Emelia 👸🏻This is a program that I've been championing within <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nivenly</a> over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.You might remember my Pixelfed vulnerability from last year, where OAuth scopes weren't checked allowing for privilege escalation via the API (CVE-2024-25108), that was our very first test-case of this program. I'm incredibly proud to be involved in launching the Fediverse Security Fund from Nivenly Foundation (a 501(c)4 not-for-profit cooperative)<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediverseSecurityFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediverseSecurityFund</a>RE: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly/114268491892140498" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly/114268491892140498</a>

PachliThe website also needed an update to reflect <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Pachli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pachli</a>'s new state as a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nivenly</a> Foundation project.As well as some cosmetic updates <a href="https://pachli.app/pachli/2024/07/02/more-on-nivenly.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pachli.app/pachli/2024/07/02/more-on-nivenly.html</a> explains how to become a member, and <a href="https://pachli.app/about/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pachli.app/about/</a> goes into more detail about ways of contributing to Pachli.These are companion pieces to <a href="https://nivenly.org/blog/2024/07/01/pachli-introduction/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nivenly.org/blog/2024/07/01/pachli-introduction/</a>.

aburka 🫣<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nivenly</a> withdraws support for open source torment nexus 👏 <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly/112384063597517427" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly/112384063597517427</a>

db0The good part is that my recognized value with my <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> work, finally has hardened enough within me, that it keeps the self-doubt away. So when I get rejected from giving a conference talk about AI (as is what happened with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/fosdem2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fosdem2024</a> ) or having my right to belong to something like <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nivenly</a> constantly challenged, I can remind, nay, *prove* to myself that I am actually worth it, but the system has always been rigged against neurodivergent people from the start.

aburka 🫣<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> has clarified on Discourse that this is *not* a binding vote, especially if quorum is not reached or the majority outcome is unclear. It's merely advisory to the foundation board which will make the decisions. And "incubated project" is as yet undefined. The reasoning seems well-intentioned, but this feels unsatisfying to me, coming from what I thought was trying to be a democratic member-led organization.

aburka 🫣<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nivenly</a> is voting on two membership applications.First is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Haidra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haidra</a> (odd to call an "application" because it was already rushed into the foundation before leadership realized how much dissent there was to being associated with AI bullshit). So I know how I'm voting on that one.The other one is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Pachli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pachli</a>, a (hostile?) fork of Tusky by the developer who loudly quit and accused them of financial mismanagement. As I recall, that turned out to be overblown. Anyone have useful opinions on this one?

Emelia 👸🏻I do really want to thank <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nivenly</a> (and especially <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@esk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@esk</a>) for sponsoring the work to fix the critical security vulnerability found in <a href="https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pixelfed</a> earlier in February:<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112022457133862143" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112022457133862143</a>Nivenly stepped up, even though they don't have a stake in Pixelfed, they just wanted to see the Fediverse be safer, more secure and all that.Without their support, I wouldn't have been able to dedicate the time to handling that (since I'm a freelancer)See also: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@esk/112023516859064066" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@esk/112023516859064066</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelfed</a>

toolbear#🌶️So <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nivenly</a> is a poorly concealed group of Effective Altruists, right?<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TESCREAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESCREAL</a>

Hrefna (DHC)Finally.Full disclosures: I do have a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> membership. It costs ~$7/mo, giving me a vote and the ability to call for votes on issues. I've been inactive for a while (due to personal issues) outside of the forum posts.If you think that this is incorrect or you want to bind nivenly in some way to prevent bad behavior, we can absolutely talk about what that might look like and how to implement that, but it needs to start from an acknowledgement of what Nivenly actually _is_ today.11/11

Hrefna (DHC)I mean just to start with calling <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> an "AI Art Foundation" is like saying that the ASF is a "blockchain foundation" because they are incubating <a href="https://incubator.apache.org/projects/resilientdb.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://incubator.apache.org/projects/resilientdb.html</a>, except that the relationship between Apache and ResilientDB is actually stronger than the relationship between Nivenly and Haidra. This blog thing is telling me a lot about some people in how they react and what they decide to focus on, but it isn't telling me anything even… coherent about Nivenly.

Hrefna (DHC)I have started a conversation on the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@nivenly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nivenly</a> Community Boards ( <a href="https://github.com/nivenly/community/discussions/4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/nivenly/community/discussions/4</a> ) about <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FSEP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FSEP</a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TheBadSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheBadSpace</a>, starting with my own breakdown of the doc.

Hrefna (DHC)1. That's not what a supercomputer is. 2. The audience of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> is highly technical already, we know what distributed workload clusters are. 3. If someone didn't know and is being assumed to not know, then the choice of references here is fascinating. Not "value neutral" items, but specifically public good projects in the domain of scientific exploration and research. I don't think this part is deliberately manipulative, but it _is_ manipulative of the audience perception. 13/

Hrefna (DHC)Specifically, I am of the view that if they are accepted then <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/nivenly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nivenly</a> will become complicit in the behavior of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AiHordeDotNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AiHordeDotNet</a>.I _don't_ think that the Nivenly board sees it that way, but as an engineer _I_ would. I could draw a line between "us" and "them" if .net was run by someone who was not a lead maintainer on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Haidra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haidra</a>This would not be as big of deal, except that I feel like there's a bit of a shell game going on when it comes to responsibility, and that's part of my core objection4/
