Yeah, rss isn't for everyone.
For news I would advice using the newstool MiniFlux.

I think I would have sought out anarchist communes and tailored my tool to their needs. If done well, I could have my needs met, lived comfortably and created tools that directly impacted my peers. I'd also be able to help out my commune in many other meaningful ways as well. The days would be filled with meaning instead of as a servent of the machine.

Eikerammen har fått vevplass
No har Eikerammen fått seg vevplass. Rammeverket er framleis under utvikling, så rekn med endringar.
Eg har fått låna plass gjennom pollux.casa. Eg betaler ingenting og eg rekner med at nettsiden kjem til å vera oppe i all overskueleg framtid. Om noko skulle endra seg, så er det lett å flytta til ein anna vevplass.
Denne vevplassen er både tilgjengeleg gjennom hypertext og gemini.
Gjerne stikk innom og utforsk:)

Free software or open source? A small inspection.
Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.
When we talk about free software, we point to transparency, studyability, tinkerability and sharability. The openness to allow ourselves to use our tools with freedom.
However, I do not think we should use the term open source. The reason for my distancing of the word source is because the word makes us think about development instead of the end user. Because if we want these kinds of software to appeal to the masses, we the word to emphasize that it is meant for them. Instead, I would use the term open software, open tool or open machine.
I like to swap out "ism" with "frame". In this case broism becomes broframe.
I like lagrange for browsing the web on desktop and I use deedum on my phone.

Topological comment sorting
EDIT: More precise titles.
The way we sort comments on lemmy today is through giving everyone the ability to up and downvote any comment. You upvote comments you want to be more visible and downvote comments you want to have less visibility.
I think ranking comments are great if some opinions contribute more.
Imagine the value of a comment can be determined before voting. Perhaps with a panel of judges. With rankings -10 to 10 where -10 is dangerous misinformation, 0 has no meaningful contribution and 10 is perhaps mindblowingly enlightening or empowering.
Example of lemmy style sorting
Lets say a post is submitted. On the first day, it received the comments with a judges score (user, score):
(monkey, 8), (zebra, -2), (horse, 5), (panda, 3), (rhino, 3).
A post get the most visibility the first day. Therefore, those who post early can get a lot of votes.
However on the second day, one user submitted the comment:
(Flower, 9)
A this point in time the post doesnt have that m

Is there a community that speaks the afrihili language?
I saw a post about the afrihili language on this community and became intrigued. Is there any afrihili communities on the web? I was unable to find anything.

How to monitor memory usage on android?
I experience that my memory is used up on my android phone, but I dont understand what drains the memory.
I only found AnotherMonitor on fdroid, but it doesnt appear to show which app is consuming memory. Only total consumption.
Are there any good apps or solutions for this? Or at least as autonomous slash private as possible.

What are your thoughts on green/private cryptos?
Im interested in cryptos, because it could serve as a foundation for an internet funded by people and communities. A crypto that protects people's privacy and has a low energy cost.
But is this enough to make it ethical? Are there other aspects to take into concideration? Or is ethical cryptos possible?
In particular Im looking into Mobilecoin which Signal has integrated into their app.

Federated subscription service
I'm interested in a complimentary federated service for peertube and similar services. One can subscribe to creators and instances. You can't create independent posts, because it is solely made as a subscription service. However you can comment on creations.
It is intended as a tool to keep track of creators you are interested in, and have a seamless experience with going from one video to the next and be able to post quick comments.
I'm envisioning that this service could be distributed and serverless like Scuttlebutt. That way, there would be no signup process involved. One could then download software/ app for your phone and start adding instances and creators.
To comment, one would perhaps need some verification system, like connecting your app to a user to avoid misuse.
A service like this would act similar to an federated RSS, but with more flexibility.
I believe a service like this would be superior to any subscription solution we have today, that be through RSS, peertub

Using News app on tab.digital
I have a subscription of Family and Friends on the site tab.digital. This would allow me to add apps to my nextcloud. One of the apps I have been most excited about has been the News app, which can administrate open subscription feeds like RSS. However, I have a couple issues.
First of all, I've been notified that the app is unstable on my Family and Friends subscription from a dialogue box. I don't know if that is due to me having the wrong subscription or whether it has to do with the app itself being unstable.
So far I've ignored that warning, because I can risk the service failing. I'll just have to contact the provider to reset in that case.
I have sent an email to the provider, but I expect an response on monday so It's kind of long to wait.
Does anybody have any experience with News app on Nextcloud or with tab.digital?

What if only non-profits existed?
No corporations, no profit based businesses, no state. Only non-profit organizations. Would this be communism?
If so, could this possibly be self-sustainable? How can such decentralized society structure possibly self sustain without the threat of centralization?

How should anti capitalists invest?
I'm thinking about anti capitalist investments.
Traditionally, it has been common to talk about investment in the sense of "generating" wealth. The economy is going to grow, therefore it is good to invest your money in mutual funds or diverse portfolios.
Traditional investment is orwellian for buying the rights to workers labor. Therefore, by principle I shouldn't invest in the traditional sense.
But just having money just laying around in the bank isn't very clever either as inflation will devalue it. So I'm thinking about anti capitalist investments.
Investments in non-profits
My idea of investment doesn't just encompass how to increase my personal wealth, but also the wealth of the planet, wealth of human beings and wealth of animals. This means that I consider a donation an investment. I could view such investments as giving much higher return than even the most ethical company.
By donating, I'm also incentivizing myself to pay more attention to these organizations.
Me personally, I've realized how much my perception of socialist countries has been warped by capitalist propaganda and I'm reluctant about believing anything that western media says about these countries.

Software/service for creating fediverse stickers
I want to create stickers to advertise my profile. So I'll need to get some pictures slap them into gimp, add the text from my profile and have the content be consistent with the presentation of my site.
I can do this. However, it is a little bothersome because I'm not too comfortable with gimp yet. I'm also thinking that in long term, it would be good for new users to have an easy way of producing their own stickers.
The input could be username and their preferred layout. The output is a standard profile that you can continue to edit through the software/service. When you are finished, you can download the file so that you can continue editing it in some other software (.xcf), or you can export it as png, pdf, etc.

An addon I'd like to see
Tabs often gets very cluttered. But I know which tabs that I always want to stay open. Email, social media, RSS feed, messenging. In short navigation tabs where you are only in the home screen.
So when you press a link in the management tab, it is opened in the content window. Or something along those lines. Whaddaya think?
