Odysee removed LBC bid option from the text/file upload pages (when editing an existing post, the option is still there)
(No article about it)
(So they finally started their migration away from LBRY, and embrace the Arweave ecosystem, with the new crypto service which requires a separate account, doesn't seem that trustworthy... I mean, it's ok for me, as long as they allow to upload content without it, I'll just ignore it. Not sure how content promotion will work though, e.g. will my content still appear on the top of the Tech category, but if not, I'll rather take the loss of views, than registering a crypto service which I can't find the source code of, can't really trust (in case you're a new viewer, the Fossery Tech project stands for FOSS, only uses FOSS for everything, except for a few OS drivers and news sites). If they decide to restrict uploads, I'll probably make a separate LBRY channel.)

P.S.: As you may noticed, I didn't write the regular summaries for most news, just copy pasted the article titles. I decided to stop doing those summaries for most news (except for those where the article title doesn't tell much, like the GNOME 49 and Ubuntu 25.10 articles above), because it takes quite a lot of time which I can spend doing other, more useful things, plus writing those are pretty tedious, especially for the regular software releases, which aren't that interesting to me 90% of time, I don't really enjoy writing them anymore. But regardless, if I have some personal opinion about something, I'll share that, like I did this time too. Hope you find these posts useful this way too.

(I like the idea that they keep everything as it is right now for the community, and provide paid service for companies, instead of harvesting data to squeeze out money from users like the majority of companies do. Hopefully they won't be influenced too much by their future customers.)
