Balaji: „People say it’s a corporate thing, it’s a money thing. I say, it’s a community thing.“ „Network school provides six day a week drop-off for kids. A working parent can drop off their kid, come back and give them a hug, then continue working.“

„I’ll put out an open source playbook for creating network states, and when we’ll see thousands of them popping up, awarding the best ones with a prize.“ Balaji at #FuturaCamp Berlin

„We’ll see many new Silicon Valley’s popping up around the world. […] People will go to many of the 195 countries around the world. And maybe we can add a 196th, and a 197th.“ Balaji at #FuturaCamp Berlin #BBW26 #berlinblockchainweek

„Does network school have culture?“ @vitalik.ca Balaji: „Number of people times duration“ (aka „network state census“) is the new coinmarketcap „price per coin times amount“. #futuracamp berlin #BBW

„Easterners societies built upon religion, karma, harmony etc. appear to be better at dealing with the societal effects of social media than the US-American society.“ Also, „AI is making the world more Chinese.“ Balaji at #FuturaCamp Berlin #BBW

„This month is one of my „no-Twitter-UI“-months, and if feels like my mental health is up by a lot.“ @vitalik.ca at #futuracamp in Berlin #BBW Adding that some number of people left (e.g. to Bluesky), now the battlefield on twitter lacks a counteracting force.

Hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass 5G in der Berliner Innenstadt so schwankt: Im Gebäude: Vodafone: 5,6 Mbps vs. o2: 160 Mbps (30x!) im Downstream. 2x besserer Upstream und 2-3x bessere Latenz. Vom Balkon schafft o2 sogar 390 Mbps (und 2x mit Vodafones 160 Mbps).

(*) feature request: for this step, a button „copy to all fields below“ which copies the draft from the first text field to all text fields below would be quite handy. Or did I miss it and something like that exists already?

„Bot traffic has overtaken human traffic“ while „bots don’t donate any money“ (to @wikipedia.org and other FLOSS), which is why we need „other infrastructures to incentivise reciprocity“. At #rp26, Lea Gimpel of Digital Public Goods Alliance (digitalpublicgoods.net) asks: Can #Ostrom help?

„As we just saw, the panel agrees - so at next year‘s @re-publica.com, we’ll all have to show results!“ @francescabria.bsky.social about #EuroStack at #rp26

@francescabria.bsky.social at @re-publica.com, initiator of the #EuroStack, calls for an ambitious, integrated strategy for the building of the digital equipment of Europe and the indus-trial, communication and resources infrastructure without which this would be no more than an empty dream. #rp26

„We've had 40 years of ideological trauma, being convinced that you solve things by taking individual actions, that being in a collective is a waste of time, that there is no such thing as society. We have to bring this ethic of solidarity back before we can anything done.“ Cory Doctorow at #rp26

„Building the #Eurostack without building the migration tools is like building fabulous public housing for East Germans in West Berlin. That housing is going to sit there empty until we tear down the wall.“ @doctorow.pluralistic.net / @eff.org at #republica2026 #rp26 #enshittification

Liberalism defines a set of human rights, but when are they also a lived experience? Following the capability approach (Sen/Nussbaum), that increasingly depends on digital infrastructure. Alongside other FLOSS and privacy technologies, @ethereum.org helps guarantee capabilities.

An detailed and compelling account on the gig economy‘s rise and fall, yet its impact on workers persists. „[T]he practices tested in this arena have since become a playbook for less scrupulous companies.“ @aloisi.bsky.social antonioaloisi.substack.com/p/the-gig-ec...

„Strategic litigation“ as a tool to enforce the 4 freedoms on the grounds of the rule of law, raising awareness for and aiming to enforce misuse of appropriately licensed free software. „This forces judges to confront these topics to understand concepts around software freedom.“ @fsfe.org

Theo Beutel @theobtl.eurosky.social · 31/01/2026

Why is it critical for #FLOSS projects to specify a license? „No license means the author has ultimate control over the software.“ @fsfe.org at #FOSDEM Licenses granting the 4 freedoms (run, study, distribute, modify) are, with varying obligations: public domain, permissive and copyleft licenses.
