We now have 6 servers dedicated to transcoding/transcribing our Peertube videos videos.trom.tf - thanks to @alexio who is providing 4 of them! Peertube is now a complete replacement for Youtube and I will make sure to push it a lot more in terms of use and promotion! We need to get people to use it, else without content, it won't go anywhere....

Feel free to use our instance!

When you hear me talk about Small Tech and Big Tech or Small Web and Big Web, you might think it’s some sort of contest or something.

It’s really not.

Last year, roughly $315,000,000,000 in venture capital was invested in Big Tech.

Roughly €4,764 (€397 monthly donations to Small Technology Foundation × 12) was invested in Small Tech/Small Web.

That’s 0.000001% of venture capital alone invested in Big Tech.

Statistically, we don’t exist.

We’re a rounding error.

we should have an international "switching software" day, https://switching.software/

Good morning! No trillion-dollar corporation is your friend. Here’s wishing you a lovely day :)

Hey people, wanted to thank you all for supporting TROM every month tromsite.com/donate/ ! We still need a lot more help but little by little maybe we can achieve the 200 for TROM goal! Thank you!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but don’t be the douchebag oiling the gears of fascism.

Tech folks… tech folks need to hear this.

Is it just me or is Ubuntu basically the Windows of Linux now?

There is a lot of reasons to love Mastodon and the Fediverse. One of them is the lack of algorithmic content. It does take a bit longer to get going and build up content providers, but not having a feed full of crap is all worth it!

It is time to invite more of your friends to join us. Invite to your current server or you can invite them to Vivaldi Social! Help them get going. They will thank you!

Newly added to the Trade-Free Directory:

lutris.net

Lutris helps you install and play video games from all eras and from most gaming systems. By leveraging and combining existing emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers, it gives you a central interface to launch all your games.

The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts.
