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.”

postmarketOS, Plasma Mobile's favorite platform, is now 1 year old! In one year, development has been astounding, and pmOS is shaping up to be THE through and through Free mobile distro of the future.

#PeerTube is free/libre software alternative to YouTube
-- federated (uses ActivityPub)
-- peer2peer streaming
-- currently in beta
non-profit @Framasoft is crowdfunding its development
https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform
this project is already usable (more than 50 instances)
and can be a game-changer.
Boost its development and give it more visibility.
The 0.14.1 #bugfix #release is out. It patches several annoying issues, especially in the importer, and also includes a HUGE performance boost during CLI import (we're talking x5 to x7 speed on files that have musicbrainz tags).
The transcoding feature was also removed, as it was broken, resource-hungry, poorly-designed and incompatible with Apache2 and Subsonic. A cleaner implementation will come later.
As usual, the full changelog may be found at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/changelog.html#id1
happy upgrade :)
By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).
#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
Upcoming version of Mastodon (2.4.1) will have a delete & redraft function.

@fdroidorg If you are using Android you need to know about F-Droid. It's the best source of Free and Open Source Software
Hey app developers! I'm trying to schedule a video call for a third grader to ask some questions about how apps are made (the decision process, design...not so much the detail of programming).
It'll be next Tuesday, 12:45 EST.
If you can help, let me know. Boosts are appreciated. 👍
