Marchand est le meilleur candidat pour la ville de Québec.
C'est grâce à lui qu'on construit plus de logements à Québec, qu'on a d'autres façons de se déplacer que l'auto.
Lachance veut qu'on construise moins de logement et va empirer la crise du logement
Pas de chance pour ceux qui se cherchent un loyer avec Lachance.
Hamad veut un SRB au lieu d'un tramway. Encore des tergiversations. Des études on en a fait et refait et ce qui est recommandé c'est un tramway.

Also #ProgressiveWebApp are not subject to all of these so it makes no sense to restrict native apps more than pwa

If #android #sideloading is so dangerous, can there still be ways to protect user freedom?

Like some sort of sandboxing, and if you want to get rid of sandboxing then you have to get verified? Wouldn't that be a great compromise? I could make an app, not get verified, but I wouldn't have access to payment, nor camera and recorder in the background. #keepAndroidOpen

@Rastal @nixCraft can I still get all the Google Play apps and still not be subject to the new policies ? Cause I absolutely need that

@crmsnbleyd @f4grx @nixCraft The biggest issue with open source phone OS'es currently (at least to me) is that they're incredibly lacking in terms of hardware support. Not even the "feel free to install, but if you've got weird hardware you're on your own", but rather, the line currently tends to be "if you do not own one of these 17 specific devices, you cannot run this OS. Period."

It's hard, I've owned my phone since like 2021, I don't intend to upgrade for several more years, but I don't like the way Android is going currently either. But if the hardware isn't supported for FOSS, there's not much I can really do.

The website “Keep Android Open” is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions keepandroidopen.org

@michelmorin je n'ai pas lu son article, mais tellement souvent ce qui se passe c'est que ils lui reprochent de dire des choses qu'il n'a jamais dit que j'assume par défaut que c'est le cas aussi

Moi jai été licensié à deux reprises cette année, donc j'ai annulé mon abonnement prime pour sauver de l'argent. Et quand je veux acheter quelque chose, je vais peut être plus penser à acheter d'une petite entreprise au lieu de Amazon

My campaign on Instagram and Facebook for a migration to the Fediverse. Funnily enough, it brought a lot of new friends from the Fediverse itself.

It's a vibrant community.Text: The messaging system on Mastodon is annoying, and I'm only slowly getting used to it.
But now was the ideal moment for a switch. I'm super happy in the new community.Image: waterfall in a rainforest, rocks, naked humans at the water, a monkey in a tree, @ullilust@mastodon.social

Does anyone know of a particular #Arch distro that uses #gnome by default, so I can test my gnome app ?

And not omarchy because I can not set it up correctly in my virtual machine

Glad to see Framework also supporting other Linux desktops now. Honestly, I think after the CEOs statement and this new level of transparency, I think it's all fine now: frame.work/bg/en/blog/framewor

Will I be buying a Framework next? I was seriously considering it for quite a while, but this has given me a bit of a pause. DHH etc. are not on that sponsorship list (anymore?), and at least personally I don't think there is much harm in sponsoring the people behind hyprland be they bad at governance or not. We'll see what happens next I guess. They are officially on the GNOME donations page now fwiw, and they do contribute more there than to hyprland which is great to see.

The GNOME donations website, corporate sponsors highlighted. See https://donate.gnome.org/

I would understand if framework computer said something like : if we sponsor you you can't support LGBT people but this is not what's happening
