I do like the idea of a P2P system. I used to be on ZeroNet but there were just too few people and too little content to stick with it. I hope something like this takes off.

You’re welcome :)

A great app. I use the (FLOSS) LibRedirect browser extension to automatically send YouTube links to FreeTube.

Ah, practising the deeply held moral principle of “I’m alright, Jack”.

So AI is just three Netflix executives in a trench coat?

Just wave your arms and shout. They’re more afraid of you than you are of them!

Interesting read, thanks.

Basically, yes. EEE is a strategy developed by a dominant company whose revenue stream came from paid proprietary software and services but which embraced open standards with the goal of vanquishing the threat to their business model posed by that openness and maintaining/recovering their proprietary domination.

Does ActivityPub being open and used by many different projects & organizations pose a threat to Piefed’s business model? Is Piefed a powerful company that built that power on a proprietary model and seeks to preserve that power by embracing, extending, and extinguishing ActivityPub? With the goal of maintaining/recovering proprietary domination?

No. So it ain’t EEE.

From “No racism” to “No “no racism””: America’s great again!!!

I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

TIL that Egyptian Islamic Jihad (who assassinated Sadat) merged with Al Qaeda in June 2001. And that Ayman al Zawahiri, one of the main orchestrators of 9/11 and bin Laden’s #2, come to Al Qaeda from Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

TIL that. Thanks. Now reading up on eusociality in hymenopterans.

Me, too.

KDE Connect

I’ve used it a lot just to control audio or video playing on my computer from my phone. (Sometimes when I’m sat at my computer with multiple windows and workspaces open, I even find it easier just to hit my phone’s lockscreen to pause the music.)

I’m starting to use some of its other features, too. E.g. copying & pasting and sharing files between phone and computer.

There’s more too I need to explore.

(Unfortunately, sometimes I get a ‘device unreachable’ error when both devices clearly have a working connection to the same router.)

Upvoted for FreeTube.

What do you use to send YouTube links to FreeTube? Personally I’m using LibRedirect https://libredirect.github.io/

I disagree.

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

An obedient drone serving the monarchy? Cry me a river!

My software chops begin and end with: 10 PRINT “HELLO, WORLD” 20 GOTO 10

Good to hear devs are working on it.
