France has real, relevant leftwing parties, not sure about most of the others, though

I’m just sad I’m too young to have ever seen that old internet, and what it was like…

Makes me more determined to try and steer the current internet back in that direction though.

I have a nextcloud instance and I can confirm that the ai features are plugins, and are opt-in (and also pretty cool, as ai feature go)

Good look! Might I suggest it would look better with the pocket logo being next to the “Get off pocket” text instead of below.

Even between french and english, two languages which, as far as i can tell, have the best machine translation, the translation is mid at best.
