#GNOME 45 should be out today (maybe it already is), so here is my look at everything that has changed, and improved!

I wasn’t expecting that many changes, if I’m honest, and while none of them are huge, they still add up to a fantastic release:

If you live in #Florida, PLEASE check this week to make sure you are still registered to vote. Do it again in six months. DeSantis and Florida republicans have wiped hundreds of thousands of voters, mostly Democrats, from the system, focusing on those that were by mail registrations.

With the recent moves from #Twitter, #Reddit, and even #Youtube, I think it’s becoming clear that ads are not a sustainable business model in the long run (and yes, I know I run a YouTube channel funded by ads 😅)

I took a look at a few examples, at how this decline is also making the web worse for everyone, at alternative platforms, and tried to imagine what an internet without ads to fund content creation and big platforms could look like:

@caseynewton My uncle was (among other things) a #sysadmin for a large university here in Canada. Every so often, he'd receive an #email, subject: Email's down. Always, his reply: "no it's not"

Reddit tells rebellious mods of private communities they will be REMOVED unless they reopen - “We see no reason to reopen as I don’t think we’re the bad guys here,” yoasif, an r/firefox moderator who received the message, tells The Verge in an email. “Reddit has had a chance to reconcile with the protest for weeks now, and they haven’t.” #Reddit #redditmigration #RedditStrike #SocialMedia https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/29/23778997/reddit-remove-mods-private-communities-unless-reopen

Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen

Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.
