@strypey I suspect there's some international hidden school that undercover teaches all developers and nerds to subconsciously wish to name every second project, plugin, book they're working on either Matrix or something connected to spiders. At best pick a Greek mythology association. For FOSS - don't forget to prefix it with "libre". And 7000+ world languages with millions of available words be like: 🤦

Here's another software naming collision that's likely to cause a bit of confusion down the line ...

Could Copyleft licensing be just what the Internet of Things needs? We've got @phoddie joining us in chat today at 2pm ET/6pm UTC in #conservancy today to discuss his #CopyleftConf talk on this topic. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/mar/12/virtualchat/

Expanding the Patriot Act to allow warrantless surveillance of browsing activity threatens everyone's right to privacy. As a Swiss company, Proton is not subject to US law, and the encryption we use in ProtonMail, @protonvpn, and @ProtonCalendar helps keep your data private. https://newrepublic.com/article/157693/congress-may-hand-bill-barr-keys-online-life

In our third instalment of the tech behind #CoronaVirus apps, we look at how GPS 🛰️ can be used against #COVID19 (spoiler alert: it won't be through proximity tracking!)

@tomosaigon @strypey This essentially goes back to the "1) Get rid of all unnecessary JavaScript" point.

And when it comes to "streaming", I think viewers need the option to download movies/shows they particularly like and will rewatch. Unfortunately capitalism often gets in the way of these efficiencies...

Recommending alternative entertainment is one measure you can take, I do!

@tomosaigon agreed, but every little bit counts, especially for users on dial-up, rural ADSL, or metered mobile data. As the old saying goes, if you take care of the cents, the dollars will take care of themselves. If everyone points to another resource waster as an excuse to keep wasting resources, nothing will change.

3) localize servers. Where servers are needed, host them as close as possible to where their users are. Eg NZOSS hosts all its services at the CatalystCloud.nz datacentre in Aotearoa, because most of the people using them are located here. If all network services aimed at kiwis did that, it would significantly reduce the traffic on the cables connecting Aotearoa to the rest of the world's networks.

2) make software and storage local-first as much as possible.

* again, more use of generic native apps
* increase the use of browser cache and persistent storage, to avoid the same data being downloaded over and over again on the same sites.
* make it easy to download media, rather than streaming it over and over again.

#LocalFirst

Some examples:
1) Get rid of all unnecessary Javascript
* rebuild all simple brochureware sites as static sites using only HTML/CSS.
* increase the use of native apps to reduce the avoidable transmission of web apps. Generic, multi-account ones implementing open protocols, not branded ones tied to nonfree services.
* get rid of all user tracking and ad serving

A piada era: Qual ator interpretou um cantor famoso? Samuel é o Jackson.

si, @skrlet13 ya hay mucas intactas de #peertube muy buenas y otras posibilidades y la monetizacion por youtube ya o es viable para la mayoría, por otro lado, si es tu medio de trabajo o negocio, deberías tranquilamente tener tu propia instancia de peertube o pagarle alguna para que te aloje , si piensas que gafam te va a permitir realmente sacar ganancias sin invertir prepara la vaselina :)

@abdhessuk @pinkhole Monetizar (cosa que quines pretenden dedicarse a tiempo completo a producir contenidos merecen) y hacerlo fuera del capitalismo es muy complicado, pero plataformas como #peertube que funcionalmente ya hab superado a #youtube ya tenemos, solo que hay un mito de que solo por publicar en #youtube ya te ve más gente y como la mitología es cosa de fe no hay con que darle.

Señoras y señores, por si fuera poco, por el mismo módico precio precio #youtube está obligando a ver más publicidades y más largas además de estar tocando el API para dificultar los usos extremos a su sitio web o propias aplicaciones.

¿Sigue sin ser suficiente para que los creadores de contenido usen plataformas no-gafam?

La cesura y desmonetizacion indiscriminada no nos suficientes, veremos esto.

Remember, there is a generation that don't see nothing wrong here.

Boost if you get it ;)

Privacidad o salud: ¿el nuevo susto o muerte?

La crisis sanitaria provocada por la pandemia COVID-19 ha acelerado la implantación de tecnologías de Inteligencia Artificial para vigilar a la población argumentando que así se frenarán los contagios. Pero, ¿cómo nos pueden ayudar exactamente? Y ¿hasta dónde nos dejaríamos vigilar a cambio de una supuesta protección de nuestra salud?
