OpenMW: an open-source re-implementaiton of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

The developers ask help plan OpenMW’s future!

The project is almost ready to become version 1.0.

OpenMW’s project leader Zini, with feedback from the project’s most active contributors, has produced the first draft of an enormous design document detailing the next steps.

Check it out via the link.

Had a geek nostalgia moment today.

Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.

I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.

Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.

Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.

Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:

1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

I've just discovered mps-youtube (mpsyt). It lets you search youtube songs, play them, and make and save playlists without adverts. If you play YouTube music all day, you need this in your life.

Starting to see how important community is. @ChrisTalleras made me realize how important it is to create a friendly environment for people to gather around art that we like and share with each other. We are the creators, we are the creatives. It's our duty to create these places for others and us.

Question concerning #Peertube :

I want to take old movies that are currently available on archive.org and make a classic movie Peertube instance.

But I don’t want to seed from scratch.

Since archive.org already seeds these movies, can I add their tracker info to my peertube instance? Share the load with archive.org?

(If there’s a better place to ask this question, than the public fediverse, let me know!”

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.”
