Le plus drôle dans ce flot ininterrompu d'inepties, mensonges, raisonnements foireux, et consorts, c'est le fait qu'on y apprend que la République n'a aucune base légale... en s'appuyant sur un texte de loi pour le démontrer. Ça relève du chef-d'œuvre :o

Coming from France, Framasoft is a big contributor to open-source, privacy-respecting tools

Je ne suis pas surpris par ce rapport, ayant réalisé mon parcours dans une école d'ingénieur spécialisée dans le numérique, ma promotion comportait 4% de femmes en première année, et le chiffre en sortie est plus faible encore

Le plus inquiétant restant le fait que les initiatives pour inciter les jeunes femmes à s'intéresser au numérique sont soit des assocs étudiantes, soit des primes financées par les GAFAMs, ce qui en dit long sur le niveau de parité dans ces milieux

I wanted to give Lineage a try, but I went traveling last July and installing a new ROM abroad really didn't sound like a good idea, despite the EOL on my current ROM 😅

It's really a shame that the /e/ ROMs don't at least integrate the system patches from upstream, since they are indeed based on Lineage (just checked now), and Lineage still supports the Pixel 3a

I guess it might have to do with upkeeping their fork of the Lineage software, or their own launcher being incompatible with modern versions of Lineage

Had been on Calyx for a while, must say /e/ was definitely a better experience, haven't tried anything else besides that

I think /e/ is forked from either Graphene or Lineage (not sure which one) but comes with a full FOSS suite of replacement apps that integrate with the Murena online services (can also use a regular Nextcloud instance)

It'a neat and tightly integrated out-of-the-box, worked really well on the 3a, but most apps sorta fell behind in terms of features in the long run compared to traditional FOSS apps, might also be due to lack of updates since the device is considered EOL

I'm looking into getting a Fairphone with iodéOS next, since my 3a doesn't recieve updates anymore and the phone's been agonizing from all the traveling haha

Running /e/OS on a Pixel 3a, only downside is thart system updates have stopped being distributed a while back. Otherwise very satisfied with the experience.

My pick has to be The Linux Experiment, especially his Open Source News Podcast that I listen to every week !

I used YunoHost to set it up.

My first idea was to have the instance locked behind the YunoHost auth, since Pixelfed supports LDAP.

But I could not manage to make the LDAP work, so I went instead with a public instance that has ActivityPub disabled and all posts set to "Followers Only".

People could also set each of their accounts to "Private", but the follow requests were not working when I first set up the instance.

Been running my own instance for a couple months now, just for me and my friends, so that they would stop sharing private pictures on platforms that would process/sell the data. But, as always when it comes to new, privacy-respecting tools, I'm having the hardest time making them move to the platform, despite the fact that the Pixelfed instance itself has been running smoothly.

Money can't buy happiness; but at least you can live miserably in comfort
