OK, sounds good to me. Thanks for the quick reply.
- Comment on A new way to support open-source: OpenPledge 2 weeks ago:
So it’s like a bounty system then? Wouldn’t that contribute to low-quality PRs that are rushed to get the money ASAP? And what if the company tries to cancel the bounty right before the commit is pushed, when all the work is done?

- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 2 weeks ago:
What a great way to build trust in a newly born platform! And how respecting to the people that are using the platform! Way to go!
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I loved that the VP of Content added that mods will still be able to protest when Reddit is literally is getting rid of major tools for mods to do an effective protest. Like, I get that Reddit is a company, and that it’s a platform they own, and that they lose profit whenever a big subreddits get privated, but they keep giving mods middle finger after middle finger.

I liked the first season, but this feels a bit out of the blue, so I’m really hoping that they don’t screw this up.
- Comment on Telegram repeatedly refused to join child protection schemes 2 months ago:
The BBC contacted Telegram for comment about its refusal to join the child protection schemes and received a response after publication which has been included.
Where is it? I didn’t find it anywhere in the article.
- Comment on One Piece Anime Breaks Guinness World Record For Most DVDs Released 2 months ago:
They probably did, but you pretty much need to pay the guys behind the Guiness book for them to give you the record (there’s a form where you can apply for certain records for free, but it’s commonly disregarded by the Guiness guys afaik)

- Comment on GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse 6 months ago:
For those wondering what’s different with GoToSocial:
This project sprang up in February/March 2021 out of a dissatisfaction with the safety + privacy features of other Federated microblogging/social media applications, and a desire to implement something a little different.

Have you looked at Endless OS? It depends on what your father uses his computer for, but if it’s mostly web browsing, it could be nice for him.
- Comment on A fake recording of a candidate saying he’d rigged the election went viral. Experts say it’s only the beginning 9 months ago:
The recordings immediately went viral on social media, and the candidate, who is pro-NATO and aligned with Western interests, was defeated in September by an opponent who supported closer ties to Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Why is it always the Russian hackers? /s

- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 10 months ago:
For anyone wondering:
- There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
- This plugin isn’t made by VideoLAN, it’s made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
- The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: mfkl.github.io/…/unity-double-oss-standards.html

- Comment on How to Use Social Media as an Artist Without Destroying Your Soul - StayGrounded.online 10 months ago:
You missed the whole point of the article. If you don’t have social media, you pretty much aren’t advertising yourself. (What will you do instead? Ask people who like your art to show it to friends and family? Putting up posters in the streets saying “Please look at my art”?) No advertisement, no new fans of yours. No new fans of yours, no money from your art.
- Comment on Today I'm launching Flare, a video sharing site built on Nostr! 🎉 Like YouTube, ... 10 months ago:
As far as I can tell, content published via the Nostr protocol cannot be deleted, and this seems to be using it, so there’s that. Also, it seems like it allows you to easily send crypto to the video creator…? There’s also the fact that, whenever multiple are watching the same video at the same time, Peertube can pretty much create a P2P network to speed up download speeds, which I think no other video platform does.

- Comment on What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming? 11 months ago:
This. If you want to start coding on your own computer, the Python IDLE is great for beginners (it’s probably inside a package named
