Hello,

I'm having a hard time running Fedora KDE Plasma on a Macbook pro from 2019,. Even after following online guides, I'm loosing the WiFi again and again with no understanding of what's going on. And the touchbar is getting buggy every time I put the computer to sleep mode and come back on it. Nor to mention the sleep mode not able to awake...making it necessary to reboot.

Any people experiencing the same situation ? And most important, solutions ?

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hello,

I've heard that Ubuntu may not fully prioritize user privacy and collects telemetry data. Could you please clarify:

Is this accurate? Are there Linux distributions that place a stronger emphasis on privacy?

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hello,

Is there any ethical (Privacy focused) alternative to Canva ?

Edit : Especially for slides creation :)

As Canva is sharing your data and is going to stock exchange this year, I feel very urgent to move out of this service.

Best, H

Hello,

I downloaded SchildiChat to access matrix as their UI is more conveniant than Element. Exodus and TC slim however found "Google Admob" within the app.

As you can see on the screenshot. I asked developers about it, and they told me there's no trackers on the app.

Who's right, who's wrong ?

Thanks

Hello beautiful people,

I was wondering if you're aware of any ethical artificial Intelligence? Ethical meaning : "private", "anonymous, "not training with your data", "no censured", "open source"...

Is there anything available online or to install on a private server ? I was thinking to create a server with friends and install a personal AI for a small group of people on it. Or maybe a federated AI sharded among Fediverse ?

Would be nice if you've any open source code or projects out there ❤️

Biggest threat for our privacy is real in Switzerland !

#EID #Switzerland #Privacy

End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an "open source project, completely optional" hides big tech industry... Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

Hello,

Any free open source app to edit videos on my phone here ?

Thank sou 🙏🏼

Recent news revealed that Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has been investing heavily in military tech companies, which adds another ethical layer to a platform already criticized for how little it pays musicians !

Spotify only pays artists about $3–5 per 1,000 streams, using a pro-rata model that directs most money toward major stars... By contrast, Qobuz (≈$18–20 per 1,000 streams) and Tidal (≈$12–13) pay far more fairly!

However Tidal is far from ethical. Most of its revenue is controlled by private investors and founders and small artists still earn very little...

More fair-minded platforms like Bandcamp, Resonate, Ampled, or SoundCloud’s fan-powered royalties prioritize musicians over investors.

With these more ethical alternatives available, why do we keep using Spotify?

As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What's your thoughts about it ? I'm also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it...

Cheers
