I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.
Not for sale.
Pixelfed belongs to the people.
I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.
That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.
It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.
Are you with me?

I bet their brains broke, whenever I meet with some idiot who thinks everything is for sale I can't help but pity them. They are so poor they only have money and think that is and will be enough.
Poor sad bastards.
"We aim to be the first Fediverse app with a billion people"
I'm supportive of the effort, but this is a bit cringe.
that sounds familiar. Don't get business cards with "I'm CEO, b*tch." on them, though.
If you decide to go with a German eG, eV (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registโฆ ), Swiss or European equivalent (had a French name, I think) and need people to sign the founding contract, I'd be happy and honored to join.
I'm afraid I can't support you until you fix the Loops ToS.

Been a while. Iโve mostly been posting on the Fedi, but I feel like this is a rather important topic that requires attention. Recently @dansup has been posting a bunch about loops.video, a federated alternative to Instagram/ TikTok.bajsicki.com
"bro", find yourself some humility. "Chats" with VCs are a dime a dozen, and you literally compared yourself to Jobs earlier today. I hope you're going to bring on some actual people with actual ethics to make that ethical development thing happen...
Take it down a notch. The excessive self-promotion and ego is going to be your downfall.
Thank you for sticking to your guns. Keep trudging on, the community has your back.

this is a super decision. ๐
Follow Mastodon's trajectory and opportunity to do one better, where a collective commons helps share the burdens as well as the joys. With community to delegate the chores, and help foster and guarantee pixelfed and loop's long-term sustainably. Increase the bus factor, before you burn out. A single person is not invincible, a united movement might be.
If funded, can you tell us who will own the assets to pixelfed and loops?
Who will make day to day decisions about policy and development?

Does your tos give you ownership of the content uploaded and the ability to use it however? You start off saying emphatically NO but a continued reading says the opposite.
Note: this was found and pointed out by another user. Since they did not post here I am choosing not to tag them in. I simply followed the information and confirmed what was on the loops site.
loops.video/help-center/frequeโฆ
wouldn't a Patreon or such make more sense long-term tho?
Either way, I'm in ๐
"Pixelfed, Loops and more" - you're developing something besides Pixelfed and Loops? Wow.
Small grammar mistake on Kickstarter: "Beautiful sharing platforms that puts you first." Either single "platform" or verb in plural "put".
I think it's the first time I read there's a "Pixelfed Foundation". I thought it was mostly just you. And the contact email is a dot com address, instead of using the existing .org domain?
I'm curious about Pixelfed's path forward! Looking forward to it.
@marionline I've finished my next story in time to start posting it on Tuesday -- it's not the biggest buffer I've ever had in terms of page count, but at nine weeks, it might be the furthest I've ever worked ahead.

After major 2024 defeats, the Democratic Party searches for a new direction
The Democratic Party begins 2025 with several looming questions. Among them: who will lead its national party apparatus, and how it will handle President-elect Donald Trump's second term.

We had a most wonderful first meetup of the year this Thursday at Taiste. The talks and hallway discussions were so captivating that we forgot to toot about it.
Ilkka Vuorio opened the night by talking about Jupyter and Marimo notebooks and how to deal with them better when using git for version control.
@jpakkane introduced us to Meson build tool and CapyPDF generator he has built.
FInally, @hugovk brought us the newest updates from the Python ecosystem.
It was a wonderful evening, thanks to everyone who joined.
Our next event is Thu 13.2., more info later.

Earlier this week an opinion piece authored by me and a number of great colleagues was published on the @upstream blog. Our piece introduces criteria for innovation-friendly bibliographic databases doi.org/10.54900/d3ck1-skq19.
We express our deep concerns about the treatment of @eLife by the #WebOfScience and #Scopus databases. We see this as an example of databases hindering rather than supporting innovation in scholarly communication and research assessment.

#App is overloaded to meaninglessness.
@cwebber once wrote a fine paper on #petname systems. The word "app" should become a pet name that one chooses where it suits as convenient and intuitive personal concept. Someone else might prefer the word "foo" or "bar" if that resonates better.
If we do the same with "platform", then mankind will have made progress.
...I'm pretty sure that petnames are about nicknames in a contact list, not about any noun in a dictionary
files.spritely.institute/paperโฆ
seeing as you need common words to express things like "browser" "computer" or "ipv6",
vs petnames like "Alice's friend Dave"
@risottobias
If you want them to be that, and that is useful to me. There are other users, like indicating the name of your dog or cat ;p
Just kidding. The more serious yet still #showerthought'y idea is that in so many discussions the word "app" flies around with everyone having a different understanding what that means. Esp. in R&D contexts where it becomes a dogmatic concept that may hamper innovation.
Both in technical as well as conceptual space I'd prefer 'app-free computing'.
@risottobias
An example is Solid talking about "Solid Apps". Then if you look what they are you find a bunch of JS projects. Or you may start to wonder "Does Solid wants us to rewrite all existing apps into Solid apps to reach their technology adoption ambition?" and stuff like that.
On fedivers an app can mean the server project, while a non-tech fedizen thinks about a client and gets confused. Etc.
App is in the eye of the beholder.
tangential to this,
I have a concept in spec called "decals", which are hashtags with a short description and a wiki article attached to them, curated by a group (they're non-global, group defined tags).
for example `#wiki:cats@wikipeeps@@somegroup.someserver.phish` "for posts that include cats"
or `#mod:spam`
Ohh, fascinating project is Bivouac! ๐
Related to the name.. I ditched my TV but unfortunately now I watch more YT to replace that. And I binge-watched this channel: youtube.com/@AntsCanada
Your project is very related to some stuff I am brewing on and elaborating for a long time now, and slowly emerging under the umbrella of the social coding movement (yes, emerging. I am using an approach quite unortodox for planning life and work, and involves mimicry of nature voodoo magic :)

I believe the most epic of stories happen every day in the world of ants and nature, without us knowing.YouTube
@risottobias
Mikey Bustos seems like a fine person. I do think heโs a little more focused on โbeing a youTuberโ than ants in particular sometimesโ and he has never promoted others in the online ant community much.
But I donโt read too much into that. His content is nearly error free and he *will* make corrections. Heโs built a lot of enthusiasm for ants and is skilled at making popular videos.
Thanks. Yes, I liked his narrative style which helps a - in my case total noob - person look on in wonderment about the miracles of nature. Really uplifting tone, and a good help against doom & gloom exposure to me :)
Which implies open-mindedness and self-refflection. Golden qualities in any human being. ๐

Additionally do *not* buy the stock fairphone protection case. It does not fit entirely, therefore not protecting your phone if it falls.
My wife got herself a bark protection case (and a refund for the stock fairphone case) and it does its job very good. You can even repair the case yourself using wood glue.
