@heavenly_general @morenonatural I think Daniel (maintainer of conversations.im) had a good point about this:

Things like federation can help with the metadata problem because it is not kept in a central place.

See: https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html

AFAIK, nextcloud federates or at least it did when I used it on my university's instance. I personally prefer syncthing cause it solves the metadata problem by being peer-to-peer.

@samanthasometimes @Shardiech Be advised if you live with others - some websites that FOSS nerds would never go on don't work with adblock on. So your family members will just quietly suffer since they dont know why a site isnt working...


On the plus side, it removes lowers the network traffic by ALOT alongside improving privacy.

@colinl @PierreCol LOL, Google creating a training set to teach computers how to program themselves would be a 4D chess move.

@dsv @redstarfish hmm. I think Leah is a really talented developer and we wouldn't have libreboot without her. I see a large part of the cost of the laptop as thanking her for her hard work.

@chris No worries! Maintaining an instance is hard and it's up to you how much you want to federate. No criticisms there. =)

@chris I think you misunderstood what I wrote. When I said "Login to get the best experience!", I was hating on youtube nagging you to login with your google account - which I dont have.

Peertube is great cause I can post from my pleroma account. What I said wasn't a critique of peertube. It's your choice if you want to federate. I think federation a positive since it allows others to engage and spread your videos but I can understand it requires more moderation.

Nice! gnome-chess works again on postmarketos/alpine. I finally have a game to play when Im waiting idly by.

@chriswere This alongside the "Login to get the best experience!" is really annoying.

Youtube really is terrible and only getting worse.

Hi, Im Anjan. I have been using gnu/linux since 2013. My undergrad was in Mechatronic Systems Engineering and I am currently a Master of Applied Sciences - Electrical and Computer Engineering Student.

In my free time, I like to contribute to free software. Recently, I have been working on improving software for the pinephone. Specifically, writing an operating system called sxmo:

Thank you to the debian social team for setting this up!

Just landed in L.A.
