¡Brave le devuelve el golpe a YouTube! 🥊💥
En este inicio de 2026, Google decidió bloquear la reproducción en segundo plano (escuchar videos con la pantalla apagada) en navegadores móviles. La intención era clara: empujar a todo el mundo hacia YouTube Premium.
Pero el "navegador rebelde" no se quedó de brazos cruzados. Aquí te cuento cómo recuperaron la función en tiempo récord. 👇

The EU opportunity and danger, what grassroots projects can offer

What can grassroots #openweb people actually do when the EU is building alternatives to #dotcons, but with very real risks of recreating European versions of the same problems? This is a historic moment, for the first time in decades public funding is flowing toward digital commons and infrastructure sovereignty is being taken seriously. Federated technologies like #ActivityPub are gaining traction, largely due to years of grassroots work which is leading to initiatives such as @NGICommons […]

🔊 Thinking about the commons today, and this quote from Mark Herringer keeps coming back to me:

“Commons, for me, is like a forest… Digital Commons is a common good in a similar way. We want to look after it and make sure that others can use it after us.”

Curious how others here think about digital commons 🌍

Why mainstream EU tech funding needs counter-currents, why tech activism matters

Across Europe, large-scale “mainstreaming” tech projects are increasingly shaping the future of the digital commons. From infrastructure initiatives to sovereign cloud strategies and federated social technologies, the EU tech stack is becoming more organised, more funded, and more institutionalised. On the surface, this looks like progress. But history suggests that without active counter-currents, #mainstreaming inevitably drifts toward bureaucracy, risk-aversion, and quiet capture by […]

Is it to late to save the open web

Published Date 2/5/12 3:50 PM (UPDATED) This is still well worth a read, it’s too late to save the common web from Scoble and an answer from Dave Winer This is something I have been facing for the last few years, and its why i have been working on the visionOntv open web project. Phwww.... but as you may have realised this has been an uphill battle which has become bogged down in the trenches and the mud.

Yes, its messy stepping out of the churn

Everywhere we look - what we see, touch, and use - we are living inside systems shaped by decades of economic and technological assumptions. This isn’t only something happening “out there”. It has been normalised and internalised over the last forty years. The dominance of #stupidindividualism, combined with rigid economic dogma, influenced how we design technology, how we organise communities, and how we imagine progress itself. The outcomes are now starkly visible: #climatechaos, […]

Democracy? What Democracy? It's all about the old mighty cold dollar... ->

"When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking.

The Internet Archive has been recording the history of the internet and making it available to the public through its Wayback Machine since 1996. Now, some of the world’s biggest news outlets are blocking the archive’s access to their pages.

Major publishers – including The Guardian, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and USA Today – have confirmed they’re ending the Internet Archive’s access to their content.

While publishers say they support the archive’s preservation mission, they argue unrestricted access creates unintended consequences, exposing journalism to AI crawlers and members of the public trying to skirt their paywalls.

Yet, publishers don’t simply want to lock out AI crawlers. Rather, they want to sell their content to data-hungry tech companies. Their back catalogues of news, books and other media have become a hot commodity as data to train AI systems.

Link rot is an increasing issue on the Web, leading to inaccessible sites and broken links. To address this, Automattic and the Internet Archive have launched the free Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer plugin for WordPress. This tool scans websites, preserves content, and redirects users to archived versions of missing pages.

This image captures the vast, distinctive interior of the **Bibliotheca Alexandrina** (Library of Alexandria) in Egypt. The photo is taken from a high vantage point, looking down across the library's massive main reading room. Here are the key visual elements: ### **Architecture and Structure** * **The Roof:** The most striking feature is the high, slanted glass-paneled roof. The skylights are angled specifically to allow distinct beams of northern sunlight to enter the building without damaging the books with direct glare. * **Columns:** Tall, slender concrete columns support the roof. They feature flared, lotus-flower-inspired capitals (tops), a nod to ancient Egyptian architecture. * **Cascading Levels:** The floor plan consists of a series of terraced levels that cascade down like a giant amphitheater. This design creates a continuous, open space without distinct floor dividers, allowing visibility across the entire hall. ### **Interior Layout** * **Study Areas:** The terraces are lined with rows of wooden desks. Many of these are equipped with computer terminals, while others are set up for reading. * **Bookshelves:** Blocks of low-profile bookshelves are arranged systematically on the various levels, integrated directly into the study spaces. * **Flooring:** The floors are covered in polished light wood (likely oak), which adds warmth to the vast concrete and glass structure. ### **Atmosphere and Lighting** * **Scale:** Small figures of people scattered throughout the l

Fotografía en blanco y negro de un callejón estrecho y descuidado flanqueado por edificios industriales de paredes claras y desgastadas. En primer plano, las ramas desnudas de un árbol sin hojas cruzan el encuadre desde los laterales, creando un marco natural intrincado. Al fondo, se divisa un edificio más alto bajo un cielo nublado. El suelo está embarrado, con charcos que reflejan la luz tenue, transmitiendo una sensación de abandono y melancolía urbana.
