Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

Hi @julian @fedify,
#complexity benefits the big players. That's huge harm to diverse #federation. Challenge it, refuse it, stop it.

Maybe someone who knows more about #federation might be able to help me here: So my single-user #Pixelfed instance is sitting on a 20GB PSQL database after just one year. Is there any way to make this more viable in the long term, like getting rid of old post info I got like 1 year ago from other servers? Or any other way to improve the storage efficiency here? It just feels weird that the database is using up more storage at this point then the image files saved on this instance…
