I won't enable DRM to play music.

I encourage everyone to chip in on this crowd fund campaign. Louis Rossman, well-known Right to Repair lobbyist wants to get laws passed in his country USA for Right to Repair.

This will greatly benefit projects like coreboot and riscv-related projects.

Right to repair means: access to schematics, boardviews and other such info necessary for repair. Presently, hardware/logic info is highly restrictive. This law would be a huge legal precedent for future rights.

@fatboy I think the mobile version of firefox removed the 'about:config' feature. You can try Iceraven which still has that feature and is based on Firefox? Good luck

The final result is:

* R = 25%
* G = 40%
* B = 36%

As expected (and described in the thread), the gamut is pretty low (ie. not an immense possibility of colours, due to fact that masto polls options sum is 100)

0..100 to 0..255 (in gimp) give:

* R = 63.8 (64)
* G = 102
* B = 91.8 (92)

HTML: #40665C

It's a soft, dark, bluish green!

It's complimentary color is #66404A (102,64,74)

Its triadic scheme:
#5C4066 (92,64,102) and #665C40 (102,92,64)

We could call it "Fédi-vert"?

This is a 24/7 stream of House and Techno music. It's powered by Owncast - a self-hosted FOSS live streaming solution. Music is produced by AI.

Intelligent house and techno music, mixed by AI.
:arrow_right: https://tv.dub.ninja/

Since the music is produced by AI, you can tune in anytime at your own will, and there will be infinite music waiting for you. This is not bad. I'm enjoying this while doing some light work and it's serving me quite well.

If you want to explore more of Owncast self hosted livestreams you can check out Owncast directory. More are announced by Owncast bot on Mastodon. It's a new project, but people are excited about it. Owncast is a very young project started in 2020 and just has 994 commits as of writing this.

The #Signal messenger has become very problematic lately, and most of its problems come from it being centralised.

You may want to follow and support a decentralised messenger project instead, there are many of them on the Fediverse:

➡️ @snikket_im - New initiative giving XMPP servers & clients a newbie-friendly unified look and feel

➡️ @xmpp - The XMPP standards foundation

➡️ @matrix - Matrix is best known for its Element client

➡️ @delta - Messaging through email

➡️ @briar - P2P messaging

All 3 Browser Ecosystem Suck!
Look's like everyone is following #Brave 's model.

#Chrome on device #FLOC
Brave's on device BAT Rewards
#Firefox and this new Scroll thing
https://firstlook.firefox.com/betterweb/

All 3 browsers are 'owned' (influenced) by Google.
The rendering engine (Chromium/Blink) & Funding (Mozilla/Firefox)

Alt browsers like qutebrowser don't have a cross device ecosystem

#Apple won't release #Safari as #freesoftware
We don't live in the magical #openweb
We are at the mercy of #google
