    Yeah, ebay turning into yet more "doom" has kinda happened for me as well. Current inflation & tariffs has turned me from my long time hobby of "flash foss OS onto random cheap device no one expect one on" into "guess I really don't need that thing anyway." Whether this is saving us from more rampant consumerism, or just ending with more stuff being dumped into landfills as e-waste, all depends on your perspective.

  3. Un lobby vélo trop seul pour peser face à la flambée des prix des carburants?

    > Le prix des carburants flambe, les ménages trinquent — et le vélo reste toujours absent du débat public. C'est ce qu'on observait ici même en avril dernier. La FUB (Fédération des usagers de la bicyclette) prend enfin la parole. Un mois après la crise, et…

  4. Woensdag deed de rechter uitspraak in een kort geding over de overname van Solvinity, het bedrijf achter DigiD. De overname door het Amerikaanse Kyndryl mag doorgaan. Er zijn niet alleen zorgen over privacy: de VS heeft met DigiD ook een 'kill switch': op elk moment kan de DigiD worden geblokkeerd.

    Nederland wordt daarmee chantabel. Met de huidige geopolitieke situatie is dit helaas geen puur hypothetische mogelijkheid...!

  5. Néonicotinoïdes : les alternatives existent, contrairement à ce qu'affirme Duplomb - Basta!

    > Laurent Duplomb revient à la charge avec une nouvelle proposition de loi pour réautoriser des insecticides tueurs d'abeilles. Des filières sont dans l'impasse, affirme t-il, citant un rapport de l'Inrae sur les alternatives aux pesticides. Débunkage.

  16. 🚨 Oh no, tech hipster alert! Someone's worried about their precious #Bun, now owned by *big bad* #Anthropic. 😱 But don't worry, Bun-nerds, it's still #open #source, and the roadmap's intact—yawn. Just another day in the world of "I swear it's different this time" #JavaScript #alternatives. 😅

    La #SouverainetéNumérique est devenue un sujet pour nombre d’entreprises, reste à trouver les #alternatives. Intégrateur certifié Alcatel et téléphoniste historique, AOC Télécom a développé une alternative aux grandes plateformes collaboratives étrangères.

  23. Has anyone tried or heard any feedback about crossoverDOTcom a site for #remotejobs for some reason it is not loading any data about current opportunities and I am not sure if it's just me. I doubt downdetector would flag it.
    If you are aware of this portal, could you #recommend some additional #alternatives for remote #jobs that are not geo restricted?

  25. OMG Social media improvement idea!
    Option to publish individual posts to be, allowing no further edits except emphasis.

    Like, you can change the formatting forever onward to be:
    "make this bit bold", "italicise the other thing", or "strike-through that", "underline whatever".
    Maybe add a redaction feature, in case you want to keep a post up, [but remove sensitive info you left in].

    Or redact any hacked or bot posts, leaving that portion up as, like, "hey this is when stuff got annoying".

  26. My wife is switching to Zorin OS from Win10. She needs a replacement for Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) to download protected ebooks.

    She uses Calibre to remove DRM, but needs to keep the original protected files, which seem only available via ADE. Does anyone know how to download these original protected files without ADE?

  30. As fascism descends, you are going to need easy to access and use alternatives to Big Tech (aka Fascist Tech).

Spoiler alert: they're all just different ways to tell your computer what to do 🙄.
