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.”

New blog post: How to implement a basic ActivityPub server https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

.@Framasoft's crowdfunding for #PeerTube has just passed 100%, so it will definitely get funding 🎉 👏 🍾

There's still 12 days to go, so the appeal is going for a stretch goal to add even more features 😎

Well done everyone! 👍

#DeleteYouTube #Alternatives

#PeerTube v1 is really close to being funded!

@ljf worked on two apps to make it easy to deploy a Borg setup between two servers ! (Borg is a software that allows efficient, encrypted remote backups)

He is now looking for people to try those and provide feedback. Feel free to join the effort ! (N.B. : this is an inprogress/unstable app, please don't put it in production yet)

More info : https://forum.yunohost.org/t/community-app-borg-borg-server/5006

Wow! #PeerTube funding campaign just raised to 42%! \o/
Only 15 days left to meet our goal, so keep on sharing and #JoinPeertube https://frama.link/joinpeertube

Happy to see Blender looking at adopting PeerTube, the federated, peer to peer, ActivityPub-using video platform (especially because YouTube weirdly started blocking Blender's stuff in some countries) https://twitter.com/blender_org/status/1009077941676986368

BTW, PeerTube is currently running a crowdfunding campaign. They could use your help! https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform

And so #Youtube won't allow the #Blender Foundation to share its creative commons licensed videos on the platform if they don't monetize it? Really? https://www.blendernation.com/2018/06/19/blender-foundation-youtube-update/ #b3d

Agreed.. OpenStreetMap Should Be a Priority for the Open Source Community

5. Youtube "silenced" John Cage's 4'33" (see pic)

Fun fact: 4'33" *is silent*:

Looks like silence is now copyrighted.

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.
