Well, I have finally installed F-Droid on my Android mobile as I continue to move away from Big Tech. Most of the open source applications I'm using have an official version on the store! Signal seems to be the exception, so any thoughts on Element as a possible replacement please? Obviously, views on other alternatives just as welcome! #fdroid#bigtech#foss#opensource#signal#element#privacy#security
The opening paragraph of the Wikipedia entry for the Fediverse includes, "The fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is an ensemble of social networks which can communicate with each other, while remaining independent platforms." My reaction this morning to "while remaining independent" is, sure but for how long? #fediverse#mastodon#foss#socialmedia#privacy#bigtech#meta#threads
@richardpascoe forever...anyone can host their own instance.
I am just some random fuck from a small US town and I have my own instance. It's fairly cheap and easy to do if you're comfortable with technology. 🤷♂️
I fully support open source software, so thought it was time I highlighted some of the applications and software that I use myself. Firstly, Loop Habit Tracker, an open source and privacy-focused way to help form habits using your mobile. Visit https://loophabits.org/ for more information. #loophabittracker#opensource#foss
I've been interested in Game Development ever since working with The Quill on my ZX Spectrum. I never took it any further but I hope to change that with Godot Engine. Learn more about this open-source platform via https://godotengine.org/#gaming#gamedevelopment#godotengine
