@aral @rho https://small-tech.org/videos/index.xml is the URL. Looks like the output is a little bit wonky right now (I’ll get that fixed) but it still gets you the videos and transcripts when they’re updated!

@aral

Thanks to a heads-up from @heydon, I just fixed the formatting issues on my “Building a simple chat app with Site.js” post. Check it out here: https://ar.al/2019/10/11/build-a-simple-chat-app-with-site.js/

“…they've been subsidised into market dominance … You have insanely large pools of capital creating an incredibly inefficient money-losing business model.”

Well it took over a year but we managed to get Google Fonts removed from the Mozilla Rust project. Thanks to everyone who helped out and supported this.

Continually insisting “Britain isn’t racist” is racist in itself because you’re dismissing and diminishing the lived experiences of non-white people as well as the history (and current policies!) of our incredibly racist country.

Done some website tweaks. Better grid (thanks to Rachel Andrew’s editorial patterns and Michelle Barker’s clarifying talk at SOTB), bigger type for bigger viewports (love me some fat fonts), reinstating the original nav colours, and some text here and there.

@aral @fosdem I've privately shared these sentiments you pointed out. When I see the big 5 names it makes me distrust who ever is in partnership with them. Do business with crooks expect to be cheated. It concerns me how deep their tentacles are. There seems to be a common game here. When a FLOSS venture reaches a certain point its seems to be bought out by one of the big 5. Maybe being small is the only solution here? Maybe the big 5 use some of the data they collected to leverage deals?

In the past, I’ve called out @fosdem for having Google as a sponsor: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/100974215641531155

So this year, they added Facebook also: https://fosdem.org/2020/about/sponsors/

FOSDEM is about open source, not freedom.

Why is this a problem? Read this: https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/
