  1. @k9ox

    Zoom Inc doesn't make sense in the same context as wikis. Why throw away our freedom to control our own community software?

  2. Yesterday we successfully moved to a new Mastodon instance run by some of our curators: fedifreu.de
    It's running a friendly fork of Mastodon called #GlitchSoc which gives us many nice features including Markdown posting, polls with more than 4 options, longer toots, and more. See glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ for details.

    Today we published a new version of switching.software with too many updates to list. Check it out for the latest alternatives to proprietary software!

    We know that our website still contains some outdated content because this project had a period of inactivity. If you notice errors or omissions, please search for existing issues in our Codeberg repository before creating new issues: codeberg.org/swiso/website/iss

  3. In future, I will only send this link to @switchingsoftware when people ask me again what is good for what on the PC. Unfortunately, many still say they are skeptical, but in reality they are too lazy to learn and teach themselves.

  4. As I will co-ordinate the latest reboot of the @switchingsoftware website on behalf of @digitalcourage, I just decided to offer another #LightningTalk at #FnF2022:

    switching.software is looking for volunteers”

    In case you don't know, #switchingsoftware is an alternative to alternative.to, namely a website recommending ethical alternatives to proprietary software and services.

  5. Super awesome #website (no.398)

    switching.software

    Learn the free-licence software that you can use to replace closed, or corporate software that extracts money or data (or both) from you.

  6. @joeligj12 E.g. #swiso still endorses #DuckDuckGo, even though there's a huge list of serious issues (techrights.org/2021/03/15/duck) while at the same time there are tens of better options that #SwitchingSoftware ignored.

  7. @dpwiz @mxtthxw @FediFollows @switchingsoftware if "pack your stuff" & "walk away" is a metaphor for boycott #Cloudflare, that's indeed what I do. I boycott all of #MACFANG. But this is not about me; it's about #switchingSoftware, who is betraying their readers by lying to them about the openness of the #Cloudflare site that they endorse & by concealing the pitfalls which directly contradicts the #SWISO mission.

  8. Switching.software suggests FOSS and federated alternatives to closed source apps and centralised services. You can follow at:

    ➡️ @switchingsoftware

    The website itself is at switching.software

    You select what you want to replace, and the website tells you the better alternatives.

  9. switched to openboard keyboard from simple keyboard on android. Both are based on AOSP keyboard project but open board has more features.

  10. @minino

    Früher hat #SwitchingSoftware da regelmäßig Beiträge zu veröffentlicht, aber der/die ist dann ja leider plötzlich spurlos verschwunden :-(

    Ansonsten posten auch @Gargron oder @fedilab hin und wieder nützliche Mastodon-Tipps.

    Aber eine Sammlung? Ne, da kenne ich leider keine.

    @ddeimeke

  11. @rgggn @selea @switchingsoftware ah, and I just realized what is "Mirror" there, it's a multiple GNU/Linux distros' repository mirrors. Even Trisquel is there. It provides both ISOs and package repositories. This is really amazing.

  12. @rgggn @selea the services he provide are: disposable email, mastodon instance, privatebin, searx, mirror, freedns, mailing lists, matrix server, etc. Wow. This deserves support. Thanks @rgggn for letting me know.

    Hello @switchingsoftware, please consider this for your All-In-One Alternatives page. Thank you.

  13. @swisode if you need help, resources etc with this project maybe set up a toot asking for it, it will be boosted far and wide.
    I think this project deserves a proper setup and it'll help many people to come.
