Why Loops Matters.

In a world where platforms rise and fall at the whim of governments and boardrooms, we're building something that can't be shut down, sold off, or taken away.

Ok what are possible Discord alternatives?

@thedarktangent

Hasn't any good old forumsoftware always been a better alternative to Discord?

I have never understood why one, especially opensource projects, would put all their valuable data in a closed system like Discord, hidden from public search.

Look at Proxmox for example. Lots of searches for Debian/sysadmin related stuf land on their forum and that's part of why they are so popular imo.

@HI_Greens @woody Again, doesn't mean that the French gvmt implementation is bad, just that upstream, they're a open source but for profit venture capital funded (from my quick look) US based company, which thinks integration with Grok is a competitive advantage.

I would assume the French are not implementing that API!

@HI_Greens @woody Having a very quick look at the github of La suite Meet https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet it seems it's an implementation of another project called LiveKit. A recent blog post of LiveKit talks about their "Grok Voice Agent API in partnership with xAI". The beauty of FLOSS, no need to agree with the original developer!

European ‍Union countries on Monday ​gave their final approval to the bloc's plan ⁠to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law. The policy makes legally-binding the ​EU's vow to cut ties with its former ‍top gas supplier, nearly four years after Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion ​of Ukraine.

As a 'rural' person who grew up with hunts as a regular presence, there's little more alienating than a bunch of sociopathic posh people on horseback descending upon your community with a pack of jittery hounds, in order to dismember a small woodland animal usually encountered in children's stories.

Today in 1923, 102 years ago: in Spain, the Board of Directors agrees to prohibit the teaching of Catalan in official schools.
