Stop using Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is moving to remove autonomy from Web users. Excuse me while I purge it from my machines. Please remember - it’s a “open source” “project” (commerically provided product) whose goal is to not to “affect our [Google’s] ability to customize ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business” (from their SEC 10-K filing).
Google Chrome is not built for people; it’s built for Google, by Google. You are their bank.

@Gargron Is it because of time constraints from you? If so, can one volunteer to run it?

One of the many absurdities of capitalism in our technologically advanced world: I have to borrow an eBook from the library and return it so others can borrow it

The struggles of an open source maintainer
Sometimes it feels like "Game of Thrones" premiered, like, a million years ago. Remember the original title sequence?

the tech industry has a really bad habit of just accepting what everyone else is doing as Legit(tm) and not thinking about it, inadvertantly contributing to absolute garbage being propagated everywhere
see: electron, mongodb, the x86 cpu architecture
@Gargron I mean there is a whole lot of people who self-hosts mastodon!
@jalcine it doesn’t really, .eth is on a different root than the rest of DNS. Also Ethereum has a (prototype) light client protocol, so one can fetch only the information required for a lookup from peers. It’s probably better for privacy to have the whole ledger pulled though.

I just love telling the story of how federation works with #ActivityPub by showing a #Peertube video feed in Mastodon, commenting under a video, hen viewing my comment under that video on the Peertube instance.
