This sucks. Hopefully this will push ppl to sign up to mastadon or to other atproto instances and move away from the main bluesky acct.

For anybody looking for mastadon instance i recommend mas.to and for an atproto alternative, I’ve been on blacksky.community instance for a few weeks now and I rly enjoy it

Thanks for sharing the links!

Okay, I didn’t know ATproto had many parts that can be independent or dependent on each other. It would be nice if there was an easy way to check the level of independence of an instance

I don’t use it much, but from what I understand ATproto used to super expensive to self host but now costs have fallen significantly and other instances outside of the main Bluesky instance have emerged. I think now the problem they have to solve is getting the users (who are something like 99 per cent on the main Bluesky instance) over to the other instances.

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.

As a non technical person, I think any tool that would make local hosting easier for laypeople like myself is great! I hope everything works out for you and localhostinger becomes a thing. I particularly like the “The app store idea” version a lot!

If I can share a few books I’ve really enjoyed:

So Long a Letter (1979) - Mariama Ba

The Old Drift (2019) - Namwali Serpell

Tekusat (ትኩሳት) (1997) - Sebhat Gebre-Egzhiaber

Things Fall Apart (1958) - Chinua Achebe

Patchwork (2011) - Ellen Banda-Aaku

The Wedding of Zein (1966) - Tayeb Salih

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

Is Zohran back in NYC or is this recorded before he left for Uganda?

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!!

When is his position up for election? New blood needs to primary this guy

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

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!
