I'm glad to be wrong.

I hadn't tracked that Ubuntu Touch had bumped up the Fairphone 4s and 5s to advanced support, that's really cool, glad to see how far that's improved (it had been awhile since Iast checked). PMOS still lists the 4 and 5 as community & test levels not main level, still listing only partial support for camera and phone calls. That being said, looks like they're further along too than I thought too.

I hadn't heard of the fp6 leaks either, those are definitely better stats, thanks for the heads up!

I have similar thoughts and really hope the Liberux Nexx gets sustainable production and doesn't die off like so many other promissing kickstarters and indiegogos.

Right now the Librem 5 would be the closest of things actually produced but its starting to be outdated already in specs (starting to suck) and no way to upgrade. Its also US based which would make it a nonstarter for many reading in this here.

Fairphone is cool but the mobile non-Android Linux ports are still a bit behind. The specs aren't really flagship level either, but I wouldn't say the 5's "suck" yet even if they're midrange. I haven't played with /e/os but it could be a neat combo since they have the partnership.

What are you targeting of things that are being built today?

If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

I don't have much to say except I love the amount of effort you put into that comment! Thanks for making the fedi awesome!

Granted this law was more clear cut with 14, 16, and 18 being the dividing lines, but it definitely fails to concisely define social media.

The other issue is how do you verify age, and that has been another difficult question if you think people should have reasonable expectations of privacy and aren't comfortable with the "enter your birthyear" forms.

The main difficulty is defining social media in a way that doesnt restrict other modern communication, education, idea publication, operating a business, shopping, sharing ideas, etc.

Should such laws block Etsy, your family's Nextcloud, a school ran web forum that only students/parents/faculty can access, Crash Course on YouTube, encrypted communication between your family, etc?

The other difficulty is defining the term "children" consistently. Many US states have simple categories that go all the way to 18, if not later.

Should there be a difference in laws for access for toddlers, elementary ages, and adolescents?

If you think these are easy questions, I suggest you look at the dialog around the UK's Online Safety Act where they are having to answer these questions after the fact.

No. The internet and the later WWW have been so instrumental in my life there is no way I'd have not had been influenced differently.

I've worked through so many arguments and unsafe questions in online spaces that simply wouldn't have been possible in the very conservative areas I grew up. I'd likely have had to seek answers with out groups and ended up elsewhere adding to my changed influences. I'd have likely had a very different career path too.

I'm faithful that I'd have ended up in the same religion but it'd have taken a much darker journey to get there.

What strategies did you find most successful in earning your NLNet and other grants?

[–] neblem@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Not Framasoft, but here's a few ideas on monetizing:

The software allows you to post a "Support" button under the video with links for donations, etc. It also allows you to upload platform member only (internal) and password protected videos that you could charge access via another means to unlock.

Plugins can be added by admins to add monetization more directly as well. For example https://github.com/kontrollanten/peertube-plugin-premium-users is an attempt adds the ability to have premium videos with Stripe as the payment processor/verifier.

Admins can also soft fork and add in whatever customizations to enable monetization too as long as they adhere to the AGPL terms.

Do larger one-time or smaller monthly donations help your organization more?

[–] neblem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Also not Framasoft, but for your search question their Sepia Search https://sepiasearch.org/ would be your best bet to get hits across known Peertube instances/platforms.

Your favorite Peertube instance/platform has its own front page, and they've done a bit of work in the Android app to have an explore tab to have similar across its tracked instances.

Neat to see more tools like this out there.

Great for any retromachines that can't / won't run the modern web (and things like Lynx and EWW) and accessibility purposes.

I'll have to take a look at how it's parsing the pages. Brow.sh is usually my goto for these use cases, but that's using a whole Firefox to do the rendering.

 

Its been a few weeks, but I didn't see any post about it here. In case you aren't following the emacs-devel list, Eli Zaretskii, the current MS-Windows maintainer, is asking for anyone to take over day to day issue management and supporting the port as he's wanting to step down from the role.
