You can have personalisation without data centralisation. The notion that they rely on each other is a myth. Our absurdly powerful devices allow for local, not cloud, processing. https://twitter.com/GrahamHill/status/1010142248099512321

This week, the EU voted to destroy the Internet as we know it, and on Sunday, Berliners are taking to the streets. Tell your friends! https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/wednesday-eu-committee-voted-break-internet-sunday-berliners-take-streets-say-no

.@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! 👍

Maybe media.ccc.de just needs to federate with peertube.
🤔

has anyone come up with a solitaire game for #tarot cards

We already know that automated content filters don't work. They put absolute power over content in the hands of a system that is opaque and broken.

A couple of days ago YouTube took down all of the Blender Foundation's videos from the Blender Foundation's channel due to a copyright claim by... the Blender Foundation.

The BF is an official YT partner, but days later they still cannot get a straight answer from YT about what is going on:

@bob @alcinnz The FSF is so out of touch on anything to do with the cloud.

They give sites an F because of Javascript nitpicking, but the fundamental issue: "All data contributed by the project owner and contributors is exportable in a machine-readable format" is an optional "extra credit" listing.

This betrays the fact that they don't even understand the fundamentals of their own philosophy.

Being able to run the same code on your own hardware doesn't help if your data is held hostage.

The new #GDPR seems to have led to US websites posting lengthy screeds of marketing copy that you have to OK before you can read the content. I clicked a link to TechCrunch, and got four full paragraphs of obfuscation with an OK button.

None of this is compliant with GDPR.

@Riley @Chocobozzz

It should be easy to add a point in the FAQ section https://joinpeertube.org/en/faq/

I think the main issue is that we want to reach non-french speaking people, but we don't have a good network outside France (where we're well known and, considered as one of the biggest Free Software non-profit).

I think that excepted @aral and the message of @valvin we didn't had a lot of boosts/retweets/messages directed to non french-speaking people.

Reminder that artalley.porn is a relatively new Mastodon server for artists and commissioners! Registrations are currently open!

And this account boosts all sorts of good art, if you want a curated assortment 😀 (NSFW included, but always marked as such!)

So I just met one of the 3 (!) maintainers of F-Droid. They are desperately looking for more volunteers as they are responsible for 1500 repositories between them.
