Born of star dust. Prone to foss wrapped philosophy. Devourer of cell walled organisms. Dispenser of utterly dispensable life advice. Utterly absurd... And you?
Github is now a fully owned, proprietary tool of Microsoft.
It's time to decide.
Do we as a community allow our future to depend upon commercial interests of a company that to this day spreads FUD and minimizes our impact when it suits their plans?
Or do we step up, do what we do best and take our code to somewhere created by the us for us and the good of the community?
This isn't about hating Microsoft. It's about loving our own sovereignty and controlling our *own* future.

Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:
1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

Question: How many #federated, #activitypub based #microblogging services does it take to change the world?
Answer: All of them.
102% to fund #PeerTube v1.
Y'all are wonderful crazy people: THANK YOU!
Now, we have 12 days left to realize our most crazy dreams for PeerTube: https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform/wall#100-vous-venez-de-donner-un-avenir-a-peertube-mais-lequel
PeerTube fundraiser!
A free and federated video platform.
YouTube (Google) recently blocked Blender videos worldwide (!) for monetizing reasons. Blender did not want to put up ads in their videos. Blender is a free and open source 3D creation suite.
PeerTube works in the same way as a regular BitTorrent client. Take back the control of your videos! Let's help Peertube to achieve this.

My raspberrypi arrived at 12:30, by 13:30 I had @yunohost up and running and the ports of my router set up!
The next step, installing some apps. Mysql was not running but a quick ask to the amazing community and in less than 30min I already had an answer. Now i have my own selfhosted cloud!!!
What an amazing soft and even better community.

Creating new things is the most fun.
Apparently I can't email hotmail addresses anymore. My IP and domain aren't listed on spamhaus. I have no idea why I'm being rejected and I don't see any recourse to find out.
I hate the centralization of email :(
When are we going to see the ability to install #Yunohost apps from sources other than GitHub? Personally I'd love to see the ability to just enter a Git repo URL instead.
