Okay so according to https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/14#issuecomment-492680112 it is available in Pre-Release v1.3.0-rc.1 so might have to wait untill the next update to do that ?
There is information in the docs about playlists here: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/use-video-playlists

hope that helps :D

@andybalaam @rgggn You should be able to follow the account's channel via your peertube account. They appenrently have four different channels, one for each year. See here: https://conf.tube/accounts/foss_north/video-channels

Unfortunately that means (I think) you will not get updates if you follow foss_north_2019 for next years edition. Maybe the uploader should think about using playlists instead of channels ?

Lego is trying to find a replacement for petroleum based plastic for the past 7 years, so far with little success:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/lego-struggles-to-find-a-plant-based-plastic-that-clicks-11560331800?mod=rsswn

This is one of the holy grails of the eco friendly industry. Whoever manages to solve this will be swimming in Lego monies, and others.

Also it's great to see a corporation actually taking this issue seriously for a change.

Matrix goes 1.0! Let's see an #OpenSource future for instant messaging!

So I've spent the past couple of hours messing around with #Scheme ( #racket ).
And while #lisp is super interesting, they *really* bother me for readability.

Never mind the insane amount of parentheses - that's fine, we can do indents and figure it.

The thing that really bothers me is that the operation that happens first, is the operation that is read last. That is so horribly unintuitive.

Readable FP really needs to have a forward pipe operator like F# has. I hear Haskell has a nice one.

This is impressive, and concerning. This is only going to get more convincing.

A method like watermarking doesn't make sense---someone will just develop a system for their own use that _doesn't_ use watermarking. There's no choice but to develop better forensic tools.

Inevitably, one day, those too will fail. If you want to know that something legitimately originated from someone, we need to do so cryptographically. If you want to know that something was legitimately recorded and unaltered by the legitimate source of the video, well, there'll always be a way around that.

Your friendly reminder that slack once had an IRC bridge and they tore it down. The reason was that they could not afford to maintain it. If so, why didn't they opensource it for the community to maintain? Now we have split communities and one more walled garden. And a growing generation that thinks a centralized system owned by a single company is normal. Thanks, slack.

"Some 68% of ordinary investors, those who are not part of management or the board, want to oust Zuckerberg as chairman and bring in an independent figure to chair Facebook's board. This was a significant increase on the 51% who voted in favor of an almost identical proposal last year."

https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-investors-vote-to-fire-mark-zuckerberg-as-chairman-2019-6

Firing Zuckerberg, or him resigning to live the remainder of his life in absolute luxury, would be amusing but it wouldn't solve the Facebook problem. It would just hand over to a new despot. Also shareholder interests are not the same as the 2+billion Facebook users, so this isn't any kind of genuinely democratic process.

The FOSS world is amazing.

I'm apt updating Ubuntu on my laptop. Hundreds of new packages!

I've only contributed financially (or otherwise) to a handful of projects, but I keep getting all this other stuff for free. It's amazing.

Thank you, community.
