This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is a lot to read, and also we missed the toot about last week.
In short:
- F-Droid client 1.21 was released, but you should wait for 1.21.1 before you update
- there were some bugs in DAVx⁵, Nextcloud and Tailscale, so be careful in updating these too
- we're working together with @Codeberg to get our builds from apps hosted there working again
- any much more

Our admin tried something one or two days ago and it seems like, as of the time of publication, cloning from Codeberg with your provider works again: monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log…
Could you please confirm with us? Thanks! ~n

@IzzyOnDroid @hiddengravitas A genuine thank you to you both for stepping up to show us the ropes and give us the help we really needed – this wild-goose chase took us a large amount of extra volunteer hours during a heavy week.
We may not be like other SCM's (mostly billion $ companies), but that's exactly why we really do prefer interpersonal communication and cooperation over social media posts. Next time, for the sake of the developers, we hope to have that. I hope the issue is fixed. ~n
The comment in social.librem.one/@eighthave/1… indicates the IP addresses and provider used by F-Droid should not become public information. It looks like we indeed managed to figure them out with some days of digging in our access logs.
However, we are not sure how to deal with this information further. Our allowlist is managed in public, and we probably need to figure out a better way to persist the exception without disclosing your IP range.

Is the background update functionality dependent on Android 13?

Yes!
I may not agree with you all the time, and strongly disagree sometimes, but I completely agree with you on this.
We want sustainable business and social platforms and people first projects.
Aren't "grants" another kind of "free money" which is from a usually non-caring States that simply want to find out all the info and what they take advantage of from it and your research ?
You mentioned "philanthropic organizations" that would be help better than my description of a grant - but can you name some philanthropic organizations ? ❓
Grant doesn't seem like a good free lunch either they really do give it almost blindly / without terms and conditions (?)... that's why I'd like an example.
Who doesn't want something back like any Vampire Empire which is like the Venture Capitalist / Vulture Capitalism people talk about (in fact the head Vulture being state so not much better)..
#VampireEmpire ? 🧛 💉 🩸
#VentureCapitalism 💰 🤑 💰
#VultureCapitalism 🦃 👸 💎
Or just Vanilla #Capitalism as #Grants / paid research and development for the next dirty work from your ideas...
#philanthropy organizations ?

Stop pretending it's about "#crowdfunding", for you. You are expressly working on bringing #advertising to the #Fediverse, and the Mastodon instance that you run.
it's absolutely true that VC will want an exit. However that can come through an IPO, which is essentially crowdfunding.
If you are serious about crowdfunding, consider opening an investment round for all.
I also agree on the need for sustainable business. But Mastodon doesn't have that, at least one that would give significant resources for growth. Donationware isn't that, and most instances are run out of people's own pockets.

Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.
I'll remember that the next time someone brags about how good a project is because it's VC-backed.
Microsoft/GitHub is not Venture Capital, it's Totalitarian Capital - MS is part of the #GAFAM oligopoly. We still don't know [1] where Mastodon-the-software has described its plan to migrate away [2] from the MS totalitarian capital platform that it is currently developed on, to shift to community servers that are sustainable. Giving money through MS/GH sounds even worse than maintaining bug reports there.

[2] giveupgithub.org
``Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.''
Repeat this everywhere.
You won't see this message because the people who pull your strings, as an investor would, have told you to silence me.
They control you, they control your software, and you don't even get the benefits of VC-backing
Big winner right here.

"You invite money, you relinquish control. the money stops the moment you don't fall in line even with crowdfunding" ❓
💬 said by anime graf mays)
That does seem true about money and seems towards my level of "purism" (if I can call it that)
...but I don't have an answer for going without money usage other than at some point money is used & needed and to head towards not using it....
...so maybe I'd stay at the "at home" level of #computing to make sure of that since we all have that (like a #p2p version of Mastodon just for some imagination and example) but then I'm not sure what else can be bigger + 24/7 running and care / minimise without big money and #BIGtech (Mastodon runs on Amazon S3 mostly everywhere). Trying mostly just with home-tech and software as the setup?... might be 'for the way' with #climate being eaten (by us) and polluted (by USA mostly)...
Money here is the problem too but also that people DON'T understand a lot about how it's stealing / diminishing instantly and over time... but even without making this about money STILL ANTI-google/youtube people are posting google / youtube links for example here which is CHA-CHING for them for millions of links per day... so this shows people are lazy or fall into back into bad habits (or not using filtered links through something open-source like Invidious which obviously hurt them as they changed it to ruin filters sites - this is a good sign and shows hurting them at the "money" level is a real winner)
So we're born into the 'money' scam / scheme / system (in English also means way of swindle) and we can't get out to a certain extent without eliminating ourselves from purely needing that consumption even to eat or do transactions (which ever transaction is taxed further reducing effectiveness of money / displace it)....
THE REST BELOW IS AN
ANSWER TO 'WHAT IS MONEY?'
...and if you think you know all this then read it and tell me you knew all this and can live life easily and knowingly without doing something about money itself as the main problem (for all things, Mastodon and all life)...
===================
SO WHAT IS MONEY?
(ACCORDING TO ME AND YOU?)
===================
FOR ME "MONEY" IS... a deflationary medium, deliberately reducing it's worth over time to undermine to steal back value back to banks and cheat people out of their energy and savings while seemingly providing life but overall much less than you think and even entering MINUS / NEGATIVE NUMBERS / EQUATIONS (and therefore life similarly negative)
Money it also psychologically accumulated ignorance (and very hard to follow) but 'easy' to use making the medium used by the many who use it but don't understand it - and can't see or accept other people are paying for money as loans / fees / etc which actually dilutes their own " #money " and reduces overall "money" if if they never took a loan!. All loans allow more debt than anything else positive as banks re-loan with false power (can loan 9 or 10x your savings)
So society accrues a false sense of security while almost everyone is losing like a bag of sand with a hole you can't really see but leaks even more when you move it (or another analogy like bucket with hole).
Which is also why people have to work endlessly... like a leak in your society's bucket... and it's mainly called a " #bank " 🏦
Anime, I guess you aren't for money but would like to ask if you could image small-scale / at-home stuff working (so maybe no remote server / no Amazon S3 / no Cloud in between ?) ❓

The mentality is simple. The profit margins of running a business fairly are small, but capitalism is supposed to be built on these slim margins. Its sustainable.
These guys think reality is chump change. Nepo babies. Complete idiots. I spoke WITH them for 10 years doing manager interviews, setting up their presentation for investors.
I figured the min. investment was too large for mainstream investors, and you needed 5 mill to even get into it. So only idiots would get hurt.
I was so wrong.
But I even reviewed Too Big To Fail, eventually, and did a New Yorker piece.

Let's spread awareness of #peertube as a powerful and free alternative to corporate platforms. #foss #opensource #surveillance joinpeertube.framalab.org/
Did you know if you, as a creator, would like to continue publishing to #YouTube, it is actually very easy to synchronize/mirror your videos to a peertube account (if the instance allows this) automatically.
So basically, after an initial one-time setup, you will now have a presence outside GAFAM and corporate control.... baby steps;)
In addition, since it's compatible with #activitypub it's possible to follow your videos much like a 2 way RSS from the #Fediverse #mastodon platform of your choice. AND viewers can comment directly from here!!
It would be awesome to create a hashtag like #discoverpeertube to highlight interesting videos available there.

As with all the different federated platforms, each will require its own account, which IMHO is actually a good thing.
Yes, you can link videos within a Lemmy/Kbin thread that points to the video, just like you would with any other video link.
However, when it comes to interactivity/comments in order for this to happen a user needs to follow the channel, for example try following this @Blender
From the point you start following, it will pop up in your timeline like any other user and your comments to it will show up on their instance, just like a YouTube comment.

It would be useful if peertube would add the capability to post to Lemmy (as Kbin does). Until then, we have the burden of creating an extra kbin or lemmy acct just to add a link.

As a visual artist myself, I found this video to be so incredibly inspiring and at the same time it expresses something I've always felt but had difficulty expressing to non-artists.
Danny Gregory goes into how he uses his sketchbook as a visual journal of his life, it's impact on how he experiences the world around him, and how it also creates joy and connection in his life.
I don't believe this is limited to any specific creative pursuit, but rather all creative pursuits. In this day and age where society is obsessed with money and all things quantifiable, we often forget how essential Art is to the human experience.

Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.
You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is
Yeah, unfortunately 12ft.io didn't keep up with the paywall arms race. It's too bad because it was one of those things that a lot of people knew about, many of whom may now just give up when it doesn't work even though there are other options out there.
As one example, there's now also the 13ft ladder: github.com/wasi-master/13ft It's like 12ft but self hosted. Sounds really good but I can't vouch for it yet.
I mostly would just archive a paywallrd page with archive.is (aka archive.today, archive.ph, etc.) and that worked great and also helped take traffic away from asshole sites that paywall content. Unfortunately, archive started requiring a cloud flare captcha when archiving a page. This is a deal breaker for me since captcha totally deanonymizes you and is used for tracking purposes and even to train AI. So it defeats a good chunk of the purpose of using an archive site.
Still, there's a good chance that someone else already archived the page you want to see, so putting the url in archive.is search can be enough to bypass the paywall.
I have been using inspect element to manually remove ads and other annoying things
Thanks for reminding me that i can just use useblock origin!
Yeah the article stub doesn't link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don't have a session.
It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.
In this very particular situation I'm glad most companies are lazy and stupid.
I don't particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don't make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.
It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall.
Sure, but the easily-bypassed js method makes sure it’s still crawlable by search engines, which is a trade well worth making where I work. Doesn’t matter as much for porn sites since the title and description aren’t the content most people are there for, so you can expose them on the paywall page.
Very true. I don't disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won't matter.

Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.
Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.
If you just want to be aware, you could often read the headlines for free or follow news sites like Reuters, AFP, or AP.
They are primarily wire news companies and are a great way to get reliable, truthful and often free news.
If you want to read longer articles, you should pay if you want to have articles to read in the future.

Many sites don't work like that and don't even load the content from the server before the paywall check.
But I have a trick that work 100% of the time. Just don't read those sites.
I get that journalism and entertainment magazines have workers and need to be paid BUT:
They were getting paid when I could pay a cheap physical newspaper if I want to read it and usually had those for free anyway. As you'll get newspapers on most public places and one single newspaper would serve a whole family. In my house we didn't really paid more than 4€ a month and got physical things that you could just keep. Now with digital distribution you own nothing and it is far more expensive. So... No. Also they get a ton of public money through institutional advertisement, so I'm already basically paying for them without getting access to their content.
So unless they are willing to change their model I'll just refuse to read them. I'm happier without their clickbaits anyway.
So unless they are willing to change their model I’ll just refuse to live.
Wait what
Saddest typo ever.
I just won't tell this to my psychologist, just in case.
Are you also aware how few have a newspaper subscription or buy them at a stand?
Yeah, sure, keep reading your "free" news. Just remember to ask yourself who do you think is paying for it and why.
Ad companies with biases and normies/boomers who pay for it without any second guess.
In case anyone wanted to know.
do not right click inspect element on the paywall window and then delete the code & re-enable scrolling (i always forget how to, but don't google it)
the downside is that sometimes half the article is neutered anyway
Wow, I feel like the most upvoted solutions here don't work, and meanwhile some obvious and widely known alternatives are being completely overlooked.
❌ Inspect Element - many modern sites don't even include the full article in the paywalled html, so this wouldn't work. Also sitting there and mousing over elements and deleting them one by one, is tedious, it's easy to accidentally delete an element that encloses the content you intended to keep, or to drive yourself crazy trying to figure out how elements are nested.
❌ Ublock Zapper - a similar to the above, won't work on stub articles, and just janky because you're manually zapping things
❌ Disabled JavaScript - Similar to the above, same problem because many articles are stubs anyway. And the HTML layers that block your view don't have to be done with JavaScript.
❌ Rapid copy and paste of the article to notepad or rapidly printing the screen - similar problem to the above, lots of places just post the stub of an article, and besides nobody should live their life this way rapidly trying to print screen or copy everything. If you're trying to do a quick copy you're going to grab all kinds of gobbledygunk from the page and probably have to manually filter it out.
❌ Reader Mode - Your browsers reader mode will be hit and miss because, again, many sites post stub articles, and it's possible the pay wall stuff will just get formatted into the reader mode along with an incomplete article.
✅ Archive.is - works!
✅ Pocket and Instapaper - amazingly, nobody has mentioned these even though they're probably the longest running (dating back to 2007-2008), possibly most widely known, and most consistent solutions that still work to this day. They keep their own local caches of articles, so it's not depending on the full content being visible on the page.
✅ Other dedicated extensions - Dedicated browser extensions seem to work, but be careful what you're signing yourself up for.
🤷♀️ Brave - It works, but, it's a Chromium supported browser, so ultimately Google controls the destiny and can drive Chromium to incorporate fundamental frameworks supporting DRM and pushing their preferred web standards.

It's almost like we need an international recognition, and written into law, that society cannot survive with any individuals or corps that horde beyond a certain level of wealth.
