On the topic of joining a #union and the collective bargaining port we as workers should work towards at #OggCamp2024, I'd also recommend discussing your salary with your colleagues!
It doesn't have to be as public as my /salary page, but it's hugely useful to do and helps work out inequity
Open source is proof free markets are so efficient they can even find a use for communists.

Really enjoyed #oggcamp2024. It's great that a conference based entirely around Open Source software and Freedom exists. Open source may have a reputation of being just for nerds, but it's about *so much more* than just tinkering with code. You don't need to be a coder to benefit. When things are open source any bad behaviour (i.e. tracking, telemetry, privacy violations) hiding in our software has nowhere to hide. This becomes more important as we become increasingly reliant on our devices.

Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal". Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was. And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment. How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage. Hence AIsbestos.

With the new Fellowship program, we are investing directly in the people behind the code by paying maintainers of important open source components for their work. Applications are accepted until October 20th. Find more insights about the maintainer survey on our website.

In this open source story, VM talks about motivations behind FOSS, how they have shifted, and how those who work in free and open source software can help recenter principles of openness.

Given another opportunity to answer correctly by the interviewer, “You know this is a very bad response to this question, right? You’re aware that you’ve blundered into this. You should just say no. And I’m wondering what’s keeping you from just saying no," He declined. So, fuck him. And fuck his site.
