Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
It's #FollowFriday! Here are some #alternatives to follow:
@cloutstream CloutStream: An open source federated alternative to LinkedIn, just launched its new website
@Chocobozzz Chocobozzz: Lead developer of #PeerTube, the ethical alternative to YouTube
@Purism Purism: Makers of privacy-oriented computers and the upcoming Librem5 smartphone
@fdroidorg F-Droid: The open source alternative to Google Play
@krita Krita: Open source painting software aimed at artists and illustrators
La v1 de #PeeerTube financée à 102%.
Vous êtes des dingues, vous êtes magnifiques : MERCI !
Maintenant, il nous reste 12 jours pour réaliser nos rêves les plus fous pour PeerTube : https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform/wall#100-vous-venez-de-donner-un-avenir-a-peertube-mais-lequel
Just contributed 25€ to #Peertube , I know @Framasoft is good for it ❤. I'm excited for a future in which I don't need to use YouTube anymore 🙂
Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
Wait what happened how did peertube suddenly get from 60 to 100 in like a day
Self hosted google photos!? 😳😀
Avant, je me sentais fade, triste. Mais depuis que j'ai donné à @Framasoft pour le développement de PeerTube, je vais vachement mieux !

Vous aussi, donnez à PeerTube et retrouvez la pêche !
@Framasoft y a-t-il moyen de peer les vidéos d'une ou plusieures instances sans avoir sa propre instance ?
Holy shit! I open the lineageos updater and I see an awesome little present : Oreo has been merged and built for bacon !!!!! Off to try it now ;)
This is very important:

"Article 13 of the Copyright Directive will force internet platforms (social networks, video sites, image hosts, etc.) to install upload filters to monitor all user uploads for copyrighted content, including in images – and thus block most memes, which are usually based on copyrighted images.
(...)
It will come down to every single vote. (...) The NGO EDRi has made a list of key swing votes: https://edri.org/files/Copyright_JURI_MEPs_undecided.pdf."
This will affect #Fediverse.
I have sent e-mails to the MEPs. Have you?
https://juliareda.eu/2018/06/saveyourinternet/
Every e-mail counts. I know this, because years ago I was an activist fighting similar odds on the ground: http://rys.io/en/70
So send your e-mails, call your MEPs. Block Article 11 and Article 13 of the Copyright Directive.
If I understood it correctly, the CopperheadOS maintainer deleted the signing keys after some trouble he perceived as a hostile takeover of his cofounder and CEO, so this is probably the end of that project. Maybe one with a more acceptable license will pop up, or maybe a new maintainer (and keys...) can keep it afloat
A few people have asked about being able to donate via LiberPay. If you would prefer to do that, we've set up a page: https://liberapay.com/fosstodon
For good measure, here are our Patreon and PayPal links too. 😉
#GitPub is a decentralized federation protocol based on the W3C's #ActivityPub, which extends #ActivityStream 2.0. It provides a server to server API for pull request, forking and subscription of repositories provided by #Git web services (services like #GitHub, #GitLab, #Gogs, #Gitea)... No code yet, but I like the idea! 🙂 https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
Schweizer Schulen verbannen WhatsApp aus dem Klassenzimmer: "Ich sage es klipp und klar: Whatsapp ist für die Kommunikation zwischen Lehrpersonen und Schülern komplett ungeeignet." https://m.tagesanzeiger.ch/articles/5b14328fab5c37432e000001 #Schule #WhatsApp
Micro$oft is buying GitHub?
A home for countless open source projects and their source code, GitHub, has been shown interest from M$.
Thanks to GNOME Project and Debian Linux guidance has been shed on how to prepare for the mass FOSS migration. CLA (Contributor License Agreement) has been removed, features has been added.
GitLab can optionally be self hosted, too.
GitLab help with the possible mass migration! ---> https://youtu.be/VYOXuOg9tQI

GitHub has been acquired by Micro$oft. Abandon ship people, spin up an instance of Gitea, GitLab, anything, or if that's not possible switch to gitlab.com
