On the heels of @demo_festDEMO FEST 2025 we are announcing another project:

January 2026 is Fediverse Punk Month!!

We encourage all hardcore punk underground DIY adherents to try spending January on the Fediverse with us. If you've been dabbling, try doubling-down. If you are already confident here, then spread the word and bring your friends. Let's get some collective momentum going!

allpunkspleaseleavemeta.com has the pitch, info, and physical and digital flyers to share.

Sharing this around the Fediverse is great, but we really hope you will share this with people off the Fediverse! Post on other social media, and/or print out the physical flyers and distribute to local punks.

Fediverse Punk Month

Hey punk! Fuck corporate social media. Spend January on the Fediverse: alternative, decentralized, open, not-for-profit DIY social media. A selection of colourful small pamphlets for Fediverse Punk Month

I wonder what the situation is with apps for these days. At one point, the official app was very bare bones, and folks recommended using or for better access to the full Mastodon experience. Is it the same still?

I have been using Moshidon for a while now, and I used to run Tusky. Having checked the last update, Moshidon got updated last summer, the official app a few days ago, and Tusky in September.

And by allegory with Gresham's law, over a sufficient time period and in absence of a significant counterveiling force, all org leadership becomes bad. If you're a leader who only cares about personal power and wealth, you have an advantage over anyone who is getting to balance avarice with the good of the organization, let alone the good of society. So folks with that mindset will eventually run the majority of organizations, until and unless their avarice kills the company.

If you are an adult, do you feel (in your heart of hearts) that you are a functional adult (whatever your own personal interpretation of that is)

ETA found the calendar, the website however keeps forcibly changing my address so I can't actually buy it! Yes starting my Saturday with inshitification. One of my chores for today is to find a braille calendar for 2026. I've been buying the Peanuts ones from National Braille Press but they don't have markings for full/new/quarter moons. I remember there was a company who made a calendar with those dates marked each month with a tactile symbol and I'd I'll like to buy that calendar. Now I just need to remember who makes them. If anyone knows I'd be grateful. I will probably do some googling once I exercise. ... thats after I drink this iced pumpkin spiced latte.

Our beloved, irreplaceable daughter Annie should’ve been celebrating her 30th birthday this week. Instead, we’re left marking that milestone without her -- remembering all that she was and grieving all that should have been. Annie died by suicide last year, after being fired by MongoDB while she was on disability leave. Yesterday, we filed a legal complaint against MongoDB, seeking accountability for Annie’s wrongful termination and wrongful death. The complaint alleges as follows: Annie was on leave receiving intensive mental health treatment when MongoDB demanded her immediate return to work. She asked for an extension to complete her treatment, or at the least a short period to consult with her medical providers about whether and how she might be able to return to work before the treatment was completed. Instead, MongoDB terminated her health insurance and then fired her in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the New York State and City Human Rights Laws. Shortly afterward, Annie took her own life. An extension of Annie’s leave would have cost MongoDB nothing. We made it clear that they did not need to pay her or hold her job open for her. We just asked them not to fire her while she was in such a vulnerable state, as we feared that would result in tragedy. We just wanted a little more time to get her stabilized. We understand MongoDB may have told some of Annie’s colleagues that she quit. That is not true. MongoDB fired her. We’re pursuing this case to set the record straight and to help ensure that powerful companies like MongoDB do not continue to violate the rights of their employees. | 264 comments on LinkedIn

FFmpeg project issued a DMCA takedown of a Rockhhip Linux repo, after 2 years of violation. They are defending opensource code as per LGPL-2.1-or-later and GPL-2.0-or-later etc.

Repo github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp

More on xcancel.com/FFmpeg/status/2004

Rockchip copied lots of code from ffmpeg to its mpp video acceleration lib and applied another license over the code. They refused to give credit and remove that code etc. That is the gist of it.

Github - rockchip-linux/mpp (Public) repo. The text reads:

Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown.
This repository is currently disabled due to a DMCA takedown notice. We have disabled public access to the repository. The notice has been publicly posted.

If you are the repository owner, and you believe that your repository was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you have the right to file a counter notice and have the repository reinstated. Our help articles provide more details on our DMCA takedown policy and how to file a counter notice.
