@bestest @miiakosonen @magdalenahai @menneisyytesi @lari @tarmot Ehdotin pari vuotta sitten työpaikalla oman instanssin luomista. Kaikki menivät vain hiljaiseksi ja siihen ei kukaan palannut.
@mikko Hesarissa on näitä kummallisia lifestyle-juttuja, joilla ei ole mitään tekemistä normaalin elämän kanssa. En tiedä mitä niillä tavoitellaan, koska kaikki kyllä hiffaavat että ei tällaista voi olla kestävästi.

Today Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new, European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control. #MastodonNonProfit

The people should own the town square

It is more important than ever that the social web is not controlled by corporations. Today, Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control.

Nyt kun 300 esseetä on arvioitu, vielä on 70 tutkimussuunnitelmaa luettavana. Näitä voi tehdä pienissä pätkissä sen verran kuin pää antaa myöten. Pätkien välissä selaan nettiä.
This is a monumental day for the future of the social web, though it might not be obvious for a while. Mastodon matures its governance model with a great, solid non-profit https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/ and a coalition of independents push to open up Bluesky's AT Protocol: https://freeourfeeds.com/ These two moves together put the most credible players on solid ground for years to come — and set up the open platforms to enable lots of innovation just when it's needed most.

#esittely Olen ollut Mastodonissa vuosia, mutta en ole ollut aktiivinen. Kun Facebook tekee kuolemaa ja X on jo kuollut, täytyy aktivoitua. Olen kokenut ohjelmistoprofessori LUT-yliopistossa (https://karismolander.net/) ja tutkin erityisesti tietojärjestelmien rakentamista. Olen aina soittanut rokkia ja tehnyt 7 albumia. Nuorisopalatsissa (https://nuorisopalatsi.net/) soitan kitaraa, laulan ja teen biisejä. Harrastan myös valokuvausta, erityisesti filmillä (https://www.flickr.com/photos/smoltron/).

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
