The Case Against the Fediverse
(Mastodon, StatusNet, Librem Social, etc.)

https://odysee.com/@Lunduke:e/CaseAgainstTheFediverse:9

There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.

Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.

There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science

https://fediscience.org/invite/j6X8z7qF

Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.

Parler Tricks: Making Software Disappear

"Regardless of how you feel about Parler, an important thing to note is that this is far from the first time, nor will it be the last time, that Google and Apple remove controversial software from their stores. "

Modern cloud platforms are essentially giant proprietary server OSes, so is Parler's difficulty in coming back online due to finding hosting, or is it due to using so many proprietary AWS features, switching providers is like porting server software from Solaris to Windows NT?

Anyone here hosting their own matrix.org server?

Seems like the better alternative to #WhatsApp #telegram #signal

Merry Christmas Eve y'all!

Because you've been a good nerd this year, here's a little gift:

Issue #2 of The Lunduke Journal is free to download!

Paper doll of Tux the Penguin. Color by number Bill Gates. Articles and comics about DOS. Nerdy & happy.

I feel like I should reiterate that the best coronavirus stimulus policy would be ending the lockdowns, letting people go back to work, and passing laws that prevent the government from ever doing this again.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I would like to download software
With a license that is freed

I just want code for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is GNU

And here I thought I would never agree with her on anything ever.

Every American left and right should be calling for a #VETO of this stimulus “deal”— which provides MORE funding to foreign governments and to American arts centers, than to the American people.

RETWEET so EVERY American sees how corrupt the Covid-19 “relief” packing is.
