I dont fully understand either, thats why I wanted to join an instance to see the difference. So far it looks like Mastadon but you can filter your feed based on “most boosted”, “most liked”, “most commented”, instead of only a chronological feed only. it also has a feature called “circles” which I think is the equivalent of a facebook group but I haven’t tried it yet.

Thank you for sharing the links! I just signed to one of them.

I am also surprised how much money they were able to raise. I hope they deliver on the things they promised

I agree! Its shouldn’t be legal to have houses as investments.

Lack of communicating with OP would be nice but its nice to just mirror their page if they are content creators

Thanks, I didn’t know Peertube had a built in tool for mirroring a channel. I will look into that.

I just found out about lemmit.online from the other answers and I agree with you on having be a different instance is good practice.

Thank you for sharing the links and for pointing out this has potential copyright issues. I think its still good to have these tools though.

A small device that you plug in and lets you self host with a simple sign up would be a game changer.

I dont have a lot of technical knowledge in self hosting and I’ve been trying and failing to host fedi services following the documentation and youtube tutorials, I know I will figure it out eventually but an easier solution would be nice as well.

As I understand, its an ATproto instance separate from Bluesky. Racially self segregated is a weird phrase and a wrong assumption. You don’t to black to join but is a focused on black cultures and communities

If they lock bootloaders, whats the best way to force it work even the vendors don’t want it to?

fuck google!

Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren’t as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

This is a good point. I wonder why this isn’t the default

I’m surprised that its only 30 microns. The current govt seemed very adamant about removing plastic shopping bags waste. Although in my experience the most common shopping bags in the Ethiopia are much thinner than other countries (I would guess that they are probably only 30 microns) it would just mean the plastic producers would just shift to creating thicker bags

Thanks for the answer. This might be a dumb question but what does that mean exactly? Is Flipboard approaching the different media outlets and offering to share their content on Flipboard’s instance? If so, what do the media outlets get out of using flipboard versus their own instance or a more generic instance like mastadon.social?

How come so many of them are on flipboard? I wonder why they don’t run their own instances

This is amazing!!

I really like the app too and I like the improvements they are focusing:

Goal #1: Free PeerTube “Premium” for the people €15,000

Play videos in background
Cast your videos to your TV
Get notified of newly released content
Change the video definition

Goal #2: Share videos from your pocket €35,000

Manage all channels of your account
Edit video chapters, subtitles, info, etc.
Get detailed stats of your content
Upload new videos from your mobile

Goal #3: Livestream from your mobile €55,000

Set up & manage livestream
Use device cameras & connection
Stream live from your hand
No more need for a secondary mobile app dedicated to live streams

Plus on the fireside fedi interview, a rep from peertube said that they would make these improvements whether or not they hit the fundraising goals but the new funds would help

This sucks but I think this will lead to a Youtube exodus and other platforms like Peertube will creator and user base will grow

I thought this was a fake song they made up for the movie for years before I heard the song playing in real life.

I remember watching the movie for the first time and thinking, “No, this song is way over the top and too much of a satire”. Man, was I wrong!

Donated!

From the article:

“Today’s court’s decision shows that the consent system used by Google, Amazon, X, Microsoft, deceives hundreds of millions of Europeans. The tech industry has sought to hide its vast data breach behind sham consent popups. Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people.” [Dr Johnny Ryan, Director of Enforce at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties]

Today’s judgement confirms the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s 2022 decision. It applies immediately across Europe.
