Wow.
"...The white supremacists... at the Malheur Refuge... were occupying federal land. The water protectors at Standing Rock, were being arrested for trespassing on private land. The issue wasn't that white people were being treated differently than Indians. I think to maintain that us, them, Indian White, Cowboys and Indians, discourse is to miss the larger point that the federal government privileges private property above almost everything else. That's the problem."

Hello from our new home. Nice to see that a #Mastodon migration works quite well.

Thanks to @Anoxinon for hosting us.

This interesting presentation, invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v= or youtube.com/watch?v=eqSi8ojaO4 , from the 2022 Shlaer-Mellor Days conference, demonstrates the advantages of using data-centric vs state-centric models.

Fortunately there's a way around it, but why hasn't Mozilla fixed this?

all right gang, as things continue to stabilise with Co-op Cloud (both the catalogue of app "recipes", and the `abra` command-line tool) — if there were to be a step-by-step on deploying a couple of apps (potentially including Single Sign-On?), would you prefer to see a:

@GuerillaOntologist How he failed to hold up Microsoft Windows as his example boggles my mind. Maybe it's because he is obviously a Windows user, and doesn't want to expose his own limitations.

Our lovely dystopia 

The FSFE’s technical infrastructure is 100% Free Software. New in the game are our Peertube instance and Matrix server. Read about our system in our yearly report: fsfe.org/news/2022/news-202209

@stux @andijah People please... donate to your instance admins! They run these services out of the goodness of their hearts and are true heroes!
If everyone on the instance just donated ONE EUR/GBP/USD... a month then it would go a looooong way to keeping the instance secure into the future.

Now...single instance users, you interact with these instances right? So why not donate to them so your contacts using these instances can be kept online for as long as can be!?

(to be clear and a little boastful, yes I do donate to mstdn.social, even though I don't use it directly. I also donate to other larger instances I interact with - I want all these people to talk to!)

mstdn.social has 6170 active users

With so many users it should be easy to cover the costs of the server

@stux has repeatedly been asking for donations, but people don't donate enough

A 'tragedy of the commons' seems to happens on donation-based servers

Here's Stux latest call for donations: mstdn.social/@stux/10918355556

Think of it, 6000 people should be able to cover the missing 257 € in a second - but they don't

The funding-model of the #Fediverse is broken. We must do something to fix it.
