Ah fantastic, so our French Constitutional Council just confirmed we’re not a democracy, since it seems that using every article that limits democratic debates, removes modifications to laws, and generally prevents any kind of discussion around a law, and any form of real vote, all at the same time is totally legal and constitutional.

Maybe it’s time to move on from our current form of Republic. It was created for a military dictator in the 50s, and is clearly unsuited to the modern world.

Re: SVB, I’m mostly just sad for folks who are at very real risk/likelihood of not getting paid, and potentially losing their jobs over this.

Say what you well about Silicon Valley tech, VCs, SVB as a fraternal order, etc… but the ones who are gonna suffer the worst effects aren’t the clownish founders or evil VCs. It’s workers and their families.

Every time I talk about #Flatpak, #Snap, or any packaging format, I get comments asking what the differences are, which one is the best, why you should use one over the other...

So I decided to revisit a previous video I made 3 years ago, and give a more up to date explanation on the various packaging formats on #Linux: the good old DEBs and RPMs, Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages, and the AUR.

Should be better than my old video, if only on the image quality / script side :D

Also, I tried adding chapters through ID3 tags, so maybe platforms that didn't support the JSON chapters will have them now!

Since I've been talking about @nextcloud a lot recently, I figured it was only fair to show the apps I use on my own server, to get actual work done.

So, brace for a handy roundup of 16 #Nextcloud Apps, big or small, that I use on my own #Linux server!

It’s just me this month and I’m going to take you through converting a traditional centralised Kitten WebSocket chat¹ to an end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer one² for the Small Web³.

It's #Linux desktop week, as we have a LOT of stuff to cover, for @system76 and their Cosmic desktop for @pop_os_official, but also for #LinuxMint and #XFCE, with Wayland support, or @BuddiesOfBudgie, with version 10.7, a pretty huge update. Oh, and also, @plasmamobile updated a ton of apps, and @elementary OS 7 was released.

So, let's unpack all of this in this week's #Linux and #opensource news video:
