Das »Konvivialistische Manifest« (2014 auf Deutsch erschienen) hat die globale Debatte um die Frage neu formatiert, wie wir das Zusammenleben angesichts von Klimakatastrophe und Finanzkrisen gestalten wollen und müssen. Die Beiträge des Bandes »Konvivialismus. Eine Debatte« (Hg. Frank Adloff und Volker M. Heins, erschienen im Transcript-Verlag) eröffnen nun die Diskussion um die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Manifests im deutschsprachigen Raum: Wo liegen seine Stärken, wo die Schwächen? Was hieße es, eine konviviale Gesellschaft anzustreben – in Politik, Kultur, Zivilgesellschaft und Wirtschaft? Welche neuen Formen des Zusammenlebens sind wünschenswert und welche Chancen bestehen, sie durchzusetzen? Acht Mitglieder des Commons-Instituts haben einen Kommentar-Beitrag zu dem Diskussionsband geschrieben

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom. We defend the rights of all software users.
As our society grows more dependent on computers, the software we run is of critical importance to securing the future of a free society. Free software is about having control over the technology we use in our homes, schools and businesses, where computers work for our individual and communal benefit, not for proprietary software companies or governments who might seek to restrict and monitor us. The Free Software Foundation exclusively uses free software to perform its work.

GNU ist ein Betriebssystem, das Freie Software ist ‑ d. h. es respektiert die Freiheit der Nutzer. Das GNU-Betriebssystem besteht aus GNU-Paketen (Programme, die speziell vom GNU-Projekt freigegeben wurden) sowie von Dritten freigegebene Freie Software. Die Entwicklung von GNU ermöglichte es einen Rechner ohne Software benutzen zu können, die Ihre Freiheit mit Füßen treten würde.

Die Haupt-Commons-Formel lautet:
∑[aD+nW] = bL

aD = anderes DENKEN
nW = neues WIRTSCHAFTEN
bL = besseres LEBEN

Das Handeln nach Commons-Prinzipien ermöglicht eine Gesellschaft ohne soziale Widersprüche oder ökonomische Krisen. Commons ersetzen die alten Strukturen. Sie bilden sich selbst organisierende Netzwerke aus, geeignet für Innovationen, da sie die kollektive Intelligenz für das Wohlergehen Aller nutzen.

Our digital future depends on our ability to access, use, and build on technology. A few media or political interests shouldn’t have unfair technological or legal advantages over the rest of us. Unfortunately, litigious copyright and patent owners can abuse the law to inhibit fair use and stifle competition. Internet service providers can give established content companies an advantage over startups and veto the choices you make in how to use the Internet. The Electronic Frontier Foundation fights against these unfair practices and defends digital creators, inventors, and ordinary technology users. We work to protect and strengthen fair use, innovation, open access, net neutrality, and your freedom to tinker.

In principle, intellectual property laws (or IP law, a catchall term for copyright, patents, and trademarks) should serve the public in a number of ways. Copyrights provide economic incentives for authors and artists to create and distribute new expressive works. Patents reward inventors for sharing new inventions with the public, granting them a temporary and limited monopoly on them in return for contributing to the public body of knowledge. Trademarks help protect customers by encouraging companies to make sure products match the quality standards the public expects.

FSF statement on Microsoft joining the Open Invention Network — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software
▻https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-statement-on-microsoft-joining-the-open-invention-network

Microsoft’s announcements on October 4th and 10th, that it has joined both LOT and the Open Invention Network (OIN), are significant steps in the right direction, potentially providing respite from Microsoft’s well-known extortion of billions of dollars from free software redistributors.

These steps, though, do not by themselves fully address the problem of computational idea patents, or even Microsoft’s specific infringement claims.

The #apple is still rotten: Why you should avoid the new iPhone — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software

Today Apple announced the arrival of several new iPhone models and other updated gadgets. As usual, the phones were revealed with great fanfare — but from the glass exterior down to its guts, the new iPhone is just another freedom-restricting trap for unsuspecting users. — Permalink

Cyberattacks in 12 Nations Said to Use Leaked N.S.A. Hacking Tool - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/world/europe/uk-national-health-service-cyberattack.html

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/05/13/world/13Hack3/13Hack3-facebookJumbo.jpg

An extensive cyberattack struck computers across a wide swath of Europe and Asia on Friday, and strained the public health system in Britain, where doctors were blocked from patient files and emergency rooms were forced to divert patients.

The attack involved ransomware, a kind of malware that encrypts data and locks out the user. According to security experts, it exploited a vulnerability that was discovered and developed by the National Security Agency.

The hacking tool was leaked by a group calling itself the Shadow Brokers, which has been dumping stolen N.S.A. hacking tools online beginning last year. Microsoft rolled out a patch for the vulnerability last March, but hackers took advantage of the fact that vulnerable targets — particularly hospitals — had yet to update their systems.

The attack on the National Health Service seemed perhaps the most audacious of the attacks, because it had life-or-death implications for hospitals and ambulance services.

On social media, several images circulated showing computer screens bearing a message that the user could not enter without first paying a $300 ransom in Bitcoin. Many doctors reported that they could not retrieve their patients’ files.

Unicode Font Guide For Free/Libre Open Source Operating Systems
▻http://www.unifont.org/fontguide

http://www.unifont.org/fontguide/images/GNUUnifont.png

This is a selective guide to Unicode-based fonts and script projects that are ideal for free/libre/open source (FLOSS) operating systems like GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. As a general policy, I include here only fonts that:

Contain Unicode CMAPs for mapping Unicode values to glyphs.
Can be downloaded and used legally for free.

Preference is given to high-quality vector fonts that have been released under SIL International’s Open Font License (OFL), the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License (GPL), and similarly open licenses. I also include other important Unicode fonts, including a few notable shareware fonts where the authors request payment of a fee after an initial free evaluation. Although this document focuses on vector fonts that work well on free operating systems, these fonts will also work well on Unicode-capable Windows operating systems (Windows 2000 and XP) and on Apple OSX.

I ♥ Free Software: Mutt
▻http://hroy.eu/posts/ilovefs-mutt

http://hroy.eu/./posts/ilovefs-mutt/zack-mutterware-notmuch.png

Today is Valentine’s day, a day to celebrate love. But at the Free Software Foundation Europe, we like to challenge traditions. So we thought: why not also celebrate Free Software on this day? Because what makes Free Software so great is the people who make it, it’s the community!

And what better personal example than my use of the mutt email agent to explain why this community is truly important?

I’ve always been a bit curious about mutt. Mutt is a program that lives in your terminal, and basically all it does is show an index of emails in mailboxes, then lets you view these emails. In the pure UNIX tradition, the rest is left to other tools. So every tool has its focus on what it’s good at; and everything is glued together with open formats and protocoles.

The reason why I’ve been (...)

Queering code • Decolonizing media • Hacking identity

Kẏra wants to raise critical consciousness. Lets collaborate.

Kẏra serves on the board of directors of the Free Culture Foundation and works as a campaigns organizer for the Free Software Foundation. They recently founded the Empowermentors Collective, a skillshare, activism, and discussion network for intersectionally marginalized people of color. Through a critical analysis of oppression, hierarchy, and domination, they view the harm of private ownership over software and media as it
concentrates control over technology and telecommunications. They see radical potential in free software (often marketed as “open source software”) and free culture to work against ableism, racism, cissexism, heterosexism, sexism, and classism. Through collaboration and coalition building, they are hoping to help realize that potential. Kẏra is also an undergraduate student at Hampshire College.
