I was saw annoyed when they started showing shitty video games ads on the frontpage I stopped my subscription.

That’s nice

Will it be possible to have decentralized pull requests? Like I open a PR on my site, my friend reviews my PR on his site, and I get his reviews on my site?

Here’s a list I had compiled of non Google/Apple alternatives.

• Murena (France) with /e/OS (France) on:
  • Fairphone (Netherlands)
  • Hiroh (USA)
  • SHIFTphone (Germany)
  • Teracube (USA)
• Punkt MC03 (Switzerland)
• Volla (Germany) with Volla OS or Ubuntu Touch (Germany)

As far as I understood, those noises would come from gas or diesel electricity generators and cooling systems.

Hi, I’m the brave soul reading it for you.

Currently, the Dutch government’s code is spread across GitHub and GitLab, neither of which is under government oversight.

GitHub got ruled out first because it’s proprietary software, which directly conflicts with the government’s own policy of preferring open source when options are equally suitable.

GitLab made it further in the evaluation but didn’t survive it either. The issue was its open-core model, where the Community Edition is genuinely free software but the Enterprise Edition is not.

Forgejo came out on top due to its fully free and open source nature. Licensed under GPLv3+ and governed by Codeberg e.V., a democratic nonprofit, it has no enterprise tier, proprietary upsell, or vendor lock-in problems.

People don’t want to give up that luxury now that they’ve had it.

Maybe people should also take some responsibility there?

2027, year of Linux car, or bicycle.

Just reminding people Kobo is not just that nice little Canadian tech company anymore, it’s part of tech giant. So don’t fall for the David and Goliath narrative that is implied here. It’s rather third-rate Goliath and Goliath. So take your precautions where you can. I sadly don’t have an alternative to suggest.

I don’t want to ruin good news, but everyone needs to know that Kobo is owned by the shitty Japanese Amazon equivalent called Rakuten since 2012. So the risk of enshitification is pretty high, why not if the hardware is nice, but try to cut as many software ties as possible.

Strawman fallacy, these people do not support the genocide, they support electing the lesser evil.

Edgy leftist teens in particular

Who finances the Sovereign Tech Agency?

They over-consumed the goods from those countries and they lost their minds.

I’m happy for your people and for Europe. I hope this movement keeps its promises.

Allons-y!

Remember the resurgence of jokes about France surrendering? Same background.

Btw, it was not only refusing to let them fly, but primarily refusing to join the war while the UK, Australia, Poland, Spain or Italy did join that time.

So did France, which is the top military in EU. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/europe-pushes-back-us-military-operations-concerns-over-iran-war-mount-2026-03-31/

Yep, literally the whole habitable layer of our planet.

Wasn’t India already enjoying cheaper Russian oil because of Western sanctions?

I guess they are just doing it more openly now that there’s another stupid war in the Golf so more countries are stressed by energy prices.
