Fediverse@lemmy.world•Works On My Machine Live! - Manyfold - Oragnize and Share your 3D Printe Files with the FediverseEnglish
2·2 days agoI don’t have a 3D printer, but I love the Fediverse and wanna show off other people’s creations. James will be talking with me and explaining stuff. So stop by and ask him any questions you have. I’ve been debating running an instance of Manyfold as a general purpose instance, but wanted to do WOMML first. Also I don’t know how much request there would be for it.

Peertube@lemmy.world•France is moving to Linux and FOSS ! Linux Weekly NewsEnglish
1·3 days agoAt this point countries outside of the US see this as a security vulnerability. The EU has mandated open formats. They’re all in on open source. They’re looking to spend more money in open source. Trump certainly did what I was hoping he would do, which was to show the world Big Tech can’t be trusted. They don’t be going back. They want software security, digital sovereignty.
Keep up the food work y’all. We’re changing the course of history.
We’re winning! Keep up the food work everyone. I know the EFF won’t be leaving the Fediverse, so let’s make sure we’re all doing what we can as well!

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon is about to launch its take on Bluesky’s starter packsEnglish
2·4 days agoHave you tried it? I tried the mobile beta when they first announced it last year. I no longer have a Mastodon account though and ATM it only handles Mastodon. I’m on Bonfire. It was brilliant when I first tried it. It really felt line a magazine, which is what they’re going for. According to Mike when I had him on Fireside Fedi.

72·5 days agoIt’s not just Mastodon. MANY open projects are working on theirs as well. Bonfire (as well as others) are working on Circles. Surf has curated feeds. :) It’s built into the Fediverse. ;)

3·6 days agoI was the American that spoke to and asked about allowing government control. I enjoy taking about this stuff. Though EU doesn’t directly affect me, I think we all need to work on this together.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bytescape Fediverse Browser FeedbackEnglish
10·9 days agoVery cool looking and interesting idea.
Why not something like a browser extension?
Have you heard of Fediforum and if so, are you joining? https://fediforum.org/
Where is a good place to talk to you?
I run two podcasts. Fireside Fedi and Works On My Machine Live if you ever want to hop on. Womml is me installing stuff with devs, so understandably probably not that yet.
No matter what, keep up the awesome work. We need everyone to do anything. The web once built with a single piece. It took everyone imagining, designing, building, breaking, etc.
Thank you for taking your time to build for us.
I’m biased, but I recommend my own content! :D

I run TubeFree.org and have created a Peertube chain of trust as well. So I’m pulling in from multiple sources and have an index others can use if they’d like. https://ptindex.btfree.org/
The code is open source so you can also build your own if you’d like. https://git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex
Always looking to add more servers though if anyone has recommendations.

Peertube@lemmy.world•An ELI5 Guide to Getting Started with PeerTubeEnglish
3·22 days agoI’ve actually opened a feature request with the Peertube folks. I don’t expect much honestly at the moment. The Peertube folks lay out their plans and they’ve probably don’t that for the foreseeable future, but having this kind of mechanism, and building it out as you’re suggesting, is what I hope that can be built into Peertube some day.
https://github.com/issues/created?issue=Chocobozzz|PeerTube|7493
I can’t do what you’re suggesting at the index level. But it’s totally valid. We need good tools built into Peertube, or an extension or something, to give us that kind of control.
Honestly I want to eventually come out with lists for like Child Friendly or Music or NSFW or whatever.
But right now what you’re suggesting, it’s completely built based on my guidelines and what I want. Places like MakerTube have reached out to me and given me specific servers that aren’t within our guidelines and I’ve removed them manually from our list, but I hope there comes a day where EVERYONE can share their lists and groups.
And I honestly think that there’s a doc going through the Open Social Web group to allow sharing of groups easier, that this might help Peertube as well.
So the ideas are sound, I don’t have the technical chops to do it, and I think it’d take a lot of work, but I absolutely think this is a valid use case and would benefit us all.
The best I can say, make sure to support Peertube however you can, even a $1 a month helps, so maybe we can help them get more folks to move Peertube along even faster.

Peertube@lemmy.world•An ELI5 Guide to Getting Started with PeerTubeEnglish
9·22 days agoI’d like to throw my mark in here.
I’m the founder of BT Free a nonprofit 501©3 organization that’s attempting to help foster the Fediverse.
I’ve recently came up with an idea of a public Peertube index. You can see it at https://ptindex.btfree.org/ for anyone to use. My idea is that we could have a chain of trust. I trust MakerTube, MakerTube trusts SERVER, therefore I follow SERVER.
But I’d like more folks at the top to share with everyone.
Together we’ll make our network strong. The PTIndex is public, anyone can use it without contributing, I have a script that’s pulling the data from the folks in the chain of trust at https://git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex .

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Atproto is getting an ietf working groupEnglish
1·23 days agoSteaming platforms have worked for quite a while in Linux. Been a while since I had Netflix, but it worked just fine when I did. Disney+ and Hulu work.






















I’ve been in proton for about ten years, I think? I am a paying customer, and one of the first things I did was grab emails for my kids when they were born. But maybe they won’t even need them. You could also just get a domain and have access to all names.
I don’t think it’s a terrible idea, but it feels kind of odd for sure. To each their own though.
