden tot een platform voor desinformatie, haat, discriminatie en politieke beïnvloeding. Als hoofd van Trump's 'Department of Government Efficiency' krijgt hij nog meer macht over Amerikaanse overheidsinstellingen."
