Possibly of interest to some folks here:

> Weeklybeats is a 52 week long music project in which artists compose and publicly release 1 song a week for the entire year. Starting December 29th 2025 GMT each participant will have one week to upload one finished composition. Any style of music or selection of instruments are welcomed and encouraged.

It's a great way to get your creative juices flowing, and to chat with other music creators!

The upcoming edition of Art Meets Radical Openness is titled โ€œBecoming Unreadable.โ€ It explore ways of #resisting the toxic dimensions of contemporary hypervisibility. By this, we refer to the current logic of platform-mediated social and political discourse, to the global-scale #extraction and appropriation #infrastructures feeding the #AI and strengthening new and old colonial threads.

The call for participation is open

AMRO26
Becoming Unreadable
13thโ€“16th May 2026, Linz (AT)

AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, explores approaches that offer real change: low-tech, feminist and community IT, computing within limits, up to even more radical ideas around de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves.

in reply to servus.at

"Becoming Unreadable" involves evading surveillance by oligarchic tech corporations, operate under the radar, and refuse to comply to the total AI cloud.

Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans.

Art Meets Radical Openness wants to be a space dedicated to that.

I think itโ€™s great that there even exist Linux phones, free and open source. Would be even better if we could 3d print the phones or replace the hardware, personally I use IPhone as the Linux phones are too expensiveโ€ฆ

ยซ9. More European countries will switch to Linux and/or open sourceยป

I wish. But as a future civil servant, I'm afraid that I'll be stuck with Windows and Microsoft Office until my retirement. Or at least with Windows, even if I'm allowed to use LibreOffice.

This year a lot of my holiday music was feeling enjoyable, but I was missing one song that wasn't on any of my CDs--Driving Home for Christmas. So, I find it on YouTube and have it in high rotation this year. It seems that Chris Rea, the writer of this song, was in fact driving home for Christmas 2025. Vale Chris.

Kinda disappointed in this @nextcloud

I do understand that many of these lists come packaged via libraries, but it really makes it hard for me to justify continuing to use Nextcloud

Not sure internally, but they just updated the dropdown during account creation to just say โ€œTaiwanโ€

Hi all! We are using the external map provider, and we didn't have much control over it, unfortunately.

@nextcloud great that you're encouraging sharing release notes on #mastodon but you can't just include a link to mastodon.social! You'll need to popup a prompt() to ask for the instance, or use a tool like mastodonshare.com/ (not vouching for this, just an example).



A worthwhile reminder:

1. An absence of new releases (or even of development activity) in a software project does not in and of itself tell us anything (bad) about a project. (Common fallacy: People rushing to declare a project "dead" based on arbitrary personal expectations around commit frequency, PR turnover time and such, when they in fact don't know a thing about the project's internal processes, goals, etc.)

2. Abundant releases (or frantic development activity) in a software project does not in and of itself tell you anything (good) about a project. (Common fallacy: newer = better, more = better, bigger = better, recent = better, "better" (according to them) = better (for me))

I know this may sound a little obvious and trite, but looking at the kind of culture all around, I think it's a good idea to regularly let that sink in (I'm writing this for myself as much as for anyone reading this ๐Ÿ˜€).
