CIRCLE WITH A DOT

The revolution will not be centralized.

From LowTech Magazine an interesting paper about DC vs AC and local decentralized production of electricity : https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2016/04/slow-electricity-the-return-of-dc-power/

@timbray

Nice neologism.

I will be using it.

@MostlyHarmless

Solar doesn’t work when the sun isn’t shining.

Wait til you hear about electric batteries.

@billyjoebowers

If I own a brand and Google makes up a site using my brand logo and all, could they not be sued for using a brand that is not theirs?

Seriously, fuck them.

And yes, what would be the point of using Google?

@thejuicemedia

These humoristic clips do a better job at informing the public than many mainstream medias. It's a shame.

@thejuicemedia

There are public broadcasters or publishers that publish no advertising.

They should run this kind of ad.

@_elena

It also works with hashtags. I just tried it.

Look for a hashtag in the search box. Click on the hashtag in the result list. Copy the link in navigation bar and add .rss.

I am now just waiting to see if I will get this hashtag's publications from the whole fediverse (which would be cool) or from Mastodon only.

@ruud @_elena

It works! You have to add .rss instead of /rss.

It is set up on my Thunderbird. I will see, Elena, if your next posts do appear in my rss feed.

@ruud

Thank you. I will try when I get back home.

@_elena

When I will get back home tonight, I will try with some other accounts.

This rss feature would be quite cool.

@_elena

I don't get the rss part.

I tried with your adress in the Thunderbird rss reader thing, it doesn't seem to work. I added /rss to your adress, still doesn't work.

Does it work with any fediverse adress, or does the account need to have somehow enabled somekind of rss switch?

@_elena

Keep doing what you do.

@_elena

Also, X/Twitter give you the illusion of being able to take part in a discussion. Unless you have a the blue check mark, no one sees what you write and no one sees the comments you adress an elected official using Twitter.

Imagine a political assembly where only those wearing a paid badge can use the microphone.

Moving public deliberation to Twitter undermines the very foundation of democracy.

@_elena

I came across a cool humoristic method of resistance, see the For Ai Only section :

Je me demande si on identifie le trèfle pour le laisser fleurir, est-ce que les graines donneront des trèfles à quatre feuilles?

Si j'en trouve un, j'essaye.

Ma pelouse est moitié trèfle, j'ai des chances...

Ou peut-être que ça briserait la magie du trèfle à quatre feuilles...

@alternativeto

There is also the french Mailo : https://www.mailo.com/

@juliette

I like your attitude.

@wesdym

Yes, I understand all this.

But can find cool to have an old (now useless) Ubuntu disk from back in the days?

And can we just not tell my girlfriend that this pile of old disks is now useless?

@wesdym

I know, but you can still use Ubuntu now.

The very first? It is so cool. How old are you?

@rasterweb

I have a pile of these disks on my bookshelves, my girlfriend thinks that it is a waste of space and asks why I’m keeping these. I don’t need these, I can download whatever I want.

I keep these because it is so cool.

Pieces of long gone era that I have known.
