TROMjaro 2022.12.21 (the big XFCE release)
This is it folks, XFCE - the desktop manager that we use for TROMjaro - has had the big release. Two years in the making. And it is very exciting yet very unexciting. And that’s great actually.TROMjaro Forum

We have removed the Twitter connector from our TROM Social social.trom.tf now that Twitter blocks the accounts posting URLs from these alternative social platforms like the fediverse. See this.
The feature was not working properly anyway.
It is time for people to realize that these platforms like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and the like, are not social platforms, but ad platforms, and that there are real alternatives out there. We have moved out TROM presence from the ad-platforms some 2 years ago to:
Friendica - social.trom.tf/profile/trom
Peertube - videos.trom.tf/c/trom/videos
Feel free to join us there and/or follow us. #tromlive

We have updated our TROM Files files.trom.tf and now we provide a much better Photo Gallery app. An almost complete alternative to the Google Photos. You can sort your images in albums, sort by date, add tags, folders and more.
On top of that you can now directly edit your photos from the app itself:
You can add text, resize photos, add filters, tweak the brightness, contrast and the like.
We give 5GB for free for everyone. And if anyone needs more you can let us know. We do it trade-free of course.
Enjoy the beauty of Nextcloud!
PS: a few features are missing now, such as the ability to extract archives or convert videos. We will enable them as soon as they become compatible with this new version of Nextcloud.

tmux
tmux is an open-source terminal multiplexer for Unix-like operating systems. It allows multiple terminal sessions to be accessed simultaneously in a single window. It is useful for running more than one command-line program at the same time. It can also be used to detach processes from their controlling terminals, allowing remote sessions to remain active without being visible.

Two things compared to Liberapay:
1. It allows one time donations and recurring instead of just recurring
2. It allows for transparency in how the money is spent and where it goes.
Compared to Patreon you can also add in that it is FOSS like Liberapay.
These are more positives for the end user or donater rather than the project so i can see how they wouldn't sway everyone. I wouldn't say you have to use Open Collective instead of the others, you can use it alongisde if you wanted. Just food for thought.

This is a donation campaign to help me, Tio, buy a new laptop that will allow me to become more mobile while having all I need to work on TROM and its baby projects. Please see the donation campaign for a detailed explanation and help if you can.

FIFA World Trade
The current FIFA event shows a few things that should have been obvious anyway:
1. Slavery was not abolished, it was reduced and redefined at best.
2. High level sport is a business, nothing more.
3. Greenwashing is the most popular practice of pretty much all companies and organizations.
4. Not many people care about climate change, slavery, dictatorship regimes, and so forth.
5. The ones in power (from states to organizations like FIFA) care only about profits and lie endlessly.
6. We are fucked, nothing changes. The same trade based society keeps on being in the driving seat, deciding where we go.

Many hackers around the world are (re-)decentralizing the net. This is our part, offering distributed, free (as in freedom) services to the world. Always based on Free Open Source Software.
We believe that building, owning and controlling technology is important. Hackers and Open Source communities have an opportunity and a responsibility to offer an alternative, to offer services and tools that people can trust. Beyond corporate control, that comes with tracking and data farming. Decentralized services and tools that respect users privacy by default.
We are part of the Librehosters network.

in reply to TROM • • •Unfortunately it is way more sinister than just selling ads. These platforms collect and sell user data. A famous example of malicious misuse of such data is the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal where #Facebook user data was abused to manipulate political decisions:
