In March, a small #nonprofit in #BritishColumbia cut 10 cheques worth approximately $5,500 each & hand delivered them to as many #FirstNations on southern #VancouverIsland. The money, collected in the second half of 2023, is the first annual installment of #voluntary#rents paid by residents & business owners who live & work on the First Nations’ homelands.
Tien is head of policy & legal affairs at the #Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and director of the Institute for #Workers & Trade #Unions, the group said.
We're working on something with our friends at #CryptoHarlem.
You might know of hackathons as events where teams can build new and inventive features outside of their official roadmap.
This hackathon is different. We're hosting an event for #hackers, researchers, and bug hunters to test the security of Hush Line, our new free and open-source whistleblowing platform.
📢 I have decided to make the core operation of Team Topologies non-profit. TT authors Manuel Pais and I are committed to the core mission : "...to make work more humane and more effective for everyone ..." and means I will not be able to profit personally from core TT activities. 💵🚫
More details over the coming weeks as changes happen...
I think this is a good thing. Either they are a non-profit in Germany or in the U.S., but their mission stays the same.
People like to make a big fucking deal out of nothing. The new board of directors includes Biz Stone, of Twitter-fame. Just because he’s on the board doesn’t mean that the open source, FEDERATED, project is going to got to shit.
I think people just like to complain. The good thing about the Fediverse is exactly that… federation. You’re NOT stuck on one instance or even one flavor of service to stay in touch with people.
If Mastodon does go to shit, guess what? Check out the other Fediverse projects. Hell, start a WordPress blog and connect it to the fediverse.
I get why people are nervous, but is it necessary? Maybe? I don’t see it though.
We'll be at the Town Square by City Hall today from 10-2 with a great mix of farmers, crafters, processors, and concessionaires — as well as WWU's Education for Inclusive Environments program.

New study: "Self-published societies have achieved sustained growth in their revenues from publishing while societies with publishing partners have seen a significant decline. For…societies with the means & the will to publish journals in their own right, this study provides compelling evidence for retaining, or even reclaiming, their independence." https://zenodo.org/records/10933141
Sharing what's going on with actual #fediverse#censorship happening over on #threads. Zuck has beef with a small #nonprofit newsroom calling out #meta#facebook ethics and they've decided to try wiping it off the internet. Tell all your friends to bring their receipts to #mastodon before they're gone too
