I'm very pro Free & Open Source Software (FOSS), so after reading this post @valued-customer/open-source-software-institutions-are-being-captured-by-the-un-just-like-crypto-is-by-banks by valued-customer@valued-customer, rather than watch the video i went to a written report to find out more: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/open-source-orgs-pledge-fealty-to

" ... we now know, with a high level of certainty, that many of the significant Open Source organizations and Foundations now serve three masters:

The Corporations

The Political Activists

The United Nations

I don’t know about you, but I sure wouldn’t want to have those three masters."

I highly in-courage reading the article to find out which Open Source Organisations are joining the co-opting of real Open Source Software, which will likely be added to the arsenal of violence creating centralized software which controls the people. You can then choose your masters armed with more knowledge.

I think this matter is particularly important for Open Source #Devs to be aware of. If you are an open source developer, you probably want the tools you use to deploy your platform to also be open source and deventralised so you platform cannot be corrupted. An example is hosting your code on github or gitlab. Both of these are associated with this UN organisation which is attempting to change the definition of Open Source Software.

Did you know this about Microsoft?

ecency@ecency peakd@peakd meno@meno, fyi as you are all hosting code on github. forgejo.io might be a good option, but DYOR (and please let me know your thoughts).

On another page there are some charts comparing forgejo with other forges, eg. gitea & github. Here is one of the charts:

And there is also Radicle


Again, DYOR
