Another important take-away from my meetings already: calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.

E-mailing MEPs with a standard e-mail from a template can actually be counter-productive.

If you can, please *call* your MEPs. You can find your MEP here:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html

If you'd rather e-mail, please write two-three paragraphs in your own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

“We in Silicon Valley like to watch the ants dig harder into their dirt. They send us money as we watch.”

-- from Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, by Jaron Lanier, page 91

(Here, the ants are us. The dirt is social media. Lanier’s point is that the algorithms of social networking spaces are designed to amplify the negative, so that we become more angry and engaged. Engaged means profit.)

It's okay if you didn't get it all done today.

@kemonine @brainblasted Going to respond to this in public: We're still on the Discord, because it's what works right now, and we're not actually done with the meeting yet, as you can read per my pinned post.

there is also a new "info" channel via @forktogether where you will be seeing future updates about the project.

There's still room to bridge to a Matrix, and I would talk with @clar about that (iirc)

On top of that, we will make a roadmap for getting on as much open-source as we can

Possibly the most symmetrical sentence ever constructed: "Sator Arepo tenet opera rotas", which in Latin means "The sower Arepo holds the wheels with effort."

It's easier to see why it's symmetrical if it's written in a square:

S A T O R
A R E P O
T E N E T
O P E R A
R O T A S

I had some fun this morning, trying to implement a better (as in more powerful) search system for #Funkwhale.

I really like Github's search in term of user experience, flexibility and simplicity, so I reimplemented that in Funkwhale, on the federated track list, as it is quite difficult to browse right now.

I'm really happy with the end result, let me know what you think about it!

If you're supporting someone through donations and they're having a hard time, consider adding an extra $1 to your donation. It can help more than you think. In crapitalism, money is he fuel to living, so giving a little extra to someone who's struggling helps a lot. Do it.

I compose sacred and secular choral music, and put it online under a CC by-SA license so choirs can sing it for free!

Publishers won't touch my work because I won't let them prohibit photocopying, so I need support from people like you.

My Patreon is http://www.patreon.com/artsyhonker

I have other options for people who prefer them:

Thank you so much!

@luka uau, this really looks amazing

“Words are partly thoughts, but mostly, they’re music, deep down. Thinking itself is, perhaps, orchestral, the mind conducting the world. Conducting it, constructing it.”

It's been said that there are 3 types of people:

Those that see the glass as half full.

Those that see the glass as half empty.

Those that realize the first 2 are missing the point, the glass is refillable.

by the way there apparently is an influx of new users to mastodon.art? welcome, fediverse art community richer with you and every new creative who joins. (whether you are specifically on this node or elsewhere)
