their algorithm is garbage

Can confirm. It’s engagement bait at its worst

ActivityPub is a W3C standard, though.

Google Play and F-Droid are both available

Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I’m just not able to use it, I’m a disaster.

Wait, this is the description of Anytype! Lol

You can also use their DNS server without having to install anything

OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

Just in case:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

None of those things happened with Bandcamp

You’re probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.

They are usually ridden with ads, but it’s not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons

Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

Is this true? Where can I read more about it?

While I kinda like what Bellingcat does, you do have a point. Crowdsourcing decisions rarely lead to good outcomes

But it looks like Proton does not choose the beneficiaries. From their statement:

‘Recipients are nominated by the Proton community and selected based on community feedback. Proton doesn’t nominate the recipients. Recipients cannot be changed after the raffle begins and the fact that some find Bellingcat controversial was not known beforehand.

GUYS, IT’S HAPPENING

Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff

EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It’s possibly the best piece of software I’ve ever tried

Still awesome!

Speaking more than one language. Being from Switzerland, we’re required to study 2 languages (+ our native one) at school. So it’s not infrequent to encounter swiss people who speak 4+ languages

AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function
