Fedora Docs monthly workshop today presented by Justin Flory @jwf , Fedora Community Architect, provided us wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience on Documentation.
Thanks all for joining. I'll upload recorded footage by 2 March on PeerTube channel.
See you next month on the last Thursday of March. I will share the link soon here in Mastodon.
Huge thanks to @combustiblelemonade and @YoSoyFreeman for a very productive meeting today over #JitsiMeet !
We're like 90% there on our way to have our first automated test running for the game! We just need to figure out how to have #Godot import the game project without a display server... or we'll have to run a display server on a VPS just for that :P
If any Godot devs have figured out #ContinuousIntegration for game projects - please share your ways! #Codeberg#CI#Gitea#GiteaCI#Liblast
Call for volunteers!
I'm in the tech team of a wonderful little dub and roots internet radio station: https://omyradio.net/
We run self hosted on open source tech. And we really need some more people in the tech team. Please contact me if you are interested.
It's a very small community of enthusiasts. Spanning both dj's and regular listeners.
Skills we need is linux, apache, hosting, web techs and stuff like that. We have a video chatroom based on Jitsi. We run the radio stream on liquid soap.
Please spread! #OpenSource#Linux#liquidsoap#Apache#Volunteering#Jitsi#JitsiMeet#css#RootsAndCulture#Reggae#Dub
Wer darüber nachdenkt, Daten über sich selbst der Digital-Afterlife-Industrie zur Verfügung zu stellen, sollte sich über die damit verbundenen Risiken informieren.
Bei der Technikfolgenabschätzung fehlen da leider einige Aspekte. Was, wenn meine Daten schon vor meinem Ableben in die falschen Hände geraten? Dann habe ich Kriminellen einen voll gepackten Kompromatkoffer in die Hand gedrückt.
Meine digitale Nachbildung kann jederzeit für #Identitätsdiebstahl genutzt werden und für Straftaten missbraucht werden, für die ich dann verdächtigt werde.
Bisher gefällt es mir nicht schlecht. Von der Website:

Als KI-Professor Erik Neumeyer plötzlich verstirbt, bleibt seine Frau Julia nicht alleine zurück. BOT Erik soll als virtueller Trauerbegleiter seinen Platz einnehmen. Ist der Tod nur ein Zustand, der überwunden werden kann?
Von Gesine Schmidt
Human Bot mit Eigenleben
Jahrelang hat Erik als Pionier an seiner digitalen Unsterblichkeit gearbeitet. Sein virtueller Doppelgänger speist sich aus Erinnerungen, Textfragmenten, Videotagebüchern und Emails. Durch Interaktionen mit der realen Welt soll sich das System auch nach Eriks Tod selbstständig weiterentwickeln und so die Angehörigen weiter durchs Leben begleiten. Doch Julia ist von dieser Möglichkeit gar nicht begeistert. Für beide wird es eine folgenschwere Reise mit ungewissem Ausgang. …
Schade, dass man sich nun bei #Jitsimeet mit Datensammlern wie Google, Facebook , Github anmelden muss. Gibt es noch vernünftige Alternativen, die man anonym benutzen kann? @digitalcourage#followerpower#Datenschutz
I wanted to hop into a #JitsiMeet room now, but the jit.si UI is now pushing #jitsi users to create accounts (or "Wait for a moderator", which probably is the same as waiting for Godot), and this is their explanation for it: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/
I can imagine the "drug cartel uses this for human trafficking or worse" scenario they are implicitly depicting, but part of me thinks the move is rather an "end of zero-interest phenomenon" #enshittification measure 🤔️
It is with a heavy heart that
I have to announce I can no longer recommend the fantastic videoconference tool that was Jitsi Meet 😔💔
“Starting on August 24th, we will no longer support the anonymous creation of rooms on meet.jit.si, and will require the use of an account (we will be supporting Google, GitHub and Facebook for starters but may modify the list later on).”
Choosing to demand connections with Google, Facebook, or GitHub while declaring privacy is still a priority is quite ironic, and heartbreakingly disappointing: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/
Off the top of my head, I could probably recommend framatalk.org and calls.disroot.org and remember if you enjoy these services, send a donation their way!
I have an odd issue with Jitsi Meet. Well, actually one of my customers has: Recently he wanted to share his complete screen with me, but I was just able to see the Firefox/Chrome window and his background image + MacOS controls on the top of the screen.
I was not able to see the settings or Finder window which have been in the foreground.
@thomas jup die Sicherheitsrichtlinien, er muss, wenn er eine Anwendung nutzt explizit für diese die Bildschirmaufnahme erlauben, sollte er es im Browser verwenden könnte es sein das der Browser als sichere Anwendung installiert ist, also quasi gesandboxed ist dann kann diese Sandboxed sowieso nicht den Bildschirm aufnehmen.
Looks like Zoom has updated their Terms of Service to include the following paragraph under section 10.4:
Notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.
Should still keep in mind that Zoom can still do machine learning on your content, it just requires your consent to do so, at least there's an opt-in mechanism now.
Why does this company require customer backlash to do the right thing?
If privacy is important to you,
it would be a good idea to move your conversations away from platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet to use a more privacy-respectful alternative.
One platform that is more privacy-respectful for videoconference is
EDIT: Sadly, Jitsi just removed its anonymous feature for creating rooms.
It is still better than Zoom or Google Meet, but if you cannot self-host your Jitsi Meet server, read this first: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/
End-to-End Encrypted for One-on-One :blobs:
If you only chat with one person, chats are end-to-end encrypted. It is also fairly secure with more participants. More on Jitsi's security here: https://jitsi.org/security
EDIT: With the recent changes to Jitsi Meet’s public server, I now recommend self-hosting to avoid having to use a third-party account in order to create a room.
Versatile and Simple :ablobsmile:
Nothing new to download, Jitsi Meet works with any browsers. You can also use Jitsi’s desktop or mobile app if you prefer!
Why use a platform that is
spying and tracking you and your interlocutors when you can use a free open-source more privacy-respecful alternative! :awesome:🔒
@Em0nM4stodon I'm a little confused by the current version of this toot. Was there some other piece of news that came out after Jitsi started requiring authentication that made it an even worse proposition to use their public server? If so it would be great to get some more info about that.
If Zoom’s ToS change worries you, there is always open-source Jitsi Meet video conferencing without the 40 min cut-off time
Zoom’s March 31st terms and conditions Clause 10.4 change stating user conversations could be used in any way they wished, without an opt-out, had ruffled some feathers. It has again been updated to now state they won’t use customer content to train their AI ...continues
Sweet! Swedish Social Insurance Agency1 (Försäkringskassan) have ditched Microsoft Teams and are now using Nextcloud for documents, Element for chat, and Jitsi for video calls. These services are also installed on their own servers.
