Lol

Here’s a trick : it sucks.

Please do.

Fediverse, assemble!

This is Linux territory MS, take your pedo CEO with you and leave, before we send our trans-hackers army after you.

I think it’s a good thing: we complained and they listened. FF is far from being perfect and I’m definitely not a fan of some of the decisions they made recently, but it’s still the best browser out there. It’s great that there is forks but they are only possible if FF base keeps being updated.

I appreciate you letting me know haha.

No shit. I live 1 hour from the US and won’t ever travel there again, pedonald or not.

I also was in charge of buying for around 300k of AV equipment for the project I was working on last year and, with the team, we agreed to cancel almost all our orders to US based businesses and replace it with other manufacturers. Zero regret.

On a shield Android TV, the official launcher show ads for stupid shows. I don’t want any of that crap and want to organize apps the way I like.

Yep! It’s in french but I’m working on an english version. Here is a link to the organizer’s website, It should pop up in the calendar by the end of week max. https://mnj.quebec/en/

• it’s scheduled for February 24

Cheers!

This has always been an issue. I’m just saying that now there’s an opportunity to bring people to the Fediverse.

One thing, though: I’m getting tired of the negative comments about it. I’m trying to educate people in whatever small ways I can, hoping to make a modest positive impact in this dystopian world.

Oh, I was talking about Loops, I have no clue about upscroll…

I’ve just installed the loops beta on iOS. I don’t really care for short form video content in general but here’s to hoping open social media can become more mainstream.

Same. Not my bag but if we can get a peak in registrations, that might help to promote the app.

Oh, I just realized I’ve sent my reply to the wrong comment lol. Check out, my reply to frongt, it was intended for you.

Yeah, I guess it can do that. But as mentioned, I give workshops about the Fedi to young people, so I try to write information in an “appealing” way to them. Maybe I’m overdoing it.

It’s no AI. I write in french and use my translation software (Antidote) to translate and optimize my text. I actually know how to write pretty well, I just don’t want to spend hours translating.

It’s open source and decentralized.

I haven’t really used it, since I’m not interested in that format, but I know tiktok is where the youngster are and I believe many of them are not as stuck-up as people of my generation.

I don’t see why this wouldn’t be allowed, this is the Fedi, it’s open to various opinions.

My problem with this is the same with all the proprietary platforms, the only thing that matters is the amount of money it can bring to investors. So when Bluesky gets popular enough, some rich douche will make sure to gain control over it and use it as a propaganda machine for the right, it’s just a matter of time.

I know it can be challenging to convince people to migrate, but it’s crucial that we keep spreading awareness. I recently tried posting about decentralized alternatives on r/tiktok, but it seems the post was suppressed. I ended up sharing the same message as comments in relevant discussions instead.

Even small actions matter. If each of us can introduce just three people to the Fediverse—and they do the same—we can create a ripple effect that drives real growth.

Personally, alongside talking with my students, I’ve started running free workshops in Montreal on “deGAFAMing” your digital life. The first sessions had only 5–6 attendees, but the online version I’m hosting in February already has 30 registrations. I’ve even helped a small organization transition from Google Workspace to Nextcloud.

No matter how small your action may seem, every effort counts. Keep sharing, keep inviting, keep building. The future of the internet depends on it.

Here is a message aimed at tiktok users you could share around:

*If we leave TikTok for another proprietary app, we’re just moving from one walled garden to another. Sooner or later, the same issues—censorship, political control, or corporate takeover—will follow us there.

That’s why we should try Loops instead. https://loops.video/

Loops is a decentralized alternative. No single company, political group, or billionaire can buy it or control what you see. You own your space. You shape your feed. You keep your voice.

Yes, Loops is smaller right now—and it might take a little time to adjust. But with your help, it will grow into the vibrant, free, and people-powered platform we deserve

Here’s a short video introduction the Fediverse and decentralized social media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRJHIJy5Nno *

I don’t get why gamers are so obsessed on hating ubisoft while at the same time praising Steam. Both are evil capitalist business, the difference being that ubi employs thousands of dev while steam as sub 300 employees (while taking 30% of every game sold lol). This goes for all the major studios, no matter how much youn like or hate their games, the executive only care about money and the devs want to work on games while being paid.
