YouTube is like heroin because it pulls you in, hooks you, and slowly drains you. It is designed to be addictive and destructive, and that is exactly why it feels so hard to step away from it.
And yes, I know the excuse, maybe your favorite dealer has not set up shop on PeerTube. But that does not change the truth of the comparison.
PeerTube is like weed, it grows more naturally, it is gentler on you, and it still gives you a high without tearing apart your health and your lif…

"I would like to propose that IPs of [NTP] pool-members should not be allowed to host [Tor exit nodes] simultaneously under the same IP."
or put another way, "my employer paid for this whizzy firewall but it complains when we make it talk to a free service run by a volunteer because of other software the volunteer runs. Please educate your volunteers about how they need to go about providing this free service to us."

I was looking for my dishwasher manual. I noticed next to the manual, a link that said "Free Open Source Software". Curious, I clicked on it, and it's a long list of licenses and copyright information that is used in the dishwasher. Ctrl-F, and sure enough - my name's on the list.
I feel like I should have gotten a discount on the dishwasher, or at the very least access to its firmware source code! 🤠

Sometimes I lose followers, sometimes I gain new ones, that’s just part of staying true to my beliefs in anarcho-syndicalism, Linux, Free Software, Bandcamp, and the other things that matter to me.
I’m the happiest when I connect with like minded people who share these values and engage with today’s struggles in ways that resonate with what I believe in.

Doing #Gentoo these days feels like being a small cell of unpaid volunteers opposing the enshittification of software. On one side, we're put up against a horde of full-time corporate developers. On the other, against young ambitious volunteers with lots of free time. And both can rapidly spew tons of mediocre code, and doing things wrong is so much easier than doing things right.
(Just to be clear, I'm not saying every corporation or every youngster does things wrong — there are people who care on the other side too.)

I keep wondering what it would look like for free software developers to unionize and strike.
