It’s also a strawman argument. Because yes, developers have less to no control over the operation of private servers. Yes, that means they can’t moderate those servers.
But
This initiative only covers games, not supported anymore by the devs anyway. Meaning legally speaking everything happening to private servers would be literally not their concern anymore. And new legislation, should it come to that, would spell that out.
You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It’s what I use for my setup.
One thing you can do: In person organising. It’s something the campaign has been really bad at. Have some flyers printed up and start handing them out. I don’t know the Italian school schedule, but if universities are still in session they might be good targets.
I did it last year, first at Gamescom and then at a local uni and I think it helped spread the word.
https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?
For a lot of people it’s not even “going back”. They are either to young to have experienced the old web or did but bounced of it. There is a sizeable group of people out there, who went online for the first time not despite facebooks privacy invasive profile building but because of it.
Lemmys default web UI doesn’t have a endlessly loading newsfeed. That’s a intentional design decision to help users spend less time on the platform. Because spending to much time on social media is bad for your mental health. So having friction points is a good thing.
Except the competition doesn’t do that. So what is your average social media addict to do when they hit a friction point? They won’t close the browser. Instead they will go back to the commercial platforms.
Some people like junk food. But creating addictive social media yourself isn’t a good option either
Apparently: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rétention_de_sûreté_en_France
In French criminal law, “rétention de sûreté” is a procedure for placing prisoners who have served their sentence, but who present a very high risk of reoffending because they generally suffer from a serious personality disorder, in a socio-medico-judicial security center. This measure is limited to convictions for the most serious crimes, in particular sex crimes, and must be expressly provided for in the sentencing decision

I couldn’t find an English source, even the English wiki article on preventive detention doesn’t list France.
20 years is the maximum sentence in France
And here is a Guardian article on that: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/16/israel-eurovision-gaza-european-broadcasting-union
Or set your VPN to Europe and watch it on YouTube
Have you tried HERE WeGo, previously known as HERE Maps?
The app started live as Nokia Maps (so Finnish) and is now owned by a consortium of German auto makers (for some reason headquartered in the Netherlands).
I don’t have an iPhone, but according to the AppStore listing the iOS version should include CarPlay.
Depends on where you bank and on what you mean by banking app. There are generally 2 parts to online banking: The banking client and the two factor authenticator app.
If your bank supports the FinTS standard (so mostly German banks), then you can use Saldo for the first part. The second part doesn’t work like that. You’ll have to use the official apps, that aren’t built for Linux. You might be able to run it in an Android container such as Waydroid or AlienDalvik, but that’s usually difficult to impossible to do. Maybe your bank still does 2fa via sms, then you’re good to go. You’re less secure but it works
It’s not European (in fact it’s US American) but PebbleOS was open sourced a couple of months ago as well
There are “servers” on Matrix. They are called communities
Here is the relevant part of the documentation for that: https://matrix.org/docs/communities/getting-started/
I have used Teufel devices in the past and they worked well enough. But I have since switched to a selfhosted alternative. Stupid speakers (in my case old 2nd hand stereo systems), raspberry pis and the Lyrion Music Server.
You get all the benefits of commercial internet enabled speakers (the project used to power Logitechs speakers before they open sourced it) including multi room audio, various streaming service integration (both Spotify and Qobuz are supported among others) and solid app support as well as the privacy that comes from not relying on an external server
The selection prompt exist. It’s just implemented in a way that’s less than ideal. On first start a popup appears informing you about the existence of other UI layouts.
There are just two problems with it:
That part of the argument is slightly different. If I understand the press statement correctly, what they are saying is: “Some servers can’t, on a technical level, be hosted by the community”. And that’s not a straw man (arguing against something never asked for), that’s just a lie. We have access to all the same stuff as the industry (AWS etc). Hosting these kinds of servers might be very expensive, but the initiative only asks for a way to keep games alive not for a cheap way (though I would prefer a cheap way of course)
