"Github is free. Free as in free cocaine."

#FOSDEM

"The Growing Body of Proprietary Infrastructure for FOSS Development: Repeating Bad History" Karen Sandler and Benver Gingerich (Bradley M. Kuhn is sick, which is trendy)

Survey of the room ("but we still love you if you rise your hand"): who uses Github? Teams? Slack? Confluence? Jira? All these proprietary tools are massively used to develop free software.

#FOSDEM

Discussion about ActivityPub. Is there even ONE forge software with proper ActivityPub support, allowing, for instance, to open an issue without creating an account (the number one problem reported by people about my projects hosted on a gitlab).

#FOSDEM

Tiens, à propos d'empreinte environnementale du numérique, j'écoute le talk Let's Encrypt au #FOSDEM et l'orateur insiste sur le fait qu'ils n' économisent pas le matériel. Un problème de performance ? On achète du matériel plus gros. C'est toujours beaucoup moins cher que d'optimiser (chose qui doit être faite par des humains, qui sont rares et chers).

Good morning, Brussels! Second day of #FOSDEM https://fosdem.org/2025/

Today, retrocomputing for me.

"Resurrecting the minimalistic Dillo web browser" by Rodrigo Arias Mallo

If you're serious about saving the planet, this is the Web browser you must use. (But not for Mastodon, which requires a heavyweight browser.)

The slides are in HTML, and are displayed with #Dillo, of course.

#FOSDEM

CommonLisp was used for the server part of the reconstruction.
