I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.

Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.

To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.

Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.

Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.

To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -

I announce events on free platforms sooner
I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.

So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask…

How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?

What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?

They don’t like answering these questions, but I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them all the same.

Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.

People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

Times of India | From 35 rejections and ₹20K salary to ₹27 LPA: Techie’s career journey sparks discussion online AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In a recent social‑media post that went viral, a software developer who graduated from a Tier‑3 college in Pune in 2020 recounts a tumultuous five‑year journey that began with 30‑35 interview rejections and a modest first salary of ₹20 K, but eventually led to a ₹27 LPA offer. After finally securing a 3.8 LPA role at CapG—delayed by COVID‑19—and gaining hands‑on product experience at a friend’s startup for ₹45 K per month, the techie persisted through further rejections for 12‑13 LPA positions, refined their skills, and landed three 15 LPA offers before being directly approached by a founder on LinkedIn, culminating in the top‑tier ₹27 LPA package. The developer closes with a motivational message urging peers to keep improving and believing in themselves despite setbacks, a sentiment echoed by many readers who related to the struggles faced by graduates from non‑premier institutions.

Irish Independent : Independent | LinkedIn planning to cut 5pc of staff as tech industry layoffs continue AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. LinkedIn, the Microsoft‑owned professional networking site that employs over 2,000 people in Ireland, is preparing to cut roughly 5 % of its Irish staff as part of a re‑organisation aimed at focusing resources on faster‑growing business areas, according to Reuters. The layoffs are not linked to AI‑driven job displacement, and come despite a 12 % revenue increase in the latest quarter. The move follows a wave of tech‑sector cutbacks across companies such as Coinbase, Meta, Amazon and PayPal, and follows LinkedIn’s recent opening of a new EMEA headquarters in Dublin and Microsoft’s broader voluntary redundancy programmes in its Irish operations.

@kyonshi@dice.camp · Apr 28, 2026

Huh... what?

500.000 developers?

And you have an annual revenue of 120 million dollars?

So every developer makes you 240 bucks per year on average?

That doesn't sound like a sustainable business model.

Selasin Linkkaria Nuori2026-päivien jälkimainingeissa, ja eteen tuli ainakin tusina selfieitä tai tekoälyllä tehtyjä omakuvia, joissa hymyiltiin toooooodella leveästi kaikki legot näkyvissä. Kuvat eivät siis liittyneet nuorisoalan tapahtumaan, vaan random-postauksia. Jokaisen kohdalla tuli mieleen vain kuvassa näkyvä albumin kansi. Paitsi et Richardilla on enemmän tunnetta mukana hymyssä. #linkedIn #fakeSmiles

#Browsergate duerfte tatsaechlich der 1. grosse #Datenschutz Skandal sein, der auf #LinkedIn einschlaegt... nur irgendwie redet kaum jemand darueber. Und dies trotz bereits laufender Verfahren in der EU und den USA! Meine neue @info Ausgabe schaut sich die Vorwuerfe an: Warum muss Linkedin wissen, ob ich eine religioese Extension, ein Apotheker-Tool oder eine Browser-Erweiterung zur Jobsuche installiert habe? https://www.metacheles.de/browsergate-so-scannt-linkedin-offenbar-euren-rechner/ Freue mich ueber jeden Boost!

There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium: https://browsergate.eu/

The website claims “LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer”, and implies the purpose is to find “religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities”.

tl;dr:

yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 6k+ extensions on Chrome;
yes, this is bad;
but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily overblown claims.
