Ask me how I got Mastodon installed at work: @judeswae
En mettant en place un outil de surveillance qui détecterait 99% des terroristes avec seulement 0.1% de marge d'erreur, 90% de ce que vous détectez ce sont des innocents.
C'est juste des statistiques et c'est foutrement instructif ⬇⬇⬇

I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:

You know what's a real travesty in browser land? iframes cannot automatically resize to the height of their content. The height can only ever be hardcoded. For this reason all embed codes on the web need JavaScript.

I currently have a library of ~1000 feature films, a few dozen film serials, and hundreds of TV shows and Radio Programs that are in the public domain.
I'm working to catalog and organize these and get them in to a format that is consumable from other people.
I'm focusing on tracking down the best available copies of these public domain works, and on presenting them in a way that is conducive to discovery.
At this point, there isn't probably anymore differences between #cryptocurrencies and contemporary #art.
RT @TorEkelandPC@twitter.com: My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread

Interesting article about the challenge to pay for development and maintenance of Open Source projects. Another unmentioned option is to directly sell support subscriptions for a project as we do at Nextcloud. Key is the 100% open source business model. https://goo.gl/9CKokC
in a nutshell, it's about autonomy. it's about social media autonomy for every person on the planet. all 7.6 billion of us. nobody else telling us to do, what to say, and nobody else forcing us to see things we don't want to see.
this means Pleroma is being built for an entirely new scale of fediverse: one with billions of nodes. it's also why Pleroma supports alternative transports such as TOR and I2P out of the box.
it also is a major differentiator between Pleroma and Mastodon. in the Mastodon model, there's maybe a few million islands which host a few thousand people each. to contrast, in our model, everyone who wants to host their own instance does so. that means everyone can choose to have total social media freedom.
but it's not just social media, we also intend to use the same underlying tech to enable real-time communications with the same capabilities as the social media side of things.
and it's universal: different frontends for different preferences. like Mastodon but don't have the resources to run it? use Pleroma with Mastodon frontend and apps. like GNU social? Pleroma's default frontend was modelled after it. like diaspora* but want to talk to your fediverse friends? use Feather. like the alternative Mastodon frontends like Pinafore and Brutaldon? they work too.
hate spam and harrassment? we have a mostly as yet untapped framework called MRF which can be leveraged to automate moderation of an instance.
want to modify it? drop by #pleroma on freenode and we help with that too.
Reality touch.
Lukaku talking about his life before football.
The sad part is nobody is going to take action about the way he lived. It's better for the media to use the story to make people cry but when it comes to the reality nobody is going to do shit. Like they all are going to get rich playing football or something...
It's a really hard reading.

.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:
https://www.blender.org/media-exposure/youtube-blocks-blender-videos-worldwide/
Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.
If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:
