So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

This morning we reached 42%, now we've just raised over the 50% bar! Y'all are wonderful! \o/
Keep sharing and talking about #PeerTube: together, we have 15 days left to make it happen!

It's a pity... Just as alternative content platforms such as #Mastodon or #PeerTube are starting to gain some traction, the EU is working hard on shutting them down again (at least in the EU). :(

PeerTube is crowdfunding to offer an improved federated video-sharing site at https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform - discuss at https://freepo.st/post/nqevzwf7w7 #freepost
You have probably heard about PeerTube – the alternative to YouTube that's open source, decentralized and federated. If not, here's a short video that explains what it is and how it works.

We all need a free alternative to YouTube!
PeerTube is a decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software.
PeerTube is currently in beta version, that's why @Framasoft needs your help to pave the road to version 1.0!

J’imagine que ça doit être ce que l’on appelle le progrès.
Hello World!
Fractal is considering Fracturing into two apps: Discussions and Messages.
https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/05/16/banquets-and-barbecues/
Personally, I disagree with this idea. I prefer to have one app to map with each service. Splitting the applications instead of thinking through a proper design to solve these issues does not seem like the right solution to me. I would like to know what other users think regarding this, and how it would affect their use cases.
If you will, boost so more people can give input.
I don't get it... this #efail / #gpg / #pgp / #smime thing is all over German media (e.g. here: http://www.tagesschau.de/inland/e-mail-verschluesselung-101.html) even though it is totally irrelevant for 99% of people, as almost no one is using PGP encryption for his/her mails anyways and the few that do will most likely have disabled HTML emails (or at least loading of remote content).
It would be much more proportional to write a *shocker* article every single day about how almost all emails are sent with no e2e encryption at all.
Don't panic: Sicherheitslücke in PGP
https://www.kuketz-blog.de/dont-panic-sicherheitsluecke-in-pgp/
Ah, they've published their paper, but the tl;dr seems to be: Don't use HTML mails. If you receive an encrypted HTML mail, don't load external ressources. It's a nice attack, sure, but not trusting HTML mails in the first place is hardly a novel concept. Details: https://efail.de/ #gpg #pgp
Open Source voice assistant #Mycroft (yes an actual open source alternative of Amazon Alexa and Google Home) has not only almost hit 800% of its Indiegogo funding in Feb, but has recently switched to #Mozilla's #DeepSpeech project.
Deep Speech is just one of over a hundred projects taking part in #MozSprint May 10-11. They're especially seeking voices of NON ENGLISH speakers.
More new contributors added to these open projects = more real world innovative alternatives.
