I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it's flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can't use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.
There's another reason I don't share "It's FOSS" links anywhere: this should have been a github issue but it's turned into a clickbaity headline. Every othe article coming out of "It's FOSS" is either low effort, sensationalist, or both.
Phanpy, a mastodon frontend is somehow going to co-lead a battle against Meta? I'm not at all against unionising, but it sounds like you're cherry picking whatever you personally happen to use as representative of the fediverse.
I can see the draw of subscribing to and blocking different keywords — adding another taxonomy to the existing communities. Mastodon and similar microblog projects are ahead in that regard, and not only in terms of muting or following hashtags. I would definitely welcome more user settings on Lemmy so we could curate feeds granularly on an individual level.
The freedom from advanced algorithms really demands that users be the wardens of whatever other sorting comes next, rather than Lemmy devs leaving things be or Meta-like algorithms creep in because of familiarity.
For the past many years I've simply synced my notes across devices (originally from webDAV, currently Syncthing) and open them with my favourite Markdown editor for each platform. On my android phone it's Markor, and Marktext on desktop.
I've tried so many note taking apps but especially Joplin's weird renaming of my files cooled my enthusiasm for One App To Rule Them All. I do understand the attraction of it, I just prefer a simple setup where I'm not bound by any developer (team)’s whims.
Organizing conferences costs time and money, like many other things in the Fediverse. We believe the sooner the Fediverse finds a way to pay for itself that doesn’t depend on the heroic efforts of a small number of individuals, the better. We want to build something that is sustainable, and to do that, it needs to know how to pay for itself.
It aligns the objectives between organizers and attendees, and keeps us organizers focused on what you want out of the conference; as opposed to us pushing an agenda, or letting a sponsor undule influence the agenda.
In our long experience organizing conferences we have learned that people who pay for an event are much more likely to actually attend. Free-of-charge conferences often have more no-show’s then actual attendees.
