You know the #fediverse isn’t just #Mastodon, right? :)

Do you live stream? Check out https://owncast.online

It’s a lightweight free and open live-steaming server. (We use it at Small Technology Foundation for our streams at https://owncast.small-web.org)

And you can follow people’s Owncast servers from the fediverse and get notified when they’re about to start streaming, etc. (e.g., hit the follow button on our stream and enter your Mastodon/fediverse account)

I've noticed a small wave of new people making their way to Mastodon from the birdsite.

Here is my brief Mastodon guide for social media worriers that may prove useful for making yourself more at home.

As someone in my discord server said - “the best way to make politicians anti-facial recognition might be to use it on them”.

The web is rotting out. I'm seeing more and more active organizations with broken content, bad links, and out of date websites. But don't worry, their facebook page is up to date!

We paved over the library of alexandria and put a walmart in its place.

@NGIZero “Open Source” for a surveillance capitalist like Google is one or several of four main things:

- The potential to use free labour
- The potential for positive public relations (which, when amplified, will hopefully get people thinking about them as a benevolent philosopher kings instead of the robber barons and people farmers that they are)
- The potential to influence the stack (with tools that function in line with their success criteria)
- The potential to find new talent

What #education did you do for free software and people in your country?

Please share your experience.

Boosts are very appreciated.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #School

People who think "Open Source is thriving, it's everywhere!" and are all optimistic about it are doing the same thing as the people with electric cars and solar panels on their McMansions thinking that we're on track to deal with the climate crisis.

The *real* solutions for a healthy sustainable FLO world are all still marginalized and struggling, and the capitalist #greenwashing and #openwashing serve mainly to delude people about the state of things.
