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 ...

#Pollux server is back online after a power outage!

Today is a great day to learn about Debian.
It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights:
- Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully so
- Debian isn't a company
- You still have
apt, sodebpackages still probably work - Flatpak makes desktop use easy
- Hate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.
- Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro"
If Ubuntu's got you down today, I dare you: give Debian a try.
@adele a ajouté la localisation en français (ainsi que en, es et de) dans son client web #Fediverse léger #SmolFedi
C'est une appli web écrite en php, sans javascript côté client et qui fonctionne plutôt bien. La dernière version, en français si ça vous intéresse, est vraiment pas mal. Ça s'installe sur n'importe quelle stack web PHP/sqlite. Vous pouvez y jeter un œil sur l'instance de demo : https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/

It's 2:15 and I don't manage to sleep...
Tomorrow, it will be complicated :-(
relay support stuff for #GoToSocial is coming along well, got it ingesting relayed statuses nicely
Le (World Wide) Web est mort, vive le (Small)) Web!
I believe the Fediverse can connect people in meaningful ways and that so connected we can make a more just, equitable and sustainable world.
I am a #smolweb advocate and, sometimes, I use LLMs.
I spend a lot of time thinking about simplicity. Fewer dependencies, lighter pages, tools that do one thing well. So yes, it might look strange that I also spend time talking to large language models. Let me explain where I draw the line, and why I think the contradiction is smaller than it appears...

Donald Trump has said Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, should focus on “fixing his broken country” and trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war – and spend less time “interfering” in Iran.
That's funny because in the US a majority of the population would like Trump to do that too!
I still research my code issues for hours on endless websites instead of asking AI

Durch Zufall auf den interessanten Ansatz von @adele mit #smolweb gestoßen.
Finde die Idee eigentlich richtig smart, gerade so mancher (#Wordpress) Blog könnte sehr von einem einfacheren Frontend profitieren.
Was ich nicht gefunden habe, ist ein Demo-Frontend und ein entsprechendes Repository.
Kennt jemand Seiten, die mit smolweb umgesetzt sind, außer den Seiten auf
https://smolweb.org ?
