Odysee presents new AR-based payment system, discontinues Stripe payment and LBC content boosting:
odysee.com/@Odysee:8/introduci
(Discontinuing LBC support probably means the platform won't be connected to the LBRY blockchain anymore. Also, content discoverability will be hurt pretty much, even if creators can get monetized, smaller creators will have a much harder time being discovered. I get that their new parent company Arweave is probably forcing them to switch to their crypto stuff and ditch LBRY, but it will probably just hurt the platform in the long run, especially because the new payment system requires signing up to an additional service, which many people are not a big fan of.)

Leider kann ich meinen Windowsrechner noch nicht loswerden #gamer - aber das kommt bestimmt auch noch irgendwann... 🤞

The French city of #Lyon will also be replacing Microsoft for #opensource solutions. Really curious what #Linux distro they will choose 👀

Also featured; #Jitsi for video conferencing, #Nextcloud paired with #OnlyOffice for document sharing and co-editing, #Zimbra for email, #Chamilo for online training, and #Matrix for instant messaging. 🔥

Have you been laid off? Me too.

What if instead of just finding another job we all team up and build something together? At least we could act as accountability partners and help each other through this phase in our careers.

It doesn't have to be too formal, we could just take turns talking about our next steps and checking in on progress.

"Next gen" #matrix clients only sending messages when all sessions in a room are verified is super annoying and unintuitive as soon as this happens in a bigger, private, encrypted chatroom. You can't just kick or force everyone in the chat with unverified sessions or force them to verify.

Furthermore: existing client implementations don't have proper fine grained controls (AND DOCS!) for this (yet).
