Great choices. I use all of them.

DuckDuckGo as a web browser?
craig9@lemm.ee 11 months ago
On android at least, yes there is a duck duck go browser.

Surprised to see docker there after the rugpull they did some time ago.
dafta@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
What are you referring to?
chaospatterns@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The started charging money for Docker Desktop for companies and they have been adding pull limits on Docker Hub.

It’s good for the US, too.
Americans don’t have to live under the bootheels of corporations.

I’m surprised FF got in with that bunch. Most of them are truly uncompromising OSS projects. Like WINE for example.
FF skirts A LOT of corporate influence…
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I started using Cromite with OpenXNG as my search engine and it’s been good. A de-googled chromium essentially with built in privacy/ad blockers.
letzlo@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Firefox offers a real alternative to chrome derivatives. I think it’s what we need to go for too.
primemagnus@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Yeah I use it on Linux and prefer it over Chrome (even the variants people swear are “de-googled”) but do recognize it’s more of an enemy of my enemy kind of deal. I don’t like a lot of things FF does as it does have a corporate division to answer to. And they want money.

Not judging the software at all, but the fact that OnlyOffice is owned/developed by a semi-sketchy Russian corporation would probably preclude it from getting any endorsement from a Western government.
Ohh@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Cryptpad (which partly uses onlyoffice), writes about it here: forum.cryptpad.org/d/…/4
I think it’s an excellent post worry reading. Open Source entails collaborating with the whole world. Any code base is simply to big to audit from the start, but all incremental code can be audited, and you can disable stuff you don’t need etc.
For me, the post makes me trust cryptpad more than I did before.
And yes. Cryptpaf = onlyoffice, but still relevant I think

Didn’t know that :/ Hmm might switch myself then and delete my recc.

Nobody should ever use the internet without uBlock Origin.
Minizarbi@jlai.lu 11 months ago
But also, I’d like we should be able to use internet without having to use uBlock Origin…

Its super scary that there are many people not using it.

An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.

Krita ?

Worth noting: Affinity, while not open-source, can be brought to run under Linux. This may be helpful for people wanting to ditch Windows.
LiveLM@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Does it run well? Ps under Wine is a laggy and unstable mess

asymmetric@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Do they also fund these projects?
Mouette@jlai.lu 11 months ago
They are not only no funding but largely not using it in practice and letting most public institution spent billions in Microsoft Office 365 contract
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Probably a lot like the actual users of (F)OSS: Not really :p
twen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The SILL About page translated explains the list :
Why this catalog?
The socle interministériel de logiciels libres (SILL) is the reference catalog of open-source software recommended by the French government for use throughout the administration.
This catalog helps administrations find their way around the open-source software they are encouraged to use, in line with Article 16 of the French Law for a Digital Republic
SabinStargem@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Hopefully the French will also endorse Fedora, Red Hat, and Valve’s SteamOS. Microsoft is a huge security issue, since it isn’t clear whether MS would bend to DOGE’s whims. The NLRB and other aspects of the US government had DOGE set up accounts, which were accessed within 15 minutes by Russia.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Why Steam OS? It does what it sets out to do, and probably makes Valve a ton of money.
Donations should go to projects that need it. Valve seems to be doing fine.
SabinStargem@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Making an OS easy to use in everyday life is the key to mass adoption. If the EU wants to get away from Microsoft’s garden, that means advertising valid options to people who aren’t attuned to Linux.
Money isn’t the issue for SteamOS, it is awareness and making it available as an pre-installed option on consumer PCs. The EU could create standardized pamphlets about Fedora, Red Hat, and SteamOS, mandating stores to present that digestable information to consumers so that they know what flavor is best for their usecase.
Litebit@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Microsoft export their software and OS to almost every one of our users’ pc while US doesn’t buy any of our OS. Using Trump logic, we need to tariff US
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Why RedHat? I thought it’s a bad version of Linux and generally disliked (similar to Broadcom and ESXi).
Why not prefer something based on Debian. As it’s being regarded as very stable I don’t feel like it would interfere with the employees daily job as they don’t need a cutting edge distro like arch.sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Or why not SUSE? I forget who owns it now, but at least for a while it was owned by an EU firm.
InverseParallax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So, I love Debian, and it’s an excellent distro.
But personally something like suse makes more sense, it’s more user friendly and is so German it’s painful.
SabinStargem@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Linux isn’t very good for the casual person at this time, due to conflicting, dated, or missing documentation. If people are to be encouraged to adopt Linux, it should be toward distributions that have official technical support.
blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The full list: code.gouv.fr/sill/list
Hold on. That page does not list VLC or KeePass. Is there more info about this other than the list? Or is the info in the title of this post incorrect?
CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Using the find function on my phone browser doesn’t find it but it does come up when manually scrolling and as long as you don’t move too far the find works. I’m thinking there is some sort of rendering magic going on, would explain why scrolling is so fast.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Probably due to it being a media player vs a list of productivity apps?
I feel like most would forget about VLC until they notice the traffic cone is missing.
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Once upon a time, there was Glimpse project—which for me was a nice enhancement to vanilla GIMP. They sadly kicked the bucket but damn not a day goes by where I don’t miss them…
Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Better name too
yucandu@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The “english” setting does nothing.
Kuma@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It changes the UI text of the website, such as filters, titles, and sorting options, but not the descriptions.
I can’t decide which is worse, a functioning language switch that never included English for the descriptions (which is the only text I actually need translated) or a broken language switch. The way it switches languages is also quite odd, as if it’s asking, ‘Are you sure?’"
pyre@lemmy.world 11 months ago
just the way the French like it
NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 11 months ago
If they really want to boil our piss, put “English (American)” as the only option. Or or, a little American flag next to “English”. Oo, I’m engaging myself right now.
yucandu@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sweet I’m already using PostgreSQL because it’s the only thing Blynk supported!
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The first thing any government should do is move away from ms office.
The 2nd thing they should do is fund and contribute to a distro and begin the transition from windows.
dwazou@jlai.lu 11 months ago
To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective.
This isn’t the French Prime Minister announcing the country will financially support FOSS projects. Gimp has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.
mke@programming.dev 11 months ago
It’s still nice! A bit of recognition, legitimacy, and although it’s not funding, it might be a small step towards it. I see many great works, that stand tall on their own. More eyes will only make them shine even brighter.
Thanks, Fr*nce.
Krukenberg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
VIM…? Safe…?!
addie@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Once you start Vim, you don’t even need to activate the lock screen when you leave your desk. Ain’t no-one going to be using that machine for anything nefarious any more.
realitista@lemm.ee 11 months ago
EU governments are probably the only path to mainstream adoption for desktop Linux. If they all did it and invested in the features they needed, it could provide a valid option for mainstream office use.
veniasilente@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.
themurphy@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
EU and its contries are pro open source and i fucking love it.
Jolteon@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Haven’t they also been trying to put back doors into everything for the last decade?
themurphy@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
EU is democratic, which means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.
Never voted through.

I wonder if we could get EU to take over some states if we got enough votes to secede in some areas.
themurphy@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.
Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.
Valmond@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s kind of quote cool for a government to do IMO.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I approve of all these except GIMP.
GIMP is just terrible.
