  • My god, this is so dumb!

    Let me explain because this is so typical of the French public service called: “DINUM” .

    They find a good idea of a needed service for the public administration : cloud drive service, IM, DNS, office suite, collaborative suite…

    They recreate the thing from 0 or combine foss bricks while slapping a sticker on it instead of funding (in the case of small projects and NGO’s) or even paying already existing European companies for the service.

    Then there is one more Foss project/ one more competitor to private companies. It’s a pure waste of public money and it is annoying as hell.

    They are killing the Foss/European cloud space by just building redundant things instead of strenghtening the whole ecosystem by helping out/ funding it.

    They have the technical expertise and the money many projects need and just waste it on projects that excite the Foss/sovereignity spheres for a month then become abandonware.











  • True: self hosting is beneficial, Foss office suite is great to empower us, users… etc.

    The point of the software presented isn’t aimed at regular computer users that would enjoy a bit of independence, it looks more like something aimed at the enterprise administrative level that people may stumble upon while searching for a document (who needs versioning apart from filename extensions if you alone work on the documents).See it as: you may find , download and use updated packaged software on github but in reality it’s really a tool aimed at devs before being a software repository for end users.

    I see this as software mainly for the French or German state administration being made public for others to enrich, integrate… Like Olvid is a matrix based E2E encrypted, real authenticated identity based messenger made available to the public once the French government financed it’s development for it’s own use.

    Great : it is one small step for man, one giant leap for your humanity. We will force capitalism to come back to it’s senses, play politics all you want but remember: we are customers, not products. In the end we determine how much your shareholders make.
