Rochko said at the time he was unaware of the connotation. “Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon’s web app started out with ‘Publish’. In 2016, a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon’s Patreon forever if I changed the button to say ‘Toot’ instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning,” Rochko said in a post last May.

I have been using BÉPO on my phone since a few years. It is a keyboard layout optimised for French, based on the principle of Dvorak. https://wikiless.org/wiki/BÉPO I still use AZERTY on all my physical keyboards as the switch is much harder, especially with my company or customers ones… The switch from a layout on a phone to a different one on a physical keyboard is transparent.

One simple way to have an idea if an app is not respectful of private data is Exodus Privacy. There are limits as it’s only for Android apps and it won’t alert you that the end-to-end encryption has a flaw or is a plain lie for example. But I think it is a useful resource especially for “non tech” people to have a global idea with just a quick glance, without spending too much time searching for reliable information. In this Stardust case, the MixPanel tracker is cited by Exodus Privacy, among two others. One could then think twice about using this app for sensitive data.

I am happy with the simple mobile apps suite on F-Droid, including the Simple Caméra app. The package name is com.simplemobiletools.camera I am not a camera power user though, and I only need basic functions. OpenCamera may be better; I don’t know.

The real one is the first result on Qwant.

My guess would be FreeCAD but I’ve never used it so I’m not sure.

Did not know about this. GeoNature is interesting to find places where a specific animal is often seen. It’s very cool these tools are open source. I wish they will be adopted more broadly.

I use Blabber.im but I never tried anything else.

Through a post about Lemmy on Reddit.

Active, with my feed configured on my subscriptions. In a post, I systematically switch on “top”, which is annoying to repeat this action every time. I would love to be able to configure independantly the sorting method for the feed and for the posts.

It red Wayland is an improvement on security. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol) https://www.secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/ Wayland allows application isolation. Keystrokes are not shared among all applications.

How ironic to share a “bring back web1” message on a web2 platform…

I guess it comes from the French « Système débrouille ». It makes sense in French, though I understand it could be confusing in English for tech people. https://wikiless.org/wiki/System_D?lang=en

I red that reverse DNS is needed to not be considered as spammer, but my internet provider does not allow it yet. So in the meantime, I use Protonmail because of the first point you stated.

It seems surprising to be greeted by a cookies banner on such a website. There isn’t even the option to reject them.
