Got 3 different vaccinations today (Pneumonia, shingles and a COVID booster). Arm is sore, naturally, and now I'm starting to feel the vaccine blahs 🫩

COVID vax doesn't usually do me too bad, so it may be one of the others, or just having all three at once.

In any case, lethargy and mild malaise for a day or two are much preferable to COVID, shingles or pneumonia, so.

Got to get them in before RFK jr bans them.

It's #FairtradeMusicFriday! Here's a new submission thread for May.

As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist - it doesn't even need to be new.

Just make a direct public comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!

Buying or boosting will make an artist's day 💙

I think it is okay to move past the anti-PBR backlash. The hipsters all got way into it and they were wrong, and they're dead. They're all dead, okay?

So now, you know...PBR is a fine beverage. It's just fine. There is nothing wrong with it. It's a reasonable beer. I have drunk it many times, I would drink it again. I actually avoided it for a long time because of the hipster thing. But they're dead now: they have died, and they're dead. You don't have to fight them any more, the war is over.

So no one has to tell me how much they hate PBR if I post an image of an anime girl drinking PBR.

The money you spend at Spotify, Apple, etc DOES NOT GO TO ARTISTS for the most part. The money that DOES go to artists on those platforms goes by and large to the 1% of musicians -- the Taylor Swifts and the Beatles and BTS's of the world-- who have leverage to get decent contracts. Your typical independent, o and even many/most "successful" artists on smaller labels, make essentially NOTHING from streaming.
in reply to Ether Diver

By contrast, today at least, EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND goes into an artist's pocket (ok, we still pay payment processing fees, but it's like 50 cents). And even on a normal day, Bandcamp takes a *very* reasonable 15% of each sale.

Three sales today is equal, or better, to a YEAR'S worth of typical streaming revenue for the majority of artists out there...

And the bottom line is, if you don't support the art you like, it's going to stop being made.

And yes, I'm one of those artists (and here's my album, just in case:
etherdiver.bandcamp.com/) but this isn't even about me per se; if this post inspired zero sales for me but one for another indie artist, it's done its job.

THE STREAMING ECONOMY IS A LIE. SUPPORT ART WITH DIRECT PAYMENTS.

in reply to Ether Diver

One more note for those that don't know: it actually COSTS ARTISTS MONEY to be on the streaming services! While it's not a huge amount (starts at $20 a year), it's actually a net loss for possibly the MAJORITY of artists on those platforms. How fucked up is that?!?

By contrast, Bandcamp allows you to directly upload your music and host it FOR FREE, even if you don't charge people to download it.

So yeah. Support artists, not streaming corporations.

It's Not Just Antisemitism; It's Marxist Indoctrination

townhall.com/columnists/laurah…

The problem at Harvard, the other Ivies & academia in general isn't antisemitism per se; it is Marxism and the mandated groupthink that accompanies it. Watching adherents of the prevailing ideologies in academia is like watching schools of fish; if someone with the correct status decided it was time to promote Israel rather than denounce it, many of today’s most vocal antisemites would switch gears in a heartbeat.

White people will regain self determination if, and only if we support each other.

Don't believe so, best that's currently available is skimming through the video to look at the slides.

Here's my short summary of the presentation, I tried to denote what's being worked on (open PR), what's kinda being done (WIP), and things stuff they'd like to be done in the future (wishlist). May be somewhat wrong.
* Flatpak is stagnant
* Red Hat is working on a better way to preinstall flatpak apps (open PR)
* Flatpak should is slowly moving towards OCI and away from ostree (more tooling available, don't need to maintain their own tools)
* Better permission handling that is more backwards compatible (open PR)
* Should directly use Pipewire instead of Pulseaudio (WIP)
* Allow user namespaces in flatpak sandbox (WIP)
* Move dbus proxying into dbus brokers (wishlist)
* Improve network sandboxing (wishlist)
* Improve drivers handling, currently drivers need to be built for each runtime, could cause issues if using EOL app on new hardware (wishlist)
* Work on portals directly improves flatpak

Haven't seen the video, I'm only commenting based on the summary in the comments.

It's good that flatpak is switching to OCI containers. Hopefully that will end the flatpak's dependency hell. This week I was looking at flatpak as a way to publish my app and found the user experience (user is the app publisher in this context) quite bad. Could be skill issue obviously.

I thought I could just look into a database of flatpak runtimes, pick the one with the software I need, add additional packages and be done with it. Unfortunately it is not that simple.
First of all as far as I know, there is no "database" like archlinux.org/packages. You have to download the runtime and then search /usr/include/ or /usr/bin/ to check if particular piece of software exists in it.
Adding additional packages is also quite difficult. There are these runtime extensions which are like "baby runtimes" for special software like ffmpeg, java, etc. They kinda suffer from issues similar to the issues of the runtimes. And unlike in regular distros where you can get a package for almost anything, here you don't have the luxury and have to bundle that not so popular dependency.

I hope that with OCI I will be able to just provide the binary, a link to the base image and a list of dependencies to install and be done with it.
