Hey #MutualAid community,

 I have autism and struggle with social anxiety, so I’m reaching out today for a bit of mutual aid, if you’re able, please give this post a boost.

It’s a small ask, but I’m working on accepting my social anxiety, and your support would mean a lot and could help me find new friends nearby to overcome my social anxiety, heal, and feel more comfortable socializing.

I’m based in Bergen, Norway, with interests in Anarchism, particularly anarcho-syndicalism, as well as free software and Linux.

Thank you so much!

I am looking for a time-tracking software, specifically to track work hours, that can fetch and manipulate events via CalDAV, using an existing external calendar.

Does anyone have any tips?

Public Money? Public Code!
Software funded by taxpayers should be Free Software! This ensures that everyone can use, study, share, and improve the tools that serve the public

En mi página web oficial acabo de agregar una sección de "servicios", de modo que se puedan encontrar facilmente los poquitos servicios basados en #Software_Libre que autohosteo.

6 open-source programs I use instead of the paid alternatives

Well, rar is not "free as in free speech" as it's proprietary software, but it's free of charge for personal use. Given how the author seems to care more about not paying for software than supporting free (as in freedom) software, rar should be good enough. Of course, if her main complaint is that WinRAR keeps prompting her to "upgrade from the free trial," then it's an issue with WinRAR, not rar itself.

Chez #LesEcologistes comme dans la plupart des partis, l'autonomie numérique est principalement un élément de discours.

Dans les faits, les résultats du congrès sont publiés sur Google Drive et depuis un format xlsx.

Courage, @Greguti !

Outre tout un tas de belles choses et valeurs gravitant autour du thème de la #permaculture, je suis tombé sur cette rubrique nommée "E-Emancipation", qui parle des #LogicielsLibres, alors forcément, je suis conquis !

Connaissez-vous le dépôt d'applis #Android nommé #FDroid et son appli éponyme ?

Ajoutez-y le dépôt #IzzyOnDroid (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/) ! Il enrichira votre catalogue.

Certaines applis sont présentes dans les 2 dépôts. Celles d'IzzyOnDroid sont en principe dans des versions plus récentes. IzzyOnDroid fournit les APK les plus récents tandis que F-Droid compile lui-même les sources après contrôles

It's time for Microsoft Windows users to understand that GNU/#Linux :
contains no spyware, telemetry, bloatware, advertising or #AI
does not force users to register for an online account
is much easier to update
is safe and efficient "by design"
is not subject to programmed obsolescence
doesn't slow down over time
looks beautiful!

TIL that if your software is licensed under the GPL, you can't link against OpenSSL or other Apache-licensed libraries, either directly or indirectly: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094969

I mean you *can*, at least wrt. OpenSSL, but only if the entity which distributes your software doesn't also distribute OpenSSL. Meaning distros can't distribute your software, and you can't distribute a bundle with your software + OpenSSL.

What a mess. Staying away from #GPL from now on. #foss #opensource #freesoftware

OK! I was finally able to ask Yanis Varoufakis if he knows copyleft and the free software movement are behind him and if he'll work more with the EFF to push for public ownership of "the cloud".

I really want him to see and use the power of copyleft in his strategies with DiEM25 and the Progressive International. Neither group is much in the #Fediverse yet, I've noticed. But the political infrastructure exists!

Bonjour Mastodon ! Une courte #Introduction après avoir passé un bon moment en observateur .

Je viens des #Maths appliquées, et continue à m’intéresser aux sujets liés à la tech, quand elle me semble politiquement émancipatrice : #LowTech, #DIY, #LogicielLibre, #DonnéesOuvertes, etc.

Au quotidien, beaucoup de temps passé à farfouiller de la #Musique, un peu de #Cyclisme et de la #Cuisine

Mes pronoms : il/lui

Hello Mastodon!

A brief #Introduction post after some time as a fediverse observer .

I come from applied #Maths, and am still quite interested in related tech topics when they lead to more freedom and emancipation: #LowTech, #DIY, #FreeSoftware, #OpenSourceSoftware, #OpenData, etc.

In everyday life, a lot of my time is spent digging (and sometimes playing) some #Music, a bit of #Cycling, and #Cooking

Una nueva instancia de #LibreTranslate que monté hoy. LibreTranslate es un servicio web de traducción basado enteramente en #SoftwareLibre , que no depende de Google ni de ninguna porquería GAFAM para traducir un montón de idiomas. No es muy rápido y las traducciones tampoco son las más notables, pero funciona muy bien y sirve como alternativa libre a Google Translate.

La instancia está orgullosamente montada desde mi Raspberry Pi (la cual muestro en este video: https://video.hardlimit.com/w/ikLu3NcB6drzoFKDmMXa2z) y está hosteada desde mi hogar. Para darle más uso a mi RPi es muy probable que migre acá mi instancia de #SearX desde mi VPS. En todo caso, no les puedo prometer un uptime del 100% dado que la energía eléctrica se va muy a menudo por mi casa, pero sí les aseguro que mantendré el servicio lo más accesible que se pueda .

Pueden acceder a este traductor en: https://translate.autumn64.xyz

Si en su celular utilizan "Translate You" pueden poner la URL y las traducciones se harán desde allí.

¡Espero que les sea de utilidad! ;)
