Do they interact with the fediverse?

Do they post alternative video links to sites other than youtube?

Do they include links to non-corporate platforms on their sites?

If not, tell them to walk the walk! The more they hear this, the more likely they are to change their behaviour.

#decentralization #opensource #hypocracy #freesoftware

A plea to anyone that believes in the return to a non-monopolistic free and decentralized internet.

Call out the hypocrisy of "open source" or "privacy respecting" organizations that continue to support as first class citizens, corporate platforms. If they truly believe in change, let them behave that way.

Alice in Wonderland and the theft of the public domain

https://drewdevault.com/2020/08/24/Alice-in-Wonderland.html

Honestly all bands should have a Bandcamp page where people can get their stuff DRM free

If you, your project or your team depends on an open source project, don’t hesitate to mail its creators and tell them that you do!

You have no idea how useful such endorsements are when maintainers want to justify their time commitments!

Basically, I think programming is one of the best skills in 2020, and people vastly underestimate their ability to do it. It’s not about being smart enough, it’s about having the patience to work through the challenges without giving up. Not even a degree can help you with that. It’s normal and expected to think “I’m not cut out for this,” but if you have the drive to continue, there are really no barriers. You need a laptop and an internet connection, that’s about it. It doesn’t even have to be a good laptop, and it could be Starbucks WiFi. Not only is it the best alternative to college, it gives you power to shape the world.

Thanks to @jannik #owncast has a web site now! It’s much nicer to have a way to browse documentation and learn a bit more about the project than digging through the Github repo. Check it out if you have a chance!

"Summer rewind"

Which summer???

So AAPL is now worth 2 trillion dollars.

Only 2 short years ago the market was at awe at the first trillion dollar public company in American history.

It took the company 2 years to gain the same market capital valuation as it took them nearly 4 decades.

All during a pandemic and recession.

It's definitely something to think about... is it inflation of the USD? Is it inflation of the market? Are we due for a major crash?
