Nice reminder!

For which kind of projects do you give? What are the core apps, the most important softwares / teams you want to support?

For me, I think that Wikipedia, f-droid and davx5 are a bit the core of the core of my value and workflow.

What about you guys?

I use it too, work well! 🙂

Amazingly simple! 🤩

Very nice examples! Thanks for sharing :)

As web developer working in a company as consultant, I think often that I use a lot of free software like framework / library and tools to build proprietary applications without paying the free sofatware I use.

I feel sad about that, that our clients and my company do not want to pay ( with some exceptions ).

That’s a social problem.
Maybe some laws our just another culture about take care of our commons can change that.
We can still hope. :/

I have noticed that many developers are reluctant to introduce explaining variables/constants.

I do, and it’s very helpful for me and my futur me and the other one.

You resumed very well the triangle.

My dream is to build an app/service which is easy to use as Signal but compatble with matrix and xmmp.

Owww! :(

That’s sad. But at the same times trying to bypass a gatekeeper is always incertain. They can change something that is difficult to reverse enginering and it’s the end of the story. :/

Looks bad for privacy… 😞

It’s only the groups that’s choose to be public.

You have to configure it for that.

Matrix is perfect for private and personal communication too.

If you are concerned by privacy you should not use Google Messages because every messages passed through the Google server.

And it’s not open source.

For my point of view it’s too much to use it. :)

AI based tools can be usefull.

If some of them are fully FOSS and light enough to be used locally I think that it’s going to arrive.

But in the same time I think it’s more an application level question :

• like LibreOffice with some LLM tools.
• or Gimp with some StableDiffusion capability.
• … you get the point :)

Sounds good!

That’s a hard work to try to be compatible with X11 and Wayland.

I hope that could simplify that.

I’m used to : Angular or React + Pyramid(Python) or Strapi(Nodejs)

The main thing about Fairphone is not the phone but the supply chain.

Nothing is perfect and a phone cannot make happy every one (is there a jack or not …). But I’m happy that they try to make a good phone with all the hidden things in mind (from where come from the rough material, who is making the pieces and in which conditions …). That’s more important for me then the final product.

I love the concept to store request in files and that you can use git to version! Lovely

You shared only the picture, not the link.

I find like you that the first one is strange.

But I think that both are useless because you can put what you want in a list in python.

thing = List[str]()
type(thing)
# 
stuff: List[str] = []
type(stuff)
# 

But in other hand it’s helpful in IDE to get some warning like Expected type 'str' (matched generic type '_T'), got 'int' instead.

Soooo, in the end I say that I choose this one thing: list[str] = [] because it looks more widely used and easily readable.

I agree that a lot of free software are old now and big enough to be lost.

Maybe you can find a new and simple project, like https://github.com/lemmygtk/lemoa to improve your skills?

Thanks for the article!

Another use case: It could be useful for one software deployed in more than one server and if admins want to enable/disable features specifically for every server.
