5·3 hours agoI know lots of people are crypto-reactionaries… But there are like dozens of these projects in the (primarily open source) crypto space. The basic idea seems to be that a crypto-archive uses a blockchain for hosting and a cryptocurrency to fund it. I don’t know how successful these projects have been. Here are a few quick examples from a search:
There are some people working on this and proposing some options.
IMO, as someone who regularly edits OSM, the maps need much more info and basic editing before reviews. I had to add many of my fave restaurants. Forget about reviews when the restaurants aren’t even on there. Just saying. Maybe as it gets more users.
(Tangent: I was just in a foreign country where I didn’t have much mobile data. But I had downloaded OSM maps beforehand and made edits beforehand for my trip. The only downside is that OSMand doesn’t update their maps very often in some places so I almost never got to use all my edits. Overall though the offline maps were very helpful for navigation, etc.)
GarageBand. It’s literally the only proprietary software that I prefer over open source DAWs.
Shouldout to LMMS, Audacity, etc. I appreciate and use these too. But GB makes things so easy…

The USA would be a complete joke if it weren’t for the “value” created by genocide, imperialism, prison, planetary destruction, etc.

Has it passed the Turing Test?
(JK. The tests are bullshit too.)
You? TBH I wouldn’t do this because I don’t really care.
Capitalism is evil and tracking some shipment for the benefit of some empire won’t change that at all.
It’s a more efficient, direct, and profitable method for destroying the planet.
See also almost all “technology” under capitalism.
Global Capitalism > Discrete Imperialism
Or my former coworker who let his gardening hobby get out of hand… to donate to families in need.
The implicit level of privilege here should not go unacknowledged. It’s a hint at the full story. That’s a fundamental part of the problem regardless of how the individual feels about it or reacts.
Perhaps more importantly these are extremely niche/cherry-picked versions of succeeding. In USA it almost always means the same evil bullshit.

Oof. YDI.
Kodi - compiled from source on whatever hardware suits your needs. I use an old laptop (busted screen) with an external HD.
Jellyfin and Plex don’t offer as many features. I used Plex for a long time but ultimately it’s untrustable proprietary trash. And, when I last tried Jellyfin, it doesn’t do games, IPTV, music, youtube, other addons, etc. It also seemed kind of buggy/slow.
(I just use qbittorent for torrenting.)
8·4 days agoI think this is true of open source and open science more generally.
In the long run there’s no way that the actual desires of humanity can be out-developed by an extremely privileged group of front-runners, rent-seekers, enshittifiers, etc. (eg. proprietary software)…
it’s less of an echo chamber
Just different echoes.
twitter is far more integrated and popular with fash.
