    @der_On Let’s see. Once we have a bit more to show perhaps things will change.

    @aral my team at GitHub also just pushed out default branch renaming. You can perform these changes on GitHub and we will walk contributors through updating their clone’s default branch. Also we will handle redirects for old URLs that point to your old branch name.

    And now we have the captions and transcript up on our site for the Small is Beautiful #3 livestream.

    This was a really great discussion, so much fascinating detail on the strategies for introducing more ethical (and easy-to-use!) computers into schools.

    99% of programming is figuring out why you received a banana when you asked for an apple.

    (And the answer is always “because you actually asked for a banana all along.”)

    @greenpete In this case you’re renting with money for services. Again, ideally, yes, we’d host all our stuff and make our computers from the chip up my smelting our own ethically sourced silicon. Today, we have to pick our battles and focus our energies on where we can do the most good. The lines may shift with time as resources/time allows. This is basically the best we (Laura and I) can do right now while working on something without hopefully becoming homeless soon.

    @aral @silmathoron such a pain... If you have a startup idea with basically zero realistic chanche of working, combined with some unethic business model, you are still much more likely to get public funding than if you propose something that is "only" made for the public good.Even worse, in some EU-funded projects one must include some disfunctional idea that maybe maybe maybe will bring in some money that can be used to demonstrate one thinks of "sustainability". These mostly do not work, so it's mostly just a tax to the gods of business, in which you must demonstrate to have faith... In practice, one has to throw away, say, 10% of project budget to do something completely useless but that "looks like businness".It's the cost of ideology. Either way, I still believe that public funding should eventually become the main source of support for "small web" core technologies and a different approach to platforms more in general.

    @FreePietje Not sure I understand what you’re saying. Reply to a post that doesn’t have alt text with a post describing it. Someone viewing the thread will be able to read the alt text in the reply.

    @greenpete Yeah, you kinda need those if you’re playing a video hosted on Vimeo :)

    One of the hardest challenges in curating the @better blocking rules has been to ensure that legitimate routes are not blocked.

    If you’ve migrated the default branch of your git repository from master to main, please delete the master branch and ensure that the main branch is set as the default in your git remote host (e.g., GitHub, etc.) so people don’t accidentally base their contributions on the master branch.

    If you do a git branch --move, you won’t have the above issue.

    Here’s a good guide for all this, including updating your local settings so that git init uses main instead of master: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/easily-rename-your-git-default-branch-from-master-to-main
