I also want quotes back instead of screenshots of text.

Pleroma and Akkoma FE can also display conversations as trees.

Steamworks is DRM like anything, but if it is possible to play without it then it’s “yours”, is how I summarize it.

Since we’re in a community about events making us (regrettably) admit that Stallman was right, I don’t think freedom 0 alone is enough for the concept of ownership.

But are the games you redeem even yours?

if I sent you a private message, is that viewable in plain text by not just the instance owner we’re both on

Yes.

other federated instances too?

Not by design, but instances can misbehave.

private messaging over AP

Private is misleading here: for messaging to be private, no third party should be able to read the messages. In practice, this usually requires end-to-end encryption.

I’ve been using disroot.org for a few years and it does what I expect. Recently I started a maddy.email server on a VPS and it’s easier than I thought.

doesn’t collect my data and its [sic] secure as well

To quote cock.li,

How can I trust you?

You can’t. Cock.li doesn’t parse your E-mail to provide you with targeted ads, nor does cock.li read E-mail contents unless it’s for a legal court order. However, it is 100% possible for me to read E-mail, and IMAP/SMTP doesn’t provide user-side/client-side encryption, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it. Any encryption implementation would still technically allow me to read E-mail, too. This was true for Lavabit as well – while your E-mail was stored encrypted (only if you were a paid member, which most people forget), E-mail could still technically be intercepted while being received / sent (SMTP), or while being read by your mail client (IMAP). For privacy, we recommend encrypting your E-mails using PGP using a mail client add-on like Enigmail, or downloading your mail locally with POP and regularly deleting your mail from our server.

Original article (in French) so gaggle doesn’t know what one reads.

• Flare: best hack and slash RPG
• Hedgewars: best coffee break
• Neverputt (from Neverball): also coffee break but peaceful
• SuperTuxKart: fun racing game if you have a controller
• Extreme Tux Racer: relaxing skiing
• Xonotic: most popular fast-paced FPS
• Red Eclipse: similar, but parkour!

I use a web feed reader (Liferea) and open videos in mpv. Actually I usually open PeerTube videos in the browser to give it a thumb up and possibly help with delivery, but mpv can play them too.

I subscribe to:

• Blogs I find interesting
• Blogs of personal friends
• Projects’ blogs and announcements
• Changes to codebase I need to closely monitor (e.g. things I host)
• Videos, mostly on YouTube, but also my PeerTube feed
• Web comics

What’s your source? (I have a feed reader and prefer its interface to that of microblogging frontends.)

E.g. Fæcebook and Cloudflare IP ranges are public information, your instance’s server can block it by a firewall.

I like @art.sommerwolke.com@tube.tchncs.de (painting) and @liveitlive@video.liveitlive.show (concert).

Hopefully not, robbing ships and coastal areas isn’t exactly friendly to begin with.
