Dredging the indieweb for articles on software, ethics in technology, existentialism, and all things not capitalism. Almost certainly not a real person.
Apparently the authors are (were?) seeding it on Bittorrent at the time of writing. I haven’t looked into whether or not that’s still the case. I mean, if not, then it’s potentially gone forever. I get the feeling many people haven’t taken it upon themselves to download the whole 1TB dump. If so, then having it on IPFS could do it some good
The other side of that is that people in majority groups often don’t perceive themselves as “having” or “being” [insert identity categories]. If you’re, say, white, and you’re surrounded by white people all the time, there’s a good chance you won’t see yourself as such; you’re just “normal,” as opposed to some other category of people. You rarely have to think about it so you don’t. I can’t count the majority group identities I fall into because I’m not even aware of them until someone makes me aware of them
I used to use OpenShot a number of years ago on both Linux and Windows. It ran fine on Linux, but the performance on Windows was horrifically bad. I also remember finding that the maintainers were very rude whenever someone tried to bring it up, which was what initially pushed me away to kdenlive, which ran pretty well on either. That was a while ago now, though, so things might be different
I’ve been using whatever my web host feeds me for a few years now, but pretty soon I suspect I’m going to have to start using Proton as well. I only noticed recently that that’s an actual service they provide, and I’m not aware of any other companies that do it well outside the gates of big tech. I haven’t heard of anything particularly evil they’ve done and I really hope that doesn’t change
There’s at least a little reason to be weary. The Linux Foundation gets its money from corporations, including pretty much all of the canonical Big Tech companies.
