European Citizens' Initiative: Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home
"Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every person’s material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties."
Finished my first week working for #Cosylab where our department is working on #astronomy and #space projects for #ESA (European Space Agency) and #ESO (European Southern #Observatory). We're using my favourite tools like C++, Qt and #Linux. Can't get much closer to perfection, or as the Japanese would say, #ikigai 😀 In particular, I'll be working on the control software for 39-metre #ELT - Extremely Large #Telescope planned to be finished in 2025, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-10fipc27w
"After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it."

I made a #mastodon account for my #opensource app @novelwriter 😊
It is a writing app for novels, written in Python and Qt5. It runs on #Linux, #Windows and on #macOS
Another tip: Every Mastodon account has RSS built in. Just add .rss to the end of the URL for your account, e.g. merveilles.town/@lrhodes.rss
That lets people follow your public posts from an RSS reader, but it's also useful if you wanted to use IFTTT to crosspost your public posts to another platform.
