I'm excited to announce that the #Zinc #Coop has released #PlasticBullet's source code under the #LicenseZero #ProsperityLicense.
The next release of the app will include the license text, as well as bring improved support for modern devices and iOS 13.
#ZincCoop believes customers have the right to exercise direct control of software they've purchased; and that sustainable economic models for user-facing software can include broadly permissive licensing.
SaaS you can’t host yourself is unethical.

just paid an artist and a bunch of authors. always feels really good.
if you're interested in helping me to keep doing this, the lit journal i run has a patreon and we'd love more support! our ultimate goal is paying pro rates to our all involved.
in brief: Luna Station Quarterly is a speculative fiction magazine featuring stories by emerging women-identified authors. we're now in our 8th year!
*whispers softly* the reason that mice have taken precedence over the keyboard isn't because designers don't know what they're doing but because muscle-memory works to your disadvantage when the app you're writing is changing aspects of its design every other month, like any modern web app
Hallo #Coop buddies!
An online community I belong to is centered around solo/micro-entrepenuers. While we're not a formal cooperative, we frequently swap leads, bring one another on for consulting gigs, etc.
We've been talking a bit about how we could make a product together. Do you have any thoughts/links to resources on:
1. Tracking time and attention directed at the product in an equitable way?
2. Distributing income based upon that time/attention investment?
Thanks <3 <3 <3
Have you collaborated with other co-ops on projects? If so, how?
I'd especially love to hear examples that involve:
1. Cross-core competency (i.e. a design co-op working with a marketing or engineering co-op)
2. Differences between collaborating on a "revenue positive" project (i.e. billing a client) vs a speculative project (i.e. building a new product)
Here's how the 3 person, full time #workerCoop I'm in balanced stability, magnitude and equality of #compensation.
We:
1. Set 3 months as our target runway.
2. Made income levels from "barely surviving" to "I can't imagine earning more."
3. Wrote what we would each need/want at each level.
4. Normalized everyone on the maximum per-level answer and multiplied by members.
6. Monthly we distribute at the level that gives us 3 months of runway with a 30% budgeted overhead.
How do you do it?
Jeremy Corbyn suggests 'gig economy' should be replaced by cooperatives
"Corbyn suggested "gig economy" firms like ride-hailing service Uber or food delivery firm Deliveroo could be replaced by co-operatives, in which drivers collectively set pay and conditions and share or reinvest the profits from their work.
He vowed that a Labour Government would promote cooperative groups with the aim of doubling the size of the sector."

I'm trying to figure out how to #mastodon,
Basically I have X accounts, where I join certain instances because their local seems ✨ ✨ ✨.
I intend to follow people on my main account, and use the sub-accounts to browse locals and post.
The instances are:
@zee for nerd/tech stuff.
@Zee for running a coop
@zee for gaming + art + stuff
@zee for reading + crafts + music
With some amount of cross-posting between them (for instance most have a tech overlap)

Oh, hey, here's some good news - there's a new law in CA that:
1. employers cannot ask prospective employees their prior salary information
2. employers must, upon asking, provide a salary range for the job in question
This is very good for employees, as they now have better information to work with.
I made some homemade mozzarella today! Not my best work but I’m excited to try again!
