  1. The #mandrake #Mandragora #officinarum (#Solanaceae) is native to the #Mediterranean region,evtl. except for the Levant, where it might be M. #autumnalis. It prefers open and drier #habitats. Its #roots can vaguely resemble #humanfigures, which is why it had #spiritual significance in the Middle Ages. G. Benítez et al.(2023) studied its history as a #medicinalplant.

  3. Bataille des OS mobiles : Peut-on vraiment échapper à Google et Apple ? 📱🛡️
    Qu'est-ce qu'une tech de haute qualité éthique et comment reprendre le contrôle de sa vie privée sans sacrifier ses applications quotidiennes ? 🚀 Dans ce nouvel épisode de La French, Steeve, JB et Mehdi reçoivent Gaël Duval, pionnier de l'open source et fondateur de Mandrake Linux, pour décoder l'avenir de notre indépendance numérique.

    En 2026, le constat est brutal : nos smartphones sont devenus des forteresses publicitaires où chaque geste est traqué (jusqu'à 12 Mo de données envoyées par jour chez Google). Pour contrer ce duopole, Gaël Duval a lancé le mouvement de la "Tech Bio" : une technologie sans "additifs", sans trackers cachés, transparente et souveraine.

    Dans cette vidéo, on analyse comment Murena et /e/OS réussissent là où Microsoft et Mozilla ont échoué. On décrypte les coulisses de l'ingénierie logicielle derrière la "dé-Googlisation" d'Android : l'utilisation de MicroG pour maintenir la compatibilité des apps, le nettoyage des couches bas niveau (DNS, NTP, Connectivity Check), et l'outil Advanced Privacy pour bloquer les trackers et simuler sa localisation GPS.

    Enfin, on débat de l'impact des nouvelles réglementations européennes (DMA) et du défi de l'intelligence artificielle locale : peut-on faire tourner des modèles puissants directement sur nos téléphones pour garantir une confidentialité totale ? 🤖

  4. My #introduction to #Linux.

    I was blown away by the #Battlezone clone #bz on cool #SiliconGraphics machines (with HUGE monitors) at university. That was my first indication that there was a world out there beyond #DOS and #Windows.

    One day, I bought #Caldera #OpenLinux 2.2 from #FutureShop. And I could play #BZFlag! It was amazing - but something didn't work. Maybe sound? I forget.

    Years later, I tried #Mandrake 9.0. I used it solidly until I discovered #Ubuntu. The rest is history.

  5. @lproven @theregister #FLTK helped me a lot to get what I am now. I used it (version 1.0.7) back in the year 2000, shortly after CUPS 1.0 came out, for my very first, own free software project, the X Printing Panel, a simple GUI print dialog, giving access to all pipes and whistles of the printers. With this I got invited to the big Linux show LinuxTag and there I got invited to work at MandrakeSoft in Paris ... I ended up leading #OpenPrinting ...

  6. Things I did from age 6–19 because of the #Ultima series:

    1. I lived by the 8 Virtues
    2. I founded “The Fellowship” in our school (w/o our school's knowledge)
    3. Tried the Mandrake virtues (j/k on this)

    If you think that was it… in 2003 I founded the #HolyOrderOfTheLight a multi-game, multi-region gaming guild.

    Guess which #Ultima virtues guided me?

    “The Axiom of Singularity”

    I even wrote this: im.youronly.one/yuki/ultima-6-

    “HOL” is still kicking. ^^

    That's how influential the Ultima series is for me. It shaped me. It taught me. It's a part of me. #Avatar #Avatarhood

  7. @ndrei nice! Not sure what my first thing was, but definitely went through , , , at various places of study and work too, and now , with a bit of , , thrown in somewhere....

    Long way back started out on but of course that's the odd one out here :P

  8. @gael You started early, in i386 times, Linux' first architecture. When I started in 1997 with SUSE 5.1 we had mostly Pentium and some i486, 8MB and 16MB RAM, FVWM, built KDE 1.0 first time in 1998 (?) (on SGI IRIX), installed Mandrake Linux for the first time on my first laptop mid-1999, and on my wife's PC in April 2000, got invited to work at MandrakeSoft to switch the distro to CUPS min-2000.

    So you did an important step to what I am now. Thanks!

  9. #OpenMandriva Lx 6.0 erstmals mit Server-Edition.

    #OpenMandriva, eine von der #Community herausgegebene Weiterführung von #Mandrake und #Mandriva #Linux, kommt in zwei Geschmacksrichtungen.

    OpenMandriva Lx ist der stabile Zweig der seit 2012 veröffentlichten #Distribution. Seit 2023 stellt OpenMandriva Rome den Rolling-Release-Zweig des Projekts dar.

  10. @lga31 @mlo
    J'ai essayé pendant un temps #MandrakeLinux puis #Mandriva, mais jamais #Mageia

    Je ne nierai pas ma préférence tout de même pour #Ubuntu (pas seulement parce que ça a été ma première distro à 100% et sans dual-boot) ou dérivée.

    Certes, elle n'est ni Française ni Européenne, mais d'une part elle a un cycle de vie que je trouve à la fois clair (2 maj majeures/an en avril et octobre) et pertinente (LTS tous les 2 ans) ; et d'autre part #Canonical propose un support professionnel à celui qui le souhaite.

  11. #myfirsttime was with Mandrake 8 and I didn't go dual boot, I went all the way.

    It took two days to get the winmodem working.
