soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
A Torino Comics ho avuto il super piacere di chiacchierare con @davidrevoy, un artista francese che ha trovato la giusta forma tra disegno con software libero e pubblicazione tramite webcomic in un modello sostenibile del quale detiene il pieno controllo. Inoltre invita la comunità a realizzare opere derivate dai suoi personaggi.

Most AI translation tools rely on cloud services.
Audio leaves your device, gets processed elsewhere, and comes back translated.
As open speech recognition, translation, and TTS models improve, it feels increasingly possible to build communication tools that run on infrastructure you control.
That's one of the ideas behind PolyTalk.
Privacy, ownership, and transparency may soon matter as much as model quality.

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.
Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):
1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability
#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia
Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
We want Zerion independently audited. A real security audit is how a privacy app proves itself, because code should speak louder than marketing, and we’d rather be checked than believed.
Audits cost money, and we’re independent, so we’re asking for help. Every bit genuinely counts, no amount is too small, and it all goes toward getting Zerion properly reviewed.
If you believe in what we’re building, you can support it here:
Sia: Decentralized Cloud 🦫
Testing Sia. Your encrypted files stored on independent hosts' computers worldwide. 50 GB free.

Pros: privacy, decentralization, no tracking.
Cons: app has bugs.

@Tutanota Perfect time for people to jump ship and upgrade to LaTeX which is free and open source. It can do everything MS Word and PowerPoint can do and about a million things more and you can choose your editor. This is a decision you will never regret.
Or if you just want a free and open source alternative, or need the full office suite, then there's Libre Office.
As always, screw Microsoft.
