Inflationsrate in Argentinien steigt auf über 200 Prozent
Seit Monaten leidet Argentinien unter einer extrem hohen Inflationsrate. Als Reaktion darauf will die Zentralbank nun 20.000-Scheine der Landeswährung Peso herausgeben.
A call to everyone in the wider @gstreamer community:
In addition to providing a more modern system for realtime and non-realtime discussions for the @gstreamer community, one of the main goals with setting up a #discourse and @matrix instance was to provide an official location for discussions on the development of, and with, GStreamer instead of several different silos.
Over the years (decade?), we have all moved those discussions in various places (reddit, stack-overflow, discord, slack, internal company chats, etc...). Now is the time to bring those discussions back to a central location so we can all benefit from our shared knowledge and expertise.
Having all those discussions in various places are impossible to follow, and sometimes only the outcome is shared in "official" places (gitlab, discourse, matrix) which means that a lot of the background and thought process is missing and has to be repeated again. A waste of time for everybody.
Same for new ideas or questions; discussing them in other places misses the feedback of the whole collective. Maybe someone else has looked into that problem/idea; the earlier you share it, the earlier people can chip in and point out their experience or thoughts (or heck, even a link to the solution/code !).
I have definitely fallen guilty to only discussing such things in closed silos, and sorely miss the "old times" where all discussions were happening in an official open location.
Some might think that such and such discussion isn't worthy yet of discussing it in discourse/matrix. But keep in mind that those places have search features (your discussion might provide an answer to someone else later), and referencing previous discussions is also much easier. So by having those discussions there you actually enrich that collective knowledge.
Furthermore, as discussions and topics grow, it is trivial to create new rooms/categories to have discussions more centered and avoid information overload (which isn't great either).
The next time you have a discussion related to GStreamer in closed/other silos ask yourself the question "Shouldn't we be discussing this with in the GStreamer discourse/matrix?"
@gstreamer isn't great just because of the code, it's great because of its community and collective knowledge and what we can build together.
This is a great use-case for #PESOS, "Publish Everywhere, Syndicate on Own Site". Everyone could use their preferred tool to contribute to the discussion or codebase, and all of it is recorded in a central, official repository.
This would be a lot easier to accomplish if all those tools and forums had #ActivityPub

Non tanto diaria: sui perché e percome degli aggiornamenti del Wok. Ovvero, perché dovrei scrivere di piú sul Wok, o almeno riportarvi tutto quello che metto su #Mastodon
Question for #indieweb folks: I remember a discussion about a syndication model that describes one of the ways I handle social media and my own site. It's sort of a selective/curated #pesos.
I don't import all my posts, just the ones I feel worth preserving, and those often as first drafts. I'll expand, rework, or otherwise finalize the posts on my website.
I could swear I saw someone come up with a term for this model, but I can't remember what it was!
The technology is still alive, it's still being actively (and passively) used. Feeds are still being produced by a surprisingly large part of the Internet, and still being consumed, but the general public has been made unaware of this, to push the centralized social network paradigm of the attention economy.
I believe there might be an opportunity now, with the Twitter takeover bringing attention to the #Fediverse and rekindling interest in #POSSE and #PESOS, to reverse the trend.
