"Copyright was designed to benefit the middlemen and gatekeepers, such as the record labels, over the artists themselves. That’s why the labels have a long history of never paying artists. ... modern copyright is stifling rather than incentivizing music creation — directly in contrast to what we’re told it’s supposed to be doing"

Ed Sheeran, Once Again, Demonstrates How Modern Copyright Is Destroying, Rather Than Helping Musicians
To hear the recording industry tell the story, copyright is the only thing protecting musicians from poverty and despair. Of course, that’s always been a myth. Copyright was designed to benefit the…Techdirt

Dangerous EARN IT Bill Advances Out of Committee, but Several Senators Offer Objections
Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted, for a third time, to advance the dangerous EARN IT bill (S. 1207)—a law that could lead to suspicionless scans of every online message, photo, and hosted file.Electronic Frontier Foundation

Next time you think "end to end encryption" at least think about who's controlling those ends. You're not controlling one of them, and soon you may not control the other either. So you're doing E2E encryption... but to what end?

Pixels vs Process
Both are important & nuanced! Pixels are the specifics of what you see: layout, fonts, color scheme and icons. Process is more how the user flows through the product: user needs, navigation model, how many new concepts does your app invent, or how errors are handled or recovered.
Pixels are a snapshot, Process is a flow through time.
(but, tbh, I realize this has no chance, I'm just ranting a bit)

There is also #snikket which can be self-hosted but also offers free hosting while in beta https://snikket.org/hosting/
What makes it different is it uses a web admin panel which makes it really easy to send invites, manage users, groups etc

It does many things, and the UI is packed with distracting elements like the current date represented in progress bars (lol why tho?)
I wish them all the best, maybe I'm old, but I like the simplicity of Mastodon
LPS reshared this.
All the dates and stuff are "widgets", of which there are more!, that are removed in the simplified view.
Calckey has a high degree of customisability it seems.

Possibly invite #Akkoma devs too then, as they've implemented their quote functionality working exactly as described by Panos, and they've built it on top of the Mastodon API (with Pleroma + Akkoma API extensions).
Just a thought...
Then we will work on the Calckey support.
PS: We won't apply for the 150$ bounty.

''banning Element because it gives access to the Matrix network is the equivalent to blocking Google Chrome because it gives people access to the web...''
Yep. Just goes to show those in power are out of touch and have a hard time wrapping their heads around newer technologies.

He's developing three important Fediverse projects:
1. @pixelfed
2. https://fedidb.org
3. https://fediverse.info
All these tools are critical to the future of the Fediverse.
In particular, #Pixelfed will be released on iOS and Android by the end of the month -- which will give people who use #Instagram an easy way to migrate to the Fediverse.
