🚀 Sur le modèle de ce qu'a récemment fait @nicolasvivant sur #Mastodon, j'ai créé sur #Bluesky un #StarterKit intitulé "Logiciels libres en France".

Il s'agit de comptes français 🇫🇷 qui postent régulièrement des infos sur les #LogicielsLibres et #OpenSource.

Cette liste des comptes retrouvés sur la base de ceux réunis par Nicolas Vivant est 3 fois moins grande (je l'enrichirai avec le temps).

Investissons aussi Bluesky et prêchons-y la bonne parole ! 😇

starting to learn #friction a motion graphics package.
So far all the "bugs" I've found have been operator errors and misunderstandings.

I have a #svg graphic of a bicycle I found on #openclipart following a path that was made from a #gps
track off an #android phone using #viking to view a #OSM map and route and turned into a svg path in #gimp & #inkscape.

Yet to do;
turn the png frames into the video using #shotcut and some music and posted to a nextcloud server.

a sample frame from a WIP video. Its a #OSM [open street map] image with a red line showing a route taken. There is a small graphic of a bicycle part way along the route. This was created using a random gps file and the actual map described in the GPS.

Open software folks - what speakerphone do you recommend for hybrid meetings? I'm looking at Jabra Speak2 but get uneasy when small text at the bottom of the product description say "This unit works with devices that can run the latest version of ChromeOS". I just want a speakerphone that works with any kind of device and meeting software. #OpenSoftware #FLOSS #Speakerphone #HybridMeetings

Remember that GNOME Circle app developers are eligible to become voting members of the GNOME Foundation. And according to the bylaws¹, all contributors are eligible, including those who contribute to areas like documentation and advocacy.

Become a member if you aren’t already, then don’t forget to vote!

If you’re curious what the GNOME Foundation does, Allan has written an update² of recent activities.

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: foundation.gnome.org/membershi

Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!

The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

🧵 Read the alt texts of the photos above about the #yarn's history. Here you can learn more about the history of this "more glossy than silk" patent: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

This #emboidery #floss was a hype since 1905/1910 ... and we can imagine that some of the governesses who had the misfortune to be on board, used it for #embroideries in the luxury rooms of the #Titanic.

💡 It's time for Microsoft Windows users to understand that GNU/#Linux :
➡️ contains no spyware, telemetry, bloatware, advertising or #AI
➡️ does not force users to register for an online account
➡️ is much easier to update
➡️ is safe and efficient "by design"
➡️ is not subject to programmed obsolescence
➡️ doesn't slow down over time
➡️ looks beautiful!

"When we look at the current 'winners' of the modern tech world, was their success driven by the ideologies they represented or was it the material factors in their favor (vertical integration, economies of scale, network effects)? Were people really just swayed by Apple's 'brave' ideals of locking down software and sabotaging right to repair?" formerlytomato.codeberg.page/p
