#fdroid just successfully built #TinyWeatherForecastGermany version 0.62.9 .

This is a #floss #weather #forecast #app for #android devices based on #opendata from the German federal weather service "Deutscher Wetterdienst", the #dwd .

This app has no trackers included, does not need any proprietary services on your devices and has been developed to work well on de-g***led devices running #lineageos.

It also supports #tindie_wearables via the #gadgetbridge app.

You can get it at #fdroid, #izzyondroid and you can visit the project homepage at #codeberg

• [They] implement partial evaluation for data in 9 cities, exposing varying quality.
• The implementation is released open-source and can be applied to other locations.
• [They] provide an overdue definition of street view imagery..."

In 2010, #AaronSwartz downloaded 70 GB of articles from JSTOR. He faced a $1 million fine and 35 years in prison
➡️ Aaron took his own life in 2013.

#Meta illegally downloaded over 80 terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train its #AI models
➡️ facing no consequences.

Information is power, knowledge is power.

Beware and fight against those who want to keep you ignorant, unaware, and misinformed.

The state of these systems, the systems that municipalities use to meet their mandated #opendata requirements, are rough to say the least. I quickly discovered that not only were most cities not using legistar, even the cities that were using legistar might not have it configured correctly.

I had to start chipping away at the problem. City by city. County by county. Brick by brick.

Everywhere I could find a common pattern, I coded it up and applied it against more municipalities

At this point I had Alameda, Oakland, and Berkeley meeting minutes live and searchable. I didn't feel "done", but I had other concerns (an infant, a startup, a host of family medical issues), and so things sat for a couple years

But I couldn't stop thinking about the potential. I couldn't stop thinking about what it would mean for journalists and activists and hell just normal citizens to have access to all the meeting data as #opendata, for their local govts, searchable and linkable.

"The #NSF Is Being Dismantled — With Broad Implications For The American Economy."
forbes.com/sites/johndrake/202

PS: By now we've seen many versions of this story. I'm struck by the fact that this one, in Forbes, for the business world, contains this editorial aside: "Public research should serve the national interest. It should be transparent, #OpenAccess and aligned with real societal needs. Not every idea merits federal support. But there are better ways to modernize the research ecosystem — by improving data-sharing, strengthening accountability, developing special programs and expanding capacity — than by gutting trusted institutions and replacing them with opaque, politicized systems."

ForbesThe National Science Foundation Is Being Dismantled. What The Economy Needs Is More InvestmentThe economic consequences of restricting scientific inquiry on this scale could be far-reaching.
