December 28th Update: Here is the latest #gab and Gab-related instances in a recommended #blocklist.

What is great is how many sites were on the previous version of this list that are - at least for the moment - dead and gone.

Hey folx. I'm writing a free book called Riot Medicine to help teach people first aid for protests, riots, and insurrections. Ⓐ 🏴 ⚕️

Some volunteers have already completed illustrations, but there's still many more that are needed before this can be distributed. If you're able to help out (even with just a single illustration!) get in touch.

You can find out more at https://riotmedicine.net

Examples of content (including illustrations) are provided below.

Hey #3dprinting people, what's your preferred software for doing 3d modeling? I am thinking something free. FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, and Blender all look good to me or is there a browser based option that really does it for you?

one of my favorite, strangest websites is https://www.horg.com/horg/

it's an elaborate shitpost of a website that traces an imaginary taxonomy and phylogeny of little plastic waste products, particularly the little plastic bits that they use to keep bread bags closed (occlupanidae)

I look at all the streets and parking spaces. At the little bit of room left for bicycles, pedestrians and escooters. At the numbers of people being killed by cars and trucks. I hear about the upcoming autonomous vehicles. And I whisper to myself „the machines are winning“

I found this on birbsite and it says that oil companies are preparing to double their plastic output because they are afraid that demand for fossil fuel is going down.

Sharing encrypted data is quite complex. We have now achieved a milestone by enabling you to share your zero-knowledge calendar with others! 😃🎉 https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/release-notes-calendar-share

Mindboggling about the security feature #DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS):

When #Mozilla enables it in the US (only for now), people cry.

Without even knowing the details, sometimes.

E.g. this is the consent prompt you get, when it is enabled… (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https#w_opt-out)

When #Google just enables #DoT (DNS-over-TLS) on #Android with their own servers and without any notification to the user, even, nobody cares… 🤷

#Servicetoot - #Google has unfortunately blocked many #Invidious instances so that they don't work anymore.I hope they will work again soon.In the meantime please use other instances which still work and do *not* access #Youtube directly because that would show Google that their plan works.I clicked through the instance list on #Github and here are the instances which still work:
