Nextcloud was too slow and bloated for me. I used Seafile for years and it was fine, but at some point I went to some more simple setup : sftpgo to share folders (sftp, dav) and syncthing for the folders I want to sync between devices. You can also set ignore lists in syncthing to ignore large dirs. Keep it simple stupid 😅

Unfortunately, far-right is invading most countries... There are just more discrete for now, but less and less.

No offense, but I suggest you talk to a psychologist about this 🙂 I and many other friends did over here, and it really helps to unlock your full potential (everyone has different problems).

Why won't you be able to create two accounts?

I agree. I don't use it for these reasons. But technologically speaking, it's an open source alternative.

There's Peertube as an alternative. It lacks some content, but the platform is on par. It is developed by a French association called Framasoft. Thus said, you're right, Youtube is still okay, even thus there are some fake videos and scam, but they are easy to avoid.

J'utilise pas mal Reddit et ça fait longtemps que je voulais passer sur Lemmy. Récemment, j'ai revu un commentaire qui l'évoquait ! Je suis un avide utilisateur / dev de logiciels libres et les dernières politiques de Reddit ne m'ont pas plus (plus d'app en dehors de la leur, entraînement d'IA). Je trouvais Lemmy un peu vide, mais ça grossit doucement, alors je viens dans les rangs 🙂

Tu crois que c'est pas juste une phrase générique de littéraire ?

Oh p'tin, on m'a renvoyé la même citation sur un groupe d'amis...

Soit c'est des gens qui n'y croient pas et qui se racontent des histoires pour que ce soit faux (dans leur tête), soit des gens qui soutiennent ce mouvement et qui essaient de noyer le poisson.

Je suis nouveau et je ne savais pas, merci 🙂

Ahem. That's happening over here as well, but fortunately, not on the same scale (for now).

Excellent article. Thank you!

I have no idea, but I'm also interested. Thus said, remember that's only inside EU. I remember that Meta said they won't apply this outside EU.

I agree 🙂 There's also a lot of lobbying inside EU, but there's more citizens resistance (for now...). As we say about capitalism: privatize profits, share losses.

That's sad :/

I don't think so. The reverse is even happening as there are way more restrictions inside Europe for Europeans companies. The result is that they are less competitive, but more respectful for EU citizens (but unfortunately, outside companies don't always have to respect this, for now).

Why don't Americans put pressure on legislation like Europeans did with the GDPR?

I use encryption on laptops, because they can be stolen in the train, bus, etc. On work desktop, I do so as well, because there are many people around. However, on everything that stay at home, I prefer not to use it to simplifiy things and get more performance.
