@norwin I think it's time to switch to alternatives like PeerTube and try to convince the content creators to use them, too.

Google is currently on witchhunt for alternative #YouTube frontends: They target the services as well as their users.

In the last week, #Invidious instances first got IP banned, and once that was circumvented stopped via heavy rate limits.

Now they manage to associate #NewPipe users with google accounts somehow, and suspend these accounts:
github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

Now that these frontends got #Google's attention, I don't think we can sustain this cat & mouse game for long. 😔

Further security issues with AppImage: internally they run fusermount and then an executable (!) script from /tmp (!) with a random name so good luck with confining that with AppArmor... Each AppImage binary thus requires CAP_DAV_OVERRIDE and CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

"It increasingly feels like Apple is two different companies: one that puts the freedom of its users first, and another that treats its users very differently. Maybe Apple feels it can navigate this split personality disorder and still maintain its integrity. I very much doubt it will work."

Elizabeth Warren is now running FB ads with a false statement about Mark Zuckerberg and FB endorsing Trump for president, to draw attention to FB's controversial policy allowing politicians to make false statements in ads. Because she's a politician, the usual FB policies don't apply to her lol amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/11/pol

Ok, so we now have a shortlist of contenders for the new name of our little browser-based censorship circumvention project.

Let's vote!

The vote will not be necessarily binding, but I want to see if my feel about these names is correct.

Thank you all for helping out and suggesting the names! Special shout-outs to @pelican3301 , @Shufei , @mjjzf and others who suggested some names.

"Challenges in the Decentralised Web: The Mastodon Case" (PDF) emilianodc.com/PAPERS/mastodon

Interesting academic paper analyzing the fediverse and how different instances and users are connected to one another. It's cool that the Mastodon API is open enough that researchers can do this kind of work.

Hi.

Google makes huge contributions to influential climate change deniers. So does Amazon.

One, a republican think tank (of course), was influential in convincing Trump to leave the Paris agreement and dismantle other environmental protections.
