Why we currently do not recommend the @rodentapp Mastodon client:
- it's not #opensource let alone #FLOSS
- it's only available from Google's Play store
- it contains trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
- it wants access to your ad ID
In short, this app is against the spirit of Mastodon and the Fediverse. There are plenty of Mastodon apps that respect you: @Tusky, Fedilab (@apps), @moshidon …

De-google-ify Internet
Amazing campaign by the French not-for-profit association Framasoft.
The De-google-ify Internet project offers 26 ethical and alternative online tools that may be used by everyone.
They build open source alternatives to many Google services like Youtube, Agenda, Docs, Forms, Maps etc, as well other services to replace Doodle, Facebook Event, Github, Zoom, Slack and much more!
Check their beautiful website, watch the videos to know more about their work and follow them here in Mastodon:

We need to pay for the yearly backups for all of our services and content - https://www.gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-yearly-backups-for-all-of-our-projects
This means all of our TROM.tf services (friendica, peertube, nextcloud, etc.), all of our websites like tromsite.com, videoneat.com, tromjaro.com, and so on.
We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.
The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).
Thanks a bunch!

Are there any #OpenSource services that would allow me to cross-post on the #Fediverse and on #Bluesky without creating a dummy account (as #Bridgy does)?
Ideally, I’m thinking about a client that supports both the #MastodonAPI and the #BlueskyAPI.

Hundreds of millions of functioning devices [2] will become e-waste.

Europe will stay free and democratic if it builds its own digital infrastructure and can‘t be blackmailed. The recent threats by J.D. Vance and big tech companies should spurn us to act swiftly.

We need to talk about Kdenlive video editor on Linux.
Kdenlive is open source software that runs on multiple platforms. Also, Kdenlive does NOT requires a additional graphics card, is not intense on system resources, supports multi-track video editing, supports advance features like audio and video plugin support, supports nested sequences, supports proxy editing, imports most file formats, and is easy to learn.

It was originally articulated as intermediate technology by the economist (…)

Improvements for TROM.tf :
Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:
Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join 😀. It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.
Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call
Search
Speed
And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.
Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.

After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! https://search.trom.tf/ thanks to Danny!
But with a twist. Instead of hosting a SearX instance we are using a script that checks the best and most reliable instances and uses them randomly for every search. It is a meta-search engine. This way we make sure it is reliable and our IP will never get blocked by google and the rest.
For those who do not know, SearX is itself a sort of meta-search engine, pulling results from google, DDG, yahoo and more, removing the ads and trackers, and basically allowing you to search without those viruses.
So, we are finally back!
To add it to Firefox simply right click the URL after the page loads, and then add the TROM Search as a search engine. From Firefox's settings make sure you select it to be as default for your browser.
TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - https://www.tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! 😀 I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed 😀

We now have 6 servers dedicated to transcoding/transcribing our Peertube videos https://videos.trom.tf - thanks to @Alexio who is providing 4 of them! Peertube is now a complete replacement for Youtube and I will make sure to push it a lot more in terms of use and promotion! We need to get people to use it, else without content, it won't go anywhere....
Feel free to use our instance!
