If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

I don’t have much to say except I love the amount of effort you put into that comment! Thanks for making the fedi awesome!

Granted this law was more clear cut with 14, 16, and 18 being the dividing lines, but it definitely fails to concisely define social media.

The other issue is how do you verify age, and that has been another difficult question if you think people should have reasonable expectations of privacy and aren’t comfortable with the “enter your birthyear” forms.

The main difficulty is defining social media in a way that doesnt restrict other modern communication, education, idea publication, operating a business, shopping, sharing ideas, etc.

Should such laws block Etsy, your family’s Nextcloud, a school ran web forum that only students/parents/faculty can access, Crash Course on YouTube, encrypted communication between your family, etc?

The other difficulty is defining the term “children” consistently. Many US states have simple categories that go all the way to 18, if not later.

Should there be a difference in laws for access for toddlers, elementary ages, and adolescents?

If you think these are easy questions, I suggest you look at the dialog around the UK’s Online Safety Act where they are having to answer these questions after the fact.

No. The internet and the later WWW have been so instrumental in my life there is no way I’d have not had been influenced differently.

I’ve worked through so many arguments and unsafe questions in online spaces that simply wouldn’t have been possible in the very conservative areas I grew up. I’d likely have had to seek answers with out groups and ended up elsewhere adding to my changed influences. I’d have likely had a very different career path too.

I’m faithful that I’d have ended up in the same religion but it’d have taken a much darker journey to get there.

What strategies did you find most successful in earning your NLNet and other grants?

Not Framasoft, but here’s a few ideas on monetizing:

The software allows you to post a “Support” button under the video with links for donations, etc. It also allows you to upload platform member only (internal) and password protected videos that you could charge access via another means to unlock.

Plugins can be added by admins to add monetization more directly as well. For example https://github.com/kontrollanten/peertube-plugin-premium-users is an attempt adds the ability to have premium videos with Stripe as the payment processor/verifier.

Admins can also soft fork and add in whatever customizations to enable monetization too as long as they adhere to the AGPL terms.

Do larger one-time or smaller monthly donations help your organization more?

Also not Framasoft, but for your search question their Sepia Search https://sepiasearch.org/ would be your best bet to get hits across known Peertube instances/platforms.

Your favorite Peertube instance/platform has its own front page, and they’ve done a bit of work in the Android app to have an explore tab to have similar across its tracked instances.

Neat to see more tools like this out there.

Great for any retromachines that can’t / won’t run the modern web (and things like Lynx and EWW) and accessibility purposes.

I’ll have to take a look at how it’s parsing the pages. Brow.sh is usually my goto for these use cases, but that’s using a whole Firefox to do the rendering.

Hopefully more projects take advantage of vulnerability scanning and monitoring tools like those in this OWASP list https://owasp.org/www-community/Free_for_Open_Source_Application_Security_Tools, have good code quality standards to make their projects easier to understand and evaluate, contribute and respond to CVE reports, and get third party security auditing.

All of that is hard to motivated those throwing their code out to the world only to share how they scratched their itch to perform. I think we need a combination of governments and non-profits providing incentives / grants to projects doing good practices, document and provide trusted a forum to validate vulnerabilities, give some backing to “trusted” frameworks, and provide some vulnerability and auditing themselves.

The recent EU push into more government open source usage will help as they will be more incentivized to secure the pipelines and everyone will benefit the fruits of that firehose of funding.

Hopefully things like PineTime, Bangle.js, and the return of Pebble can shake up the market. There’s always neat DIY hacks like the SensorWatch too that can still make the space fun even if the major players get enshittified.

Outside of rate limiting and sending detected bad bots to poisoned static data, yeah not much you can really do without harming valid use cases.

In the federated world people can just set up relays or listener instances, which are far better than hammering hobbyist instances with the additional bandwidth.

Speed bumps are pretty much the worst option for speeding. Lane narrowing, adding curves, and lane diets should be preferred, and you can try them out at similar costs with plastic bollards or even cones. That being said if you want speed bumps, install elevated sidewalks instead.

Most Ukrainians are probably priced out from Apple products. I don’t think iOS is a concern in their use case.

I’m not aware of any way to do that, but that sounds neat!

Even if that type of filter isn’t added to lemmy server, it’d be awesome on a client.

Linux Foundation is also the host for the Servo project.

Hopefully all the drama around this can motivate more creators off ByteDance, Meta, and Alphabet platforms and onto fedi platforms like PeerTube and Loops.

A better critique would be lack of ability or safe routes, since many workarounds are needed to allow kids and those physically less able to get around by two wheels.

The vast majority of adults travel within 10km of their homes for most errands, which is definitely possible to hit with an analog bike. Ebikes can enable making double that distance easy.

That being said, even in actually rural areas where you are biking on a narrow shoulder with 50kph+ traffic next to you 20km each way in 0°C temps, many that don’t have other options still bike, so really it’s a preference for comfort/safety not lack of ability stopping most.
