We have recently received a trust score by 9.6 out of 10 from "European & Open Source Alternatives", a website that wants to help people find trustworthy alternatives to Big Tech.

With that stellar rating, we are currently the top-rated alternative in the Maps category, side-by-side with our friends from #OpenStreetMap ❤️

Check out how that score was calculated for us, and other map alternatives here: https://european-alternatives.cloud/en/browse?category=maps

The beauty of the Fediverse, to me, is our rich diversity of experiences, abilities, and needs.

Everyone brings something unique of themselves into this place, and everyone needs something different from it.

That is a strength, not a weakness. Many come here with expectations that are different from mine ~ on any number of topics: AI, encryption, money, and more.

None of us are “wrong“.. we all just need different things from this place.

And that is beautiful.

For *BSD fans, I wish to understand something that truly bothers me.

You are a fan of one or more BSD os. Is that BSD (doesn't matter which one) your daily driver, your primary OS on your main computer?

Google's assault on F-Droid has begun. They are permitting malicious actors to claim other people's apps and take them over. As we've warned, this is going to destroy F-Droid and independent app distribution around the world. Speak out and help stop them at https://keepandroidopen.org. #keepandroidOpen

#smolweb oder das schlanke Web

Beschreibung (übersetzt): Heutzutage sind die Hardware-Ressourcen unserer privaten Geräte im Grunde genommen überdimensioniert, um aufgeblähte Websites zu bewältigen. Wenn wir Webdesigner dazu anregen, zu einem schlankeren Web zurückzukehren, könnten kleine Geräte wie alte PCs, alte Smartphones, Retro-Geräte und kleine Boards wieder nutzbar werden.
Das ist das Ziel des „Smolweb“-Konzepts.

I just added some little cgi scripts to my gemini capsule. I'd love a little feedback from any geminauts out there.

The Fediverse deserves a dumb graphical client

I love the Fediverse. I have been on it for years, and it remains the only social network where I actually enjoy spending time. No algorithmic feed pushing outrage, no dark patterns, no surveillance capitalism. Just people talking to each other over an open protocol.

But every time I wanted to recommend it to someone, I ran into the same wall: the clients are heavy. Mastodon's web interface ships megabytes of JavaScript. Elk, Phanpy, Ivory, beautiful apps, but they require a modern browser, a fast connection, and a device manufactured in the last five years ...

Edit: try #SmolFedi :

i've seen a few lightweight Fedi clients, but until now i'd not seen one i could actually consider using on a day-to-day basis. now i have - thank you @adele for smolfedi!

@rl_dane it does work with Dillo. Usable with and without remote CSS.

Hello from smolfedi on #NetSurf!!

This is the lightest browser I could get working (had auth problems with every other #smol browser I tried).

It kinda lacks keyboard navigation badly (NetSurf, that is), but I'm still liking #SmolFedi a lot, and am looking forward to trying it on my sixteen-year-old #OpenBSD #Thinkpad. ;)

Maybe the excellent #Dillo browser dev can poke at it? ;) @dillo

Installed @adele ‘s #smolfedi in a local VM on #proxmox.

Seen here from #netsurf inside #RiscOS on a Pi 3 and I have a fully funcional Fediverse client :-)
