I don't have anything informative to add, but wanted to comment that I liked reading your story. Well done.

UPDATE: according the promo video on their facebook page this one has "improved GPS". No tech details on what that means. https://www.facebook.com/getJelly/videos/3438043796208898/

I agree, but if we have turned over ownership and control of media to private corporations we are foolish to expect anything except more censored, biased media in the longterm. As Cory Doctorow has pointed out the problem is that there are

When will there be a boycott of the New York Times for publishing the lies of Judith Miller that led to the direct deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children? Is there going to be a boycott of Coca-Cola for their support of right-win

I agree with most of what you write except this part: But, this faction lost. There's not conspiracy, people just didn't want what Bernie, Taibbi, et all were selling, that's all. There was and is a conspiracy in plain sigh

I found the GPS accuracy left a bit to be desired.

It's a different government now. The previous leftist one was doing inconvenient things so the USA had to get rid of it. The current one is doing what it is told though, so everything is fine: https://thegrayzone.com/

This is why black bloc: it's a tactic, not a group. Mass anonymity, reduce individual identifying marks.

As regards the Canadian police (especially, but not limited to the RCMP) they are no angels. Especially if you are indigenous/autochthonous. And that's because they are fulfilling the function for which they were created: taking

Freedom from surveillance facilitates criticism of the government. Do away with that and you end up with something like Russia or China.

Jitsi Meet works fine as long as you do not use Firefox. W.r.t. the general meme about WebRTC, this is old (2018) and explicitly does not claim to be anything other than suggestive: https://jitsi.org/blog/a-simple-conge

the US government isn't locking up and "reeducating" hundreds of thousands of its own citizens. Discuss.

Exactly. Assume that governments and large companies can and will spy on you and act accordingly. Do not get suckered into some simplistic nationalistic narrative in which "our" side is good.

I will not use it. Have used it once with some friends when it seemed churlish not to, but have refused to and suggested using Jitsi Meet since then with others including at work. Work insists on Microsoft Teams now. Oh well. At least I

S/he is not saying all governments are equal in all respects. As far as we know only the Chinese, Russians and the 5-Eyes have the technical capacity to monitor us all and have been caught out doing it. So yes, you are correct: not al

How can someone _subscribe_ to a hosted (by you or someone else) instance for a smallish (~20 participants max) class?

Keep advocating :) One thing about Big Blue Button though: a friend teaches in a smallish university and has been trying to find out how to get simple, turnkey hosted installations of it (the IT department is not interested). It seems ino

I like it, but..... it seemed too much like a series of individually beautiful pieces cut together with nothing more than the same soundtrack to hold them together.

No it's not. Fascism uses violence to coerce people. Pretty much every ideological system that is in power uses violence to coerce people. Liberals uses the police to coerce the majority of the population to not take their stuff.
