There's this odd assumption that if someone challenges you to a debate and you decline, you're acknowledging defeat.

This has always seemed strange to me (not that it stops me from assuming it's truth until I think more carefully), but now I wonder how universal that assumption really is. If this is the "what are you, chicken?" of the world of ideas, are there cultures that sidestep it?

Dites les amis, vous auriez des recommendations de chaînes peertube à suivre ? Ce serait cool de faire connaitre des contenus originaux peertube vue que le projet est vraiment en train d'avancer.

So I was browsing the internet when I saw this

@Mainebot that's not a real animal. It can't be. Nothing this silly could actually exist

Hey Mastodon, J'aimerais lancer un club de lecture en ligne pour parler de technologie. L'idée c'est de trouver des textes sur des questions politiques autour des technologies (livres, articles etc.) et de se retrouver en ligne une fois par mois pour discuter d'un texte qu'on a lu. Qui est-ce que ca intéresse ? 🙂

Ok, fediverse, hear me out! The Free & Open Source Software community is in desperate need of a more steady income stream for our devs. The best devs will keep spending most of their time on what feeds their family, and if that's not FOSS, then not FOSS will keep leaving FOSS furhter and further behind.

I have an idea: An app where you set a monthly sum and it automatically tracks how much you use different FOSS apps, takes the money from your bank, divides it, and sends it to the devs.

WDYT?

There are already apps that tracks your app use, just for your own statistics, so this should be feasible. And all should happen locally with full transparency, obviously.

This could also be a browser extension that locally tracks what FOSS webapps you use and divide the sum you've set each month/week to those devs. And/or maybe it should track wich Github/Lab projects you spend the most time on?

Think of it like a fully automated Flattr for boosting FOSS development, if you like.

@Hackorn @ffeth @Arnaud_Minable @magikarp c'est surtout que ça montre un manque de cohérence et de vision. Changer d'outil tous les 4 matins, ça use. #soutine

SF writer brain has been noodling this. Here's my bogus prediction.

-No deal Brexit.
-Mayhem in the UK.
-A few years from now, England asks to return to the EU.
-They're allowed, but not with any of the special privileges the UK currently enjoys
-Brexiteers take the credit for bringing England back into the EU
