How did we get to Age Verification?
Age Verification is the new anti-terrorism. The trojan-horse of legal bullshit designed to strip the public from their rights, claiming it is for the greater good. But why this? Why now? I suppose I want to process the way I see it via a play. It will have very strange names, like Publicus ( that represents the public ).

You're awesome and I sincerely appreciate you!

Just did some #livestreaming over on my #owncast stream.ozoned.net .
Worked on the #bash script for my public #Peertube index file that's hosted at ptindex.btfree.org if anyone wants to use it!
Or if you want to create your own chain of trust, you can get the script at git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex and make your own!
Want to be alerted next time I go live? Just follow @ozoned@stream.ozoned.net from ANY Fediverse instance, and when I go live, you'll get a notification!

#OBS now supports WebRTC simulcast support.
I understand it'd be a HUGE undertaking, but what kind of time/money would it take to write a library to handle this to get it into #Owncast and #Peertube ?
Right now the single most expensive thing is transcoding. If we can support #Webrtc #Simulcast that moves to end users and the server can is just a pass through enabling anyone to run live streams through their Peertube or someone to run massively more Owncast streams at once.
So I'm being serious. What would this take?

RE: https://dair-community.social/@DAIR/116213345736660807
Interested in working at DAIR? We're hiring a communications lead, who we needed yesterday. Is that you? Please apply. Is that people you know? Please share the job ad with them so that they apply.
💥💥💥 No "AI" generated applications please. We read every application. E.g. we read through nearly 600 internship applications a couple of years back. It's pretty easy to tell whether someone is blasting slop or truly spending the time to apply.

UPDATES IN THREAD BELOW!
#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0
I also made a video including details & instructions.
Boosts Please! More diversity of people & languages in the data, is better!

Did you know that #Youtube can pull your videos straight from your own #Peertube server?
You don't have your own Peertube?
We run #TubeFree where we give 50GB of total storage, with options to go higher with a donation!
See givebutter.com/givebtfree for prices!
Want help building your OWN Peertube? We can help there as well! Just message me and let's work together!

I love the #Fediverse. I love #Peertube. Our strength is: we're decentralized. Our weakness is: we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?
Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.
How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex
Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: ptindex.btfree.org .
Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned , @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

@reiver@mastodon.social is there a #FediCon account? Or shall we follow you for updates?
I have to make sure I'm there this year, so I want to make sure I can start scheduling things as early as possible. 😁
