I just spent over NZ$20 for two tubs of plain yoghurt (one plant-based), a compostable toothbrush, and a tube of fluoride-free toothpaste. NZ$20 is about 10% of what kiwis have to live on each week when we are unemployed or too sick to work. Ethical consumption is a luxury not everyone can easily afford in Aotearoa in 2020.

I just proposed a LibrePlanet2021 talk! Let's see if it gets accepted? If I need to expand on what I gave for Pheonix Linux User Group?

I'm looking for a livecoder who would be part of an under-represented demographic, for a well paying orca gig. If you know anyone who would be a good candidate? Hit me up :)

@civodul I exported a couple of documents from org-mode and Libreoffice and looked at those to figure most of it out! It's mostly a zipfile with xml files inside. content.xml is the HTML equivalent, styles.xml is the CSS equivalent. If you need images, you can include them in an Images/ subdir and reference them in MANIFEST/manifest.xml and then in your content.xml.

That's it mostly. Most of it is then just paragraph and heading tags and text.

@civodul It's not as complicated as it seems... the spec just seems incredibly overwhelming, but so too does the HTML (4.X, we dare not mention 5) spec if you try to read it top to bottom. Learning by example and the consulting the spec when clarity is needed in both cases turns out to be the best case to learn for both html and ODT :)

Some good news from the US elections today :)

A lot of people for a lot of different reasons would appreciate kindness today. Be kind.

These same points apply for Rhapsode. Except autoplaying video, I don't and won't support that!

Still for everyone's sake, don't autoplay video!

I like to advise people against watching mainstream entertainment. Don't give them your time, money, or attention!

This started in response to the major publishers not wanting us to own our computers for fear of "piracy". Their insistance on me running "DRM" I don't trust!

But as I began finding alternatives, it became clear how limited American media really is! I'm seeing more gender divirsity, anti-capitalism, & better scientific understanding outside the mainstream!

@requiem when i tried it years ago it was a bloated electron app that took like an hour to start up. not an exaggeration. it was doing some kinda indexing i think.

i think a video distribution platform should look something like PeerTube + SecSB. efficient distribution with no regard to IP law, because IP law sucks and does not deserve the electricity and computational power wasted on it, but backed by something more decentralized than DNS for identifying content.
would be cool to see this done with NDN too.

but also, i never dug very deeply into LBRY and it's been a few years since i tried it, so hopefully they have improved since then.

@spacekookie @cblgh Personally my attitude tends to be:

Don't worry about the hate getting hosted. Worry about it getting shared!

Search & discovery must be curated, I have no patience for anyone who's excited for peer-to-peer unmanaged search like Yacy.
