The Open Social Web’s kryptonite is the liability participants can face as intermediaries. Laws aiming to change Section 230 put decentralized projects in a uniquely precarious position. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/open-social-web-needs-section-230-survive #fediverse #opensource #section230

The Open Social Web Needs Section 230 to Survive

If you want to overthrow Big Tech, you’ll need Section 230. The paradigm shift being built with the Open Social Web can put communities back in control of social media infrastructure, and finally end our dependency on enshitified corporate giants. But while these incumbents can overcome...

I'm honoured to have been elected to the Board of Directors of @fdroidorg , the most well-known #opensource alternative to Google's Play Store. fdroid

Imagine Microsoft deciding from now on what you can install on your laptop. No internet, you can only download things through the MS app store. Apps that MS has approved. Who wouldn't find that suffocating? Yet that is what Google wants to do on our Android phones (and what Apple already has - a closed ecosystem).

On Lisp, LLMs, and Community

In 2015 in London I attended my first European Lisp Symposium. I was 21 at the time, and while this wasn't my first time abroad on my own, it was still a pretty stressful affair. I remember it still pretty clearly to that day: meeting Robert Strandh, Zach Beane, Didier Verna, Daniel Kochmański and many other people I'd previously admired from afar through many discussions on IRC. It was an important event for me, and was the first time I'd felt like I was in a group of people I could talk with about my interests and ambitions.

I love how the #FSF unerringly comes out in support against anyone trying to reduce the harm software is used for and maybe not hand it to murderers.

"It's only free if you don't try to stop anyone else from using it to kill people via the license terms" is the most US take *ever*.

(Not that OSI is different.)

That's how you end up with #Palantir as a major FOSS sponsor, I guess.
