If you pay for #cybersecurity services, you should be paying for #accessibility. It doesn't matter if is #OpenSource or not. It's expert work that needs to be paid. Accessibility is equal to professional services, not charity or something people will have to do for free. #axschat

Damn!

@peertube with no hesitation dropped a truth bomb today...

"The realization that led us to develop PeerTube is that no one can rival YouTube or Twitch. You would need Google’s money, Amazon servers’ farms... Above all, you would need the greed to exploit millions of creators and videomakers, groom them into formatting their content to your needs, and feed them the crumbs of the wealth you gain by farming their audience into data livestock."

As we know from the , -wars, is a thing. Who has already lost the plot? Politicians forgetting what they know, say or about? Crazy space cadets ruining technology and services? No one to blame, ostracise or ban? We can find someone. Always!

Tis the season to delight all family members and say you're picking a name...

FOR AN ASTEROID!

The Hayabusa2 spacecraft (now off on its extended mission) will flyby an asteroid with the memorable moniker, 2001 CC21.

And YOU could rename this adorable spacerock "GREAT UNCLE BOB"!

Well, technically, there are some rules but you've got until May next year to justify that choice.

Tonight I’m feeling small as I realize no amount of pleading will lead my family and friends from other platforms to join Mastodon.

I am not the carrot they need. I am not the stick, either.

So it’s with mixed emotions that I cut myself off from Meta and lose contact with so much of my past, so much of my world. It’s humbling to feel so… irrelevant.

But Meta stole my art, my visage, my pics I shared from my heart to make money for themselves, and they want me pay to reach anyone myself.
