@Suiseiseki I like a strategic language approach better than correct language. For example it is often very good to use "Free Software" especially with English speakers, because it confuses people enough to make them ask questions.

@Suiseiseki @rms @eriner@noauthority.social Hmm... There are 3 levels to it. The Fediverse, the Activity Pub itself. And every little service built on those. Like Mastodon.

Similar to how there is GNU / Linux, the Linux kernel, or something like Ubuntu or Trisquel, or Debian, or Arch.

The fact that #software is #proprietary by default is wrong. It should be #FreeSoftware ( as in #libre ) by default and there should not be a way to make software proprietary.

@Suiseiseki Ah... The API for the petition requests the channel subscribers, not the account subscribers. The channel is the one with the _

@Suiseiseki perhaps we need to make an issue / feature request to framasoft to make a simpler HTML-only view that it will fallback to if JS is not running.

@Suiseiseki it is peertube. You can follow it from any other fediverse.

Also peertube JS is libre, just not very LibreJS compatible.

Literally 5 people left for this petition to finally end. 5 people! That's all there is.

And then I could finally start a petition for the new updates of #DanisRace

@Suiseiseki Fixed!

@Suiseiseki I cannot reproduce this error.

Meta ( allegedly ) tried to hire 3D artists to justify in court that 3D art is apparently so easy and quick to make, that it is uncopyrightable, so they could not ask for permission from 3D artists for training their AI.

@Suiseiseki Sorry, my bad. My tor connection wasn't working lol.

Why is nobody commenting on the website?

News came to me via Mastodon ( a Free / Libre Social Media platform ) that apparently Australian government just banned Social Media to a certain demographic of people and the consensus is that it is apparently a good thing. Social Media tends to be very bad these days. Due to enshitification and mass surveillance of platforms such as Facebook and...

The #WaybackMachine started caching my website, so I got some data about how it works. It doesn't send anything useful about itself in the UserAgent, but there is an additional Via header, where it describes itself.

I train my website to spot it and not count those request into views.

#DancerInTheDark is very #LarsVonTrier but it is also very #Bjork -esk in the same time.

Like, really... How are the purple onions purple?

@bullivant

1. There is no objective measure. They will have to train their critical thinking brains for this to even have a chance at working.

2. We don't ask Musk or Zuck. Some countries already have one form or another of this kind of thing. We can implement this in some Europian countries first, to pressure the US to adopt.

@bullivant I don't know how facebook or anybody could do something about it, while also not doing something about actual fiction which is false 100%.

I believe a better solution would be to have a "Fact Checking" lessons in school curriculum. Where you are given a laptop ( which schools already have plenty of ), a post of some kind. And you need to find out if it is true to false. By going to the internet and investigating.

That even could be a fun lesson for the kids.
