People are slowly realizing that Android only weaponized open source licenses but was always meant to be a captive platform, like people are slowly realizing that VS Code has open source code but is a captive platform.Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.

It takes a whopping 17 seconds for Google Drive to create a second copy of a 15 KB document in the same directory. On a professional Google Workspace. On a paid plan.(I know about Nextcloud and I don’t have a choice here.)

I see a lot of reporting about the Louvre theft and that the French people are "relieved" that thieves got caught or that we feel "humiliated" that it happened in the first place.Absolutely not. Nobody around me cares one bit about it. We care about the public service disappearing, we care about the rampant corruption in the political spheres, we care about the pensions they're trying to steal from us.We're more than ready to trade stupid jewels for transparent democracy that works.

Pretty unimpressed that Velero encrypts volumes backups, but stores Secret resources in plain text on S3.Am I missing a way to encrypt them?#homelab #kubernetes #backups #velero

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-window/#firefox #ai #privacy

Mozilla sprouted Rust and Servo. They can do cool things that make the world a better place, even if it takes more work to extract a marketing argument for an investor brochure.It's frustrating to see Mozilla dig its own hole of irrelevancy.

If your employer gave you €1000 (or $1000) to spend on open source projects that support your work, where would this money go and why?#openSource #sustainability

For me I think I would spend it as- €260 on @gnome (price of a Win 11 Pro licence)- €100 to @YaLTeR for Niri- €100 to @flathub - €349 on @kdenlive (price of a Final Cut Pro licence)- €50 on @thunderbird - €50 on Helix- The rest as tips for small utilities that make my life easier

@tbernard and because what is happening in the US can happen in Europe (or has happened in some countries, even), as a citizen I want to use international, transparent, open tech.I don’t want tech nationalism.

Apple adds even more ads in the search of the App Store despite being outrageously rich.I’ve used Apple products despite them being opaque because there was a sense of quality. Cook is undoing everything that made Apple different.I can’t wait to have a usable alternative to the iPhone. That’s one more reason to donate to @postmarketOS https://ads.apple.com/app-store/help/ad-placements/0082-search-results

RE: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/115849772521760098It’s worth repeating. Android is not a viable base for an independent or even just collaborative operating system. Android is Google and only Google’s project.If you want to see an actually transparent, international, and collaborative system on phones, support @postmarketOS #android #opensource

If you’re going by train to @fosdem, heads-up that there are strikes announced between Jan 25 and Jan 30.https://fosdem.org/2026/news/2026-01-11-travel-transportation-advisories/#fosdem #train #strike

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/115962508398912420If you consider going to the US, whatever the reason, don’t, for your own safety.If you consider organizing an event to the US for an international community, you’re putting people’s lives at risk.If you want an English-speaking environment for an international event, pick Canada or the UK. Heck, even in Scandinavian countries everyone speaks English.

I also might not be responsible for too many more Matrix Conferences, but as long as I’m in charge I will never consider the US as an option.American folks are very welcome wherever we organize them, but I can’t put our whole audience at risk of being abducted.

A very nice first day at FOSDEM. I spent time at the @matrix booth and met overwhelmingly enthusiastic people, then left it to our fabulous team of volunteers.I’ve met Allan and @jsparber at the @gnome booth, got one of those fabulous systemd T-shirts, said hi to the @postmarketOS gang, got a T-shirt and brainstormed with @pabloyoyoista, got to thank Proxmox and OpenTofu for the great tools they provide.#FOSDEM is where internet friends materialize.

RE: https://learnk8s.news/@k8sfm/116046323448198787Bart and I had a nice conversation about how I got into Kubernetes despite not working in the field, and despite not running anything that needs to scale for Black Friday.#kubernetes #homelab
