(232) Gender-Critical Feminism and Academic Witch Hunts. A conversation with Kathleen Stock - YouTube

"In her book, Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism, she dives deeply into the confusion that surrounds sex, gender, gender identity, and transgenderism. She argues that transgenderism has allowed biological men to intrude on hard-won advancement for interests of women—which she has described as a "land grab"—to the ultimate detriment of women and girls. For this, she has endured a campaign of cancellation that she describes as "medieval.""

What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it • The Register

"Another straw burdening the Open Source camel, Perens writes, "is that Open Source has completely failed to serve the common person. For the most part, if they use us at all they do so through a proprietary software company's systems, like Apple iOS or Google Android, both of which use Open Source for infrastructure but the apps are mostly proprietary. The common person doesn't know about Open Source, they don't know about the freedoms we promote which are increasingly in their interest. Indeed, Open Source is used today to surveil and even oppress them."

Free Software, Perens explains, is now 50 years old and the first announcement of Open Source occurred 30 years ago. "Isn't it time for us to take a look at what we've been doing, and see if we can do better? Well, yes, but we need to preserve Open Source at the same time. Open Source will continue to exist and provide the same rules and paradigm, and the thing that comes after Open Source should be called something else and should never try to pass itself off as Open Source. So far, I call it Post-Open."

Post-Open, as he describes it, is a bit more involved than Open Source. It would define the corporate relationship with developers to ensure companies paid a fair amount for the benefits they receive. It would remain free for individuals and non-profit, and would entail just one license.

He imagines a simple yearly compliance process that gets companies all the rights they need to use Post-Open software. And they'd fund developers who would be encouraged to write software that's usable by the common person, as opposed to technical experts."

"Le collectif Badgeons l’Occitanie, au nom de l’association Reconnaître, organise la seconde édition du forum francophone des Open Badges et de la reconnaissance ouverte en Occitanie. Le maître-mot du forum, c’est : “Pratiquer” !

Cette année, nous voulons profiter du Forum pour créer du bien commun autour de la reconnaissance et des Open Badges. C'est pourquoi, nous aimerions faire appel à de la facilitation graphique pour mettre en lumière les échanges lors de l'événement, mais aussi au-delà !"
