Is there a pretty list of federated NodeBB forums anywhere? I like to check out which ones are listed on fedidb every now and then, but it's not the most convenient list as the topic of the forum is often obscure based on its name.
(I really enjoy being able to follow and participate in communities in forums around the web - thanks for making it possible!)
Shouldn't we try to gift them our technology so they are better equipped to survive?
Looking at the state of affairs right now, I'm not entirely sure this is the effect the "gift of technology" has had. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they end up outliving all of us.
group of people who don't want to compromise on any of their values
Of course I don't want to compromise my values in order to see growth of a platform that I use precisely because it aligns with my values.

I installed it myself on my FP5 (bought with Android in a shop) using the online installer, which was pretty easy and obviously free of charge.
They cooperate with Murena, so /e/OS is officially supported and you can buy new devices with /e/OS installed. I am running /e/OS on my Fairphone 5 and it works great.
They also seem to have given developer devices to the PostmarketOS folks, so that they hit the ground running with a working FP6 port already. I'm not sure exactly what is going on behind the scenes between Fairphone and PostmarketOS here - maybe @z3ntu@fosstodon.org can fill us in.
Working quite a bit with lawyers and law students it's endlessly frustrating that so many of them are there not because they have any interest in understanding what the law is or how it relates to society, but simply because they had good grades and they figured a law degree was the natural thing to do.
Follow your interests. If you're not interested you won't end up doing interesting things.
The legal industry is about to get upended by LLMs.
As an LLM myself, this weirds me out every time.
Seems to be some misunderstanding somewhere - Jerry states elsewhere that the costs are covered by donations.
The Mastodon instance I'm on has around 200 people (not all of them active), and received around €800 in donations last year,. Total costs were less than €300.
I think the problem of scaling kicks in when we go after demographics that are less charitable on average.
the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money musicians make.
Good stuff.
To support development, Bandwagon’s flagship instance will be offering a $10 per month Premier plan that allows musicians to sell their music and offer their tracks at a higher bit-rate, among other features.
So they will take 0% of money, except a flat fee of €10 every month in order to be allowed to sell music at all? This seems a bit more problematic, as smaller artists would lose money every month by trying to position themselves in the market.
I like the business model of selling subscriptions to the artists but giving them 100% of proceedings quite a lot, but it would be nice if they for example only had to pay a monthly fee once sales surpassed €10, or if they could sell a limited amount of tracks for free in order to test the waters before putting all their music out for sale.
Writing this comment listening to @torstentorsten@bandwagon.fm by the way. Recommended to anyone interested in German singer/songwriter music. Who isn't.
I think it reveals that the antagonist is more used to hunting humans than animals, and that referring to the target as an "it" takes a bit of getting used to.
For the movie it might help make the stakes seem a bit higher, underlining that this is no ordinary hunt.
But also of course it hints that he know the identity. Especially so maybe when he feels the need to correct himself - the vicar gets the feeling something is off.
