@Matter @AaronTheIssueGuy one side: a startup fighting against bigtech and lacklustre regulatory bodies to empower users and creators using decentralized tech. The other, misinformed users blaming the startup as a pyramid/ponzi scheme. Who should I root for 🤔 ?

So I spent the last few hours on taking pictures of cats with the rear camera of my Librem 5. Yep, that's my job now. #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile #cat #caturday
All credit for the camera support goes to Dorota, Martin and Angus: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/44#note_148408 @merge @purism
@goatwildernesscollective @purism I use the openvpn app on my Linux and windows machines using librem tunnel's .ovpn config. I don't have an iOS device but I would expect it should work as long as iOS supports openvpn apps. Checkout docs.puri.sm, especially the "librem one > generic" section on how to setup openvpn for librem tunnel

If you're going to publish a book, you get an ISBN.
Imagine a global catalog not just for books, but all publishing.
And imagine if that catalog wasn't owned by big corporate publishers, but by the creators themselves.
That's the LBRY protocol.

"me in the morning, right after I turned the switches on"
This may not be the most impressive winter selfie (it's a 8M sensor outputting 0.3M after all), but you got to start somewhere :) #librem5
I did nothing but taking the photo (looped in a script with v4l2-ctl and dcraw; then displayed on screen using Eye of GNOME) - all the credit goes to Dorota and Martin, and the work continues there: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/43

Linux content creator @art (Arthur Reeder) got a strike from YT just because he made a video about #foss software NewPipe... in 2017! 🤨

@jgarciao @brainblasted @gnome Yes I was using fedora before. But since a couple of years I had to switch to debian based distros because some software I need is distributed as a .deb file. I wish I could switch back to Fedora.
@brainblasted @gnome I relly wish GNOME releases this as a distribution that consumers can use and not just for developers who want to test. I like vanilla GNOME but getting that on Ubuntu/popos is a pain. There is always some UI elements mixed with their own tweaks. The closest alternative is Debian stable but one has to wait forever to get updates on it. I tried Debian testing but it is quite unstable as expected every couple of months.
@smt absolutely, opting not to consume is not a wierd phenomenon. But I found @sotolf@fosstodon.org 's comment of "not something I want to support, not matter how floss it is" since crypto/right content exists on lbry data network a bit weird though.
@sotolf@fosstodon.org @smt I find the ideology of not supporting a technology just because "someone I don't like is using it" to be a bit weird.
@smt #lbry is not targeting any specific audience. They are targeting a censorship free platform. Since crypto and far-right are often censored on mainstream a lot of them joined #lbry and hence they are trending for now. As more people join wider content will show up in the trending page. Also you can follow a bunch of tags you are interested in and check the trending for tags, which I find very useful than just looking at what is trending for everyone.

@wdavery @wonderingdane@fosstodon.org @LinuxLounge @lbry The way #LBRY protocoal is designed, every desktop app user is pretty much a self hosted instance on #LBRY. lbry@lbry.world provides some servers to help seed content as most users expect it to work like a centralized platform where they upload stuff and forget about it.
