@amolith I voted "Link to it" as I believe that would give better exposure to his PeerTube channel, and PeerTube itself in general.

I appreciated this video because he is articulate, insightful, and talks about how to improve the world in a more subtle way than you may have heard before.

This is the kind of git commit messages I would like to write: https://dhwthompson.com/2019/my-favourite-git-commit
@aral @dsfgs It's a tough one. The likes of Twitter and Facebook might be able to hire enough moderators to get libel (etc) taken down. but small "social media" platforms (like Mastodon) wouldn't really be able to keep up. In theory, 230 helps protect those little guys. In practice, it unfortunately allows the big guys to get away with too much.
I totally agree that individually owned and controlled spaces is the ultimate answer. The road to get there for non-techies isn't clear to me ... yet.
@dsfgs @aral There are better definitions at the EFF -- https://www.eff.org/search/site/230 -- but the tl;dr is that it is a US law that basically says that the company that host content are not liable for what that content says.
In other words, if I post libel on Twitter, you can bring legal action against me, but you can't bring that legal action against Twitter.

@jan@geekcompass.com I always get it coming along for the ride when installing Node.js. That always seemed to be the easiest way.

Need to send encrypted emails? #Nextcloud mail uses browser add-in Mailvelope for this, and the latest Mail release improves the integration of this add-in.

Modest suggestion: next time you plan on buying some luxury item (starbucks, a video game, a dinner out, etc), consider donating that amount to an open source project that you love. Not every time - you can have that frappachino tomorrow - but just this time, let's give back to FOSS.

@amolith Following the "Learn about the 1.0 Release" link on their homepage, the even more interesting part is Open VSX ( https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx ) as an alternative to the walled-garden Visual Studio Marketplace.

@chmod777 I have VPS servers with both Digital Ocean and with Linode. I voted for the former, since I have had that VPS for longer.
