@artificialphilosopher nice, though honestly all I really want to know is what messaging services these authors use themselves.

@jeremiahlee @okpierre brilliant, I would love to see this as well

@calebccff @normandc @postmarketOS maybe it’s just my mastodon client, but the hyperlink doesn’t include the last parenthesis and thus looks broken. Anyone using the link make sure it include that last parenthesis

@okpierre I know some won't agree, but I think the Fedi needs more monetization. I'm not talking VC funding or anything, but just creative ways for projects to monetize so that they can be sustained. So that developers and maintainers can develop expertise in the technology, and do this as more than a hobby. I mean nothing wrong with people contributing as a hobby. But being able to dedicate more time would allow more great things to be created in the Fediverse.

Such a great read. "Secret codes. Legal threats. Betrayal. How one couple built a device to fix McDonald’s notoriously broken soft-serve machines—and how the fast-food giant froze them out." https://www.wired.com/story/they-hacked-mcdonalds-ice-cream-makers-started-cold-war/

Hi @cwebber@octodon.social @fossandcrafts I recently listened to the Foss & Crafts episode 27 on Game Design and Social Systems. I thought you might enjoy this article by a BU professor about how Mario Kart can teach us to reduce world poverty - from the mechanic where in last place you get powerful items while in first place you just get banana peels, in order to keep everyone in the race.

@kev thanks for the insight. Love your blog and writing btw

@kev Question for you, what software do you use for your blog at https://kevq.uk/blog/ ? Is it wordpress, and do you have thoughts on wordpress vs write.as?

@jeremiahlee I’ve finished season 2 but still working my way through

@jonw@hackers.town I really like the techlore VPN reviews. https://techlore.tech/vpnreview.html

They also have some accompanying YouTube videos

@sean This is a fantastic idea. There is a trend now of YouTubers moving off that site to better control their own content and monetization: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55349255

I always thought PeerTube would be the perfect tool to facilitate that trend, so I think you are on to something and at a good moment.

YTers who don't even know about PeerTube could be into this. Could be worth reaching out to some and inviting them to cross-post videos to the instance as a start.

@lightweight Oh that is interesting!
