Fedfree is live! https://fedfree.org/

Fedfree is a website aimed at teaching people how to run their own servers, of various kinds, on libre operating systems e.g. Linux and BSD. It aims to do this, using libre software exclusively, teaching people about the importance of libre software and hardware as it pertains to freedom; the right to use, study, adapt, share. The right to read. Universal access to knowledge… education. Education is the goal.

One tutorial so far, but more are coming.

"You can keep your Windows 11 and macOS Ventura on your PCs. On my desktop, what I want is open-source Linux. In particular, I want Linux Mint. Why? Because, it's free, easy to use, and far more secure than its proprietary rivals": Linux Mint 21.1: The better-than-ever Linux desktop https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-mint-21-1-the-better-than-ever-linux-desktop/

I had a great time merging work and fun for this week's @reality2cast. My very knowledgeable teammate @eze_lanza lent his extensive #AI expertise and filled in so much we would have missed otherwise. I think we did this conversation about #ChatGPT justice. 🤩 Thanks, Eze!

Journalist profiles on the Washington Post can now include Mastodon links. Here's what it looks like: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/drew-harwell/

Yesterday evening I was lucky to be able to climb to the top of Chester Cathedral to take this photograph and mark the winter solstice. The view extends out to North Wales and the most prominent building is the Town Hall. #wintersolstice #chester #chestercathedral #chestertownhall #storyhouse #cheshire #northwales

A perfect illustration of why one shouldn’t clean the garden in autumn. A flock of goldfinches has feasted on last summer’s rudbeckia seed pods every morning. #climatechange is melting all the snow. #Birds #Gardening #nature

BREAKING: The Taliban have banned women from universities.

This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don't respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.

An irregular reminder that calling this place "Mastodon" has a bit similar energy as saying "I just sent you a GMail."

"Fediverse" (or "fedi") is a better term.

Mastodon is just one of many software projects that talk to each other to create this multi-instance social network:

(kudos to @axbom for this fantastic infographic!)

There are blogs, Reddit-like communities, video instances and many more, all part of fedi.
