Comparison of #Bluesky and #mastodon

https://itsfoss.com/bluesky-vs-mastodon/

Do you have a #Linux #phone and are you sometimes doing a #run, walk, or something like that?

Then I highly recommend the #Jogger app.

I use it on my #Librem5.

I'm curious to hear your experiences.

Last year I got a new #Librem5 mobile #Linux phone. #GPS on this new one works, contrary to the very early ones I had.

Today, I tracked for the first time a run with the #Jogger app. Jogger is a great app available via #Flathub (https://flathub.org/apps/xyz.slothlife.Jogger).

To get it working, I had to do a little tweak on my Librem 5 (https://codeberg.org/baarkerlounger/jogger/issues/8#issuecomment-1103201), but then it nicely found my location and tracked the run.

Screenshot van de website van de #politie. Waarom kan ik de alleen op privacyschendende socialmediaplatforms delen? En niet op een pulbieke #waardengedreven platform zoals #Mastodon?

@awiel Heb je een linkje met achtergrondinfo?

@awiel Ik zie dat het nummer inderdaad ook niet in de tijdlijn van @NuOpRadio2 staat. Als ik het goed heb zou het tussen Bløf en Elvis Presley moeten zitten.

To all #FOSS supporting people traveling these days: Please consider collecting wireless geolocation information for the #publicdomain #geolocation database #beaconDB.

Check the map via the link above to see how it is filling up with more and more points. Amazing and very interesting to see.

Also note the differences per continent.

Hi @linuxfoundation, is there another place than youtube where I can see the videos of your events?

Why are there only buttons to surveillance capitalism platforms on your website?

I'm missing links to services like: mastodon, #peertube, #codeberg.

#GnuCash 5.10 has been released!

GnuCash is free and open source personal and small-business financial-accounting software.

I use it for financial administration.

What do you think about this?

Heel cool dat er op #pleio een #mastodon share button is!

Ik zag hem op de pagina over "De Toekomst van Federatieve Toegang":

Hi @potus why aren't you moving to an own #independent #mastodon instance? Or to a non #surveillance #hypercapitalistic instance?

@aral @hanscees Yes keep trying! Especially as you have all proposal texts now probably ready.

@aral @hanscees Thanks for sharing this information. Very useful. Sorry to read this: "I’m also done wasting time writing grant proposals to organisations that clearly do not care about supporting the work we do."
But reading the mail you received does not give me the impression that they "do not care about supporting the work we do", I read it as this decision was given by the "limited means".
Anyway, I will read more about https://small-tech.org/

@aral I've always hated 'human resources'.

Beleidsmedewerker @manfredzielinski bij het ministerie @minbzk was dit jaar aanwezig bij #FOSDEM: de Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting.

"...het hoogtepunt dat ik heb gesproken met de oprichter en met de kerngroep van #Mastodon... Ik heb verteld waar wij mee bezig zijn binnen de Nederlandse overheid... een eigen server die wordt beheerd door de Nederlandse overheid, namelijk social.overheid.nl."
