olafura··on Linux Foundation starts AgStack, an open-source agtech initiative
For me Farmbot ( https://farm.bot/ ) is some of the most interesting thing happening in open source farming and they aren't apart of this initiative. None of the projects are really something your need a framework for.

I think what some of the projects involved are doing is laudable but it's not really revolutionary.

Then again I don't do farming though some of my family and friends of my family do.

Still seems to be a problem, when you click on a video. But the main page seems to be fixed

Youtube has a staggered release so it might be regional or just waiting to hit everyone :D

I'm getting:

You are currently using minified code outside of NODE_ENV === "production". This means that you are running a slower development build of Redux. You can use loose-envify (https://github.com/zertosh/loose-envify) for browserify or setting mode to production in webpack (https://webpack.js.org/configuration/mode/) to ensure you have the correct code for your production build.

At least it is minified :D

olafura··on Amazon-Owned Twitch Bans Amazon’s Union-Busting Ads
I come from Iceland where union participation is over 90%. We have rules and regulations in regards to unions including that you can join any union that doesn't have specific requirements for entry (medical doctors and such).

I've also lived in Canada for 7 years so I have seen and heard most sides.

Can unions be bad and corrupt sure. That is true of any organization that's why we have laws.

Do some unions have weird rules including not allowing anyone that doesn't know someone within unions ( in Canada ), sure again that is why we have laws.

Have I seen companies that specialize in breaking up unions ( again in Canada ). You bet I have.

Unions aren't a solution for every problem. But it's a solid foundation to build on. They are good at making sure that their members have some basic rights, which is lacking in most Canadian companies.

The anti union rhetoric is kinds of laughable because it's so obviously manufactured by special interest. Unions don't have anything to do with political leanings.

I'm really sad that a lot of people haven't experiences the potential of unions because they can be really helpful for people and it's really annoying that countries that pioneered unions like USA and Canada have left the intimidation tactics work. There have been many people killed so I do understand people hesitancy during that time. But the tactics are usually now bad brochures and videos.

I have not benefited as much from unions as other people but that doesn't mean that I don't understand people's basic rights to unionize.

olafura··on Snaps are an anti-pattern on Ubuntu
Am I missing something isn't https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft and https://github.com/snapcore/snapd Free Software under the GPL3.

I had seen some discussion before about the server not being open source but I can clearly see the store api there. I'm just looking at the code now and haven't taken any time in testing it out for myself yet.

Regarding debian packages and apt as we have seen with the amount of PPAs, there really has to be some solution for that. I like the snap format I believe it's heading in the right direction. It still has some problems with desktop software but that seems to be addressed as it has progressed.

There is this strange cold war between Red Hat and Canonical and Red Had seem to have most of the NIH problems if you look at the history. I really don't think Red Hat or some of it's developers possible like relying on code from Canonical.
