Charlotte Aten<p>I saw today that my CoCalc (<a href="https://cocalc.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cocalc.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) license was about to renew. I've been meaning to move to a more <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> or <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a> paradigm, so this was good timing for me to cancel. I left this message when doing so:</p><p>"I want to support Sage, and I like using CoCalc, but I don't want to put money towards a service that supports Microsoft, Amazon, or OpenAI in any way. I didn't care so much about this before, and I even log in to CoCalc with a GitHub account, but I'm tired of having my work scraped for profit by people who donate to fascists who are destroying my nation. I would consider returning if all ties to these corporations were cut and cloud computing services came from responsible companies, perhaps in the EU."</p><p>I'm pretty sure I already have backups of everything I want from GitHub, so I can be done with them too. I should have quit when Microsoft first arrived. My plan is to switch to Radicle (<a href="https://radicle.xyz/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">radicle.xyz/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) rather than another centralized service. I'll be sure to post about how that goes.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Sage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sage</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SageMath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SageMath</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CoCalc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CoCalc</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AWS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GitHub</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/facism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>facism</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CloudComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CloudComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a></p>
