The printer cartridge monopoly is over ... thanks to the Supreme Court ruling. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/05/supreme-court-victory-right-tinker-printer-cartridge-caseMichael, clacke@libranet.de ❌ likes this.

I'm particularly impressed with this phrasing, dunno how much of it is EFF and how much is straight from the ruling:
The Court emphasized that, by default, people have every right to make, sell, and use things. The limited monopoly that the government bestows upon a patent owner is a deviation from the norm of free market competition and ownership of personal property, and is subject to important limits in order to protect the public interest.

Seeking Collaborators for We Distribute
When I started @We Distribute , I did so in the hopes of covering all of the exciting development going on in the federated / distributed communication space. I somewhat envisioned the channel to serve as a topical analogue to the likes of OMG! Ubuntu or WebUpd8.
Coverage has always been somewhat spotty, due to my own personal time constraints, as well as the fact that I am sometimes behind on covering announcements from various projects. While I hope to once again get back in the saddle soon, I'd like to take the opportunity to reach out to my contacts within the space.
In #Hubzilla, it is possible for multiple people to administrate a channel. This includes collaboration on the integrated wiki (found here, in its sparse form) as well as post creation and scheduling. From there, We Distribute federates to Diaspora and Friendica, and cross-posts to Pump.io, Libertree, and GNU Social.
In short, I am looking for volunteers who would like to write updates for their projects of interest (#Diaspora, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Pump, #Libertree, or anything else), and help coordinate on putting together regular updates for the rest of the federated web to read. We Distribute is something of a meta-syndication, in the fact that it is leveraging the federated web to report on the state of the federated web.

This is why I start twitching whenever I begin to look at some nodejs projects.A moment of nostalgia…

I wish the tech level at work made it even to just using JQuery...

sure jquery might be nice but since when was any of that needed to use javascript?
the trouble is that nearly everything anyone does for nodejs these days seems to require npm which refuses to install on some platforms (such as android) and then also a crazy number of dependencies (making it rather dfficult to install if there's no npm to do it for you)

so far haven't tried any of them (most are centralised and not so interested in anything centralised) Bria looks interesting but the Androidsdk is just too massive an install to compile it and I don't know enough about the java ecosystem to find another way so will probably have to wait till its released
btw wasn't there some kind of softphone desktip app wth a similar name years ago .. related?
The last four are "Independent from central servers" so I guess those would qualify as non-centralised.
I think Ring is a kind of softphone app. Seems to support desktop GNU/Linux as well.

50% of physics analysis software is fixing bugs a student made; 50% is fixing bugs you made thinking you were cleverer than your student.
