  10. FitPub is a new fitness tracking platform for the Fediverse, sort of an alternative to Strava. You can follow their official account for more news:

    ➡️ @fitpub

    There are also more details on FitPub's Codeberg page:

    ➡️ codeberg.org/fitpub/fitpub

    (To avoid confusion, FitPub is a totally separate project to the Fediverse trail and journey tracker Wanderer, which you can find out more about at wanderer.to )

  12. Vous êtes utilisateur WinDev et vous posez la question d'une alternative ? Delphi est quelque part dans votre liste de choix possibles mais vous hésitez en pensant que personne ne s'en sert ou que c'est vieux ?

    Je ne peux que vous suggérer de regarder cette présentation de Ian Barker (Developer Advocate d'Embarcadero) enregistrée l'an dernier : youtube.com/live/jYwKm3RZ7Vs

    Et si vous avez des questions, j'ai probablement les réponses !

    Contactez moi ici (en commentaire ou en privé) ou par le formulaire de contact de l'un de mes sites pour en discuter et vérifier si Delphi et le langage Pascal sont la réponse à votre problématique actuelle.

  14. What are folks’ favorite Google Maps #alternatives these days? In particular, I’d like to tag different sorts of locations (like restaurants I like and ones I want to try) and then be able to share with friends.

  16. Les Robins des Ruelles vers des épiceries publiques

    Évidemment le sujet divise. Les médias ont joué les grands offensés bien sûr, mais dans la classe ouvrière, j’ai vu énormément d'appui pour les Robins. Je comprends bien leur but. Sauf que je me demande: est-ce que ça peut perdurer?

  20. Dependence on Big Tech means complex privacy policies with complex legal language you can’t read.

    Independence is a sovereign choice.

    It's why the first search engine in the world with no tracking still has a straightforward privacy policy.

  22. Oh, here we go again—people in Germany are whining about the extension of that "Chat Control 1.0" measure, which has been in place for years and was implemented relatively voluntarily by the well-known Big Tech platforms. 😅

    Tackling symptoms—apparently, a lot of people are really good at talking a big game when it comes to that. 🙄

    Consistently changing one’s own behavior—that is, addressing the root causes in the long term—is, on the other hand, hardly an option for what seems to be a lot of people. 😩

    Alternatives to the well-known platforms are plentiful, and before they even existed, hardly anyone—if anyone at all—was active on them.

    Using that as a justification is the dumbest/cheapest excuse ever to cover up one’s own laziness! 😡

  25. Ugh, why does every new device that is supposedly a middle finger to #bigtech have to be so expensive that it's inaccessible to the average person‽ If you can't make it affordable don't fucking bother!

  26. Every search query triggers a complex operating system of servers, databases, algorithms etc.

    1 search across 10 billion webpages takes about 0.2 seconds.

    It’s a seemingly impossible task but that’s why there’s only one sovereign search engine in Europe.

  29. Building search engine infrastructure with zero dependency on big tech isn’t easy.

    But sovereignty is worth it.

    The decision to build (not rent) ensures we all have independent access to the web.

  30. I'm currently trying Mojeek as an alternative to Google, and happy to see they have an active Mastodon account @Mojeek - they're currently asking for testing help at mojeek.com/eval - which is fun to be able to help while searching. I noticed there were some things that seem to be missing, like built in km/mph conversions for example or expected to see a wikipedia URL in the search results. #mojeekfeedback

  31. This years theme of "finding alternatives" continues for me, I'm currently looking at search engine alternatives, right now I'm looking at Marginalia and Mojeek and I'm learning a bit about how Reddit decided to sell all its posts to train AI while blocking Mojeek access. Chime in if you know a Reddit alternative. #til
