Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

I'm a happy paying user of @signal.org but I'm disappointed by @meredithmeredith.bsky.social thread about the AWS outage. Signal chose a centralized design to be more nimble (watch to media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11086...), but that comes with drawbacks.
