Well, that's quite a knee-jerk reaction on their part, frankly stupid too: aren't we supposed to be a federated network instead of acting like a mini-reddit that wants to own everything? :/

I must say I was impressed too.
I don't mind the two communities. Sure, it will be simpler to have a single one but I'm subscribed to both and that's ok.
Yes! Someone recommending Vivaldi.
It's a cool (chromium-based) browser with many cool features (they even offer a mastodon instance) that one can as easily decide to use or not use. And the company (from Norway) is owned by the devs themselves not by some huge corp or a venture capital fund ;)
We've reached 413 members in !journaling@sh.itjust.works. We also have more participation going on in the Weekly Threads I recently initiated (Issue 6 is ready to go out, tomorrow). If it is still on the timid side, I still find it very promising and encouraging ;)
Today more then ever, I think people should give journaling a chance. When things are getting stressful, this can help a lot. Be it to take a few steps back and consider things more calmly, or even just to put down emotions and feelings and try to deal with them. I hope our little community can encourage a few persons to start doing so.
You want to create a European tech alternative? Start enforcing digital antitrust. Not fines, break-ups and forced sales of local branches. If the US can do it to Tiktok the EU can do it to Meta, Amazon, Google and the like.
100%.
Thx for saying it. And that's so much not limited to tech...
Everyday, I look at our French 'exception culturelle' with some kind of respect. It's a law that make it so small bookshops have not been destroyed by Amazon (Amazon is forced to sell books at the exact same price as your local shop) and which, among many other things, make it so it's mandatory to have 30% or so of local/French content in main media. That's a great law and because it's a great law, I wonder for how much longer it will hold against the US endless appetite and against the voracity of many here in the EU too that are more than willing to fill their pockets in the process of killing and burying local cultural productions.
It is definitely weird seeing the body age, but still feeling 20s inside.
Younger... younger than I'm young today I mean, I never imagined that would be like that, I must say.
Have a great day!
Thx. You too.
You're welcome.
I had to use a fountain pen at school as well! :)
That doesn't make us old. Just more experienced than all those kids around us ;)
Tuxedo, the French LDLC also sell computers under their own brand (edit: did LDLC stop selling their own? I can't find them anymore).
I think they both sources the same hardware from China, but don't quote me on that.
Glad I’m not in academia.
That makes two of us. This is so depressing and it also feels like the situation is hopeless and things will only get worse :/
Imho, it's worth a least showcasing as a surprising decision and, imho, a questionable one too. Calmly discussing it in order to see what others think about it.
I don't like that you were banned for mentioning another community. And I don't like that only because I'm being polite here ;)
