Really? I frequently use Wero but never installed their app. I use it through my bank application on /e/os

Nice result, but I find they are selling it a bit too much. I'd rather call it an exoplanet (orbiting a brown dwarf orbiting a star).

Exactly. Chile has a special status as host country of the observatory!

Hosting forgejo on a cheap Hetzner server is the best and easiest trick that happened in my work life these last years !

And in France you'd have gotten Clément Ader as reply.

My phone (Teracube) is running /e/OS now for 2 years. Nearly everything works out of the box (bank apps, e-identity apps etc ..). The only issue I have is that the app I use to tak…

Generally, I am supporting of that move. One thing leaves me non-plussed as a non-USA citizen, "the mass domestic surveillance of Americans" exception. That means that Claude can s…

Can confirm, I've put tens of zip ties on a Mars lander, and in other science instruments!

Baudolino from Umberto Eco (an excellent book) is partially about that, I recommend the read !

I think an unsung hero in making open source broadly known and adopted in France is Framasoft [ https://framasoft.org/en/ ], a non-profit association. They have since many many yea…

Judging by the amount of people who still suck at Zoom or Teams after 6 years ... I am not that sure :)

I work at a French research institute and our Zoom contract ends soon so we get to switch to Visio. It's not too bad but quite tier below Zoom. Noise cancellation is not great, bei…

After many years of Nova, switched to Olauncher. I'm a happy person.

0.8 Mmol?

> It might be dumb, but at least it's expensive. Just realizing that the reverse could be a selling point for a phone here: It might be expensive, but at least it's dumb.

After a long day out that started early, I can tell you that our riot police has no budget issues!

"The math". We don't have issue with the math, we just disagree on what to fund to balance things out. An example, 200+ billion euros are given yearly to large companies as tax bre…

For what it's worth, I have a self hosted git forge where I upped the maximum filesize limit. I use git repositories for my science projects, they can each have hundreds of large f…

forgejo [1] works well for me. It can be self-hosted, otherwise e.g Codeberg [2] runs a good instance [2] [1] https://forgejo.org/ [2] https://codeberg.org/

Yeah, the plurral was also just borrowed straight from French

I am at the intersection in this Venn diagram and I love it!

It degraded so much, I remembered how the UX used to be so enjoyable. Now, a forgejo instance hosted on an old raspberry pi at home is where my projects live, and it is fast and sn…

In French, I find that translations of Edgard Allan Poe by Baudelaire are really nice. I enjoy them as much as the original version. Sci-fi translations of US science fiction class…

I am a "republican", small "r" as you would say. I pay yearly fee to a "republican association" in a country that is a monarchy, the goal is to end the monarchy. Nothing of it has …

The aspen for me, I love how the leaves shake in the wind. My kid used to fall asleep watching them while I was carrying him around on walks at sleep time, good times!
