The main thing about Fairphone is not the phone but the supply chain.

https://www.fairphone.com/en/impact/

Nothing is perfect and a phone cannot make happy every one (is there a jack or not ...). But I'm happy that they try to make a good phone with all the hidden things in mind (from where come from the rough material, who is making the pieces and in which conditions ...). That's more important for me then the final product.

I'm tired of the argument that the solution to fight tracking/ads/subscription/gafam is self hosting.

It's a solution for some nice people that have knowledge, time and money for.

But it's not a solution for everyone.
We need more small nice open source association and company that provide services for people that don't know the difference between a web search engine and a navigator or just a server and a client. I think that initiatives like “les chatons” in France are amazing for that!!! ( https://www.chatons.org/en )

And just to be clear, I think that self-hosted services are a part of the solution. :)

You shared only the picture, not the link.

I don't know why, but that a sad news :/

Cons

  • No charger and no cable in the box.

That's a Pros in my point of view ! Because we already have a lot of charger/cable in are house usually.

Looks bad for privacy.... 😞

That's can be nice !

Until now we’ve relied on lexical search, trying to match users with questions and answers based on the keywords they supplied. But as I announced today, we’ll be adding semantic search in a private Alpha, built on top of a vector database, so that the responses generated from a search query can more intelligently align with the topics the user is researching.

Sounds like we don't need to know the right word to discover the good response. 👏

I think it's a good move.

What do you think about it guys?

Sounds good!

That's a hard work to try to be compatible with X11 and Wayland.

I hope that could simplify that.

It's only the groups that's choose to be public.

You have to configure it for that.

Matrix is perfect for private and personal communication too.

If you are concerned by privacy you should not use Google Messages because every messages passed through the Google server.

And it's not open source.

For my point of view it's too much to use it. :)

PWAs can be packed in .dmg and .exe.

I use Tuxedo InfinityBook since few weeks and I like it very much. :)

I love the concept to store request in files and that you can use git to version! Lovely

In the US, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have slowly moved to Google’s Jibe platform after years of maintaining their own servers for Rich Communication Services

I understand that the service is not provided by carriers any more but by Google.

And they hide this information a bit further in the app.

I love you're stack! PHP and vanilla JS 🤩 It's so KISS!

I like that I can install it on my o2switch server.

I have noticed that many developers are reluctant to introduce explaining variables/constants.

I do, and it's very helpful for me and my futur me and the other one.

Super interesting !!

One thing I noticed is that the results are good because of the "algorithm" and also because of the very good curation done by Hacker News community.

I wonder if WhatsApp is going to make a white list of compatible App or if they just open an API or document a protocol...

Anyway, I found it awesome.

If someone don't want to chat with a WhatsApp user it's always possible too.

Ooo!! 🤩 I love the concept!

Did you try with a more complex input video?

Thanks for the article!

Another use case: It could be useful for one software deployed in more than one server and if admins want to enable/disable features specifically for every server.

EU users will be able to continue accessing websites directly from their Home Screen through a bookmark with minimal impact to their functionality.
We expect this change to affect a small number of users. Still, we regret any impact this change — that was made as part of the work to comply with the DMA — may have on developers of Home Screen web apps and our users.

I agree that a lot of free software are old now and big enough to be lost.

Maybe you can find a new and simple project, like https://github.com/lemmygtk/lemoa to improve your skills?

As web developer working in a company as consultant, I think often that I use a lot of free software like framework / library and tools to build proprietary applications without paying the free sofatware I use.

I feel sad about that, that our clients and my company do not want to pay ( with some exceptions ).

That's a social problem.
Maybe some laws our just another culture about take care of our commons can change that.
We can still hope. :/

I didn't know Aves. It's very good ! Thank's

Owww! :(

That's sad. But at the same times trying to bypass a gatekeeper is always incertain. They can change something that is difficult to reverse enginering and it's the end of the story. :/

I like the preamble part very much 👏🙂

That's nice, but it looks like a workaround.

I can do it for myself because I'm a geek (but I don't want to), but if I say to my friends/colleagues that they need another smartphone at home they are going to look at me like I'm crazy !! 🫣

I like Kiss a lot too.

Very different than Nova but simple and powerful.

You resumed very well the triangle.

My dream is to build an app/service which is easy to use as Signal but compatble with matrix and xmmp.

Hi! I'm still reading the article but I'm already thankful that you shared it.

It's a good piece of software development and I like the way it draw a nice future for this. 🤩

I use Bitwarden!

I like that I can share password with my team. :)

The problem with peer2peer messaging is:

Though several apps that use the Tox protocol seem similar in function to regular instant messaging apps, the lack of central servers similar to XMPP or Matrix currently has the consequence that both parties of the chat need to be online for the message to be sent and received (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tox_(protocol)#Usability_as_an_instant_messenger )

That's why I think about using only decentralized protocol.

Both (decentralized and p2p) are usefull, but that not the same usage.

Nice! :)
Do you have to setup a bridge/bot for each room? Or is it at configuration at the server level?

For exemple if I have a matrix account and I use Element to create a new channel and invite some guys with IRC and some with XMPP?

I just discover https://puri.sm/products/librem-11/ and it looks great !

Not sure if it feat every point, specially the german keyboard ?!

I like it 👌

I use a some of Nextcloud App like Notes, News and also I try jtx instead of Tasks.

And OsmAnd, Jerboa, Signal, Schildichat (= Element.io), eOs.

I hope too! 🙏
