I'm very pro Free & Open Source Software (FOSS), so after reading this post https://ecency.com/life/@valued-customer/open-source-software-institutions-are-being-captured-by-the-un-just-like-crypto-is-by-banks by @valued-customer, rather than watch the video i went to a written report to find out more: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/open-source-orgs-pledge-fealty-to
" ... we now know, with a high level of certainty, that many of the significant Open Source organizations and Foundations now serve three masters:
The Corporations
The Political Activists
The United Nations
I don’t know about you, but I sure wouldn’t want to have those three masters."
I highly in-courage reading the article to find out which Open Source Organisations are joining the co-opting of real Open Source Software, which will likely be added to the arsenal of violence creating centralized software which controls the people. You can then choose your masters armed with more knowledge.

I think this matter is particularly important for Open Source #Devs to be aware of. If you are an open source developer, you probably want the tools you use to deploy your platform to also be open source and deventralised so you platform cannot be corrupted. An example is hosting your code on github or gitlab. Both of these are associated with this UN organisation which is attempting to change the definition of Open Source Software.
Did you know this about Microsoft?
@ecency @peakd @meno, fyi as you are all hosting code on github. forgejo.io might be a good option, but DYOR (and please let me know your thoughts).
On another page there are some charts comparing forgejo with other forges, eg. gitea & github. Here is one of the charts:

And there is also Radicle
Again, DYOR

Why couldn't Hive itself be used for code collaborations?
Technically I think it could. However on Hive there are myriad 'masters' that would have to approve your code, and some of them have demonstrated outright hostility to certain viewpoints by flagging accounts they disagree with into the dust. That may not prevent sharing code (if the obfuscation of content Peakd and other frontends apply to censor such accounts' posts doesn't prevent it. Images, for example, simply aren't enabled) but it could, and it certainly tempts self appointed censors to permanently disable selected accounts and content creators from receiving any rewards ever again.
So? What rewards do you get from GitHub?
Not all rewards are tokens.
I expect it could be. I'm not a coder though so idk
I greatly appreciate your deeper look into the issue. As I am not a dev it is beyond my competence to provide the additional detail and clarity you have. It would be a stretch for me to assemble a Reticulum compatible RNode, and that same character flaw left me utterly unaware of the decentralized alternatives to Github and Gitlab, which I reckon is similarly of critical importance to open source.
The point about tornado cash is particularly poignant, as the prosecution of the TC dev as an unregistered 'money transmitter' is completely spurious, as TC never has any ability to receive or manage clients' crypto. I consider that prosecution as duplicitous as calling octogenarians terrorists for opposing their governments' participation in the genocide of Palestine. These are the paste coming out of the tube, and it is obvious that tyrannical governments will continue to eradicate human rights and chattelize humanity until they collapse, or are prevented from doing so. While I think that is eventually inevitable, it might take decades of enslavement and suffering before it happens, and by then who knows what kinds of RNA and nanotech might be potential to control human slaves.
If we want to have the ability to communicate securely, to transact with crypto outside networks that can impose any limitation they want on such cryptos, making every crypto transmitted on a network of proprietary hardware owned by wannabe overlords into a CBDC, and only allow approved speakers to say approved statements. This is literally an existential threat to survival itself, because across history no pathological government bent on democide has factually alerted it's victims to their plans for them, nor how to withstand, supercede, or avoid them. Hundreds of millions of people have been killed in the 20th Century, and tens of millions already in the 21st Century, and they're just getting wound up.
Thanks!
