Idée logiciel / service open source : service de détection et remplacement des polices de caractère dans les fichiers epub.

Pourrait fonctionner hors ligne avec le stockage local du navigateur (serialisation du epub dans indexeddb).

Si vous avez connaissance d'un tel service, n'hésitez pas à partager !

Can anyone reccomend a book or documentary that explains how companies like Google and Microsoft make money from surveillance of users? I understand some of the basics, but would really like a deep understanding. Preferably something aimed at laypeople, rather than people with a tech professional background. Thanks!

I also remember the #libre Serval Project, started by some Aussies who went to Haiti to help following their catastrophic 2010 quake and saw the need for this. The project appears pretty dormant these days (servalproject.com) but the Wayback Machine shows it nearer its heyday: web.archive.org/web/2014022108 It was very very cool, but I suspect very strongly rejected by telcos. I'm thinking we might need to force the issue with gov't regulation.

What happened after I deleted Google and disabled their services from my phone?

My only perception is the battery life is much better.

Most people prefer the Google Play Store over manually installing apk's directly from the authors. But I am delighted there are nicer alternatives for all of the convenience that Google captured from open source projects.

It is not easy to accidently turn on Translate in Mastodon. You have to go a layer deep in settings, to set your posting language to the language your mastodon app uses.

It doesn't say it's to turn on "offering to translate" - click here.

It doesn't announce you turned on translate for your readers, your posts.

Mastodon should have an obvious button, "TURN ON Translate" or some such, in a platonic way.

comment contribuer au logiciel libre quand on sait pas coder ? ben par exemple venir filer la main 2h le week-end des 24-25 mai aux @jdll dans le super cadre de l'ENS Debourg, et puisque vous êtes sur place profitez-en pour chiller dans le jardin, rencontrer les assos du village voir des confs au top et participer à des ateliers trop bien ➡️ framaforms.org/jdll-2025-appel

#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue
