    @masoud I looked at Plinth early on and it wasn't really functional. It's probably in a much better condition now. So a possible project for 2018 might be to devise some menu system accessible from a browser.

    @masoud Freedombone does support onion addresses for installed apps and there is an "onion only" version. That can work immediately, without needing your own domain or port forwarding.

    To be suitable for a mass market type of deployment scenario I think I'd need to devise a web based menu system rather than the existing one over ssh. Perhaps similar to Plinth.

    @frickhaditcoming Since the culture of the fediverse has usually not been very welcoming towards right wing agitators I expect that if Twitter does purge fascists then they will look to other systems instead, like SSB or ZeroNet where there are no admins.

    @frickhaditcoming If you mean mastodon.social then I'm pretty sure they do block many instances and accounts.

    @frickhaditcoming I'm skeptical that Twitter will go through with it, but if they do I expect the fediverse to handle it quite well. There have been episodes in the past where similar types of let's just say "extremely unpleasant individuals" tried to infiltrate and were rejected. Admins would just delete their accounts after they started posting objectionable content. It means that they then have to set up their own instance which everyone else can block, and then they're a contained problem. They can be as foolish as they want on their own instance, so long as it doesn't pollute the rest of the federation.

    @wolf480pl @davidross It might do to some. But if you're inside of a wealth bubble accumulated during earlier times when for example higher education costs were much lower and housing a lot more affordable then it can be difficult to empathize with people who didn't have those advantages. And so you have the archetype of the entitled baby boomer who is constantly blaming millenials for being lazy or for not having settled employment.

    @wolf480pl @davidross That must be a typo. I meant approximately rather than appropriately. There is no appropriate level of capitalism, and it always has a tendency towards monopoly and oligopoly. That was quite well understood in the early 20th century, and Lenin writes about it in his book on imperialism and does some early analysis on the consolidation of companies.

    But there are dialectical forces at work and so in the last century capitalism wasn't always the main goal. Labur and Capital fought for dominance. In the US and Europe in the post WW2 period the worst aspects of capitalism were to some extent ameliorated with state interventions of the Keynesian era. Here in the UK up until after the 2008 crisis starvation and food banks were pretty much unheard of, and diseases associated with malnutrition had been in long term decline.

    Proclamations about making a better world have been quite common from the people running well known Sillycon valley companies. Facebook is perhaps the most obvious example (see their FreeBasics campaign).

    @harmlessgryphon I havn't seen a lot of press about Mastodon recently. Maybe one article. Mainly it was earlier in the year. But also I'm not exactly searching for Mastodon articles either.

    @xahlee Fortunately, I'm not secretly using proprietary software. Not very much anyway. There are probably proprietary drivers in my LineageOS install, but that's about it.

    @lienrag It is indeed, although peertube depends upon WebRTC and so doesn't work fully with a Tor browser. I recently added it as an app in !Freedombone.

    This is quite a good article for Wired, which is usually notorious for breathless enthusiasm for any capitalistic crap gushing from Sillycon valley "rockstars".

    The value which these well known companies and their dubious CEOs provide is actually wafer thin, and is more about holding back or preventing change than enabling it. Other systems exist operating within a very different economic mode, and maybe in hindsight 2017 will have been a turning point.
