France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins
Let's hope they'll use Gendarmerie's almost 20 years of experience on that.

Diaspora* - is it any good?
Reply in thread
What do you mean by specifications?
This was a few years back, and my memory isn't that great, but from I recall : Diaspora had a rather privileged childhood, in the form of a very successul kickstarter. And they basically were the cool kids back then, and as such they didn't follow any existing protocol (which, at that time, would have been either OStatus or XMPP, basically) and went their own way. Federation at that time wasn't that much of a hype, but still they (rightfully) felt it would be great to document their protocol, and they published (some sort of) specification.
At the same time, Friendica's author (which then went to built several other socialnetworking tools/platforms, as RedMatrix, Huzbilla, Zap, Zot, ...) spent some time trying to federate his tools (can't remember if it was Friendica or RedMatrix) with Diaspora. And was appalled by how unusable the specification was. From what I understood, at least.

Julian LeFay, The Legendary Developer Known As ‘The Father Of Elder Scrolls’, Has Passed Away
This might already be the case, but the guy deserves is own character and quest in Project Tamriel and/or Tamriel Rebuilt. This is way too young an age to go.

Be careful of rocketchat : beside some exotic technology choices (meteor), they seem to be in a dynamic of re-closing previously opensource parts of it. Something like that already occured with their ldap implementation (it needed some love, but sadly they give them closed-source love...)

Nope, doesn't seem so at all. I'll stay with the web version of LibreOffice, myself (and OnlyOffice as a second choice if the first one were to went south)

Diaspora* - is it any good?
It's been there much longer, for one thing. But from what I recall, it's been a mess specs-wise. I do especially remember Friendica/Zot's author despairing over how little they followed their own specifications. I'm not sure they're still relevant today

Sixteen Organizations Endorse the UN Open Source Principles
Seeing RocketChat in here, when they've been actively moving away from opensource for several years now, is at least a bit funny.

What is your favorite image (art, photo, etc.) and what about it makes it your favorite?
For something that isn't too obvious (e.g. not hanged in a museum or anything), I often come back to that picture and it always move me, for some reason :

My 4 yo just asked if I am going to die
Ourselves, we had a bit of trauma to deal with when they saw the movie Coco. They all had already learned that we, like all living beings, are going to die. But I think it made them realize a bit more directly what it means.

Have you ever rekindled a friendship after losing touch? How'd it go?
I once did that, after unexpectedly stumbling upon an old college friend of mine. We had a nice lunch, planned to have another one but didn't really scheduled it. Life did its trick, and we lost touch again.

Is ZeroNet still a thing?
It's still alive (on alternative repos), but it still has glaring issues : as decentralized as it wants to be, it still relies on centralized services (or "zites", 0net's own lingo) to manage authentication, for instance.

The DOS game Raptor Call of the Shadows releases source under GPL
Reply in thread
For what it's worth, that same github user already reverse-engineered the game : https://github.com/skynettx/raptor and this one should be able to compile on modern platforms.
There is probably a story behind the source release, I wonder what it is...
