We're going to livestream the installation of a new PieFed instance
The trainwreck is the fun part imo! :) It means we all get to learn so much! Also! DUDE! There's events in Piefed? I see the "Add to calendar" button. That's awesome! SO EXCITED to do this. :)

Looking back at decentralized conversations before the platform web
Reply in thread
NodeBB is the answer. NodeBB bridges the Fediverse and Threadiverse. It allows conversations from all sides.
I will state though that this is the goal of the Fediverse. It shouldn't matter which software you use. You should still be able to engage in a conversation no matter where you are. And we're getting there. :)

The circle of life
Literally was in a presentation at work the other day where they said someone used 2 million tokens and the next person used 1 million and they were so excited by it.
I didn't get it. I asked went 2 million was better than 1 million. The VP basically said it's not, just costs us more money.
So why the hell is the presentation acting like it's a fucking victory?

Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years
And he'll still be a billionaire. And he got that money by suppressing the world with proprietary software. He's single handedly helped hold humanity back. I don't care the good he's done as it's built on the back of all the harm he's done.

id Software insists in new statement that it still has "the crew we need to build the games and tech we're known for"
Yeah, we just laid off all the engine people we use to build the games we're known for.
And now we're moving to an engine none of us knows and isn't ours. What's the worst that can happen?
Totally certain Microsoft will be a good steward and give them time and money to completely transition to ...
The person writing this post has been sacked ...
The person that was writing about the sacking has been sacked. There are five lights.

Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach
Kernel anticheat is a virus. There are zero reasons a video fame should have full access of your system.

Mastodon is about to launch its take on Bluesky’s starter packs
It'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. ;)

Rick Moranis Officially Ends Retirement for ‘Spaceballs 2,’ Sequel Announces Full Cast as Filming Starts
I'm SUPER excited, but also VERY concerned. So I'll be cautiously optimistic. But seeing the new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson, though a completely unrelated project, I'm hopeful that today's Hollywood might actually be able to pull this off.

Go Away Microsoft! The Netherlands is Quietly Building Its Own GitHub Replacement
Reply in thread
Digital sovereignty. Codeberg is funding development of forgejo. Forgejo will federate to other instances. So you can have your own repo and someone on another forgejo can interact remotely. So no need for centralized platforms anymore. Power of the Fediverse! :-)

From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT
What? You mean digital art that infinitely reproducible, can't actually be owned, WASN'T the next big thing? Oh jeez. I hope the metaverse succeeds and if not then AI surely will RIGHT?!?!

Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”
So we've moved on from Woke finally and just calling everything terrorist now? At least I won't have to ask everyone saying "everything is so woke now" to define woke and watch them sputter.

Lemmy.world Is Anti‑Humanity. How Its Admins Weaponized Defederation to Silence Palestine Solidarity
Lemmy.world is run by Ruud, a man that lives in the Netherlands. He does not have the same legal protections as say Reddit. He has to obey his laws in his country. Looking up Netherlands laws, it would seem to me that having any user named "Murder all " is literally against the law in the Netherlands. So he has two choices. Literally risk going to prison, or having to take it down.
The brilliance of the Fediverse, as you realize because you've posted this on Piefed, anyone can create a server and build their own connections.
I'm against hurting anyone, but I'm in the US, where people have that right to say those things. Ruud isn't.
These servers have specific rules for their communities for a reason. Most aren't here to make money. No one is paying Ruud to keep people in power. He doesn't even have to run ANY service, but he is. Because he believes in the Fediverse. But he's still bound by his laws and it's his server.
I've spoken to Ruud on an episode. He's a lovely man that doesn't deserve this hate.
I understand the frustration. Lemmy.world is a large instance where there are tons of people, but you don't know the laws.
I'm not denying the censorship at all. I'm not denying that we need to speak out for Palestinians. But he HAS to follow his country's laws or there will be no services. And when you say ggod that's what you want, the more servers shut down, the more people will turn away. The more people are forced back to big tech where they will censor you to protect their investment. Reddit IS protected by that speech under section 230, but they'll still censor it.
The best you can do, start your own instance. It's possible it might be blocked by Lemmy.world if your server is breaking their rules. But at least you can get your message out.

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto
I recommend Peertube. There's not much there yet, but myself and others are trying.
Also, did you know you can upload your video to Peertube and have YouTube pull it via RSS? That's what I'm doing!
All of my stuff you'll find on Peertube and I don't have to do anything else to get it up on YouTube.
