Ha, found the old German name of one more place in my village : The Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Secours chapel used to be called Maria Hilf Kapelle in German. Added to Wikidata and OSM.

It's fascinating how French public data removes every reference to past names of heirtage building if they're not French. Such a joke.

#DuckDuckFedi, is there any way to tag an #OSM node as pro-facist ? There's a hairdresser advertising for a far-right political party and I'd like to leave a warning for potential customers that they might not be safe there.

Also on that website : Multi arch, hardened, open source container base images.

What's wrong with this timeline that governments (need to) provide container images ?!?!?

I love how in my closest circle of friends and family, language is completely fucked up. We use a total of 5 languages every day. And most of us understand several of them fluently.

For me, this is Europe at it's heart 🇪🇺 : A dream of a world without barriers - not even linguistic ones.

Let's never forget about our duty to protect this gift of freedom.

Can you please do some moderation ? This bot became an utterly feed of Russian propaganda spam flooded from vebinet.com and social.datalabour.com - two Fedi instances operated by the Tallinn-based Sino-Russian propaganda PR agency "Media Scope Group OÜ" (https://mediascope.group/) with dubious UAE links founded by Dawid Wiktor.

Please take care to defederate them and help us keeping the Fedi a liberal and neutral space !

The ruling of the European Court of Justice yesterday is amazing news to non-binary people IMHO : The ruling clarifies that Member States must issue document matching the presented gender of citizens - it does at no place limit the definition of gender to male or female. Considering how barely any member state recognizes non-binary gender, this will be an amazing foundation to sue countries to provide them.

Are there any expansion plans to make more restrictive locations available for servers ? I'm especially thinking of countries with strong internet censorship where it's hard to access local resources such as China, Iran or Russia. Most present server locations focus on rather liberal countries, for many people, a gateway into locked down, censored dictatorships might be really helpful though.

Hey, I'm looking for follower-power from my allies in Ukraine : Can someone help me out with a research task about public transport ?

1500 lines of code later ... and #PolyculeClient now finally has support for #OIDC using MSC3861 "Next-generation auth for #Matrix, based on OAuth 2.0/OIDC" 🎉 !

Let's get it wrapped up and published soon !

I should change my job description internally from "software archaeologist" to "software firefighter".

While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :

In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.

I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.

Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.

Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

Does a French doctor accept a couriel d'adressage from a German doctor or do I need to get an additional one from my French GP 🤔 ... I don't wanna pay the 16 EUR fee of no couriel d'adressage but also I don't wanna pay the 8.50 EUR fee of getting a couriel d'adressage from my GP ...

This system is so fu**ed up ...
