Renaming the bus factor into the SUV factor would make it much more realistic and dreadful.

And if anyone doubts it's true, read police reports of detained ecologist activists. They describe using Signal as suspect/delictful, simply because they perceive using as a resistance act against their power, against the power of states and capitalism. Stepping out of the GAFAM line is suspect, so as @ploum suggests, we should make it the norm.

@bobmagicii @evacide And the secret third half is to listen to those fighting other fights and to document yourself about other struggles, even if you don't actively take part of them.

In 2022 I stopped using Twitter and got a bike, in 2023 I stopped using Google Calendar and got a pocket notepad and a wristwatch, and in 2024 I tried to read more (radical) news on paper, buying them cash. I feel in 2025 I really should stop using any Google product voluntarly (I still use Youtube, Maps, and Image Search a lot), replacing them with super private alternatives, ideally fully offline, or even replacing them with analog counterparts. 😬 Messaging will be for 2026 I guess. 😮💨

I want a good offline OSM app, a good offline Wikipedia app, a good local-first CRDT-based calendar app, a good local-first CRDT-based notes apps. I want external data I consume to work fully offline and to not just be a cache of what I already consumed, I want to be able to share the data I downloaded between my machines, I want data I produce to be only live on my machines and to be automatically replicated between them. I don't want to leave traces unwillingly for every mundain thing I do.

@abolisyonista For those who read French, Alternative Libertaire published an interresting dossier about the Hawaiian revolution in their July-August 2021 edition, you can find it full online here: https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/revolution-haitienne-1791-1804-1684

@abolisyonista Wait until you learn you've been speaking prose all this time without even knowing it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Bourgeois_gentilhomme

@alatiera Wait IIUC it allows fixing tiny things in older commits without some tedious interactive rebasing!?

@lanodan @nekohayo See https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/12/mycroft_patent_troll/ and https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/13/linux_ai_assistant_killed_off/.

I wonder what it would take to have decent FLOSS text-to-speech support on Linux.

@nekohayo That's pretty much what I had in mind. Too bad Mycroft got crushed by patent trolls. 😔

I find myself using Tuba more and more on the desktop over my instance's web UI. It really grew into a competent client for Mastodon. Thanks a lot @GeopJr! :blobPikaUwU: https://flathub.org/apps/dev.geopjr.Tuba

Je trouve étrange qu'on parle d'inaction climatique quand ceux qu'on accuse redoublent d'efforts contre le climat.

@garrett Sadly I have the same experience, lots of friends are switching away to Signal or Discord simple because of the infamous indecipherable messages issue that lasts since last Autumn. If you ever hear about a properly encrypted, open and free, trustable, monolithic, decentralized, federated IM with a decent UX please let me know.

GitLab allows you to sign in with an account from any proprietary platform, but not from another GitLab instance. ?
