  • I’m tired of the argument that the solution to fight tracking/ads/subscription/gafam is self hosting.

    It’s a solution for some nice people that have knowledge, time and money for.

    But it’s not a solution for everyone.
    We need more small nice open source association and company that provide services for people that don’t know the difference between a web search engine and a navigator or just a server and a client. I think that initiatives like “les chatons” in France are amazing for that!!! ( https://www.chatons.org/en )

    And just to be clear, I think that self-hosted services are a part of the solution. :)










  • As web developer working in a company as consultant, I think often that I use a lot of free software like framework / library and tools to build proprietary applications without paying the free sofatware I use.

    I feel sad about that, that our clients and my company do not want to pay ( with some exceptions ).

    That’s a social problem.
    Maybe some laws our just another culture about take care of our commons can change that.
    We can still hope. :/
