Last Notes npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Today, the Klamath River is flowing freely for the first time in more than 100 years. The dams have been removed. The ecosystems are being nurtured. And sovereignty has been restored to the Shasta Indian Nation over another 2800 acres. Good things are happening. Great things are possible. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2024/aug/28/today-klamath-river-flowing-free-first-time-more-c/ #SolarPunk #LandBack #Klamath #Environment #California npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Glad to hear Mozilla has restored the anti-censorship Firefox add-ons that they took offline at the request of Roskomnadzor. But still weird that it happened. Every reputable org I know does one thing with requests from Roskonnadzor: ignores them. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons PS. If Matrix is good enough for the United Nations, the French civil service, the German healthcare system, and a ton of FOSS projects, it's probably good enough for your community or company, too. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM? Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers? Matrix. It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Matrix #Slack #OpenSource #FOSS #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons It has never been more important to include attribution or cite our sources. Not just the right thing to do, it also helps with information and media literacy at a time when convincing bullshit is easier than ever to produce. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Beware folks, there's an astroturfing campaign emerging on fedi that appears to be aimed at garnering support for the actions of the Israeli government. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Twice a year* COVID vaccine ✅ Glad to have another 3-4 months of robust protection against breakthrough infections! * If you're high risk (even 'just' asthma) in the US, you can get them up to once every 4 months. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons My neighbors probably erred when they chose to use a wisteria to create a privacy screen around their deck. (It doesn't provide coverage for much of the year, and it will destroy their deck...) But my goodness, for a few months a year, it makes the view out of our kitchen window even better 🤩 npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons It saddens me that another health issue within my family gives me cause to remind folks: COVID is a serious vascular disease. It just so happens that it's transmitted by our respiratory system. Please be safe and take care of each other. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Whoa! TIL just how widespread Matrix is at universities in Germany. This, on top of adoption by their national healthcare system and other corners of their public sector.

First outage I've ever noticed, which is a great track record for as long as I've been a user. All seems well now. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons A great read on how to do good, meaningful journalism following attacks on marginalized people. Including what not to do: https://jude-doyle.ghost.io/i-dont-care-about-your-brand/ TLDR: talk to the people most impacted, and people with relevant lived experience. Center those people. And for goodness sake do not center their oppressors. #Journalism #NexBenedict npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons "Nazi mingle openly at CPAC." That is a real headline from mainstream news here in the US. The Republican establishment isn't even trying to distance itself from violent extremists anymore. We can and should push Democrats to do better and live up to their promises, and come November, we need to remember that: - voting is harm reduction, and - voting is important but never enough. #USPol npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Dang. I've lost fescue to burrowing mammals before, but until now I didn't realize how much they can devastate even larger plants. Walking the garden in the sun this afternoon I noticed something had gotten to one of our mature geraniums. Chewed right through some thick branches 😬 I can only hope they didn't utterly destroy the roots 🤞🏻 #Gardening #SonomaCounty #SFBayArea npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Wading deeper into #Matrix now that I'm more comfortable with my self-hosted setup. Fun factlet: the Office of the Matrix.org Foundation room has ~211 users across ~117 different homeservers! I doubt that's representative across the whole open federation, but still I find it encouraging to see that level of decentralization. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons I am floored! There are more than 716 people who care enough about @npub1zxn…7s3u and the promise of open, decentralized, private, and interoperable communication that they're willing to put money on the line – on a recurring basis 👏🏻 Now it's time for institutional funders to step up 📣 If your organization uses Matrix, or cares about privacy, digital sovereignty, and openness, this is your call to action: https://matrix.org/blog/2024/01/2024-roadmap-and-fundraiser/ #Matrix #OpenSource #OpenStandards #Interoperability #Privacy #FOSDEM npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub1cy0…ggw4 I love what you publish and share, thank you! Could you please start adding alt text/image descriptions when your posts attach an image like this? There are a decent proportion of folks on fedi who only boost when there's alt text, in solidarity with people who need to use screen readers. I'd love to be able to share this post 🙏🏻 npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Let me be clear: FOSS needs and deserves our financial support. But this isn't really about money. It's about how fraught it is to build a commons and a community on the back of proprietary platforms which follow a predictable pattern: in which VC money is used to subsidize free or severely discounted services to disrupt a market and create a captive audience which they then squeeze. The incentives are simply not aligned for good outcomes. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons And when it comes to FOSS chat, there's also XMPP, IRC, Zulip, and Rocket Chat (which speaks Matrix, btw). There are a lot of options! Slack has been squeezing folks for years already, and notably continues to lack features critical for open communities (like, idk, being able to block someone). I wonder how long till Discord starts putting on the squeeze? Already the interface is chock full of self-promotion and upsells... npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg "For everything that we care about, we need to do the extra to own the data." 🎯 One hopes that in the future legislators will mandate interop and portability but until then... npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons TIL about another community on Slack who is now being asked to pay thousands to preserve basic functionality 😬 Proprietary tools that offer a lot for free, without fail, will squeeze you. And unfortunately, because of their nature, a lot gets left behind when you inevitably migrate. When we select tools for our communities, we need to think over longer time horizons. FOSS options like Matrix for chat and Discourse for forums are the better bet. #Community #DevRel #OpenSource #FOSS #Matrix npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons It's a good day when a meaningful project in your ecosystem relicenses *into* the open source commons. I'm excited about the developments we're going to see around Trust & Safety in Matrix this year. #Matrix #Draupnir #OpenSource #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons We haven't even launched the new @npub1zxn…7s3u fundraiser yet, and we've already had 23 new people join as Individual Members 🤩 Thanks to everyone who is chipping in! Your donations help us invest in the development of Trust & Safety tooling, making Matrix more accessible to newcomers, providing free infrastructure for FOSS communities, and operationalizing community governance. Bonus: Individual Members get to vote in our first ever elections 🗳 ➡️ https://matrix.org/membership/ #Matrix #OpenSource #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Going to pay my estimated taxes and I'm freshly annoyed that the IRS contracts with a private company, ID.me, when Login.gov exists and is quite good. I should not have to go through a private company in order perform my civic duty. #USPol #Privatization npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons A little unnerving to go to the dentist, where nobody is masking except the one hygienist and several people are talking about how many folks they know who are sick, amid the second biggest surge of the entire damn pandemic 😷 I count myself extremely lucky to have ready access to vaccines and antiviral nasal sprays. Fingers crossed they do the trick... 🤞🏻 #COVID #MaskUp npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons A couple weeks in to having my Matrix homeserver bridged to IRC, Discord, Slack, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and already it is having wonderful effects. I struggle mightily with monitoring all the walled gardens. Being able to communicate with folks all from one interface has meant participating in conversations I have been missing, and reconnecting with folks I haven't spoken with in a while. #Matrix #Interoperability #OpenSource #ProtocolsNotPlatforms npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Folks replying to me with dictionary definitions of political are missing the point and clearly have never had their rights voted on by fellow citizens. Instead of wasting your energy trying to play gotcha with minorities, maybe look at the issue itself. In my experience, anyone who describes human rights as "political" is someone who thinks they're debatable. Here we have the leadership of #Kagi blaming politics for stifling innovation in tech. Big "move fast and break things" energy. GTFO. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons I get #Kagi relying on sources that don't share my values. Nothing in our societal order is uncompromised. But calling gay rights political is a dog whistle that I hear loud and clear. There's no world in which I directly pay money into that kind of leadership. On to the next... npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Many individuals operate a Matrix and ActivityPub server for themselves (👋🏻), and every so often I stumble into whole communities that run both. Do you know of any communities that run both in parallel? It's an awesome pattern that I'd love to encourage. #Matrix #ActivityPub #Community #OpenSource #FOSS #Decentralization npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Reviewing the last few weeks of donations to @npub1zxn…7s3u and reading the comments that some folks left. A warm and fuzzy way to end my first working day of the year :blobcathearts: I've got a good feeling about the year ahead of us! #Matrix #OpenSource #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons My job is to work toward bringing secure, decentralized, open source licensed communication tools with open governance to the masses with Matrix. But if folks prefer XMPP or IRC, that's still a win in my book. I think Signal is a step in the right direction, too! It's open vs. the world, and I'm looking forward to working together to challenge the status quo of surveillance capitalism and proprietary, centralized walled gardens. #OpenSource #Matrix #ProtocolsNotPlatforms #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Been a #Matrix user since 2017, and a heavy user since 2022. Finally beginning to realize the full promise of it – and it is a thing of beauty 🤩 https://josh.tel/system/media_attachments/files/111/660/450/635/476/750/original/8d0b20d210483e1e.png npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons I'm very excited to announce the timeline for our first ever elections *and* two new membership tiers, for open source projects and foundations, to increase community representation 🚀 https://matrix.org/blog/2023/12/electing-our-first-governing-board/ #Matrix #FOSS #OpenSource #OpenStandards #OpenGovernance npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg *taps the sign* https://josh.tel/@josh/109354835893852172 Common wisdom among community organizers! Would that such a thing were better understood among electeds, city staff, and all our fellow travelers who engage in the civic process. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg I've been doing some similar unpacking around trauma and I gotta say there's a lot that I now attribute to cPTSD at least in my own case. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons I'm excited to see Beeper challenging Apple's anticompetitive practices around iMessage, and thrilled that people are noticing -- the level of mainstream press attention gives me more hope that we'll see change. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/12/imessage-android-beeper/ Also stoked about the Epic court win over Google and the Play Store. I feel good about the antitrust and antimonopoly currents in the US and EU. #Beeper #Apple #Antitrust npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub1j46…3gm7 Love the questions! AIUI pushing one's self physically or even mentally when COVID-driven inflammation is a going concern increases the risk of long term damage... and the inflammation can take more than a week to recede even after one begins testing negative. I recommend people talk to COVID-informed doctors, and my personal approach: Hell yes Paxlovid to speed clearance, metformin too if possible to address pulmonary inflammation, and way more rest than you think you need. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Even if you think I'm overly COVID cautious and disagree with much of what I say... please, please, at least for your own sake: If you get COVID, DO NOT PUSH THROUGH IT. Even after you start testing negative. Seriously, learn from people with ME/CFS. Pushing through is how you increase your already quite-high odds of having long lasting or permanent damage. #Covid #Disability npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg HUH. That I did not know, that would certainly explain some of the behavior I've noticed in the past 💡 Thank you! npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Sigh. Runaway disk usage on the machine I use to my host ActivityPub servers is coming to a head: despite my regular maintenance, each week there's another 1% of disk space I can't easily reclaim. I was hoping to put this project off for a few more weeks :blobcatnotlike: If anybody has hot tips about reclaiming disk space that relates to Ubuntu, Mastodon, BookWyrm, or Pixelfed, I'm all ears! #ActivityPub #SelfHosting #IndieWeb npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Very strange to find one of my burner accounts got pwnd in an unrecoverable fashion. Nothing of consequence, thankfully! A bit weird though, especially being able to tell exactly what model of mobile phone they are now using the account with. PSA: 2FA _all_ the things 😅 npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg If this is the one that Omar Figueroa is running in, I can confidently say he's already got my vote on account of the way he shows up in social justice work. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg Hey, I vaguely recall you saying you had an issue with some new autocomplete or autosuggest type thing on Mac OS X Sonoma – am I remembering right? Can you tell me more about that? Asking because I just experienced some weird and confusing behavior. I'd like to address it before it properly bites me 😅 npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Friendly reminder for anyone else who regularly has meetings across North America and Europe: Daylight Saving Time ends in Europe today, but doesn't end in North America until next week 👀 #DST #DaylightSavingTime #Timezones npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Glad to see @npub1zxn…7s3u getting some love in the press this week. 115M users and counting, including those from institutions like the UN and the Republic of France, and communities like Debian, GNOME, and OSI! https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/decentralized-matrix-messaging-network-says-it-now-has-115m-users/ #Matrix #ProtocolsNotPlatforms #Interoperability #OpenSource #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons That _one_ parent who keeps insisting we hold a high school reunion. There are a number of classmates I quite like and stay in touch with, but the last thing I want to do is volunteer my time to convene, or attend, an event that dredges up the many traumas I've spent the last 20 years recovering from. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg Sure looks like it'd be a nice place to live! Excited for this project. npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Whew. And that's a wrap on my second week as the publicly announced Managing Director of The Matrix.org Foundation. Gotta say, it's a great fit for my ADHD need for novelty – so many different things that need doing! :ablobcatneon: npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons Rather than rolling up all the many skills into "non-code," we need to unpack it. Think about who the audience is. Are we trying to attract designers? SAY SO! Are we trying to attract technical writers? SAY SO! As a community and nonprofit professional, you can be sure I won't feel welcome or valued if my skill sets get rolled up in a massive category defining me by what I am supposedly not. Open source community leaders in particular need to step it up here. #OpenSource npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons I've been raising issues with the phrases "non-code contributor" or "non-technical contributor" for at least a couple of years now. And yet to this day I continue to see people of good will giving presentations and writing blog posts using that framing. When will we learn that defining people by what they are not* is not a valid pathway to inclusion? (* caveat because "non-technical contributors" are absolutely technical. It's a BS phrase.) #OpenSource #FLOSS #FOSS npub14wzuzq4ev0ujxj74z7pchmfxvn2d7m9paf6vja2fux7w3tpj9nqq5496mu Josh Simmons @npub10fm…x0qg Interaction modes without affordances suck.

It's not too windy today so they'll get it under control.
